MIR. EDITOR: I will undertake
to give a point or two on the much
hated (from certain quartor) dis
pensary law. 1 think all admit it
has caused less drinking. Though
1 have not a shadow of n doubt
that the bar mon sold more whis-
koy, on time, whom they closed
shop, than has been thus sold with
in any five years. TO got rs much
as possible in the way of the now
law many men, doubtless, took a
barrel on time. l do not believe a
man could afford to pay thous-
and dollar tax and do an honest
business, but would have to drug
or water his whisker. believe
that impure whiskoy will cause
more thirst for whiskcy than the
puro article. This, l suppose, The

Suppose you arc "a primary teacher
Do You realize what you must put into

with them during hours and for them
after school. You must bo ready to

You must BIO untiring in your vigil

gown. If you AFRO boys teacher, you
must BIO ready ut any moment to dress q

fight or give decision on the merits of
racers OF the ownership of marbles, fish

you can't meet these emergencies, the

Great stress has been laid upon the

directors decided it wise to declare the
usual rate OF dividend on the stock.
London sold another batch of stocks,
and this added to the feverishness which
characterized the trading in the railway

Sugar and Dissillers sold at even higher

reached the highest point touched since
the recent upward movement set in, and
sold at 114X
The general list after an early de-

the rise in Sugar and Distillers, but in
the afternoon drive was made against
the list on rumor that the President
had or wou d veto the German tariff bill.
