THE PROHIBITION QUESTION.
Mr.. Editor:

Mr. Editor:
I see that the cause of prohibit
ton is attracting much attention in
our midst, but your correspondents
in reviewing the evils of allowing
whisky to be sold, overlook one
very vital point, viz: the danger to
which the youth of the country is
exposed. How many boys would
be saved from drunkard's grave
were the temptation not thrust upon
them. When he begins he is en-
Outraged in it;-the cold sinners"
think it very funny to see James or
Sam tight. and the poor victim
thinks that he has achieved world
wide reputation, that he has accom-
plished great things. This is when
he begins. But they very soon tire
Of him, and begin to talk to him,
asking him to change his ways, and
eventually let him go altogether,
avoiding him as they would ser
pent, and if told that they had en-
couraged him, would be shocked
they firmly believe they have work
ed hard to keep him from it. This
is one of the greatest evils that we
submit-this thing of making new
drunkards, for if no new ones were
added to the list the evil would soon
correct itself. As things are now,
no mother in the land can feel sure
that the babe which she holds upon
her lap, the bright growing little
being, that was taken by our Lord
to represent His kingdom above,
that He held up to us as an emblem
Of purity, and warned us against
ever offending one of them, will not
fill a drunkmd's grave-sent there,
mayhap, by the gallows. Mothers,
wives and daughters of the land,
let me say one word to you. Have
you no influence owes your hus-
bands, sons and brothers ? Can you
induce them to help clear the land
of the curse that has such strong
grip upon ita Can you not induce
them to work for Prohibition mot
just go to the polls and vote and
then 60 home, but go out among
their fellow-men and work, con-
vince some poor unbeliever that
you are right, and induce him to
vote with You. Hunt up those who
are too indifferent to leave home,
land bring them out and vote them
for Prohibition. Such is the work
that woman can do. And the girls,
they can do more; they can control
at least one vote. Let him love
whisky ever so we'll, smile Or a
frown from his dulcina will settle
the question; and if he is doubt
full character. j. e. cannot be trust.
ed, go to the polls with him and see
that he does his duty.
Let us say to all those who, from
selfish motives, wish to keep whis-
ky in our midst, that we propose to
govern this part Of the country !;
that we will not longer submit to
being ruled by a class of people
who have no God but whisky, and
if they cannot make living in any
other way, let them leave. Vote

RIVER NEWs.-For the "a hours
ending yesterday morning at s
o'clock, the Government Observer
here reports rise in the river of
1o3 inches; at that hour the Guage
reading was 1920 making it So
feet 4 inches above low water Of
1881, 3 feet 81 inches below high
water of 1866.
Having received kilograms from
Shreveport yesterday, that the. river
at that point was falling, as far up
as Fulton, Mayor McGimsey very
sensibly concluded to not start
working the levees near Town. To
prevent danger however, he had a
guard stationed on the river front
on Thursday and last night. lie
yesterday said that he thought (pro-
vided the rains held up) the river
here would be on a stand by this
afternoon, and accordingly was ma
king the necessary preparations.
The fears hereabouts are not as
grave as they were a day or two
back.

III is now very evident to

His name was Captain Ralph Dever-
eux, but everybody called HIM "Old
Forty" The reason for this was that
he was always using this numeral in
describing any event that occurred.
"forty,' there were forty" boys came
out of the school house and fired snow
balls at his old horse, the wind bowed
like forty" his cowbide boots
pinched like forty" and he had
torty' pains IN his old rheumatic
back when he got up in the morning.
Nobody around Prospect called him
anything else, and at last all his ami.
mails, from slubtailed, yellow dog to
his ugly old horse with watch eye
received the same title. One day a
few young lads hired this horse to go
toan evening party. The sum charged
was 81, and the boys went around to
the country stores and bought up all
the fashioned coppers they could
find. They succeeded in getting 200
at last and sewed them up in bags of
forty each and gave them to the old
man in payment. He took the money,
but said he wouldn't let his horse
again for forty" years. His friends
tried to break him of his habit and
resorted to all sorts OF devices, but
they had no effect. One night he
attended the distribution of presents
from Christmas tree. The only
token he received was an illustrated
copy of ALI Bahia and the Forty
Thieves"
II don't see what they wanted to
give me that for" unused he; I've
got as many as forty books at home
now"
He weptto town meeting one rainy
day and caught cold which termi
mated in pneumonia, For several
days he lay delirious, tossing and
moaning and calling for water al the
time. When his right lung had filled
up solid, and but small space WAS
left in the other one, his fever abated
| little and he recognized those around
the bed.
Here, father, take this medicine"
said his daughter, "the doctor has
| ordered it and l know it will do you
good"
Throwing his hand out on the bed
with an impatient gesture, he looked
up and said:
"Go away, child, and don't bother
me. Forty doctors couldn't help me
now"
He died that night and forty car.
riages followed him to the grave
Boston Globe.

Tho Kings Wink.

One Of Canute's attendants, a youth,
recently arrived at court, and DESTROYS
of establishing himself in the good
graces OF his master. inquired OF an
old official how he could best attain
the object of his ambition.
Nothing easier" maliciously re-
piled the other; you have only to
initiate him in everything. and you
are certain to please him."
The novice took the hint. and remark.
ing that the King bad habit of con.
stantly wipking, resolved to lose no
time in following his example; and
was no sooner admitted into the royal
presence than he began to wink so
persistently that 1t attracted the atten-
ticn of the monarch, who asked him If
he were afflicted with ophthalmia.
No, SIRE" he answered., not in the
least; only wink because your mnjes.
ty winks, and thought TO please you
by doing the same"
You have pleased me without
knowing it," said the King, to the
establishment of the courtiers, who
stood aghast at the young mans pre-.
sumption. "by curing me, l trust, of a
bad habit into which | had uncon.
Bciously fallen; but remember that in
the future you will please me more by
