Only Dry Spot.
Adolphus Bush, the millionaire

a story at a St. Louis banquet.
"Two drummers," he began, "were
taken dry in a prohibition town.
They started accordingly to look for
a drink. On a corner they saw a
policeman and they decided to ask his
advice.
"Officer," they said, "is it possible
to get a drink in this town?"
"The officer led the two drummers
up to an imposing church.
" 'But surely," they said in shocked
tones, 'we aren't going to get what
we want here!'
" 'Gents,' said the officer, solemnly,
'do you see that church?'
" 'Yes,' they answered.
" 'Well, gents,' said the officer,
"that's the only place in this State
where you can't get it.' "?Detroit

"Nothing But the Truth."
The hilarious farce that will be seen
at the Academy of Music, Orangeburg,
next Friday, September 21, had
better been christened "Nothing But
Laughter," but James Montgomery,
having given his play a name that
most fittingly covers the theme of it.
he was possibly a better judge than
the New York critics who sat in
judgment upon it during its
year of joyous success at <hej
Longacre Theatre. It was the
concensus of critical opinion
that it was the best farce seen in
years. It is a play built upon a simple
idea of its hero speaking nothing
but the absolute truth for a stated
period. He bets a friend ten
thousand dollars he can do it, and
boldly tackles truth to win the money.
For a very short time the task is
placidly easy, but truth routs old
man Trouble, and then things begin
to happen. Trouble doesn't seem
very large and aggressive, when he
first pokes his nose into the noble
resolve of our hero, but he grows rapidly
and soon we see our dealer in
truth, disrupting the domestic relations
of his partner; in fact Trouble
works overtime, and reputations
that have been unblemished are
smirched. Situations that are absurd
and complicated pile up, all
credited to truth and the result of
the wager to foster and cherish that
great virtue from the lips of the man
who has espoused the cause of truth,
to win a wager. It is a novel idea
and so well has it been worked out
that an audience is kept in the throes
of laughter at the seemingly impossible
to untangle snarl into which
Hero has involved all those with
whom he comes in contact. It is a
clean, bright farce of well drawn
characters, each one of which we are
promised will have the interpretation
of the very best of farceurs. It is a
play offered for laughing purposes
only and comes to us with the record
of a year's continuous success in the
\ \
metropolis. We should, therefore,
not hesitate to accept the big town's
verdict that it is funny and enjoyable.?adv.
Eight Box Cars of Coin.
Is there someone hereabouts who
can make use of eight box cars full
of money?
This unusual freight shipment
passed through Detroit the other day
and is now on a siding at Sarnia,
Ont., while efforts are being made to
find somebody who can use it, to haul
it away.
The Muller Manufacturing company,
of Sarnia, filling a gun contract
for the British government, recently
contracted in Japan for a quantity of
brass. The consignment came by j
way of Vancouver, through Detroit
over the Pere Marquette, and was
duly delivered.
A number of bars of the metal
were thrown into the smelter. They
?
wouldn't smelt. Perplexed, the concern's
chemist cut into one of the
ingots, and made a remarkable discovery.
Under a thin coating of brass were
several rows of Chinese coins, each
with the characteristic square hole
for stringing in the sentre. Some of
them were of the denomination
known as "cash," about the size of a
quarter-dollar, and supposed to be
worth one-seventeenth of a cent. Oth
ers were smaller. Apparently, molten
brass had been poured over the
rows of coins. \
.'Officials of the Muller company believe
they have located a smelting
plant in the east with facilities to
handle the material, but a new problem
has arisen, for the railroads have
an iron-clad rule against shipment
of coin as freight.
So it is quite likely that anyone ;
who thinks he can use eight carloads
of money will be able to get it at a
reasonable figure.
Millionaires in Draft.
Pasadena's quota for the selective

whose aggregate fortunes exceed
$100,000,000, it was learned today.

Passing it Down the Line.
One mistake often leads'to another
?and sometimes to a third?as it
does fn a story that the Secretary of
War told in the course of an address
not long ago when he was speaking
of United States army regulations.
One hot day recently a private sat
in a train with his tunic unbuttoned.
Presently a sergeant strode up to him
and said: "Button up that tunic!
Did you ever hear of by-law 217, subsection
D? I'm Sergt. Winterbottom."
A gentleman in the seat behind
tapped the sergeant sternly on the
shoulder. "How dare you issue orders,"
he said, "with a pipe in your
mouth. Go home and read paragraph
174, section M, part IX. I am Major
Carroll."
At that a gentleman with a drooping
white mustache interposed from
the other side of the aisle. "If Major
Carroll," he said coldly, "will consult

that to reprimand a sergeant in the
presence of a private is an offense
not lightly to be overlooked. I am

Hapsburg Rose in Switzerland.
The Hapsburgs, or Habsburgs, of
whom the Emperor Francis Joseph
was the head, derived their name!
from the castle of Habichtsburg, or
Hawk's castle, in the Swiss canton
of Aargau. In the 12th century the
family became one of the most powerful
in Swabia. Rudolf 3rd was
I
elected Emperor of Austria in the;
j following century. While thus extending
their possessions and acquiring
influence the Hapsburgs lost their;
original family possessions, which
were gradually absorbed by the can-;
tons. Some 35 years ago the Aus-j
trians proposed to purchase the castle!
