John Barry. one of the principal
comedians with THE Bon o Girls
which will he the attraction at u

telling a rather humorous story
about an Irish copper assigned to
one of the heavily populated dis
tricts of the Bronx section OF New
York City.
According to Barry, it was a quiet
Sunday morning in the spring time,
the air was warm and the brides
twittering in the treetops. Clancy,
the copper. was ~sauntering along
without a care on his mind, hen
suddenly from one of the second
story windows there came the
shrieking voice of a woman yelling,
Murder! Fire! Pclice!"
That was Clancy's cue. lie stop
ped, leoked and then hesitated. but
again there came the shout: MI
der, Fire! P~olicei" and Clancy hest
tated no more.
Locating the window from which
the wells issued, he bounded into the
house and up the stairs two at a
time. As he reached the second
landing the cries were repeated ard
without h~esitating he burst in to h
door of the apartment from when
they came.
The sight which tlled MS eyes
was one that he did not expect. a
200 pound Hcbraic wife was stand
ing in semi-negligee with her 10
pound husband Juggling away des-
perateiy at her corset strings. with
the entrance of Clancy they both
turned, the husband. catching his
breath. asked Clancy:
We'll what do you WANT WHAT'S

Clancy was right back at him with

BY DIR. James I. Vance.

1t was not a preacher but a
Ia we who said it. That makes
it arresting. He said it in an
after dinner speech. which makes
it more arresting: THE high cost
Of low living"
Low living comes high. The most
expensive thing in the world is sin.
Let the young man who has
wasted his substance in riotous liv-
ing go on the witness stand and
tell us what he thinks about it.
Walk through an alcoholic or a
syphilitic ward in a hospital, n
look at the rotting bodies of the
poor wretches who are paying the
price of sin, and reach your W
conclusion.
The cheapest thing in the world
is just to do right.
But the money cost Is the
smallest item of expense in low liv-
ing.
The man who stamps on consci-
ence and crucifes ideals and follows
the beck and call of the lower side
of his nature, following on in the
trek of lust and sensuality. sacrl-
fees the finest and noblest thing In
life.
His own nature is paying the
price. He is daily dropping down
into the animal. The law in his
members is triumphing over the law
in his mind.
People who live low usually drag
others down with them.
If, the sinner could be made to
BAY all the price of his folly, So
ciety might shut up: but the penalty
| widens out and the innocent suffer.
This piles up the high cost of living
to a staggering sum-.

Marion, Ind.
A. There Is an innate instinct in
both feather and fur bearing animals,
which enables them to return to their
nesting places and homes. Instinct plus
careful training, tells the story most
explicitly. Again they may be an ag-
gregatioh of natural locaters, as is
found among men; woodsmen have this
faculty which is frequently brought into
practical use. Homing or carrier pig
cons are trained by easy stages, car
rytng them away and releasing at grad
ualy increasing distances. Their flight
is usually less than 500 miles, as ii
becomes necessary for them to light
and prolonged rest after which they
rarely reach their destination. They
are bred for strength, speed and en-
durance. They have long wings and
bodies and may usually be detected by
the bare skin around the eyes. Two
sooty terms liberated off the coast of
Cape Hatteras, returned to their nest
on the Tortugas. a distance of 1851
miles, in five days.
