The Power to Prohibit,

When q legislature says that OH Ger
tam conditions man shall be authorized
to sell Intoxicating liquors, and that un-
less he meets those conditions he shall
not have the right to do it, the leeisla-
turc by that act assumes the right to
prohibit the sale of liquors.; for if its
prescribed conditions are such that no
ono will accept them, prohibition be-
comes fact, if the law is enforced; and
whether it is enforced or not, the lepis-
laturc has recognized the principle and
has assumed prohibitory power. It does
the same whom it enactS that no person
shall sell intoxicating drinks as q bever-
age from II o'clock midnight until six
o'clock in the morning. If for the pub.
llc good, and because the public interest
IS promoted by it, law can be made to
close the saloons part of the time, for
tho same reason law could be made to
close them all the time. If to promote
this public good it is right to restrict the
business, 1t is right, for the public good,
TO annlhllate business. This is what law
IS Tor, and it is not only its legitimate
junction, 1t is its solemn duty as well to
abate nulsances, to put an end to crime.
@nd at al possible points to protect So
clcty. There is no more reason to
"N'S toi1O VI illC BOfCInulCuU W
forbid the sale of Intoxicating liquors as
beverages than to question its right to
folOid arson and murder. 1t has as
much right to close saloons as it has to
close gambling dons ard houses Of pros
titution. Having the right to prohibit
for an hour, it has tho right to prohibit
forever. Legislation which already ex-
lists assumes all the constitutional power
necessary to mako prohibition fact,
and what we need now is not more legis-
lativo function, but a public opinion
which vii! demand the necessary legisla-
ton and the enforcement of the law.
| The vO!nr is the power behind the throre
in this country. The Iawmakcr listens
for the voice of his constituents, and the
executive oti"er does the same thing,
and Il the voice is sufficiently Imperative

enough, but when it thunders it is usual,

Ben Butler And Father Ryan.

The late poet priest of the South fire.
quently told the following anecdote of
bis stay in New Orleans: Tt was during
the war when Gen. Butler was in charge
of the city. A Catholic soldier in the
Union forces there died, and because
some one blundered no religious rites
were observed at the funeral. It was re.
ported to Butler that Father Ryan had
refused to read the burial service. In
towering rage Butler sent for the priest
and in the most peremptory and offensive
way demanded why he was not given all
the honors of the church to the deceased.
Father Ryan quietly explained the mat.
ter, showing that he was not to blame
that the fault was due to the comrades of
the dead soldier, and added: "It is,
therefore, not true that refused to bury
him. 1t is also not true / have publicly
and repeatedly refused to oficiate at the
funeral of any Federal soldier or officer.
On the contrary, it is the reverse of the
truth, for, general, it would give me great
pleasure to bury the whole lot of you 7"
Buffers stern face relaxed into grim
smile, and from that day he and Father
Ryan had no further trouble in common.

True Business Principles.

tits as easy to be a rich man as a poor
one. Halfthe energy displayed i'll keep.
ing ahead that is required to catch up
when behind would save credit, give
more time to attend to business, and add
to the profit and reputation of those who
work for gain. Honor your engage
ments. Ifyou promise to meet man or
to do o certain thing certain moment,
be ready at the appointed time. If you
20 on business, attend promptly to mat
ters on hand, then as promptly go about
your own business.
Do not stop to tell stories in business
hours.
If you have place of business be
found there when wanted. No man can
get rich by sitting around stores. Never
fool on business matters. Have order,
system, regularity, liberality, promptness.
Do not meddle with business you know
nothing of. Never buy an article you
do not need, simply because it is cheap
and the man who sells it will take it out
in trade. Trade is money. Strive to
avoid harsh words and personalities. Do
not kick every stone in the path more
miles can be made in day by going
steadily on than by stopping to kick.
Pay as you 60. A man of honor respects
his word as he does his bond. Aid, but
never beg. Help others when you eau,
but never give what you cannot afford to,
simply because it is fashionable. Learn
to say "no." No necessity for swapping
it out in dog. fashion, but say it firmly
and respectfully. Have but few confd-
ants, and the fewer the better. Use your
own brains rather than those of others.
Learn to think and act for yourself. BE
vigilant. Keep ahead rather than behind
time.
Young man, cut this out if there be
folly in the argument, let US know.

Sublime self.sacriflce.

AZ the siege of Turin, in 1706, the
French had obtained possession of one of
the subterraneous galleries which com.
municated with the citadel. Hoping by
this means to make themselves masters
of the citadel they had secretly posted in
the gallery party of 200 grenadiers. a
Piedmontese peasant named Micha, who
had been forced to serve as a pioneer, and
who had been made corporal, was at
work on mine near the spot with twenty
men. Hearing the French overhead, and
convinced that if they remained mo.
ment longer masters of the gallery the
fortress would be lost, he determined to
sacrifice his own life to save the place.
He Immediately sent away his comrades,
desiring them to let him know by the
discharge of a musket when they were
out of reach of danger. As soon as he
heard the signal he put the match to the
mine and blew himself up along with 200
grenadiers. The king of Sardinia re.
warded his wife and children, whom at
the moment of his death, Micha had
recommended to his care, and he likewise
settled pension on the whole of his
family,

How. it Feels to be Hanged.


Theodore Baker, of Santa Fe, New
Mexico, has been through an almost un-
precedented experience. He killed a
man named Unrow, and was in Jail for
the crime. One night recently masked
men hanged him and, after fifteen min
utes had elapsed, left him as dead. In
several hours he was restored to life.
He says: -.

door I began to curse them, when one of
them put the muzzle OF his pistol to my
ear and said: Keep still, or I'll put

big slipnoose. They led me under the

to die with my boots on, but before l

Learning a Horse to Pace.

To teach horse to pace, take 8 or 10
pounds of lead, divide in four parts,
equal to 81 inches by AZ in size; make
two holes in each end of these leads,
fasten two of them together aud have
them padded. Then fasten them on the
horses legs, one on each hind leg, just
above the ankle joint. Ride your horse
briskly with those weights upon his
ankles, at the sane time pulling each
rein of the bride alternately. BY this
means you Immediately throw him into q
pace. After you have in this way trained
him to some extent, change your leaden

By adopting this plan you will speedily

by the most distinguished medical men
of Paris, as we'll as the prominent citi-

ers, assuring them that he would leave
behind three physicians much greater
than himself. Each of the doctors, hop.
ing that his own name would be called,
inquired anxiously who was sufficiently
illustrious to surpass the immortal Des.
moulins. With great distinctness the
dying man answered: "They are Water,
Exercise and Diet. Call in the services
of the first freely, of the second regularly,
and of the third moderately. Follow this
advice and you may dispense with my aid.

and dying I shall not be missed if you
