 Prohibition means to prohibit the manufacture. importation and sale of intoxicating beverages.
 Reasons for prohibition:
 l. "A license jaw never can stop in temperance, however well enforced. Prohibition can" It is not intended y the license law to stop intemper. ance. Those who put it forth pro, pose no such thing. It's effect is tc perpetuate intemperance.
 2. The legal statute is the standard of right among the masses, not the moral code. If it is legalized, to tha masses it is made right. The edusa i've effect Of license law is ali on the wrong side. Prohibit the traffic, take government sanction away from vice. md the people will be educated to prohibition. It is not meet to make
  an exception of this sum of evils iu 'ur various prohibitory statutes.
 3. Total abstinence is beyond de, ate the wisest practice for the indi vidual. Mory of the most successful ,aloonkeepers are total abstainers; ant many others will not employ bar. keeper unless he Is an abstainer. They acknowledge it as the safe and wisest rule, The laws of hygiene es, tablish the same. It is no longer matter of controversy. Prohibition is imply the adoption by government of he rule of total abstinence as the best for its people. It is now the self imposed law Gf millions. And it were no tyranny to make the law volun tarily self-imposed, under the demand of common sense and personal ethics, by many, the law of government for all: but, instead. emancipation for some, from a tyranny which Is inexor. able.
 I. Prohibition is the legitimate ex- ,.rcise of the moral power of the state, for the welfare of its citizens, and no ionger for the safeguarding of a gigan tic system Of vice.
 5. Prohibition IS the only form of legislation adapted to the suppression If crime. The alcoholic traffic is public crime, by which crimes of all other classes with which OUT laws have to deal are greatly multiplied and aggravated.

O iections to license:

o jections to license:
 1. 1t is a restriction of traders, but not of the trade. It conveys special privileges to the license, but does not limit the traffic.
 ?. It legalizes boundless iniquity. 1t takes away from it the condemns ton of the community, and eli trenches it in it's own profits. The community becomes sbarer in the .uilt and in the moral insensibility which guilt produces
 3. For the sake of the personal lib. srty" of the thinker it enslaves and legrades the many.

How They Got Rich.

When L talk to a man who has made
fortune by advertising, I wonder that
anybody who has anything to sell does
not go and do likewise. One man told
me day Or two ago that his concern,
with nominal capital of 100000,
only $3O,0O0 of which was paid in, has
divided in single year among three
partners profits to the amount of $780,,
900, and that exclusive of salaries of
$780,, and $25, 900 drawn by two
members of the firm. Ten or twelve
years ago this man was drug clerk on
small salary in western town and is
now one of the millionaires of New
York. without advertising I might
have made living" he said, "but it
was advertising that made me rich, and
advertising very simple commodity at
that. "
Another man, who bears similar tes-
timony, tells me that his concern, which
began by investing $40, 900 year in ad-
vertising, increased the amount every
year according to their increase Of bust
ness, and this year expects to spend ST.
900, 900. Still another, who confined
himself entirely to the newspapers and
magazines in the exploitation of his
speciality, never having touched dead
wall, fence or the broad side of barn
with poster or paintbrush, and never
employing salesman, has cool mil
lion sailed down in real estate, keeps
his yacht and spends most of the year
abroad in 11IyrriOnS 7ivino

Patent rights have just been granted
to young inventor in st. Paul for i'm
provements on the typewriting machine
which will greatly increase it's speed
The improvements consist Of the intro
duction Of the stenographic principle,
making the machine capable of printing
whole words at single strokes of the
keys. Many of the small words and
word endings which are most frequent
ly used are represented in the new ma
chine by separate keys of their own, and
by a clever device the spacing is made
to correspond automatically with the
length of the words thus set apart. An
other time saving device is the two
space lever, which enables the operator
to form the space between the words
with the same stroke which makes the
last letter of a word. An automatic spa.
Ger, used to print tables of figures and
similar work, is also added to perfect
the equipment of the new typewriter
The inventor claims that the speed to be
attained by the use of these devices is
much greater than has yet been secured
Next he proposes to introduce electricity
as the motive power III the manipula
ton Of all the mechanical parts. leaving
it necessary for the operator only to
press | chtly on the keys to PRINT whole
words with great rapldlty New York

The supreme court was dumfounded.
The prince flew into terrible rage and
ordered them to act.

The outcome was it was decided they
should offer the prisoner a pension of
600 francs year to live in another

OF A LIKENESS KEPT IN A BOOK

Let thy likeness be
In the book most opened,
Thus with all dear thoughts
Making itself common.
Dearest face to me
Of all the dear dead faces,
The spiritual graces
OF men and minds that were,
OF faces bright and sparkling
That still must somewhere shine,
Even as here thou shinest
In this face of thine.

He then preferred the same request to
the Italian government. A king, a
brother in royalty, would doubtless not
prove such hard bargainer as republic.
The Italian government sent minute
of expenses which amounted to 10, 900
francs.
Twelve thousand francs Why, it
would be necessary to impose new
tax, tax Of 2 francs head on the in
habitants. That would be enough to
stir up unknown troubles in the state.
He contemplated decapitating the
ruffian by an ordinary soldier. But the
general, on being consulted, was doubt
full whether any of his men had had
sufficient sword practice to acquit them
selves satisfactorily of a task demand
ing great experience in handling the
weapon.
So the prince again convened the su-
preme court and submitted to them this
embarrassing position Of affairs.
The court sat long time without
discovering any practical solution. At
Last the president suggested committing
the death sentence into one of imprison-
ment for life, and the suggestion was
adopted.
But they had no prison. It was neces-
sary to improvise one. A jailer was also
commissioned who took charge of the
prisoner.
For six months everything went we'll.
The convict slept all day on a mattress
in his hut, and his guard did the same
on a chair just inside the door facing
the passersby.
But the prince is econOmical-it is his
least fault-and requires the details of
the smallest expenditures incurred
throughout his dominiOns. Among these
were placed before him the items of the
disbursements relating to the creation
of a new office, the maintenance Of the
prison, prisoner and jailer. The outlay
on the last was heavy drain Oh the
royal purse.
His face heightened visib1y, and when
he considered it might last forever, for
the condemned man was still young, he
insisted on his minister Of justice taking
measures to suppress this expense.
The minister held consultation with
the president of the tribunal, and the
two agreed that the office of jailer might
be abolished. The prisoner, required to
guard himself all alone, would not fail
to escape, and this would solve the
question to the satisfaction of all.
The jailer was thereupon sent back to
his family, and one of the under cooks
of the palace was simply required to
carry, morning and evening, food to the
prisoner. But that gentleman made no
attempt to recover his liberty.
One day indeed when they had failed
to provide him with nourishment he
coolly presented himself to claim it, and
henceforth it was his custom, in order
to save the cook journey, to come at
meal hours and eat with the servants Of
the palace, with whom he had become
friendly.
After breakfast he would take stroll
as far as Monte Carlo. Occasionally he
would enter the Casino and risk few
francs at play. When he won, he would
treat himself to good dinner at one Of
the leading hotels, then he would re-
turn to his prison and carefully lock the
door from the inside.
He never slept out a single night.
The situation was becoming difficult,
not for the condemned man, but for his
judges.

He had killed her without reason,

was making trip to some of the small
islands in the gulf Of Mexico, about so
miles from Cuba, spot famous for its
waterspOuts, and in the summer months
there were few days that one or more
were not seen. Generally a long, atten-
uated black cloud would appear, from
which would drop pendulous cloud.
Lower it would descend, resembling the
lower portion of balloon, and when
about half way to the water CORE

frightful object of the sea.

ten miles from our camp and was in
heavy sailboat-too heavy to manipu-
late by oars readily. When half way
home, on the edge Of the channel, the
wind died completely away, and no.
ticed all about us a number of strange
black clouds.
Watching them closely and comment
ing upon them to my man, suddenly
saw the ominous dropping of a pointed
index finger not a sixteenth of mile
away. AS mentioned it my companion
pointed behind me to another, and in
less than five minutes five of these dread
objects dropped from the clouds about
us.
There was not a breath of air, and
there was an ominous silence. Even the
ever present gulls seemed to have de-
serted the place. We got out the oars
and endeavored to pull, but the boat
was too heavy, and we were compelled
to await developments.
The cloud tips slowly dropped, and
all about us mysterious columns rose up
to meet them, until in few minutes
we were surrounded by these huge pill
lars, so that in one direction the heav-
ems appeared to be supported upon
these watery columns. A more remark
able sight cannot be imagined, and
when they began to move we gave our
selves up for lost, as two appeared to be
bearing down upon us.
AS good luck would have it, they
seemed to bring a breeze, and we were
able to get under way, and, fortunately,
escaped. The two giants came careering
down upon us-a spectacle to democrat
ize the stout hearted. One passed not 200
feet away, rushing on with noise
like that Of steam engine. could dis
tinctly see the terrific twisting and
whirling motion of the water, and for
large area about it there was what ap-
peared to be heavy rain.
The spouts began to move as soon as
they were complete, and very soon as
sumed the bend Or bow shape that char
acterizes them, and went sailing away,
These giants were so tall that I could
not venture to estimate their height.
My companion said a mile high, and
they certainly looked it; but they were
under 200 feet
Ny nearest approach to a waterspout
occurred later, and dissipated some of
the theories I had concerning them. One
was that spout was broken when
touched or interfered with in any way,
yet I saw this water giant cross an is
