 Afarmer who dwells mile out of Poque- tannock has just learned that appearances are deceitful. On trip to the village a few days ago he engaged and paid S1 for . bag of oysters in the shell, the seller agreeing to have them put up and left in front of his place of business so that the purchaser could pick them up on his way home later in the day and back them home. The oysters were put up all right and the bag leftin the place assigned, but during the day the oysterman's children, who had seenithe packing, amused themselves by playing at packing and selling oysters. They filled 8 big bag with stones, tied it neatly and when they got through with their sport left it not far from the bag of oysters. The farmer came along at even ing and of course got hold of the bag of stones. He Rhouldered it. with considera- ble difficulty and set of home; and he did not discover his mistake until he had reached his cellar and dumped the load of stones on the cellar bottom. Then he said some things Itrequired considerable explanation on the part of the oysterman subsequently, to make things look reasona- ble to the farmer. = C0oEey's WeekLu.

Does Prohibition Prohibirn

our Georgia contemporaries have been
trying the Maine experiment. ami are
nov full Of discussions As To the results.
Much Is SAID On both sides. and all sorts
of records and arguments are presented,
pro and con. We are all familiar with
the deductions drawn from Maine, hut
the statistics in Kansas seem TO prove
both sides in the right. If we may Judge
from the following taken from the Sao
vaunah lIpiUiyr Nc5r~.
with the view Of settling the question
of the result of Prohibition in Kansas. a
[ nicago paper. a few day ago, addressed
letters of inquiry to the probate Judges of
about all the counties in that state.
These officers are supposed to TIE well
posted about the results of the prohibition
law. because they administer it. An
swers have thus far been received from
about fifty counties, and the great ma
jority of them contain strong testimony
in support OF prohibition. In five of the
fifty counties the law is pronounced an
unqualified failure, and in ABOUT five
others II Is admitted that 1t is not en-
forced. although opinions are expressed
rather favorable Ia il. In all the Others
the ans wers show decrease in the use of
whisky ranging from fifty To seventy
per cent, and a decrease in crime grow
ing out OF the use of whisky of from fifty
To ninety per cent.
