DOES PROHIBITION PROHIBIT?
IS TO /.

The cores pendent of the Boston
Herald who has been making tour of
the cities Of Maine for the purpose OF
discovering in what way the prohibit
ton law is enforced, has brought out in
striking manner the inutility Of this
kind OF legislation.
The home OF Neal Dove has had no
happier experience in the effort to re-
form social evils by drastic sumptuary
laws, than kaneas and other states that
have tried the experiment. The Her.
AIDS correspondent shows that in all
of the centres Of population the law is
systematically violated. and violated in
most instances with entire impunity
that in many of the cities of Maine
there are more liquor selling esta blish-
menta than ia cities of similar size in
the state of Massachusetts where local
option has permitted the granting oil
licenses.
So far as can be judged by the mum
Der of arrests for drunkenness, there is
quite as much, and possibly more, liq
uor consumed in Maine in proportion
to the number of inhabitants than il
used in the state of Massachusetts.
In short, prohibition does not pro
hibit. 1t is merely delusion which
curieusly enough, is held to be sufi
Gent to satisfy the minds OF men who
it might be supposed would care macl
more for the reality and substance thai
for the shadow and fiction of righteous
ness.

The top or platform is three feet in
length and two and half feet wide
and twenty-eight inches from the
ground The wheels should be six or
eight inches in diameter and may be
of wood or iron; the handles are four
and half feet long with a step nailed
on top of them, as shown in the
sketch, This arrangement will prove
handy in gathering apples from the
lower branches of trees, and for many
other purposes about the farm. 1t can

MOVABLE PLATFORM.

just the Thing for Farmers Who Wish to
Drive Posts.
In driving fence posts platform of
some kind is required for the operator
to stand upon when manipulating the
sledge. This is usually Il cumbersome
box that is rolled and tumbled from
one post to another as the work pro-
crosses, and if the ground is uneven
the support is very unsteady, render
ing the work unnecessarily tiresome
for the operator. 1t takes but little
while to construct a wheeled platform

A Cat That Graves Approval.

Mrs. Muggins is a very good 1nouser,
and occasionally she will catch great
big rat out i'll the barn. OF this feat she
is always very proud and invariably
brings the rat after it is dead to the
house, where every member of the fam
lily must see it and praise and pet her
for being such q good, brave cat The
first time this occurred one of the men,
bers of the family took the rat up on n
shovel and threwit over the back fenps.
but in q very few moments Mrs. Mug
gins had it back again. Again aud again
it was thrown away, but every time it
was brought back.
AT last the two compromised matters
by allowing the rat to remain just ont
side the back door by the side of the
step. There it staid all day until even
ing, when it was found out why Mrs.
Muggins objected to having it thrown
away.
The father had been home only few
minutes when Mrs. Muggins walked
proudly into the sitting room with her
head aloft and the big rat dangling
from her mouth. She went up to the
man and laid the rat at his feet, looked
up in his face and waited to be caressed
and praised. After she received the de-
sired attention, she allowed the rat to
be carried away and cared nothing more
about it. Cincinnati Tribune.

One OF the distinguished Confederate

unpublished incidents: During the cere-
monies of the unveiling of the monu-
ment to the G,000 private Confederate
soldiers who died i'll prison, q wild eyed
old man, in u towering rage, rushed up
to the party in n high state of excite
ment, shook his fist at them aud yelled: !:
You have got no business here. You
ought all to be hanged OF skinned alive :"
He fixed his eyes upon Senator Hunton,
who smiled kindly at the infuriated old
party and said: "Oh, we are all right,
my friend, and don't you forget it. :"

STORIES OF THE DAY.
The Burglar Alarm Was All Right, but
the Falir Forgot Till Too Late.

the Fakir Forgot Till Too Late.
A new fakir struck town last week.
He Was new in two senses. He hadn't
been long i'll the business, and his fake
ment was novelty. He was young
fellow from Connecticut farm whom
tho king Of tho falzirs, who does bust
ness i'll Grand street, New York, had
inveigled into. buying the territorial
rights" for western New York for n bur-
glar alarm, which consisted simply of q
paper cap, such as children use in their
toy pistols, fitting into socket near the
catch i'll window frame. When bur-
glar attempted to open the window by
manipulating the catch, so the inventors
theory ran, there would be an explosion
sufficiently loud to awaken the house
holder and result in the crackslnan's S
capture. The cap and socket could also
be used to play u practical joke on the
buyers friends. They could be affixed to
a door, which victim could then be
induced to open. "Imagine his conster-
nation and the hearty laughter of the
assembled company" etc.
The new fakir did pretty we'll at first.
He selected an eligible corner on busy
street and usually had an open mouthed
crowd around him. On the second day
Fate sauntered along i'll the person of a
sad eyed, thoughtful browcd man, who
listened for awhile and then interrupt
cd the lecturer thus:
"Will you allow me to ask you a
question, mister?"
"C't'nly, sir, +" replied the fakir.
"Well, then, suppose the burglar
knows the cap is i'll the window and
pulls the sash down from the top instead
of showing up the lower half of the win
dow to which the alarm is affixed-what
provision does your device make for such
contingency"
The fallir Thought for awhile. No
, such emergency had been provided for
i'll the printed lecture which lle had
bought with his territorial rights /"
He hemmcd and hawed and quibbled,
but he had no answer ready. The crowd
appreciated the fact and jcered and
melted away.
That night an idea came to broken
hearted man who was riding in a box car
| toward Cleveland 1t was the failed fl-
kir "Why, durn It'll" he said to him
self, "a man couldn't crawl in through
the top Of a window without showing
the sash down far enough to touch the
catch and strike the cap. Why didn't l
think Of that when that feller was josh
ing me this afternoon:"
But it was then too late.
| Thus does fate make monkeys Of men,

The ship was about $50 miles east of
Cape Henlopen at 2 O'Clock on Monday
afternoon. 1t WAS then that Il school of
whales was sighted about mile away
on the starboard quarter. Captain Baker
declares there We're 90 of them, of vary

leap frog. Others We're doing Il series of
giant acrobatics which would make the
fortune of any summer resort Captain
Baker is usually an unimpressionable
nan, but as he watched the demonstra-
tion he exclaimed. "Great gosh!"
But that wasn't the only surprise he
was to meet. At night the good ship
sailed into strange locking sea. Itwas
cut up into small llummocks, and when
the Kenilworth trembled and shook and
jolted the bD's'n said. "Wc're gone
ashore" But he was wrong. Captain
