POST GETS ARTISTIC RANGE
Chicago Organization Acquires Use of
Famous World's Fair Field
Museum Building.
The American Legion will soon have
the use of a building known to mil- I
lions in America as the embodiment
of beauty in art and architecture, the
old Fine Arts building of the 1888
World's Fair. The crack of army
rifles will be heard in the famous
structure, for it has been turned over
to the Hyde Park post, No. 34, of the
Legion in Chicago, as an indoor rifle
range. \
The large edifice, known as the old !
Field museum after the World's fair, i
was evacuated with the completion of j
the new Field museum. Various or
ganizations of Chicago immediately
besieged the park commissioners for
permission to use tne building, but
the Legion post's request alone was
granted.
Legionnaires now have a rifle range
de luxe, one that will tend to erase
the veteran's memories of sweltering
days, shivering days and cold, moist
days spent in trying to locate the
bullseye on the army's outdoor tir
ing points. The building is so large
that a 200-yard range was established
without difficulty, along with the
shorter distances.

Row many grains of corn will a ter

The bird was placed in a show win

and crowed for provender, which was
not forthcoming. Then 1,000 grains of
tempting yellow corn were spread he
fore him. Guesses as to how many
grains of corn it would take to assuage
his hunger were sold at ten cents each.
In three hours Mr. Rock bad gulped

BOOKS FOR DISABLED HEROES
Congress Appropriates $100,000 for
Reading Material for Soldiers
Confined to Hospitals.
Disabled heroes of the World war
are not to be without good books to
read while the.v are lighting to regain
health in the hospitals of this coun
• try. Congress lias appropriated in tin
civil sundry hill the sum of $100,000
for the purchase id' hooks, with the
result that each of the 'J.'t.ooo disabled
veterans will soon have three or four
new books to read.
The American Library association,
which still has charge of the libraries
in the larger hospitals, has been e«!I
j barrassed by a shortage of funds, and
up to this time posts of the American
Legion have taken over the duty of
supplying hooks to the disabled in
i hundreds of the smaller hospitals. The
appropriation by congress does not
mean that either the services of the
American Library association or the
American Legion in this respect tire to .
I he dispensed with, hut that they are
i to be greatly augmented and rein
forced.

Post, Look on Brighter Side
of Things.
Disabled veterans of the World war,
! nearly nil of them overseas veterans
and members of the Walter Heed post
of the American Legion in Washing
i ton, D. C, have adopted what they
I term, "The creed of the Disabled
Man," which, called to the attention
of President Harding upon a recent
visit to the hospital, was by the Pres
ident prounced tine. The "creed"
reads af follows:
Once more to he useful—to see pity
, In the eyes of my friends replaced
with commendation—to work, pro
duce, provide and to feel thai I have
a place in the world, seeking no fa
vors and given none—a man among
; men in spite of this physical handicap.
Cost of Living in Paris.
The cost of living In Paris is not
exorbitant for an American, who is
i paid In American dollars, according
to a letter from a member of the Paris
I Post of the American Legion.
"Beware the big restaurants :md
duck Into the side streets unfrequent
ed by tourists." the veteran warns.
"I had a fine meal today for 8.50
francs, or about fifty cents.

In all in.- young life Jlmmle had
never before known the meaning of
the word discouragement, Ills college
career hod been a joyous time of suc
cessful preparation, this first business
position hut a stepping stone to a|
greater. When the "greater" was won
Jiiimiie felt bis future assured. Then,
10l His castles fell In ruins. Jim
mle's services were no longer required
Tbe great plant Which during the wai
had prospered was now reduced to
economic necessity, and Jlmmle, one!
of many satisfactory employees to be
dispensed with.
He was stunned by the unexpected- j
ness of It, as lie stood In the spring
sunshine.
But the prettiest girl thai he bad
ever seen sat on the seat toward his
rigid, among the bus passengers. Her
cheeks had caught the stinging caress
of the breeze, and her eyes were the
purply hue of the country violets she
wore. The girl's hat was not modish
ly new like those nbout her; it was
still evidently a winter hat, which had
weathered ninny storms.
Jlmmle saw the light of adventure
glow iii the girl's eyes, as she viewed
the great boats on the river. He noted
her wondering surprise, as they passed
the marble palaces of the rich. And
with every mile Jlmmle's observance
and Jlmmle's blissful interest grew,
until past misfortunes seemed of no
concern at all In face of this marvel
ous event of love at first sight.
Jlmmle had scoffed at the idea be
fore, Now his one overwhelming fear
was thai the girl should descend pres
ently those twisting bus stairs and be
lost to him forever. A man on the
seat beside him was obliged to nudge
him twice In order that he might pass.
Jimuiie nodded apologetically; he rec
ognized in the white-hatred man an
occasional companion at Ids favorite
restaurant table.
The man [usually hoarded this bus •
at the noon hour and sometimes again
at night. Jlmmle was desperate when '
he realized that the next stopping
place would be his own. For a mo
ment he was tempted to ignore Its
significance, but Mr. Brothers would j
lie in his ollice at 'bis hour, and it
was with Mr. Brothers thai Jlmmle
hoped to find employment. If he de- :
layed, the position offered might fall
to another.
Willi a sinking sense of loss Jlmmle
made his Wrfy to the office building
and entered an elevator. At the fifth
floor he stood, ascertaining his direc
tion.
Then, unbelievably, a girl came from
a later arrived elevator to breathless- ■
ly face him. It was the girl! Jlmmle
gasped. Her cheeks were [linker from
her haste and her eyes seemed bluer
in their earnestness. She thrust a
bill purse toward him.
"There!" she exclaimed, In the soft
sort of voice Jlmmle bad known she
should have, "is your purse. You
dropped it on the bus seat ; I followed
you all the way here."
Jimmle looked speechlessly down on j
the well-filled purse: absently he read
a tame on the Identification card
within.
"It isn't mine," he remarked dis
count glngly.
The girl stared; her bright satis
faction vanished.
"Then, whose?" she began,
Jlmmle came to himself with a Joy
ful start. Here was the one girl In
the world at his side. Here was a
glorious springtime afternoon before
them. Opportunity sometimes knocks
but once. Jimmle grasped his oppor
tunity.
"I think," he said, "that It probably j
belongs to the white-haired man who
sat beside me. He often takes dinner
nt night In the restaurant where 1 do.
If you'd let me take you there later, ;
nnd we could ride down on the bus on
our way, you might he able to restore \
to the man his property."
The girl hesitated. Frankly she
studied Jlmmle's face; then, evidently
assured, she smiled and a friendly dim
ple peeped forth.
"All right," she agreed. "You do
not need a recommendation as to hon
esty, nt least."
The white-haired man was seated
nt the restaurant table when two smil-
Ing young people abruptly joined him.
"We know this Is your purse," Jim
uiie greeted, "for the waiter lias told
us your name. But, perhaps, as a mat
ter of form you had hetter identify
the contents."
The rightful owner looked back
i|uestionii!gly from bis regained prop
ay.
"1 have inserted an ail In the 'Lost
Column' of this evening's paper," he
said "offering a reward for return of
the purse. May I hand that reward
to you now?"
"If you please," the pretty girl inter
posed. "We have learned, Mr. Ware, j
of you** great business Interests. Mr. i
James Brandon is anxious to find
worthy employment. Perhaps you j
could help nlm In that.*'
The white-haired man's shrewd eyes
regarded Jimmle.
"No doubt," he promised, "we may j
be able to come to an arrangement." j
He turned to the pretty girl. "And ;
you?"
*'I," she replied, "have Just come
in for the day from Unicorn's Corners."
"You will like Relcom's Corners."
she told Jiiiimie later. "When you
come out at the week's end, the lilacs
will all be in bloom.'
"You bet, 1 will," said Jimmle.
