THE RESULTS OF PROHIBITION IN
KANSAS.

Governor Martin, of Kansas, in
his last message to the legislature,
says: "Fully nine-tenths of the
drinking and drunkenness preva-
lent in Kansas eight years ago have.
been abolished, and | affirm with
earnestness and emphasis that this
state is today the most temperate,
orderly, sober community Of people
in the civilized world. The aboli-
ton of the saloons has not only
promoted the personal happiness
AMI general prosperity of our citi-
zens, but it has enormously dimin-
ished crime, filled thousands of
homes, where vice and want and
wrechedness once prevailed, with
peace, plenty and contentment, and
has materially increased the trade
and business of those engaged in
the sale of useful and wholesome
articles of merchandise. Notwith-
standing the fact that the popula
ton Of the state is steadily increas-
ing, the number of criminals con-
fined in our penitentiary is steadily
decreasing. Many of our jails are
empty, and all show marked fall
ing off in the number of prisoners
confined. The dockets of our courts
are no longer burdened with long
lists of criminal cases. In the CAPT.
tai district, containing a population
of nearly 10000, not single crlmi-
nal case was ON the docket when
the present term began. The bust
ness of the police courts of our
larger cities has dwindled to one
fourth of its former proportions,
while in cities of the second and
third class, the occupation of the
police authorities is practically
gone"

AN UNFORTUNATE MISTAKE.

A laughable but embarrassing
case of mistaken identity occurred
here the other day in one of Boston s
largest retail stores. A gentleman
who is little too fond of joking,
entered the store tor the purpose of
meeting his wife at a certain count
er. Sure enough there stood a lady
dressed, to his eye, at least, just
like the woman he was after.
Her back was turned, and no one
was near her, so he quietly approach
ed, took her by the arm and said in
voice of simulated severity: "Well,
here you are, spending my money
as usual, eh?'
The face turned quickly toward
him was not his wite's; it was that of
an acrid, angry, keen-eyed wo-
man of apout so years, who at
tracted the attention of every body
in that part of the store by saying,
in a lound, shrill voice:
''No, Iain'tspending your money
or no other mans money, and Pll-
81 beg your pardon, madam, %
cried the confused gentleman. Il
supposed you were my wife,
and ="
"Well, just amt your wife, nor
no other mans wife, thank fortune,
to be jawed at every time | buy a
yard of ribbon! | pity your wife if
you go round shaking her like you
did me. If | was her I'd /"
The chagrlned joke waite d to
hear no more, but made his way out
of the shop amid the filters and sly
chuckles of those who had witness
ed his confusion. Youths Com

A SNAKE DRINKING LIQUOR

A Georgian who lately returned
from Hamilton, Marion county, Ala,
relates the following: "Owen Hatch
keeps small grocery store in that
neighborhood. Mr.. Hatch sells IL
quor as well as family groceries.
Keeping only a small stock of liquor
on hand he Keeps most OF it in jugs.
One day last week two. gallon jug
OF corn liquor was standing Oh the
floor behind the counter. Mr..
Hatch stepped behind the counter
and was surprised to see black
snake coiled around the jug with its
head inside. He watched it for a
moment and soon discovered that
the snake was drinking liquor. 1t
was not disturbed, and after several
minutes it slowly uncoiled itself and
attempted to crawl away, but was
too drunk, and stretched itself out
on the floor, apparently asleep, until
next day. Mr.. Hatch examined the
jug, and found that the snake had
drank more than a quart of liquor.
Two days later the same snake re-
turned; and when it crawled under
the counter Mr.. Hath watched it.
By coiling itself around the jug and
giving its neck twist around the
stopper, it was able to remove the
cork, and again thrust its head in
side and began to drink its fill again,
after which it was killed"

The Sparta Ishmelite delivers the
following short sermon, which is to
the point: 'Bad behavior in church
is an evidence neither of gentility
nor of intelligence. 1t is, however,
proof of a want of self-respect and
OF common decency. Any fool may
sit in the seat of the scorner, but it
takes an uncommon one to meet
all the demands of disgusting clown
ishness in church during religious

THERE are turfmen who believe
that Proctor Knott, the three-year-
old son of Luke Blackburn and Tai
lapoosa, is today the best race horse
on earth. His victories in the
Junior Champion and Futurity
stakes last year made him the most
famous of American two-year-olds,
and he comes out this season in a
form which convinces his admirers
that, barring accidents, the great
hre-year-old stakes are at his mercy.
He ran in the two thousand sweep
stakes at Nashville last Thursday
and showed remarkable speed
though he was held back to allow
his stable companion, Come-to-Taw
to win. Sam Bryant paid s416 fol-
Proctor Knott when he was year
ling, and the purses he won las
year amounted to 81, 900. He may
do even better this year. The
danger is that he will share thu
fate of most of the great race horses
this country has produced-the fat
of being broken down by excessiv,
work.

"THE LAST DAYS OF POMPEII.v
Mariettians Will Attend the Grand
Spectacular Performance.


Quite a number of Mariettans
contemplate attending the great
spectacle, "Last Days of Pompeii,
to be presented in Atlanta May %.
The immense audiences that wit
ness the presentation of Pompeii
are always impressed by the grand
eur of this display and startling eff
fects produced. The New York
Herald says the largest and most
enthusiastic audience who were
present at the "Last Days of Pom
peii" at Manhattan Beach we're al
most appalled, by che grandeur of
the display and the startling effects
produced. The spectators cannot
but imagine that they are witness
ing the festival that took place at
Pompeii and the destruction OF the
city.
Between 400 and 800 people take
part in the scenes and games, and
the interest increases as the per-
Torrance goes on. The programme
opens with a procession, and in
cludes Egyptian soldiers, with their
arms, standards and musical instru-
ments, slaves holding inscriptions
and banners, dancing girls, priests
robed in white, and other people,
all handsomely dressed, who march
and countermarch, making an in
terestiag and exciting scene. After
this comes the games, including
foot racing by the boys, quot
throwing, drill by the Roman
soldiers, boxing, thread wire walk
ing, juggling, balancing and tumb-
ling. The grand climax is reached
Immediately after the games, when
the eruption of Mount Vesuvius
takes place, followed by the total
destruction of the city. The sight
is indeed startling and realistic
the volcano sending forth fire and
smoke, the flaming lava running
down the mountain side, the falling
columns of the temple, and the peo-
pie running to and fro, shrieking
and crying, all of this must be seen
to be fully appreciated, tor it can
hardly be described. After the de-
struction of the city, the perfor-
nance ends with brilliant display
of fire works of all kinds.
The music is especially arranged
and comp cset by ?. S. Gilmore,
and performed by the military band.

Swiss House and Stable.

Samaden is splendid place to study
the type of the Engadine house. with it's
green caves, iron balconies and profusion
of interior woodwork. Most houses are
built of stone, with walls as thick as those
of a fortress, and narrow windows that
resemble the portfolios Of old Fort Lafay-
cite, in New York harbor The home,
stable and barn form the same building,
and all the folks and animals live under
the same roof in winter time A large
door opens Oh a spacious vestibule, big
enough for wagon loaded with hay to
pass into the barn at the back. The main
room is generally paneled with wood
which acquires rich, dark color with age,
and in this room are the two most valu-
able pieces Of furniture, an enormous
stone or tiled stove and colossal ward
robe. Behind the stove a narrow stair
way leads to the sleeping room above. In
winter the stable is, Of course, for cows
and horses. but In summer time it forms
a spare room where visitors are received
and bedded The kitchen is small, but
has large, open fireplace, over which
hang links Of sausages and sides of bacon.
The modern houses in Samaden are built
on quite a different plan, and have no such
fortesslike appearance as those of more
ancient architecture. | should say,
though, that even they lack fresh air
and ventilation. New York Times.

There are many ways of marking

OF them. If you wish to refer only to a
passage draw bit of pencil line along
the edge, and then set down the number
of the page on fly leaf. So when you
are through with volume you look at
the fly leaf and refer to the pages where
there are points of Importance, and you
can use them as you please. But, alas, II
