Chicago Tribune; Speaking of the en-
forCement of the prohibitory law in Kan
sas, Gov. Click said it was g great fail
ure. The liquor traffic" said he, has
become q 60 as you please affair. One
town which had forty saloons, yielding
an annual revenue of $40 ,0OO under high
license, now has 100 places where liquor
is sold, In another town, where the law
is apparently enforced, the express agent
told me 600 cases of beer were delivered
week, and in one day 100 five gallon
kegs of whiskcy were delivered. This
private drinking is one OF the sad effects
Of prohibition. In certain cities places
are licensed to sell lemonade, soda water,
and other drinks The records of these
cities show less number of persons con-
victed in the police courts for drunken
ness than.in towns where there IS not this
license or monthly tax. Another peculiar
fact is shown by these records. The
towns having the noisiest prohibitIonists,
which have become noted for it, have the
most convictions for drunkenness. In one
town, where prohibitionist who has
achieved some reputation as lecturer on
this subject resided, the receipts of liquor
by railroad had increased fourfold within
three years.
"Where the saloons are closed there is
an increaseds consumption of liquor.
Where they are not closed they are vastly
more numerous than under license, and
do not pay cent of revenue. A high IL
cense system will eradicate intemperance
more rapidly than any other means. o.
this l am convinced beyond q doubt by
the history of Kansas for the last tire,
years.

gave him pang to remember the time when
he had thought bis father and mother the
greatest people in the world He thought
Of how proud his father had always been OF
him, and now he recognized how little there
had been to be proud Of He remembered
how his mother had stood waiting for him
today; he remembered her dress and every
thing, and there flashed upon his mind
picture Of her as she must have been at
home carefully planning that simple dress
and patiently working ON it with her own
hands for many days to make it worthy of
him.
Two biz tears jumped into his eyes; he
made desperate swallow and siezad his

But they dill go in, AMI here was George
just ordering people around and getting his
mother seat, and when that was done he
pointed out the classmates that he had written

Then he saw her-waltzing like q fairy
with some one who had chosen her for the
figure Just the same as IN the old days,
only more maturely beautiful-golden hair,
cherry-lips peach-bloom choeks--only more
beautiful than ever. Her dress was soft,
glilnmering white watered satin, AMI as she
stood for moment under the gas jets, timid
pearls threw little swinging shadows on her
cheeks.
George watched her as kind father might
have done and gave her tender, good wish
for every step Of her flying fee. peace be in
her true AMI gentle heart He watched her
through the figure and while she was going to
her seat, and it made his own heart SO full that
thore was no place in it for surprise when he
saw that her seat was with Lyman. So Dora
