Mark Twain has just concluded lee
turing tour IN New Zealand. He said
goodby to the New Zealanders at Christ
church, and in the course of his speech
made reference to prohibition, which he
said he approved, but which would put
them into most difficult straits. He then
told the following story:
Gin our country several years ago
there was a man came into prohibited
town, and, unlike you savages here, they
said to him, You can't get drink any
where except at the apothecary's. So he
went to the apothecary, who said, : You
can't get a drink here without pre-
scription from the physician But the
man said: I am perishing. haven t
time to get prescription. The apothe-
cary replied, Well, haven It power to
give you a drink except for snake bite.
The man said, Where the snake? 80
the apothecary gave him the snakes ad-
dress and he went off Soon after, how
ever, he came back and said, For good
ness sake, give me drink. That snake
is engaged for six months ahead. -

WASHINGTON, March 24.-The German
reichstag is now considering a bill, framed
