A Catholic paper, called the Dio

by Catholics and for Catholics. 1t is
one of the most earnest periodicals
advocating the Amendment, and has
large circulation. That man casts
an undeserved reflection on the Cath.

are unit against prohibition. We

DOES 1T PROHIBIT {?
Well, Rather-Just Read This and
Judge for Yourself.

l.. AgMaynard, one of the editors
Of the New York Observer, has been
making a trip through Kansas to as.
certain whether the claims of the Pro-
hibitioDists that the law is success
are justified. He has written glowing
letters describing the great things that
prohibition has done for Kansas. Here
is an extract from one of his letters:
"The saloons all stop at the line
stop so short and quick too that it
almost tips some of them over. 1t is a
curious and suggestive sight, the way
the saloous stop at the line. 1t is a
good place to stop and study the TEN
perance question. On the Missouri
$1,000 year license side, the dram
shops swarm all the way over from the
Union depot, drawing closer and
closer as they approach the point
where the law says, Thus far shalt
thou go, but no farther And there
they stand close up TO the line, solid
row of them, in all their filth and
hideousness, their screened windows
aud their beer mug signs looking out
over the bottom lands on The Kansss
side with hungry and baleful eyes,
reminding one as much as anything of
a pack of raVenous beasts held here in
leash by some invisible hand. But
that assurance may be made doubly
sure to those who come and 90 over
the border, the last saloon of all in
the last row has up the sign, First
and Last Chance'-frst for those who
come and last for those who 60. Could
anything be more grimly and malevo.
lently suggestive than that sign ?-an
evil beckoning finger to the coming
victim, a desperate clutch upon the
one yet in the tolls. 1t was not many
years ago when the westward passage
over this line meant freedom for the
poor, hunted southern slave, and pow
it means for many freedom from
bondage a thousand times more gall.
ing than that of the earlier day."
Mr.. Maynard failed to see the signs
Of the "mauy towns" that the Phila.
delphia Record says have been "prae.
tically ruined" by prohibition. He
writes:
at is, indeed, truly wonderful when
you come to see it how easy it is for a
country to keep right along, pay its
debts and be cheerful without even a
cent Of revenue from the liquor traffic.
| have heard so much in the east about
the way that prohibition kills the
towns that | was quite prepared to
find lot of dead municipalities and
other things of that kind lying around
here on the Kansas prairies, but thus
far l haven't sighted a single corpse.
On the contrary, / have found an
amazing amount of life and vigor in
these villages and cities that ought to
be dead, according to the whisky logic
of the east, many of them growing SO
fast that it is as much as ever that the
mother government of the state can
do to keep them properly dressed up
in municipal clothes.

Once upon time there was q hand
some hen who pved like great lady in
the poultry yard, Of a rich farmer, sur
rounded by a numerous family which
clucked about her. and none Of which
olamored more loudly or picked up the
corn faster with his beak than q poor
little deformed and crippled chicken.
This was precisely the one that the
mother loved best. It is the way with
all mothers the weakest and most un-
slightly are always their favorites.
1his misshapen creature had but one
eye, one wing and one leg in good con-
dillon; it might have been thought that
Solomon had executed his memorable
sentence on Coquerico, for that was the
name Of the wretched chicken, and cut
him in two with his famous sword. When

armed, he may reasonably be expected to
be modest; but our Cast ilian ragamuifin
was prouder than his father, the best
spurred, most elegant, blavest and most
gallant cock to be seen from Burgos to
Madrid
He thought himself phoenix of grace
and beauty, and passed the best part of
the day in admiring himself in the brook.
If one of his brothers ran against him by
accident he abused him, called him en-
yious and jealous, and risked his only re-
naming eye in battle If the hens clucked
on seeing him he said 1t was to hide their
spite because he did not condescend to
look at them.
One day, when he was more puffed up
with vanity than usual, he resolved nc
longer to remain in such narrow sphere,
but go out into the world, where he
would be better appreciated.

of Spain; l am going to Rome to see the

Shade-hats were never more charming

Even for the beach are wide shapes made
of white or yellow lace. For garden par

both poetic and picturesque. Silk mus
lin hats rival those of lace and tulle for
sdltry summer wear. These are closely
shirred and trimmed with loops of null
or point d'esprit net, mingled with lace
coquilles. Black hats in Spanish fash

come from the back, and are Of sufficient
width to veil and envelop the throat
and sometimes the shoulders. These
are usually trimmed with red brier
roses, SALIVA blossoms, or scarlet lobelia
blooms. Wlde-brimmed Milan braids in
corn yellow, olive gray, and like fashion
able shades, appropriate for general
