NEXT to Washington, no doubt, Cincinnati is
very nice place, but when the writer
thinks Of it he is always reminded Of the play
he saw at the Columbia Tl1eater, IN this city,
back In February, 1904. and which they called,
in the absence of better name, 1.-THE Prince

John w. RanSone, as the Cincinnati brewer, no
doubt can still almost imagine they hear him
ask, "VaS you efer in Zinzinnati?"
The writer has before him clipping he has
saved all these years of this play. It is the
criticism Of a local paper, and says among sew
eral things: The audience was one of the
largest of the present season and included many
persons prominent in the social life of Wash

Regarding the quoted statement that the
senior Nicholas Longworth In early life was a
shoemaker-which may or may not be true-it
Is quite interesting to note some OF those who
for awhile at least followed this honorable oc-
cupation and later became famous in other
lines.
LtnnAeus, the under Of the science of botany,
was apprenticcd as such in Sweden, but after
ward. when his natural history ability made
Itself apparent, was sent to college.
The elder David Vareus who subsequently
became the celebrated professor Of theology at
Heidelberg, Germany, was also at one time
appfenttced to q shoemaker.
Joseph Pendrall, who died many years ago
In London, and who was q profound and scien-
tific scholar, leaving an excellent library,
learned, and even pursued through life the
trade Of g. shoemaker. Likewise Hans Sachs,
one Of the most famous Of the early German
poets. though the son Of q tailor, served an
apprenticeship to a shoemaker and afterward
became q weaver
Benedict Baudouin, one of the most learned
men Of the sixteenth century, was shoemaker,
as likewise was his father. This man wrote a

 All right. Four weeks from to- morrow it is" He groaned again. -Four miserable, eternal weeks"
 The next morning Sam felt light, buoyant, carefree Her car ran more smoothly than ever before. The traffic on the way to town was not an annoying conflict, but a friendly rubbing Of shoulders with a pleasant world.
 Sam entered the Express build- ing, and threaded her way among many desks. Just before she reach ed the glazed door of Peaks office a hand was laid on her arm.
 It was her brother Nelson. His expression was sombre. Good morning, Sam. Can you spare time to talk to me for aminute?'
 Of course She nodded and seated herself at an empty desk nearby. Nelson pulled up a chair and sat down beside her. She smiled at him. What's on your mind?"
 He scowled oIJs Martha"
 Oh" Sams eyebrows came up. T didn't think you'd be worrying about her this morning I thought everything was all fixed up. thought you would be fairly cneer- ful and a bit grateful to Peak for all he's done for you"
 I'm grateful enough, don't wor- ". I suppose I should be cheerful too" He shrugged. Its just that there are a few things about the whole business that I don't under stand. I don't like them, either" "
 What don't you like?"
 His scowl deepened. T don't like the hundred dollar bill that was ir Marthas pocketbook yhen she came home. Where did she get it? A hundred dollars is lot oi money"

Peak tipped back her chin. T have a strong feeling that I am going to kiss you-like this!"
 Sam put her head to his should CT. Now talk to me, will you, please. Tell me about something" i"
 Let me see" Peak drowned for a moment and then frightened. "I have iti I have the precise thing. We'll talk about our we'd ding. We'll discuss churches, and bridesmaids and spats. We'll decide whether it is to be next Wednes- day or whether I must be tortured until Saturday afternoon at four o'clock"
 "Wednesday? Saturday," Sam sat up very straight. Why l couldn't possibly be ready any where near that soonl. Why"
 Look here" said Peak sternly, whats the matter with next Sat- urday, or next Wednesday, for that matter? They seem like jolly days to me. A bit remote, perhaps, but -"
 Peak" said Sam firmly. will you please stop being silly, and listen to me?
 'If we ordered the invitations tomorrow morning they might pos sibly be ready in week. In that case. we could be married three weeks later. That would make it four weeks from tomorrow"

names. Where will you be at the end? Nowhere. You'll just make everybody unhappy for no gooc purpose.
 Sol" He stared at her. I'm tc take my licking and like it, am I? I'm to be kicked all over the lot without being allowed so much as one kick in return? Is that what I'm to do?"
 T know just how you feel,' she said quietly, "and I don't blame you. At the same time, I'm going to ask you to make me promise I want you to promise me, Nelson that you won't say a word to Fourth-that you'll just let things slide"
 Really" He smiled politely Perhaps you'd like to come out and kiss my honored parent on both cheeks!"
 No, you don't have to do that I'll be satisfied if you don't see him at all-if you just leave him alone. Will you promise me that you'll leave him alone, Nelson?"
 He scowled. T don't see any reason why I should"
 Maybe because I ask you to. Maybe because if you do you'll make me very happy" She nodded. Did you know that Peak and are going to be married four weeks from today?"
 "No."
 Well, we are, and that's why I'm asking you to make this prom ise. I want to be happy, Nelson, and it's obvious that I can't be happy with you and Fourth quar- reling all over the premises. I'd be miserable. You wouldn't like that"
 No"
 All right, then,' she pleaded earnestly, promise me what ask. If you do, I'll make you a promise in return. I'll promise that Fourth will never interfere with your af- fairs again. I'll see to it. Is it a bargain?"
 Nelson hesitated. He scoWled and shrugged his shoulders. Then he said ungraciously: "All right, Sam,
The Daily Alaska empire., 1931-11-06

I'll do it. I'll do it to help you out, but that's the only reason. If 1t weren't for you"
 T know" She put her hand gratefully on his. T know, and I'll never be able to thank you enough. You've made me happy when I most want to be happy"
 That's all right" He patted her hand absently and stared straight ahead. Then he said suddenly: Do you know what the worst part of this whole thing is, Sam? It's Fourths money"
 His money? I don't understand"
 T mean that this invention thing is the worst thing that could have possibly happened. It gave Fourth a lot of money, and giving Fourth money is like giving a child a stick of dynamite and hammer. It makes him dangerous"
 What do you mean?"
 T mean that if he hadn't had money he. wouldn't have been able to start this trouble between Mar tha and me. He wouldn't have been dangerous.
 Wed be better off if we were poor the way We used to be. It isn't natural for Fourth to have money, and there's something fishy about it. I feel the way the Frye woman does. I wish he'd lose it all. By the way, have you seen the honorable Mrs. Frye lately?"
 No"
 T wonder what snes doing?" She said she was going to do some thing. I wish I could help her. Maybe I will"
 'Nelson!'
 q don't care" He shook his head doggedly. Fourth, with money, is bad news, and there's no two ways about it. Money makes him dan

Nelson's forcbOdings take a heavier tone tomorrow, when he telephones Sam that he must see her at once.
The Daily Alaska empire., 1931-11-06

How should I know?" Sam wes instantly on the defensive. She was also uneasy. How should l know anything about Martha'S money matters? Why didn't you ask her where it came from? She could probably tell you"
 She could, but she won't. All she does is cry"
 Honestly, Nelsonl" Sam affected anger. T should think you'd be satisfied to let well enough alone So long as you have Martha back what do you care if she has hun dred dollar bill? Why must you immediately start to make more trouble?"
 He was stubborn. T want to know where that money came from"
 Well, I didn't give it to her, l can promise you that
 "Mayoc you didn't, but I'll bet you know who did. If you don't I'll tell you" Nelson's eyes were blaz- ing now. Fourth gave it to her! Fourth was behind this whole rot ten business, and there's no use telling me he wasn't. I know.
 I'm not telling you anything, said Sam quietly. What's more I'm not going to talk about it any more. It's all too silly
 "Silly?" demanded Nelson say agely. Can you sit there and tel me it's silly when man tries tc make his sons wife leave him? + that what you call silly?"
 No" She sighed. I'm merely saying that it's silly for you tc make all this fuss It won't dc any good"
 Wont it?"
 "No. I suppose you are right ir what you guess, Sonny Suppose Fourth did give Martha the money What are you going to do about it?"
 He clenched his hand. "Ill-Il li-"

DINING CAR GUESTS
 FAVOR ICE CREAM

One out of every two dining car travellers order ice cream according to an announcement of the New York Central railroad company. Fifty out of every hundred dining car guests give the dessert order with "ice cream, cake and demitasse,, please"
 During 1929 over one million serv- ings of ice cream were ordered on the New York Central. Since ice cream is enjoyed almost entirely for luncheon and dinner, the percentage of customers ordering ice cream runs as high as 50 per cent. During 1929 almost four and half million meals were served.
 Although vanilla ice cream is the universal favorite the year round other varieties may be ordered on the Twentieth Century Limited. Dur ing the early part of the strawberry season, strawberry ice cream is one of the popular choices on the dining car menu. Fresh peach ice cream is a special favorite during peach time. Dining car chefs of the Twen- tieth Century Limited say that vanil- Ia ice cream is always in demand regardless of the season.
 A quart of whole milk furnishes the body with more than one-half of the days food essentials accord ing to data compiled by the National Dairy council. When a part of this quart of milk is taken in a serving of ice cream, some of the daily SUD- ply of vitamins, protein, minerals and energy is consumed. Ice cream is one of the most delightful ways of getting the necessary supply of dairy products.
