The story of Harry Lives, better known to the police as John Lewis, is the story of an Indian who "discov- ered'' himself while in jail. Lives drew the accompanying Indian head and many other very creditable sketches while an inmate of the city bastile. His cellmates never tire of hearing him re- cite poetry. Harry has a good com mand of the English language and Is familiar with modern writers and their works
 Harry craves any beverage which contains more than One-half of one per cent alcohol. That is his failing. He knows the best favored hair tonics. can point out the lemon and vanilla ex- tracts which carry the hardest kick and can mix a denatured alcohol cock
 tail with the precision of an old time bartender.
 Many pages of the annual police reo- ord carry the notation. John Lewis, Indian. Drunk and disorderly." And yet Harry Lives, or John Lewis, Is not troublesome to the police. He simply gets drunk and arrested with the reg ularity of school boy trying to make an attendance record immediately be- fore Christmas. He finished his last jail sentence Saturday night and left
 as souvenirs of the occasion a little
 gallery of intimate pencil sketches. Although a graduate of the Indian
 school. Harry did not realize his talents at the time he was a. student there and | confined his studies to a practical course in agriculture. He never had

instructions in drawing nor thumbed over school texts of poetry and prose. Long days of idleness in the city jail caused him to devote more and more time and attention to the pursuance of these studies. He read every book and and worked far into the night with a stubby pencil and a scrap of paper. Harry often draws upon his own imag- ination for art subjects.
 As doughboy with the 30th infantry Harry served 16 months overseas. From his army life he draws inspira- tion for many interesting bits of verse. The following lines are from one of his compositions:
 Zero hourl With rush we sor&m- bic over the top.
 | A shell breaks near-a shriek-- one of my comrades drop. From far across the ocean comes the whisper of a moan
 The sob of e gray-haired mother
 who faces the world alone.

 In New York City crime has become so systematized that the police have found it necessary to specialize if they hope to match their wits against the lawbreakers. They have bomb squad there, with an expert whose duty 1t Is to look after internal machines. When ever one of these death dealing instru- ments is found 1t is the duty of this expert to open it. The finger print bu- reau is older, and deals with all types of crime. In the hunt for anarchists and undesirables the members of the bomb squad and the finger print bu- reau work together to great advantage.

which the fabled labors of Hercules were simply part of the days work. In the course of his never ending in- vestigations, Flynn has found it neces- sary to employ the most modern of po- lice methods.

John Sharp Williams is a sage
among Senators. He came to
Washington from Mississippi in
the days when the Stars and

his Confederate views. But
like multitudeS of others of the
Southland has come to be so in
tensely loyal to the Union, and
its institutions, that the decline
of any feature of our Govern
ment is painful to him. The
HonorableJohn Sharp was the
Democratic leader in the House
for years, and then he came to
the Senate after a brief spell
spent on his farm. Now he is
going to retire voluntarily, for
the reason that he gives that he
has "long since lost interest in
the ordinary machineryof poll
tics" To make his point clear
he says: Il contemn and despise
it.
On an important occasion
when the water power measure
was under consideration Sena-
tor Williams called the attention
of the Senate to the fact that
eleven Senators had listened to
the argument, and he comment
ed This is fair sample of the
utility of the United States.
Eleven Senators, five on one side
and six on the other side, repre-
sent the two great parties here

propositions" Two additional
Republican Senators came in at
this point in Mr.. Williams

their presence, and then went on
