 Thero was only 24 votes east in Hickory township against license. yet this same township petitloned the legislature three years ago to enact B law prohibiting the sale of liquor within five miles of the Green Forest high school. The fact Of the business IS the people have fnlly tested the law and are dissatisfied with it. It has not prevented the sale of a single drop of whisky in the town, indeed the traffic grows worse and worse all the time. It is now time to re- peal the law and let the will ot the people, as expressed at the polls, prevail. 1t is one of the basic principles of all free governments that the will of the majority shall rule. We are not led to believe from the overwhelming vote for license that our people are retro grading in morals, but. as q rule, the voto for license was by those people who had become disgusted with blind tigers, since the coun- tu off ni ls nnSiIivaiV rnfllSn

An indication of the progress of
classical learning among the masses
was afforded few days since when
an inmate of an east end workhouse
called upon bookseller to ask
whether be had any knowledge of
mythology. In answer to question
as to why such an inquiry should be
made the pauper said: We'll, our
chaplain last Sunday spoke of the
mother of Achilles dipping him in
the river Lethe. Now, il my mem
DRY does not fail me, the chaplain

was dipped, making all but the heel

was right and his spiritual instructor

highly delighted. London News

Took an Unfair Advantage.

Down in Clarion county, Pa, there
used to live a man named Major
Green, who had a half brother
named John Green. Each spent the
greater part Of his life in thinking
up Jokes to play off on the other,
and when John Green died the score
was thought to he about even.
A plain stone was erected over
Johns grave by his family, and on
it beneath his name and the dates of
his birth and death was carved this
simple inscription:
He lived a blameless life"
But after it had remained that
way for week or two somebody
added, Until the year before he
died, when he learned to play the
accordion.
Major Green passed to the great
beyond a few months later, and it is
generally thought by people who
knew them that he had the last
laugh on John when they met on
the other side.-Cleveland Leader.

Huxleys Conclusion.

There was once discussion about
liberation at Huxley's dinner table.
He said to Professor Mivart:
"Oh, you must not appeal to me
to support liberation as principle !"
"Indeed2" said l.
mo, he continued. II think vice
and error ought to be extirpated by
force if it could be done.
"You amaze me,' l rejoined.
"Then you rehabilitate Torquemada
and some others we have all been
accustomed to blame"
II think" he answered, "they
were quite right in principle, though
the way they carried the principle
out was injurious to their cause.
Surely" l exclaimed, burning
alive is strong measure.
Yes" said he, especially the
smell. London Telegraph.

SOUTHERN wOMANHOOD.

A northern paper publishes the
following article, which is true as
gospel in its statements and is one
reason why the northern man
should seek a congenial home in
the Sunny South:
whether there are more women
than men in the south or whether
the climate there has anything to
do with the agreeable nature of
the people we have never seen
stated, but it must be one or the
other, for southern paper says
that the South is a place where a
breach of promise suit is practi-
cally unknown, where women are
not husband hunters and where
divorce is infrequent. There is
no such thing in the south as
waiting for a rich man to die and
then spring sensational common
law marriages, nor has there been
rarely ever claim made by Jekyl
and Hyde women for rich man s
estate. Go south and flee from
designing womanhood; 60 where
there is no need for bachelor or
non-marriage clubs, and fall a
willing victim, as you inevitably
will, to Gods best handiwork, a
true southern woman.

TO give exact dates, bat about the
year 1890 unmarried women who
were holders OF real estate TO given

did very generally exercise the right

In colonial days the states Of the
south generally made the ownership
OF property requisite to the exer-

the New England colonies generally
made church membership neces-
sary qualification of the voter. Fol.
lowing the idea that only property
holders should vote, it was natural
step to conclude that all property
holders should vote. Maryland.
therefore, decided that where the
ownership of property was vested in
a woman who had not husband to
represent her she should be a voter.
l have many times heard my
grandmother tell of voting during
the days Of her widowhood and de-
scribe the manner of exercising the
franchise in those days. There was
but one voting place in the county,
and all the voters were required to
60 to the county town to cast their
votes. She lived in the county of
Talbot, and the voting place for the
entire county was Easeon, the ooun-
ty seat There was no casting of a
ballot, nor was the system like the
viva voce vote which prevailed in
Kentucky until a few years ago, but
the candidates for office sat in the
election room, and each voter was
expected to Look them over and SO
lect the one for whom he or she de-
sired to vote, and the clerks made a
record of the decision. Candidates
for state offices were expected to

time for every one to get to the vot

forties the spirit of progress required
a sweeping away of the barriers
