the sheriff and his two deputies. just
starting out of the dance hall Five
minutes later they were in q motor car,
chugging up Kentucky gulch.
Slowly, the motor car fighting
against the grade, the trip was ac-
compllshed. Then the four men leaped
from the machine at the last rise be-
fore the tunnel was reached and three
of them went forward afoot toward
where a slight CLEAN of light came
from the mouth of the Blue Poppy.
The sheriff took the lead, at last to
stop behind boulder and to shout a
command:

"'Ey yourself!" 1t was Harry's

 Childres had been preaching to number of followers in the mountains that the world would cease to func- tion, and he selected December 25, 1921, as the date for this said event. He declared that poisonous gas would fill the air in the larger cities of the world, and within short time 1t would envelope the entire universe and leave no vestige of human life.

The noise proved to be some noun taineers who had consumed just a little too much Arkansas moonshine, which has practically the same effect as TINT.

 CAUSED HOT DISPUTE

VIENNA, Jan. 3.--Is 1t permissible for a man to sit in his shirt sleeves in a cafe? That is the question before a Viennese judge.
 An architect of unconventional habits sat in the restaurant garden of the Eisvogel dressed in tussore silk suit, but the sun burned fierce ly on him and he took off his coat, disclosing pale blue silk shirt.
 Two other guests-possibly envi- ous because their shirts were not silken-objected, and the proprietor requested the architect to put on his coat He refused.
 The envious ones and the host then proceeded to ridicule the architect until his temperature had risen to the point of calling in the police.
