HIGH LlCENsE CHICAG0
How 1t Has Decreased saloons ana
Largely Increased the KeYenne.


How Ii HAS Decreased saloons ana
Largely Increased the Revenue.
From the New York Evening Post
Asystematic effort has been made recently
by the advocates of prohibition to show that
the high license law in Chicago has not PROV
ed success. They have claimed that while
ut first the law did reduce the number of "a
looms, il has not been able TO keep them down,
and that there has been during the past year
large increase both in saloons and in the
evils which flow from them. We have taken
the trouble to obtain the official statistics
upon the question, and find that they do not
sustain the charge OF the Prohibtionisls. The
present high license law of Illinois went into
operation in 1883. 1t levied license of $500
on all full liquor saloons, and of $3.50 for all
beer and wine saloons, it being optional for
any city, town or village to raise the fec to
any limit it chose, or 10 make it $500 torall
kinds OF saloons. 1t was made uniformly
$500 in Chicago after one years trial. The
old law put the fee at $52 and under it, with
a population Of 100000, Chicago had 1919
licensed saloons in 1882, ard 900 more which
were selling without license. We give Le-
low the official statistics of saloons and re-
c"ipts from them, taken from the books of
the city collector of Chicago, from the year
1881 to the close of last year:

Something About Bathing


Tepid water is preferable for every season
of the year. Milk baths have been in favor
from time immemorial with ladies, and moth
ing is better than daily hot bath of milk.
Nine. Tallien was among the historical women
who bathed in milk, TO which she added
crushed strawberries to give it an agreeable
perfume. have also heard of an old lady
of eighty, who retained grlish complexion
like cream and roses by always washing in
the juice of crushed strawberries and moth
ing else. But we can, fortunately, keep our
skins healthy and fair without resorting to
these extreme meaures.
For full-length bath bag of bran will
soften the water and make the skin delicious
ly smooth and fair; but let me here remark
that no bath is perfect in its results without
the long and brisk friction of hands or q
coarse towel atterward. Friction not only
stimulates circulation, but it makes the flesh
firm and polished like Parian marble. II is
sometimes astonishing TO see the change
made in an ugly skin by friction, and any
lady who wishes 10 possess healthful body,
firm to the touch and fair to the eye, with
elasticity ofyouth well prolonged into age,
must give willingly of her strength TO the
daily task of rubbing the body thoroughly.

OWNERSHIP.

Old Farmer Boggs, OF Doggy Brook.
Went to the county fair,
And with his wife he strolled around
10 see the wonders there.
That horse" he said, Gray Eagle Wing,
viii take the highest prize;
But our old Dobbin looks as well
And better to my eyes.
lie is, know. what folks call slow;
It's far the safest way TO go;
Some men, perhaps. might think 1t strange
really should not like to change.
And those fat oxen. Buck and Bright
Don't have so large girth,
Nor match like them, just to hair,
But know what they's worth.
They are good to pillow, and good to draw,
You stronger pullers never saw,
And always mind my gee and 'baw'
Some folks, perhaps, might think 1t strange,
really shouldn't want to change"
That Deven hotter cost, heard,
thousand dollars" Now"
Said Mrs. Boggs, my Crumple Horn
Is Just as good COW;
Her milk I'm sure's the very best,
Her butter is the yellowest;
some folks. perhaps, might think it strange,
! really shouldn't want TO change"
Those premium hogs, said Mrs. Boggs,
MY little Cheshire pig
Is better than the best OF them,
Although he's not so big.
And that young Jersey is not half
so pretty as old Brindle's calf
Nor is there in the poultry pen
AS specSled Wings SO good a hen!"
As Farmer Boggs to Bo1gy Brook
Rode homeward from the fair,
lie said: II wish my animals
Had all of them been there
And If the judges had been wise
might nave taken every prize!'

An AstOnisled Husband.

A near-sighted man, who lives not far
from Kingston, N. Y, had never worn or
looked through pair of glasses until short
time ago. One day pedder called, and,
among other things, he offered eyeglasses
for sale. He persuaded the man to "try on"
apair. After the farmer had adjusted the
glasses, he looked at objects in the room with
establishment. Finally his eyes rested upon
his wife. He took long look at her, and
then exclaimed:
Jane, Jane, l never would have married
you if / had known that you were so heme-

An Old Tramp's Tears.

A very dirty and booty old tramp was
shiyering on one of the seats in Washington
park, and yet watching with smile ofstupid
pleasure beautifully dressed little girl who
was trundling hoop near by AT last he rose
and approached the dainty little maid, saying,
"How dye do, my dear?" She ran away in
fright, and tears came to the eyes of the bat
tered old wretch, called up, perhaps, by some
touching remembrance. Two young swells
in passing tossed him some coppers, with the
remark, "See the old rascal cry" The tramp
Strengthened up, flung the aims on the walk
with a savage gesture and growled out !:
"There's more in those tears ye cursed tail
or's blocks, than'll ever be shed over your

How many of US hear the expression q

in the throat of at least half of them. 1t is

A customer returns pair of shoes, soied

A church member puts down Lis name for
