POST GETS ARTISTIC RANGE
Chicago Organization Acquires Use of
Famous Worlds Fair Field
Museum Building.

The American Legion win soon have
the use of a building known TO mill
lions In America as the embodiment
of beauty in art and architecture, the
old Fine Arts building of the 1898
Worlds Fair The. crack of army
rifles will be heard in the famous
structure, for Ii has been turned over
TO the Hyde Park post, No. "a. of the
Legion in Chicago. as an indoor rifle
range.
The large edifice. known as the old
Field museum after the Worlds fair,
was evacuated with the completion OF
the new Field museum. Various or
CARNATIONS of Chicago Immediately
besieged the park commissioners for
permission TO use the building. but
the Legion posts request alone was
granted
LegiOnnaires now have a rifle range
de luxe, one that will tend to erase
the veterans memories of sweltering
days, shivering days and cold. moist
days spent In trying to locate the
bullseye on the army's outdoor fir
Ing points. The building is so large
that a 200-yard range was established
without difficulty, along with the
shorter distances.

BOOKS FOR DISABLED HEROES
Congress Appropriates 100000 for
Reading Material for Soldiers
Confined to Hospitals.

Disabled heroes of the World war
are not to be without good books to
read while they are fighting to regain
health in the hospitals of this cOun-
try. Congress has appropriated In the
civil sundry bin the sum Of 100000
for the purchase Of books. with the
result that each Of the $4,000 disabled
veterans will soon have three or four
new books 10 read.
The American Library association,
which still has charge of the libraries
I'm the larger hospitals, has been EN-
barrassed by a shortage Of funds, and
up To this time posts of the American
Legion have taken over the duty Of
supplying books TO the disabled in
hundreds Of the smaller hospitals. The
appropriation by congress does not
mean that either the services OF the
American Library association or the
American Legion in this respect are to
be dispensed with. but that they are
to be greatly augmented and rein
forced.

statement. Mrs. Dingman enjoyed the
best of health until three years ago
when she began TO suffer from a bad
form Of stomach trouble and later
from rheumatism. How she was COM
pletely restored 10 health is best told
in her own words:

morning train to Hazelmead. having
left Christmas NJ the Widow Moran's.
In the mill city he bought a high
silk hat and a gold-headed cane and
a new suit OF clothes and a boiled
shirt and a high collar and a red
necktie. II didn't matter to him that
the fashion and fit OF his garments
were not quite in keeping with the
SIX hat and gold-headed cane. There
were three other items I'm the old
dream OF splendor-the mother. the
prancing team. and the envious re-
marks OF the Onlookers. His mother
was gone. Also there were no pranc-
ing horses In Hazelmead, but he could
hire an automobile.
Ia the course of his celebration he
asked lady whom he met in the
street. II she would kindly be his
mother for a day. He meant well
but the lady being younger than
Hiram and not accustomed TO such
familiarity from strangers, did not
feel complimented by the question.
They fled from each other. Soon,
Hiram bought a big custard pie In a
bake-shop and had IL cut into SMALL
ish pieces and. having purchased pie
and plate, went out upon the street
With IL. He ate what he wanted Of
the pie and generously offered the
rest OF IL TO sundry people who passed
him. IL was not impertinence In
Hiram; IL was pure generosity-a de-
sire 10 share his riches, favored. in
some degree. by a feeling OF vanity.
Il happened that Mr.. ]. Patterson
Bing came along and received a
tender OF pie from Mr.. Blenkinsop.
NO" said Mr.. Bing. with that old
hammer whack I'm his voice which
aroused bitter memories in the mind
OF Hiram.
That tone was great piece OF im-
prudence. There was a menacing
gesture and a rapid succession OF
footsteps on the pavement. Mr.. Bing's
retreat was not, however. quite swift
enough TO save him. The pie landed
on his shoulder. In a moment, Hiram
Whs arrested and marching toward
tile lookup while Mr.. Bing went to

and secured.
A few days later Hiram Blenkinsop
arrived IN Bingville. Mr.. Singleton
