give CHASTITY tinge to a coiorlesS COM
B.exion. With a roy blonde it is a success.

A new and novel method of dealing with the liquor question is proposed by a member of the Min nesota Legislature, who has intro duced bill, which makes it a criminal offence to sell liquor to any one addicted to using intoxi- eating liquors, who is not licensed to purchase 1t. The bill makes it a misdemeanor, punishable by fine or imprisonment, or both, to sell intoxicating liquors to any person, who drinks to excess, unless he presents license authorizing him to drink the liquor which he desires to purchase.

From the New Yovk Graphic.
 "The Old Folks at Home" was written by Foster, who received $15,000 for it in the way of copy right and sales.
 America" was written by Rev Samuel Francis Smith in 1882 ,and was first sung ln Boston on the Fourth of July of that year.
 "Columbia, the Gem of the Ocean," was written by Thomas a'Becket, an English actor, who, in 1879, was a teacher of music at Philadelphia.
 The tune of "John Browns Body is Lying in the Grave,"i is of Meth odist camp meeting origin. It was adapted to its present use by an organist in Harvard Church in 1861.
 "Woodman Spare that Tree" was written by George P. Morris, because the purchaser of friends estate wanted to cut down tree which his grandfather had plant ed. His friend paid the buyer S10 to save it. Morris was touched by the story and wrote the song.
 For Kathleen Mavourneen," Couch, the author, received S25 for its production, and afterward became begging tramp, while his publisher could have built a brown stone front out of its sales.
 ''The Star-Spangled Banner" was written by Francis Scott Key, while watching the bombardment of Fort Henry, in 1914. The song was printed in the Baltimore Amerlcan eight days after the bat tie, under the title of ''The De- fense of Fort McHenry."
 "Home, Sweet Home" was writ ten for an opera by John Howard Payne. It was first sung in the Covent Garden Theater at Lon don, and made a big hit. One hun dred thousand copies were sold the first year, and by the end of the second its publishers had cleared $10,000 from it.
