Virginian Hospitality.

New York sun.
| Virginia has a puritanical village.
1t is Falls Church, seven miles from
Washington, and within a short dis
lance OF Camp Alger, recently aban-
doned by the volunteer soldiers. The
town regulations are ridiculed and
fought by the native Virginian, and
since the arrival OF the troops in the
state open war has been declared. A
violator of the blue laws appeals his
case to the state authorities, secures q
jury and is sure of acguittal
Falls Church is strictly a southern
settlement and the SOutherner resents
the New England ideas there Pro
hlbltion is hobby with the villagers,
| and as Camp Alger was within q pro-
hlblt1on Jurisdiction the soldiers were
disappointed in not being able to par
take literally of famous Southern de-
coctions. Recently the town council
made 1t an offense for any one to sell
ice cream, candy and soda water on
Sunday. Fruit and all delicacies were
also prohibited. The temptation to
violate the law was great, though, and

| hind stone fences. Arrests were nu-
| merous and all offenders were prompt
| " punished by heavy fines imposed by
the prohibition magistrate of Falls
Church.
Only ten miles from the village Is the
| historic county seat of Fairfax county.
1t Is Fairfax Court House md Attor-
ney A. A. Lipscomb, q typical South
erner, representing the defendants, ap-
pealed his case to the courts there,
where he received a jury trial. The
Jury was composed of native Virgin
ians. and their luminosity for the pnri-
tanlcal town was evident.
The defendants did not even deny as
slstlng the soldiers to allay their thirst.
In fact, they admitted that they had
prepared that seductive drink, q mint
Juiep. The lawyer hoped for a light
fine in place of the one of $500 and q
Jail sentence imposed by the Falls
argument.
He began oy saying:
when God Almighty created man
he created man with q thirst" The
jury smiled. The courtroom was filled
with the residents of the county and
they listened attentively to the next
remark. The lawyer pictured the Ger
man In his beer garden and described
the Frenchman drawipg"the soul from
the grape.''
In our country we have the noun
tain dew and some of our lips have
tasted it,
The jurymeh moved uneasily in their

grave of every true Virginian, and

The courtroom was filed with ap-
plause at this and the twelve men
looked very dry.
''Virginia's historic hospitality is in
jeopardy" continued the lawyer. "The

Swift whip and spur
Together clash,
And wheels on wheels that tottcr

They're Off. They're Off.
Away. Away.

The host is gone:
All forward thrust
Through clouds of dust:
The thronging legions madIy ride
Ger hill and dale,
With hurried pace unsatisfed,
In fierce assail
Where nerve may fail:
And one by one exhausted sheer,
The racing thousands disappear;
Till only shadows dimly blent
Tell where the mounted armies went,
Like shifting shadows, faint and dim,
Or ghoStly specters, gaunt and grim,
Beyond the far horizons rim,
