Passing of Daniel Sully
Daniel J. Sully has passed out of the picture.
Twenty-seven years ago his name was a household
word. He was a dominating and colorful figure In
the cotton markets of the world. He won and lost
millions in a day s trading. He made three million
dollara In a single deal In cotton. He lost the mil-
lions and then he was a victim of the bankruptcy
court. He was the pal of John W. Oates. Born in
Rhode Island he became a Southern Idol while his
cotton plunging was on.
“Wall Street got him.”
Then he turned his attention to soap making and
accumulated another fortune. He was 73 when the
man with the scythe cut him down. In his colorful
days when he was known as one of the most daring
plungers in the cotton world he was a fast traveler.
Soap making may be gambling but it Is not colorful
gambling. When he changed occupations he lost the
center of the stage and the newspaper reportorial and
kodak hounds lost Interest in him.
These spectacular chaps come and go like the
leaves on the trees in the forest. Now cotton is in the
dumps again Just as It was when Daniel J. cornered
the market and was hailed as "the savior of the
South.”
High Cost of Government
All people who pay tajces should be Interested In the
cost of government. Since 1913. according to a finan-
cial exchange national wealth and national Income
have doubled while governmental expenditures in the
same period have quadrupled. All government taxes
collected in the United States are now $13000000000
per annum and are increasing at the rate of $500000-
000 a year. Cost of government to the average family
is now $460 a year and one out of every* 11 persons
is a political employe of some branch of government
with a strong tendency upward. A material factor
in the cost of living Is the heavy tax mulct "and In
every line no small part cf the margin between what
producer receives and the consumer pays Is due to
the ever-mounting burden of taxes." Freight Payer
Jones isn't in the saddle. He walks whilst he pays
the freight.
Standard Buys Sinclair Pipe Lines
Henry P. Sinclair continues In the picture of pe-
troleum and the petroleum world. He was handed a
check for $72500000 by the head of the Standard of
Indiana for a one-half Interest In the Sinclair Pipe
Line company and the Sinclair Crude Oil Purchasing
company. Now the Standard of Indiana has full title
es it already owned the other one-half interest In
each company. Will Sinclair retire? Hardly. He has
other interests vast Interests in the petroleum field 1
of the world. Is there money In petroleum? Well
Jet the former drug clerk of Jackson county Missouri j
r.nswer that questionaire. He has had his ups and
downs but Just at present he appears to be riding
'he crest of the golden wave.
Splendid Publicity for a Circus
Rangers were ordered to Shamrock to prevent the
holding of a circus on Sunday. The circus manager
bowed to the law and public opinion He had re-
ceived the neatest volume of advertising In the
Southwest that his • greatest on earth' had been
given since the Initial performance In early spring-
time. Every circus cloud has a golden lining. Pub-
licity Is the thing. Advertising sells the goods
Printer's Ink Is a world beater.
MIDGET GOLF A LA LONGFELLOW
Under & spreading chestnut tree
The Tom Thumb golf course stands.
The oaf a busy man is he
With corns upon his hands.
And he’s wrong about the putting grip
And wrong the way he stands.
• # • •
His stance is bad. his form is worse
His lace is seamed by care
His brow is wet with honest sweat
He has a vacant stare
He putts a little ball around—
And it goes most everywhere.
• • • •
Week in week out by day and night
You can hear his language flow
As he gives the pellet tap by tap
With backs wing crude and slow
And he groans r.s he beholds It roll
To the place it shouldn't go.
• • • •
And children coming home from school
Look in thru the picket fence;
They love to see him miss a putt
And note his pose so tense
And catch the burning words that fly
Like sparks from a blaze Immense.
• • • •
He goes on Sunday to the church.
And as the parson prays
He thinks of holes-in-one he missed
And thinks of certain ways
To go around the course in par
And win a little praise.
• • • •
He thinks about the se\enth hole
The one that’s a cushion shot:
He needs must think of his last score—
It was a twelve he got-
He thinks how he took up the game
And wishes he had not!
• • • •
Toiling rejoicing sorrowing.
Onward through life he goes—
A victim of this midget golf
With all its bitter woes;
No matter how he dubs around.
Its hold upon him grows
• a • •
Thanks thanks to thee my goofy friend
For a lesson strong and true!
Great nuts from little courses grow
And they make a funny crew;
Do you think I play the damphool game?
You can betcher life I do!

would be married.
- She is lonely and ill at ease in
the new home. Mrs. Thomas Mitch-
ell. her aristocratic grandmother
criticizes t?ie girl and outlines
training for her social career
Mitchell finds Celia in tears. Later
that evening he calls a telephone
number and says 'Evelyn I must
see you."
Now Go On With The Story
CHAPTER XV
Evelyn Parsons' boudoir was like
a turqoise jewel box in which the
owner's ivory and golden beauty
was set off as craftily as the jewel-
er designs settings for rare gems.
Mrs. Parsons was sitting at the
dressing table inspecting the clasp
of a strand of pearls.
■‘Here Rose will you faster
these?*’
The maid fastened the pearls
about a throat which under lamp
light failed to show a trace of age
The Jewels hung half way to Eve-
lyn Parsons' waist. They were per-
fect evenly matched pearls and
as Mrs. Parsons was well aware
harmnized with her blond color-
ing and added delicacy to her
mature charms.
"That’s all now. Rase.”
The maid disappeared. Evelyr I
Parsons drew the stopper from r
heavy via! of perfume. It war
heavy perfume too—spicy exotic
and sophisticated. Mrs. Parson*
touched her ear lebes. her lips and
finger tips with the scent.
Then she stood and surveyed
herself in the mirror. She smiled
at the familiar reflection apprals
ing and evidently satisfied with
each detail.
Evelyn Parsons was 42 years old
No one would have guessed her
over 3a.
She was a rather small woman
She had a rounded prettiness of
face and figure and no ore ex- I
cept Evelyn herself knew what it I
ccst to keep down that fatal hip
line to the measurement it which
It stayed. Constant diet exercises
expensive massage.
It was her golden hair though
that was always mentioned when
acquaintances spoke of "that pret-
ty Mrs. Parsons.”
Tonight the gleaming tressc
which defied time were drawn back
into a low knot. Her shoulders
and arms were creamy white.
There were chin lines and tiny
criss-cross wrinkles about her blue
eyes which worried Mrs. Parsons
but the electric glow concealed
them.
Evelyn Parsons who had been
beautiful at Iff. could still turn
heads in any public gathering
place.
Her smile persisted It was r
shrewd smile reserved for those
strictly private occasions when
Evelyn and the reflection In her
mirror communed together. Gen-
erally at such times there was :
man in the offing.
• • •
She was dressed In black chiffon
It was a simple frock so far as
ornamentation goes. Judared by line
and effect it was pure Paris. The
skirt appearing to be the slimmest
possible covering about the hips
flared to mysterious bell-like pro-
portions before it reached the
floor. The bodice seemingly no
lower than other evening gowns
conveyed Implications all the mnrr
marked because of the frock’s de-
mure design.
Evelyn had bought the dress in
the French capital nor had she
regretted one cent of its outra-
geous price.-She was a woman with
"dress sense.1*
Now she touched the side of the
gown lightly as a woman will un-
able to resist giving a final pat to
that which is already perfect. She
took up her mirror inspecting the
flawless ruby of her lips.
It was not deference to the mem-
ory of Dwight Parsons in his grave
eight months which had persuad-
ed Evelyn to put on the black
gown even though the conservative
element of society which she was
always careful to consider would
have approved the choice. Evelyn
chose the black dress as she select-
ed her perfume.
Officially she was mourning her
husband. Privately that mourning
had ceased months back. The
widow attractive and worldly wise
had returned to New York from
six months on the continent bring-
ing a splendid wardrobe and defi-
nite plans for acquiring Husband
Number Two. Dwight Parsons had
been satisfactory enough though
never really rich. Blond beauty
semetimes fades swiftly and Mrs.
Parsons saw the future through
shrewd eyes.
Dwight had been a boyhood
rier.d of John Mitchell. The Par-
ens heme was one of the few at
which Mitchell called regularly
vhenever he visited the metropolis
during his long years of residence
In Chicago.
Serenely Evelyn Parsons smiled
as she touched a flame to her cig-
aret and gazed off across the ho-
rizon from an opened window.
The apartment was high up.
cool even on a sultry evening. Eve-
lyn called it a “small place” but
she lived alone with her maid.
Rcxe. and two Pekingese dogs She
was dividing her time between the
apartment in town and a comfort-
able house on Long Island because
of disagreeable detai’s concerning
Dwight's estate involved in what
seemed interminable legal tangles.
Evelyn consulted a clock. Nearly
nine! Mitchell should be there
any moment.
• • •
She tanped th® ash from her ctg- |
ar®t absently. She was no longer 1
smiling. Evelyn Parsons' lipp form- j
cd a firm line and her eyes grew
calculating her beauty disappeared j
Pike the purring feline Evelyn's
s'eek. silkv exterior concealed claws.
Two soPlv shaded lamps Illumi-
nated the living room. Evelyn was
standing beside the central win-
dow in a pose she know was be-
coming. She considered then with-
drew to a low divan. She had re-
membered that the lighting there
would be more flattering.
Rose entered the room carrying
\ tr \ and glasses.
"Put them here—on the coffee
able." Evelyn Instructed. "And
br.n? that box of cigarets will
you?”
Making a man comfort abl® was
to Evelyn Parsons the first lesson
n entertaining. She was always
verv careful about this.
The bell rang.
There was scarcely time for Mrs j
Parsons to turn tier head and
shoulders to the proper angle to
assume the exact degree of cordi-
ality In her smile before Rose
ushe.ed in the guest.
"Welcome. John Mitchell'"
The weynan came forward with
outstretched hand.
"Good evening Good o fyou to
’ct me come Evelyn.”
"Nonsense. "I'm so awfully glad
to see you! Here in this hot city—
how on earth do you men stand
't? I mean staying here and work-
ing in offices. It's a treat to have
•on come and talk to me.”
"T hope vou weren't going out?”
"When I have the opportunity of
staving here and chatting? No.
indeed!”
"But you were going!”
“Now John: Of course I'm not.
I've—postponed the engagement It
was nothing that I wanted to do.
’•''ally I'm awfully fortunate to be
able to get out of It.”
She leaned forward hands held
together smiling guilelesly.
Mitchell’s face was serious
"Well. It’s a big favor to me. and
T enoreciate It. I'm up against a
| problem—well to tell you the truth
I don’t know what to do. Tonight
I felt that I needed to talk to some
1 new"YORK 1

NEW YORK. Oct. 6 —Our own
Who s Who and What's What m
New York—
Not so many years ago. Mile
Texas Gulnan the big “little hand
giver was told that she never
again could light up anybody s
door in this man s town.
She packed up her lipstick and
started for Chicago reluming with
a headache and a notion for a
summer roadhouse. Another head-
ache! Time has gone strolling by.
And Police Commissioner Whalen
who said New York had seen the
last of Texas is out. And Texas is
back in They mention Wha!en in
the past tense and they talk about
Tex in the present.
All of which goes to prove some-
thing or other about what you can
believe in these parts.
Meanwhile changes have come
over night clubbery. And the fickle
moths who chase the late lights
have drifted elsewhere. The sort of
conglomerate crowd that once
"played" Guinan's now gathers
around the hearthside of a resort
called The Abbey. Here the gossip
seekers paragraph hunters and the
infinitive splitters of Broadway
gather at ringside and listen in-
tently for the slightest hint of
“dirt".
They leap at the dropping of a
gag which unlike the well-known
pin can generally be heard across
the room. What the new Guinan
fortunes will be may depend to
some extent upon circumstances
and the market. By winter she may
again be back on her old pedestal.
Or again—at any rate sneaking
merely for myself. I'm a bit tired
of her particular brand of enter-
tainment.
• * •
And while speaking of quips that
pass in the night—the rivalry be-
tween Will Osborne and Rndv
Vollee has been marked bv another
gesture of defiance on the part of
the Osborne contingent.
For years Rudy has had his own
supper resort titled the Villa Val-
lee. Within a short time Osborne
will be functioning as host at his
own resort and not so many blocks
lrom the Vallee croonery.
• • •
Miriam Hopkins one of the
prettier and fresher of the Broad-
way children is another name
movie audiences had best start
getting used to. Miriam left her
post as a good Greek in “Lysistra-
ta” to double over on Long Island
in the film production of “The
Best Poeple.” And the Paramount
folk thought so well of her that
they trotted out the dear old dotted
line and a pen.
As I get it Miriam—like Ruth
Chattcrton. Kay Francis. Ann Har-
ding and a lot of others—will dis-
apjiear for a time from the foot-
lights and the film boys and girls
will have another new name to re-
member.
• • •
And speaking of film things
theres a play in town called
“Once in a Lifetime” which takes
Hollywood for a hay ride. One of
the leading characters is a com-
posite type of all the Hollywood
magnates that ever have been car-
tooned. A playwright—played by
George Kaufman who wrote it—Is
given an opportunity to kick over
the traces and inquire just how
sappy the magnates happen to be.
On the opening night after ad-
vance whispering had gone about
such film domos as Jesse Lasky.
Adolph Zuker and some of the Waf-
ners were to be found in the house.
And every lesser official who could
scare up the price came to get a
large laugh at the expense of the
bosses. I am told that 8am Harris
who produced it may find himself
in an argument with et least one of
the millionaire film-makers o*er
one of the more heated outbursts
against dear old Hollywood

one. You were the only one I
cou!d think of who would under-
stand—’
“Then I'm glad you came!"
Mitchell moved impatiently. Be-
fore he could continue. Mrs. Par-
sons poured a beverage into a glass
half filled with ice. She held It
toward him
“You'll have some?'1 she asked
sweetly. “It’ll make you feel cooler."
The man took the glass drank
deeply.
The Interruption had been nicely
timed. Mitchell surveyed his host-
ess.
“Jove but you look cool! How
do you manage it?"
Silvery laughter was the answer
Something more than laughter
spoke from Evelyn Parsons' eyes
but she was quick to avert them
She had decided it was high time
her appearance won attention.
“Never mind mv looks. John.”
the woman said quickly. "I want
to hear what this is that is both-
ering you."
“Well I'll have to tell you a
story.” Mitchell put down the
empty glass. “Mind if I smoke?"
“Do. by all means! ’
“I think you knew." the mar
went on slowly “years ago abou’
my—marriage. I was in Chicago
Met my wife out there. We didn’4
come home because of—parental
disapproval That was at first
After four years we were divorced
You remember?”
Evelyn nodded.
“I guess you didn t know though
that there was a child. She's al-
ways been with—her mother. Seem-
ed to be the place for a girl. Mar-
garet wanted her. of course and
I didn’t contest. Had no place t-
take her anyhow'. She’s here Ir
New' York now."
He did not hesitate at her slight
exclamation.
"Yes she’s here at my mother’'
house. Been here three days. I
want to do—well what a fathei
i should for her. Evelyn! I’ve got
the money. I want to give her her
chance. You see she’s never really
had anything—’’
“How old is she?"
“She’ll be 18 next month. Celia s
her name. Of course she’s gone to
school and her mother did every-
thing she could. I guess—”
“Has her mother — married
again?" Mrs Parsons asked
Mitchell shook his head. The

she said nothing.
"I’m telling you the whole thing
so you'll understand.'* the man
continued. "Mother was opposed
to the whole plan at first. I had
to talk her Into it. You see Eve-
lyn-well. you see. when a man I
gets to be my age he feels differ- J

“The poor dear!” Mrs Parsons'
voice was honeyed softness. “You
were right to come to me. John
Now here's what we ll do—”
It was an hour and a half later
that the door of Mrs Parsons'
apartment closed behind John
Mitchell.
In the turqoise boudoir Evelyn
Parsons laid aside her pearls. "It's
going to be easy!” she whispered
exultantly. "Easy!"
