The
COnnmOn-tater
By Chuck Rattle

Sisters-From the Peoria Gill;
Journal-Times Around the Town
column comes this analogy: "Peor-
ia has something in common with
Sank Centre, the little town which
Sinclair Lewis made famous with
his novel Main Street" Pictures
of the now celebrated little north
ern town were shown in a recent
number of a periodical (the pix ap-
peared in Globe for May, 1880,
and among them, right away
quick, a Peorian could spot fam
iliar landmark q. Sank centre
possesses a fountain which is a
dead-ringer for the pretty fountain
in South park, where a little boy
holds an umbrella over little
girl. Probably there are lots or
these fountains scattered about
the middle west, considered quaint
by an indulgent later generation
and reprinted in bright colors eV-
cry spring." 1t cost for the Peor-
ia fountain, back in 1908, SlO2.ol,
and the font is called "Out of the
Rain" which, says the Peoria
sheet, is something Sank Centre
and Sinclair Lewis didn't know
. The little piece was fetched IN
by Glen .Steider, one time nome
towner in Peoria.
Obituary-Not all the vestiges of
the old days have disappeared
from Main Street. AS the streets
and the town succumb to a mod
ernization that has affected every
nhase of the city's life, only Few
evidences Of the old buggy days
remain. Pleasant memories are as
sociated with drinking troughs,
hitching posts, livery barns anu
the rest Of their ilk, but to most OF
the rising generation t.tse things
are story book fantasies. Yet they
remain in a few instances. A
stones throw from Main Street on
4th there is still a length OF hitch
ing pipe, hitching posts are mute
reminders of a hey day of HOSES
in the alley behind Main Street. A
long length of posts remain on
2nd Street. At the far end Of the
triangular park near the Grea.
Northern depot remains the last OF
the watering troughs. Operating
until a few years ago it was DEEM
ed to better advantage to use IL LOT
flowers. Now with its sides crack
ed and withered in a drying eli
mate, it alone stands reminding OF
the DAYS when the young blades
used the buggy. AS a rural popuia-
tion soes to motor cars, the hitch
ing posts fall into disuse. But IN
the winter when the big SHOWS
come and driving is made uncer-
tain. the gay tinkle Of sleigh bells
heralds again the return OF the
horses to Main Street. On wintry
mornings the steaming clouds rise
from horses standing patiently az
the hitching post.

it was Julie. with whom I was due to
sup in a few minutes, paying me a
surprise visit - probably to try and
induce me to join the larger party in
the foyer instead of supping tete-a-

surprise visit all right but not at all
of the nature l had anticipated. A
young man was standing in the dimly
Lit corridor, and a single glance at
him almost took my breath away

time to recover. With a movement
which was forceful but not obviously
discourteous he pushed past me into

facing me. Just second or two too
