riment of the OCCASIONAL gloom,
sentiment and tragedy being strictly
taboo. Following the vaudeville acts,
there will be the headliner, a girl
revue, full of pep, snap and fun.
"Follies of pa" is what the act calls
itself, but this musical comedy by any
other name would be just as splendid
an entertainment. It's clean, snappy
revue of just the right caliber needed
for this occasion.
The program will then be continued
with five more comedies, each better
and funnier than the other, each a
distinct novelty, and all of course
brand new. For the midnight frolic,
all seats at the Palace theatre are
reserved. These tickets are now OBJ
tainable at the Palace box office, and
the old slogan of FIRST come, first
served" will, of course, prevail in this
case. An so indications are that
Hamilton will turn out en- masse to
greet the New Year at the Palace as
in former years.

THE KALEIDOSCOPE
By 1. C. McCUMBER

Joe Letter, one OF the couHCTyS s Dig
business men and high in the world
of "Who's Who," had his name in the
paper short time ago. 1t appears
that he invested some of his surplus
cash in drinkable fluids and some
thieving hounds, like our own booze
hounds, swiped some $4,000 worth
the first time, returned and gobbled
up some $4,000 more. Oh, no, for
a jug of rum, and plenty of brass!
Most people have a wonderment
how it is that our government is oper-
ated upon system of checks and bal
ances, wherein the people put up the
checks and special privilege gets the
balance. 'Tis easy if you sit at the
throne. If you don't believe this pur-
veyor of the truth, ask Mr.. Fall or
Harry Daugherty. And yet that
would be foolish, for their lawyers
have told them not to talk.
A recent acquisition to our "Who's
Who," under the cognomen of boot
logger, ayers that the American
should help his country by purchasing
moonshine. That bootlegger is a nut
and never lived in the states that
have been "dry" for many years.
Down in that country it is not ques-
tion of helping your country quite so
much as it is to help the corn grower.
And the corn grower does not fatten
any pigs in his sty.
The Memphis Commercial Appeal
states that truth is not only a
stranger to most people, but is also
the antithesis of fiction. That paper
is qualified to tell Roy Haynes that
prohibition does not prohibit, just the
same way as the emancipation of the
negro works in the rock-ribbed cotton
lands of the Sunny South 1t works
ask the officials.
At last one of the conundrums that
has puzzled many workmen has been
solved. Sir Robert Horne, eulogizing
work, says that it is the justification
of existence, the zest of life, solace
in sorrow, and the glory of mankind.
And this, perhaps, is why SO many

THE Rambler told last Sunday
many facts concerning Matthew
Wright, who came to Washington
from Ireland in 1896 and had become
in the early part of the first decade
of the nineteenth century an impor-
tant and prosperous man. You were
told the substance of the deed by
which Samuel MARSHALL. owner OF
Marshalrs Adventure. and his wife.
Drucilla, conveyed that tract to
Wright in 1919. In the deed Wright
is described as of the County of
Washington and the Inference is that
he was living in the highlands of the
Eastern Branch. on one of the tracts
of which he was in possession when
he died. The Rambler has not found

The Bridge of Sand.

0NE Spring some years ago young
~ man from Missouri went into the
Texas Panhandle" to locate a sec
tion Of land. At Childress he hired a
horse and a cart and drove west.
Late one evening he stopped at a
water hole about 80 feet long and Is
feet wide. He thought he would
drive across it. but no sooner had the
horses feet touched the water than
down, down he went. and as his ears
went out Of sight the rider turned
quickly on the seat, seized his grip
| and jumped out. Horse and cart went
out of sight, but soon came up safe
on the other side, none the worse for
the bath.
The man went on to the town of
| Memphis and stayed overnight. The
next morning he started back to
Childress, and when he got to the
Red River he found a fiat. level waste

wide through which the stream was
| winding like a lazy serpent There
had been a very severe wind and
sand storm the day before and when
the Missouri youth started across the
river the storm revived.
BY the time he got to the stream
itself the wind had blown the sand
into the water until the stream.
which was only foot or so in depth,
was completely filled, although he
could see the water above and below
80 or 40 yards away. He was afraid
of quicksands. But he got out of the
cart, went out on this bridge of sand
and jumped up and down on it. 1t
seemed solid enough and, after much
coaxing, he induced the horse to start
across
About halfway across the sand
bridge he whirled round and ran
back to the starting point on the
bank. He was urged forward again
and by liberal use Of the whip the
creature was gotten across. But then
the horse seemed to lose his head,
whirled round again. and, in spite Of
his driver, ran back across the stream
to the other bank. The sand bridge
began to show damp spots. The horse
In running across it had begun to jar
it loose. The driver had no time to
across. and with a great deal of diff.
Guilty the animal was taken over, and
none too soon. for the water was ris-
ing in the tracks made by the horse
and cart
The youth led the horse to main
land, distance of about 600 yards,
for he feared to drive, the beast. The
wind was blowing the sand directly
in the youths face and he could go
only 20 or 80 yards. when he would
have to stop and get his breath for a
few minutes. Then with his hat be-
fore his face he would drag the horse
forward again, until finally the bank
was reached, the youth almost ex-
hausted. with his lips parched and
most of the skin peeled from his face
by the cutting sand.

Pipes Suspended.

ONE of the most remarkable bridges
in this country spans the Skagit
River in the State of Washington. a
town near the river depends for its
water supply upon a number of
side of this stream. The water is
carried to the town in an iron pipe
having an opening of about six inches
in diameter. The quest on arose how
to carry this conduit across the river
To build an ordinary bridge was far
too expensive, owing to the width of
the stream, and it was found impos-
sible to lay the pipe on the river bed
because the rapid current would
probably break it. Finally it was
decided to make a sort of suspension
bridge. A tower of strong timber
was erected on each bank and wire
cable stretched across from the top
of one tower to the ttop of the other.
Then the lengths of pipe were fas-
tened securely to this cable by
smaller cables as fast as the lengths
were Joined together. At each en-
of the cable an elbow was set into
the pipe line and connected with
other lengths reaching to the ground
When the work was finished two
wires were stretched across the pipe.
and thus sort of footway was made
over the river. which is frequently
used by the lumbermen in the vicin-
ity. This novel ariel conduit has been
in use for some time and, although

If any one had made the prediction

THERE is an interesting and unique
electrically operated trumpet or
siren, invented abroad. which produces
a very loud, penetrating and far-reach-
ing sound, particularly suitable for sig
mailing and alarm purposes on railways
and In mines and collieries, also for fire
alarm and marine services.
In workshops plurality of these
trumpets or sirens are worked In par
allel from the local electric lighting cir
cult or from the shop power supply
mains. They are set in operation by
simple pressure Of button.
These sirens are suitable for sharply
marked of signals according to the
Morse code. and may be operated on
electric circuits with a pressure Of from
10 to $50 volts and with current of
about one-tenth Of an ampere at the
aforementioned voltage. The diameter
of the membrane is from hve to seven
inches and the complete equipment
varies in weight from seven to nine
pounds. '
The principle on which the apparatus
is constructed depends on the alternat-
ing action of the armature of an electro
magnet Of given number of vibrations
on a metallic diaphragm by aid of an
elastic double-armed lever with unequal
arms, the ratio of which is accurately
determined for obtaining a clear and
powerful note or tone. The diaphragm.

tTRELLIs WORK" in such great

whose magnitude, before the Rookie
feller gift, seemed practically hope
less.
All the delicious little summer
houses, "bosquets." rustic shelters,
arbors. covered benches in surprise
hooks of the forest which are so
agreeable to visitors. are treliis-
work, as are all supports of climbing
vines.
In the Hamlet of Marie Antoinette,
where the court played village life
and the queen played milkmaid. all
the supporting woodwork around the
rustic porticoes is trellis-work.
So, in the colonnade, that circle of
arches without roof, in the thickets
near the Basin of Apollo, the entire
construction is one fountain. Jets of
water shoot up from the table-like
marble basins between columns. Here,
as under SO much fountain-water in
f1uence throughout the park, the trel-
lis-work has rotted.
An obvious example is the circular
