Captain Billy Winters returned from

with a string of mallards, aud in the

his friends, Henry Jones and Charley
Bates, of Mermud, Jaccard & Co., each
a fine brace. The boys took them
down to the store, and pending the
close Of the days business hung the
game up in cool place in the base
ment. The more they thought about
those ducks the better they felt over
the coming dinner. About noon two
other gentlemen of the house got leave
of absence from Mr.. King, and slipping
to the Union Market bought four Of the
oldest and most onnery looking hell
drivers they could find. Indeed, the
flavor was so strong they hard
ly got back to the store. However,
heroic resolve supported them, and
they at last replaced the strings of
Jones and Bates with the Union Mar

Does Prohibition Prohibit

A Boston letter says: IL was my for
tune on cold winter night, to be going
from one Massachusetts town to auoth-
er. whore / was to take late train to
Boston. The,.istance was some twelve
miles, and in an open sleigh, with the
mercury at zero, wraps were unavailing
to prevent a chill. I occurred to me
that something hot" might diminish
the chances OF congelation, and men,
toned the idea to my driver. We were
entering a beautiful little town, all
white i'm the moonlight, every body APP
parently in bed, as it was late. He
very coolly told me that not drop of
liquor could be had In that town. /
knew by the tone of his voice that he
was lying in his throat, at the root OF
his lungs, and in . few moments he
drove up to what had been a tavern,
before which stood a sign post, with a
projecting arm, like a gibbet, from
when the sign had been removed. On
entering. late as it was, we found sew
eral gentlemen i'm one room discussing
some grave matter, and in the other
several seated quietly around the office
stove. In the corner where the old
time bar had stood, a sleepy clerk lolled
behind railing, as if waiting to shut
up. Wy uIiNcf WuisptEtu SOuuc CdDai-
istic word to him when we were admit
ted by wicket gate, and then, by a
tight fitting door through closet
where parcels and drivers coats and
whips had been kept in the old time,
we found ourselves in long corridor
Going to the farthest extremity of this,
our guide opened with a key a door
leading to the cellar, at the foot of
which was a barrIcade of barrels which
extended back, seemingly, the whole
distance We had come. There was a
gleam of light from lantern dimly
burning, and, following our conductor,
we passed around the further end of the
barricade, finding ourselves i'm a wider
cellar, traversing which we came To a
door that our guide opened with key,
and there, i'm an atmosphere thick with
tobacco smoke, were dozen men silent
ly bathing their souls i'm the "rosy"
right bereath the grave citizens up
stairs, who were perhaps discussing
the question of intemperance and con-
graduating themselves on the towns
having got rid of the "rum traffic."

ton did the driver great good.
