V THE BRAND-NEW BIBLE Samuel G. Blythe is the author of a story called "On the Water Wagon." Ttvo or three months after the story | appeared in book form, a man Who had been an habitual drunkard went to a priest to take the temperance pledge. After tho pledge had been adminis tered, the priest said: "Now, I'm going to give you a little hook to read. I want you to read something in it every day. It's not a part of the Bible, but it's a fine book. I call it the Drunkard's Bible." He then handed the man who want ed to reform a copy of Blythe's book, explaining: "This is a fine piece of work. I give it to a good many people. It should hold you steadfast in your purpose to reform." Some weeks later a friend met Blythe on the street and told him about the Drunkard's Bible, thinking that the author would be greatly pleased. "Who was the man who wanted to reform?" asked Blythe. The friend told him. "Oh, that rummy!" exclaimed Blythe. "He's been drunk for the last ten dayr."—The Popular Magazine. Business Locals KILL THE ARMY WORM Wo have the stuff that does the trick.

Attractive Interior at Majestic It is at the Majestio Theater where the patrons will see the elaborate changes. The interior will look like new.

The shades throughout will be on the style of the New York theaters. The lobbies at the Majestic are being reconstructed and will be lighter and more attractive.
