1t is obvious, therefore, that the manner of en-
forcing the provisions OF This amendment will
depend upon the character Of the privilege or

can prohibition in the nature Of things, be en-
forced until it Is violatedl Laws NAV Dc passed

but they can have no application until it occurs.
On the other hand. when the provision is vio-

A BOY FOR A DOG.
A Funny but Sad Swap" in Milwaukee

One Of the funniest-and vet in some
aspects the saddest-of swaps" is re
corded in the Milwaukee papers as having
occurred in that city last week A Ger
nIan woman had a bright little son of
eight years old, whom she made drag a
small wagon loaded with her wares around
the strsets. The boy was scarcely strong
enough for the work, aud his mother
coveted big dog Now another woman
n the house had big dog and no little
boy, so the German proposed to sell her
son for the doy and ten dollars, event
ually coming down to the dog and FIVE
dollars, at which the swap was made
But the dog was hungry dog, and when
kept on short allowance was not so quiet
and patient as little Heinrich, but beca N
obstreperous and savage Then the Ger
man mother was filled with affection for
her little son on the next fat and clamored
to trade back. She waited her dear little
Heinrich, who didn't eat so much as the
big brute of dog and didn't bite aud
tear around and break things when he
was whipped. But the other party to
the trade insisted that a bargain is bar
gain, and that anyhow she was well
content with her part of it. Little
Heinrich too, lad no desire to be
reswapPed for a dog. His new owner
liked him, fed him we'll and pcttad him !;
things to which he had been wholly
unaseustomed. The German mother
made dive for Heinrich Tother vo-
man made dive for the German mother
Little Heinrich and the dog slipped out
into the street together, and when a
passing policeman stepped in to investi
gate matters he found the two women so
mixed up on the floor that it was difficult
to distinguish what was German mother
and what was brevet mother. At latest
adyices nothing had been accomplished
in the way of trading back, and for little
Heinrich's sake it is to be hoped the
swap will stick.

found out too.
who was this man, and where is he
now?
Only few months ago they laid him in
a grave in Massachusetts, with reverent
hands and loving hearts.
I wonder If any one thought when his
casket was covered IN velvet, soft and
white, of the whittier SHOWS and the crystal
walls that held him so many days and
nights during his patient watch amid Gods
mighty mountains. Need ! tell you that
this mans name was Louis Agassiz?
What he found out in the two summers
was that the great masses OF ice that lie on
Alpine and other high mountain sides and
valleys are, in reality, frozen rivers (called
glaciers), and that slowly, surely, they
move down. carrying with them whatever
mass of earth or rock has fallen from the
mountains into the bed they occupy. So
YOU see Hugi's hut was moving all the
| time, and Agassiz was constantly journey
ing down the glacier during two summers.
From the patient watching of many men
it has been found out that once upon a
time a large part of the solid land
whereon men now live was covered many
| feet deep with just such frozen rivers as
are now seen in Switzerland. They have
left large rocks along the way that wise
men still point out as showing whore the
great frozen rivers slowly rolled along.

Poison Rerries,

There are so many temptations for little
folks to eat berries by the roadside that
they need close watching to save them from
those that are poisonous Children some
times seem to have morbid craving for
anything green. To cure them from this
diseased taste they should have an album
dant supply of ripe and wholesome fruit
and vegetables. Nurses should be warned
that deadly seeds and berries are within
reach of their little charges. Not only
children but grown persons are quite fond
of biting the stems of grass blooms end
blades. Perhaps most persons have had
some experience of the difficulty of cough.

OHILDREN's DEPARTMENT
A Travelling Hut.
By SOLOMON NOBODY.

By SOLOMON NOBODY.
Nearly fftv years ago man named
Hugl built hut in the very queerest place
in all the world. 1t wasn't much of
house, 1t is true, that is, you would not
have thought it a nice place in which to
live. Maybe it had but one room in it.
Upon the whole, am sure it had not, tor
it was only stones piled together to form
hut, and it was built upon the ice amid
great blocks of crystal whiteness; and ice
and house together were high up on q
mountain slope, far above the region where
sensible, home-loving men build their habi-
tations.
Hugh did not live there very long, but,
three years after he had built il, he went up
to take look, and 10 the hut was not in
the place he had left it. There was the ice
just the same, not melted one bit, and
there fast in the ice, were the huge boul-
der stones close beside the entrance to his
cold habltation.
II built this hut up there" said Hugh,
pointing to part of the mountain about as
far from the place where he found it, as
the length of the longest steamboat that
you have ever seen, land how did it come
down here?"
"Ah !" do you say nothing easier in
the world; somebody has gone up there
and moved it." Do you think so?
Well Hugh was puzzled | confess, but
he left it and went away for three more
years, and then he went away to find his
hut had moved again. II was another
steamboat length farther down still.
You don't believe now, do you, that any
body had taken the trouble to.move. Hugi's
hut the second time?
In 1910, two men, one of whom was enc
Of fbp 1naract kyispGt c,,plc hot
ever the mountains saw, or the bright eyed
warm hearted girl and boy in America to
love, went in quest of the stone hut that
llngi built.
Lo it had moved again, and this time il
was found more than half mile from the
place where it was at the beginning.
The ice was all about in fact it was too
high up for the ice to think of such a thing
rs melting, and the man whom | want you
to love, said 'Now, ! am going to stay
here and watch this wonderful thing" So
he chose spot to live IN, that would have
frightened any ordinary man. 1t was about
third of mile above Hugi's hut, and on
and under an immense rock, or rather two
rocks, with wide flat tops, something like a
table. In fact it was a bit like two tables,
one set upon the other. Under the upper
table very rude dwelling was built. The
kitchen was under one corner of the rock,
and the bedroom, to prevent its occupant
from freezing, was followed out in the ice
underneath the rock In an ice
chamber, with made of rocks, softened q
bit by the hay thrown over them, this won
derful, patient man slept.
He did not live in this place, which he
named Hotel DIES Neuchatelois, few days
at time, but two entire summers, to find
