The law ought to show on the face of it,
according to his opinion, not only that
it is not solely or mainly for the pur-
pose of revenue, but that revenue is no
part of the object of it. This, he
thinks, is important, not only to silence
cavilS. but to prevent honest misconcep-
lions in the public mind, which has
been so belabored and bewildered these
many years by the sophistries of the
prohibitionists. Cleared of this incum-
brance, the LIQUOR license law would
stand forth unimpeachable as a salu-
tary police measure for the protection
of society from the abuses of the liquor
traffic.
DIR. BACoN's premises are. that it is
not the liquor traffic itself, but its
abuses which injure society. There
fore society is interested in perfecting a
system to prevent the abuses. The pre-
yailing system of mixing a question of
public order and morals up with the
question of revenue only complexities
the matter, and the higher the license
fee is fixed the more complicated it be-
comes. Elk the license fee at $1,000"
he says, land you do more to counte-
nance the mischievous and demoraliz-
ing pretenSe OF rum sellers and prohibi-
tloniStS-that a license law is simply a
edvice for extracting blood money
from criminals for the public treas
ury-than you can do by any other
method, unless it is by fixing the
fee at two thousand. The wise and sta
bic enactment, and the righteous exc
cution of license laws depend on reso-
lutely, persistently refusing to tolerate
this falsehood.' The plan suggested
by DR.. BACON as the correct one for
controlling the liquor traffic is to estab-
fish licensing boards, composed of men
of well-lnown integrity, with authority
to issue licenses to only such persons
as are known to possess such discre-
ton and fidelity that they may be
trusted with necessary but dangerous
business. The license should be free,
except the payment of a small fee by
the applicant sufficient to cover the eX-
penSeS of the license board. He then
suggests that the line of inquiry that
should be taken up by the board when
an applicant appears before them should
be as follows: What are the Qualifca-
tons which you consider yourself to
possess for this trust for which you
apply? Give an account of yourself.
What are your antecedents? Have you
had experience in this business before?
If so, who were your neighbors and who
were your customers? Can you bring a
recommendation from the policemen
and from the local magistrate to the
effect that license issued to you would
be blessing to the neighbOrhoOd? This
he thinks is better procedure than the
existing one, where the license court
proceeds upon the theory that liquor
license is the inalienable right OF every
man that can pay the 81 900 fee.

Miss Mollie Green, an attractiveyonng
lady of eighteen, who teaches school on
Cypress creek, in Perry county, Tenn,
was the heroine in a thrilling-scene.
Her father, Robert Green. lives across
the Tennessee river, in Hickman county.
The little log school-houSe was quiet and
the children busy with their lessons,
when a shaggy dog. foaming at the
mouth. swapping and biting, dashed in
at the door and made toward one of the
children. The brave little woman
thought only of the children i'll her care,
and springing between them and the in

andby the aid of heavy rule kept it at
bay until all the children had fled. The
Infatuated animal repeatedly sprang a.
her throat, but she was agile and reso
lutely held her ground. When all the
little ones were gone she desperately
fought off the dog until she reached the
door, which she pulled to after her and
fell fainting outside. The children in
the meantime ran to the nearest homes,
an eighth of mile distant, and gave the
alarm, Two men soon came and killed
the dog, which had been terrorizing the
neighborhood for some days. The
grateful parents of the children took up
subscription and gave the young woman
fine Saddle-horSe. Her clothes were
literally torn to ribbons during her
severe encounter.

Adjt. Gen. Nothing has been

disposition of the
U. S. A. Crow captives at Fort
Smelling, although it
has been stated that those left al the
fort were to be sent to Carlisle, Pa.
Two of the prisoners, The BANK and
EES-wITH-HIS-EARS,w were set at liberty
were returned to the Crow reservation
These Indians, it was shown, were
drawn into the recent trouble, and since
their Imprisonment they became very
much subdued and tractable. They
were members of the band over which
PLENTY Coos" preSideS, and the old
chief, who has always been good friend
of the whites, announced his willing
ness to become responsible Tor their
future good behavior. Accordingly they
were sent back to him. and the chances
are that Imprisonment has had Salu-
tary and lasting effect upon them.
At the time of the trouble on the
Grow reservation PLENTY Coos
whose counselS have always been heed
ed by the Indians, was absent on nunt-
ing expedition, and SWORD BEARER
and others of that class were thus given
full sway. AS soon as old "COOS" re-
turned he set about arranging matters
on an amicable basis between his peo-
pie and the whites, and, as a reward for
his efforts, he was enabled to persuade
the government to return two of the
warriors to their families. This action
by the authorities will have good
effect upon the Indians now on the
Crow reservation, and be an incentive
to PLENTY Coos" to make his band re-
main on good terms with the whites.

The following story is told of Gen. Harvey.
when he was in command at Camp Verde Tex
He was an intensely dgnified officer. and if
there was one thing he deteSted more than an
other it was uudlgnI1ed haste. One evening,
Just as be was about to hold dress parade, he
perceived that he had forgotten his handker-
chef, and as the weather was very hot, he said
to his orderly:
60 to, my quarters, quick, and bring my
handkerchief. ~
The orderly touched his cap. and started for
the quarters, several hundred yards distant.
Numbering that there was no time to lose, he
broke into trot
See that scoundrel running as IL the
Indians we're after him. If there is anything
hate it is to see soldier running instead of
marching properly. Here, my man" continued
Harvey to another soldier, go after that man
and tell him to walk, - him
The second soldier started after the first but
as the first kept on running, the second one saw
his only chance to deliver the message was to
hurry up, so he, too, broke into a run To say
that Harvey Swore is to use mild expression.
Here, Sergeant, go after that man and tell
him if he don't stop running l II hang him up by
the thumbs"
The Sergeant started out on brisk walk, but
as his predecessor had good start he, too be-
gan to run hard as he could
IF all the three scoundres amt running like
jack rabbits calculated Harvey I'm show
em," and tuckinx his sword under his arm he
started ia pursuit as fast as he could rum but
suddenly remembering his dignity he came to a
halt, and walked stfly back TO the place where
the dress parade was to come Off
