MR.. DAVIS WANTS FAIR PLAY,
He Says His Arrest for Excise Vio-
lation Was Illegal.

To me Editor:
Believing that the American love OF fair
play can iind room In your columns, take this
means to right myself In the eyes OF the pub

should make such request OF you who have
been so unsparing In your denunciation OF a
character heretofore unblemished. 1t Is In.
deed hard matter TO be placed In position
from which one cannot readily cxtriCate ones
self. by this mean to call your attention
TO my most unjust arrest Oh Saturday night
the 9th Inst. Your paper has stated the
charge as made In court by Onicer OConnor
AS follows: That the place (Excsc Exchange
was In full blast ut IL. 10 O'Clock, the alleged
time OF my arrest. The fact OF the matter
is that the of1icer came IN at Il.3O
o'clock and ordered beer, which I served
The oniccr remained standing at the bar
TIL ll.50 O'Clock. IL was then that asked
the timoOf NY bartender (who was not on
duty at the tirne), and who replied :" Ten
minutes to twelve" on hearing the reply !
at once said, " Close the place" Simultane-
ously with my order came these words from
the oflicer: " Give me another beer and take
one YOURSELF" which did. and which ! had u
legal right TO do, since It was not II O'clock

a martyr by any means, but, being an
honest man, mean to have my rights In
spite Of the fact that justice Is a hard thing
to get when The public mind has been In
famed by persecution such as rarely falls to
the lot OF any man who deserves II less than

II was after o'clock in the afternoon and
too late for any OF the indicted men to obtain

TIE LOCKED DOOR.

Two friends once closed between them, mu-
tually,
a door with double locks, one on each side:
With separate keys, fashioned with cunning
art.
Sure of himself, strong in fresh wounded pride,
Each, for his own side only, held the key.
And thus for weary weeks they dwelt apart,
Till one, at last, whose dropping tears had
drowned
The fire of wrath that in his bosom burned,
Full of forgiveness, softly stole and turned
The key; then sought to ope the door, but
found
The other lock still fast, still locked the doori
Then the old anger leaped to sudden flame,
And, laying on his friends hard heart the
blame,
He shot again theb and turned once more
To nurse, in bitterness, the reopened wound.
That night the other thought of olden days,
And meltGd in the memory; they seemed
So nearer than arrangements later hours,
That of the quarrel he thought he must have
dreamed,
And so unlocked the door; yet all his powers
Failed still to shake it. Then he muttered.
Fool,
To think that stubborn churl would e'er re-
pent!''
And socketward again the bolt he sent
And thus before the first friends wrath could
cool,
The others heart grew hard again and kept
The bar between them while they walked or
slept
But one calm eve both waken from dream
Of what has been, SO clear forthshadowing, too,
The golden prophecy of what may be:
Each rises, and in the moonhght's softened
CLEAN.
Resolves to try again all he can do.
Once more before the barrier he stands;
And as, again, slowly each iron key
Rasps in the rusted wards, an answering sound
Comes from the other side. The great door
flies
Open and leaves the old friends. newly found,
Lovingly looking in each others eyes,
With reunited hearts and firm clasped hands.

To be a true follower of
Hahnemann and obtain the best
results in using Homeopathic Re-
NEEDLES, several things must be
| considered.
In the first place, the Medicine
must be fresh. While few months
will not impair the medicinal pro-
perties of Homeopathic Remedies
yet it is evident that with age it
value as a medicine will have de-
preciated.
Secondly-Homoe0pathic Rene
dies must have proper care. Being
very sensitive to light and atmos-
pheric changes, they must be pro-
tected from strong lights and damp
air.
That they should be kept separate
from odors of strong and powerful
| drugs, must not be ignored.
When these precautions have been
complied with, Homeopathic Re-
NEEDLES will have a fair chance in
combating diseases.
