useless, for a day or two before his book

About High License.

1t is to be regretted that many extreme
prohibitionists are opposed to high license
laws in places where it is impossible to
secure or enforce absolute prohibition.
The liquor question should be handled
in a common sense, practical manner, and
par1ial benefits should not be rejected be-
cause all that reformers ask for cannot be
at once obtained. Hence, the question
can best be solved under local option
laws and by the strict regulation OF the
traffic in liquor by the State and municipal
authorities. There are few who will deny
that prohibition is best tor community
where public sentiment is such as to
cause the law to be enforced, but next to
prohibition high license and strict control
of the traffic is far better than no license
or low license, and non-enforcement of
the liquor laws. The MORNING News
had occasion some time ago to comment
on the effects of high license in some of
the Western States. Not only were
the number Of drinking establishments
greatly decreased under its operations,
but the amount of revenue derived from
licenses was very materially increased.
The more disreputable groegeries were
nearly always the first to close up, and
there has been invariably an improvement
in the good order of the cities in which
high license is adopted.
1t is not difficult to enforce high license
laws. or course the better class of saloon
keepers pay the license, and they gener-
ally see TO it that the law is enforced
against delinquents; besides, there are
not so many saloons as under low license
for officials to watch, and it is by no
means easy to avoid paying the licenses
or to escape the penalties tor not doing 50.

 When the professor was brought into court, the judge exclaimed
 My goodness, this is Professor Bog glesonw
 "Yes your honor.'
 "How came you hereS"
 The professor related his experience. The policeman came forward and made his statement. He spoke of the profes- sor's confusion and did not fail to lay peculiar emphasis on the fact that the learned gentleman had attempted to bribe him. The judge was assounded. His duty as an upright judge and especially his recollection of the fact that the profes- sor had not voted for him, compelled him to hold the founder of college of which, the newspapers said, the state should feel proud. The report was soon spread about that the professor was no other than the notorious Chicken. thief Dan and that he was caught in the act of stealing a shanghai rooster from Baptist minister. Of course the professor was soon re- leased, but his reputation was blasted He hurried to the college but the students were gone. A board over the library door, bore this inscription: "The pres. ident of this institution has just stepped out to steal chicken"

FRONT.

There Is one type of Arkansawyes who forms sudden and strong attachments, and who sometimes, after meeting a man once, afterward refers to him as his friend. Nelson Boyle, of Polk county is a man of this type. Several days ago he came to Little Rock, having been sum moned as a witness before the United States court. He had never attempted d to live high, and as he expressed 1t, de- cided ts go to hotel and live like pet fox. He sosn took fancy to the clerk Why he took this fancy would be hard to say. On one or two occasions during the three days visit of MT. Boyle, the clerk leaned over from his lofty pedestal of dignity and spoke to him. This assured Mir. Boyle that his friendship for the clerk was returned. When his busin ess with the court was settled, MT. Boyle went down to bid the clerk goodbye. He thought of something appropriate to say and employed his entire stock of warm words in framing a form of invita- ton, which he knew would induce the clerk to visit him in the close future.
 "Wall, colonel" said Mir. Boyle as he laid one hand on the register, "I must leave you. am sorry"

 "I am sorry to break a."
