] better class of men will have to be
put in charge of great many of the
offices.
''It has been charged that the Pro
hibitionists are not in favor of en-.
forcing the dispensary law. Such is
not the fact. So long as it remains a
law, as law abiding citizens they are
in favor Of its enforcement. They
would like to see it enforced by men
all over the State who will make it's
management clean and honest, who
will not use it as a political machine
and to further their own private ends,
but who will manage it in such way
as to sell as little whiskey as possible.

this is done, with the high schools and

the result will be the building up

''By the way, what do you think Of
the dispensary law, anyhow ?"

S~
the dispensary law, anyhow %
"Well, as you know, I am Prohi-
bitionist from principle. To start
with, the dispensary law is wrong in
principle, and ought never to have
been enacted. But I am opposed to
it mainly on the ground that it sells
whiskey to the people as beverage
and debauches our citizens.
"Some of the people would like to
know what good it would do to elect
you Governor with dispensary Leg
islature. Would you mind giving
your views along this line p
"No, sir, not in the least. To start
with it is by no means certain that
the next Legislature will be in sympa-
thy with the dispensary law. There
will be in the next General Assembly
a large number Of simon-pure Prohi-
bitionist. Also large number not
Prohibitionists, who are opposed to
the dispensary law, and it is by no
means certain what will be the result.
You will recollect that the last Gene
raj Assembly came very near passing
the Childs bill, and I believe that if
Mr.. Child health had permitted him
to be present and push his bill, as he
would have done but for his i'll health,
the bill would have become law.
But in case should be elected Gov
ernor and the General Assembly
should see fit to let the dispensary
system stand, it would not only be my
duty, but my pleasure to enforce the
dispensary law and all other laws to
the best of my ability. The law has
some good features, and with an
honest, clean enforcement, it can be
made to do much better service than
it has done in the past. [ do not
mean to be understood as charging
that the entire dispensary officials are
rotten and corrupt, for 1 know that
there are some good men amongst
them, who are seeking to do their full
duty. but it cannot be denied by the
most ardent advocates of the law that
there has been large per cent of COR

not be denied that the law is capable of

Loving Cup PrOprieties.

have not seen any loving cup passed
that is true to it's name. The loving cup
originated as matter of precaution in
Olden times, when apparent friends had
an unpleasant method of killing friend
who was rival while he was drinking.
So an immense heavy cup was made with
heavy cover. The method of using it
can still be witnessed at banqUets at the
Mansion House in London.
The person receiving it stands and
turns to his neighbor, who also rises
and takes the cover with both hands.
The first person then raises the heavy
cup to his lips with both hands, and,
having slipped of the contents, holds it
while the friend at his side replaces the
cover and takes the cup, repeating the
same process in turn with his next
neighbor Thus, both hands being occu-
pied, there is no possibility of one friend
stabbing another.
In our time the custom has degener-
ated, and the cover, as a rule, disap-
peared. Nevertheless if both hands were
occupied that would not prevent tongues
from wagging later, and words are
sometimes sharper than swords. s.-Phil-
adelphia Times.

Pelican and Duck In a Duel.

In Kew gardens, in the presence Of a
considerable number of spectators, an
affair of honor was settled between a
pelican and duck. The birds had had
words together, so to speak, and the
pelican determined that the next best
thing to making the duck eat his words
was to eat the duck. So, after a little
thrust and parry on the water, he made
for the smaller bird and snapped it into
his pouch.
Then a battle royal began inside the
pouch of the pelican. The duck strug-
gled, kicked, quacked and occasionally
managed to get leg or wing outside,
while his captor threw his beak high in
the air, then dipped it into the water,
and kept it there, as If trying TO suf-
focate or drown it's enemy. From the
look of the agitated pouch it seemed as
if the contest was by no means one sided.
but that the pelican was having rather a
rough time.
At last the duck got his head and one
wing out, and then, with a magnificent
effort, managed to get entirely free
Once again on the water, the duck de-
clined further combat and fed, while
the pelican remained, looking as if honor
were thoroughly satisfied. Tel

InouuOrfuue Deaths.

julius Caesar was aSSaSSlnated whel
he had almost completed the task of
consolidating the administration and
dominion of the Roman empire, and his
death opened the way TO that despotism
and corruption Which, ultimately undid
his work. Henry of Ndv~. was killed
when he had almost healsi the differ
ences between Catholic and Protestant,
which subsequently rent not only
France, but Europe, and William the
Silent also fell when he was on the
point Of uniting the Netherland prov
inces into compact barrier against the
encroachments of Spain.
IN English history Lord Give died at
the moment when he was the one man
who could have saved the American
colonies and kept the Anglo-Saxon race
united, but there is the case Of Mira
beau. He was literally the one man in
France who could have averted the hor-
rors of the revolution, saved and re-
formed the monarchy and so spared Eu-
rope the murderous career of Napoleon
and all the devastation it brought. If
he had lived ten or even five years
longer, the history not only of France,
but of Europe and the world, would
have been different. 1t is in fact sufi-
cient to say that he would have made
both Robespierre and Napoleon impos-
sible. Strand Magazine.

The Moors are inveterate coffee drink
ers, especially the merchants, and they
sit in their bazaars and drink cOntinu-
ously the whole day long. 1t has been
noticed that almost invariably, when
these coffee drinkers reach the age of 40
or 40, their eyesight begins to fail, and
by the time they get to be 80 they be-
come blind. One is forcibly impressed
sy the number of blind men seen about
the streets of ane city of Fez, the capital
of Morocco, and this is invariably at
tributed to the excessive use of coffee.

Blue Stockings.

According to an English magazine the
appellation 'blue stockings" originated
in the dress of a Benjamin Stillingfeet,
grandson of the bishop, as he used to
appear at the parties of Mrs. Montague,
in Portman square. He used to general
~ wear blue worsted stockings, and he
was a very amiable and entertaining
man. Whenever he was absent from
Mrs. Montague's evening parties as his
conversation was very interesting, the
company used to say, "We can do moth
ing without the blue stockings. " By de-
groes the assemblies were called "blue

sunday Closing AT Shelton.

The efforts of Evangelist ThurstOn
and the w. C. 7. IT,, at Shelton, to
compel Sunday closing, of saloons and
business houses, seems to have gone Off
on tangent.
Monday Mr.. Israel went to Shelton,
prepared on behalf of the saloons and
business houses, to resist the threat
ened strict enforcement of the law.
On arrival he found Attorney Rich
ardson was absent on fishing expedi-
ton. Israel piled his books and briefs
in a corner and started in circulation
through the community numerous
petitions to the Board of County Com
missioners protesting against the &C
ton threatened in the name and at the
expense of the county. Tuesday morn
ing these petitions were presented to
the board then in session, and resulted
after much conference with the Pros
ecuting Attorney and the board, in n
resolution being adopted by the COM
missioners to the effect that inasmuch
as the town was incorporated and all
the revenues raised from the liquor
traffic was paid to the town, the county
not participating therein, and that as
the town was given by law full author.
ity to regulate and control the saloons,
that it was the wish of the commits
sioners, acting for the county, that the
Town Council take exclusive control of
the matter and that Justices of the
Peace and Prosecuting Attorney be in
structed to govern themselves accord
ingly.
Col. Richardson returned Tuesday
evening and was much chagrined to
find that neither the Prosecuting At
torney nor the Justice OF the Peace
would entertain complaint or issue
q Misunderstanding him to the Town
Council, and the resolution. As the
great majority of the people of Shelton
are opposed to the strict enforcement
OF the law, the saloon men, merchants
and people generally smile when the
subject is mentioned. Col. Richard
son breathes dire threats against the
Commissioners, Justices and Prosecut-
ing Attorney, in the nature of manda-
mus, prohibitions and certiorari.
There is no town ordinance regulating
Sunday closing. Rumor says that, as
the Council is constituted, none can
be passed and-well Israel looks wise
and winks.
