The Coming 7'ower

A costly motor car stopped next to
mine,
Tho traffic being blocked at Bleecker
Street.
A costly, lordly motor car 1t was,
(It costs six thousand I. o. b. Detroit).
One gentleman sat in tho limousine,
Reading the paper on his way to work,
Intent upon the column Curb Transac-
tions.
thought he seemed prosy business
man
Until I saw, within th~ costly car,
Glass cornucopial with color afood,
Brimming with roses and carnations
rcd
Not wax the flowers, but made of COL
ored paper.
"Now there's a guy" l mumbled to
myself,
"That I should call considerable ef-
fcient--
No time, no motion lost in changing
flowers"
Perhaps did the man a deep injustice,
Perhaps he chooses paper flowers be-
cause
It'd break his heart to see the real
ones die.
/ why" asks the Litry Dge, "does
not some publisher bid for the seed
g. S. b. sows so plentifully in The
Tribune's Coming Tower?" Perhaps
one reason is that publishers contine
their newspaper reading to book news
and comment, just as theatrical man
ayers, with the exception of those
whose press representatives will say,
Want me to answer this slur?" limit
their newspaper reading to matters
connected with the stage. Narcissus is
the truest character in all mythology.
The Digest, by the way, scores no
beat in its suggestion to publishers.

Sir: While agreeing with the idea
of offering a $1,000 prize for the best
guess as to what becomes Of the food
served on the stage but which actors
never eat, 1 should like to point out
few of the inaccuracies in the refer
ence to the doings Of Jane in "Jane
Clegg."
From personal knowledge I can state
that, in accordance with her up-to-
date ideas on the subject of Thrift,
Jane cuts only half q slice of bread
for her husband when he eats in the
first act. The half loaf which she
later cuts up makes meal for the TWO
children, who invariably eat what is
left the moment they are offstage.
Miss Helen Westley also gives the
lie direct to the Idea that much food
leaves the stage in "Jane Clegg." She
does not simulate eating, but, as will
be seen from observation, she devours
marmalade, bread; drinks two or three
cups of milk; in fact, everything on
the table disappears by tho time her
meal is ended. feel that this is
All oppOrtune moment to say that Mr.
Dudley Digges-Henry Clegg-is an
ardent advocate of meals taken in the
home" and the fact that he eats little
IN the first act of "Jane Clegg" NAV
be due to the fact that he has Just
eaten with Kitty.
For personal reasons l cannot bear
the insinuation that Jane Clegg Is any,
thing but the perfect housekeeper.

DESTROYED
BY E[KO SHERIFF

The ghost of the beloved departed
John Barleycorn permeated every
nook and cram of the Elko county
courthouse Tuesday morning, and N
fact all day, says the Independent.
From early morning until a late hour
in the afternoon Deputy Sheriff La
mon and McMullen were engaged in
emptying into the municipal sewer
quart after quart and gallon. after
gallon of the stuff that once fur
nished a lurid setting for Nevada as
one of the frontier states. Pursuant
to the recent decision of the Nevada
supreme court, In the case of the
state VS.. Arrascada, Sheriff Harris
issued orders to destroy all of the ex-
pensive collection which he has been
keeping under lock and key in the
courthouse basement eve since he
first confiscated it, shortly after he
dry law went into effect. The value
of the sheriff's stock was in the neigh
hood of thirty thousand dollars and
every drop of it went into the dis
card.
The method of destruction was sim
pie, but efficient. Hammers, cork
screws and long sticks were the
weapons employed against old John
and corks sounded merrily while the
rising fumes slowly, but surely, De-
gan getting the official rabbits of the
two gentlemen who were engaged IN
the work of destruction.
Toward the last of the session We
e advised, on good authority, th7t
McMullen wanted to kiss the last bot
tie goodbye, but Lamon insisted that
he should have the honor. The re-
suit was that they decided to keep
the last bottle as a souvenir, neither
being agreed that the other should
perform the solemn farewell &c g
mony. There was a sign standing
pany, to which company the lease has
been transferred. Mr.. Nichols is now
on the Coast and has bought a stal-

WHARTOKSAPATENT
MEDICINE CAMPAIGN

Charles +. Wharton, candidate for
the Republican nomination for United
States senator, is making a sort of a
patent medicine campaign for the
nomination, judging from the report
of his activities. contained in a re-
cent issue of the Sparks Tribune.
Wharton is out on a combination anti
graft and high cost of living cam
paign, which he backs up with poems
and quotations from Martin Luther
four hundred years old. The Tribune
views his canvass recently made in
Sparks in the following
Senatorial candidate Charles =.
Wharton, of the non-partisan league,
and a candidate for the Republican
nomination, has been visiting Sparks
the last few days. Mr.. Wharton is
conducting an unique campaign, In
fact, nearly everything in connection
with his campaign and personality is
unusual. He has made a house to
house canvass of this city, and has
placed his own Auditory literature at
the doors of all citizens and has dis
tributed his own Autographs in the
business houses. Mr.. Wharton is a
tall, angular gentleman, with a flow
ing white beard and confesses that ne
is an Ohio Republican, who has spent
about four years in Nevada, off and
on lately devoting himself to the
organization of the North Dakota
non-partisan league. He claims the
organization in Nevada has fifty diff
ferent clubs and over 500 members.
He claims to have already safely
tucked away in his inside pocket the
endorsement of hat number of voters
for the senatorship.
Candidate Wharton is distributing
a leaflet that is remarkable as an
example of how to become a candi-
date for the senate. Heretofore in
Nevada our senators have been Sc
lected after years of achievement
within the state because of their abil-
ity in industrial and state affairs.
Candidate Wharton. though, steps

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. l.-Davy
Jones hardest working little locker
filler is going to be thrown out of his
Job by Uncle Sam next month when
the United States navy will cut the
terror out of fogs around San Fran
cisco bay. Four government radio
compass stations, new guardians OF
he Golden Gate, will begin their
protective work September Is, it
was announced today by Lieutenant
Commander S. d. McCaughey, dis
trict communication superintendent
of the Twelfth naval district here,
These stations are located at Point
Reyes, Bird Island, Point Montara
and Garallons, off the entrance of
San Francisco bay. The Farallons
station is the group control station,
whose radio call will be "NPl." The
work will be to give true bearings
to vessels in fog, and thus hold them
10 their course safe from the rocks
and shoals.
Each station will wireless the true
bearing of the ship from the station,
and the intersection OF these bearings
when charted will determine the pre-
else position of the ship.
The service will be given free to
all shipping and handled on a wave
length of 500 meters. CaIls'will moi
be answered on any other wave
length.
Use should be made Of these
compass stations in clear as well as
foggy weather, for training Of per
