Embarrassing

It is related that while couple OF
school teachers were travelling ir
Canada, they stopped at hotel one
evening and the fussy one of the
pair left her room to locate the
means of escape in case of fire dur
ing the night.
In the corridor she pushed open a
door and found herself in an occu-
pied bathroom To the man in the
tub she exclaimed, "Oh, | beg your
pardon. I was looking for the fire
escape"
She continued her search, when
presently she heard someone coming
behind her. On turning, she saw the
bather, clad only in towel Where
is the fire." he cried excitedly.

Reformed Republican Who Has Had
Enough Indicates Why He Will
Vote Democratic Ticket
Washipgton.-Many Republican vot-
ers who htend to vote the Democratic
ticket this year are expressing their
intention through the columns of their
local papers. The following letter to
the editor of the New York Sun 0nd.)
from one such voter sets forth his rea-
sons by implication in such dramatic
way that it is worthy of reproduction:
ITO the Editor of the Sun-Sir: In
Philadelphia couple of days ago,
while walking back to the Broad street
station on my way home, this is what
saw: A two-story building set back
little from the street on top of
which was huge electric sign in
Guiding the American flag in red,
white and blue lights. Emblazoned in
big letters was the following: "Hoover
and Curtis 1892 - Love of Country
Will Prevail" 1t seemed to me that
the building must be the Philadelphia
Republican Club for sitting on the
raised front porch were serveral opu
lent-looking gentlemen in shirt sleeves
smoking nice, fat cigars.
Anyway, the point of the whole
story is that when / looked ahead
again my gaze fell on Philadelphia's
City Hall, on which stands likeness
of Benjamin Franklin, and it occurred
to me that it was a good thing the
statue faced away from that electric
sign, else the shock Of seeing it
might send old Ben toppling and in
his fall he might land on good Dem
ocrat and thus spoil one of the votes
which is going to put the present Ad-
ministration where it belongs. | and
my people for generations have been
affiliated with the Republican party
and it is not exactly to my liking to
break away from old traditions. How
ever, ! have had enough! And the
ticket nominated in Chicago by the
Democrats will have my vote and |
have no doubt there are tens of thou
sands who feel the same way.

BY FRANCIS Z. STAN.

rs an almost forgotten fact

of that title.
Those five years will be up starting

is residing in Richmond.
Whalen is leading with q four-year
total of 4,352 for the 36 games, which
includes singles, doubles and team
matches during all of the previous
n. D. B. c. tournaments. Henry Hiser
is second with 4,337 Archie Walsh of
Boston is third with 4,334 and Red
Megaw is fourth with 1920.
Whalen, however, is not the bowler
today he was three or four years ago.
Hiser is nursing a sore whip, so as q
consequence it is upon Megaw that
most of the Capitalites are pinning
their hopes.
A VICTORY for Megaw would be
IA popular, especially here, but 1t is
doubtful if more popular tri-
umph could be Forthcoming nation
ally than one for Archie Walsh, the
grizzled Bostonian.
Walsh, to bowling, is what Jack
Quinn is to base ball-the grand old
man."
One Of Archie's claims to fame is
that he is the daddy of triplets. An
other is that he has been bowling for
SO years. Walsh Is fine duckpin
shooter, but his specially Is candlepins,
and only three or four times a year does
he indulge in duckpins. Yet even to-
day he is one of the country's best, de-
