com pII ments on the style and care with
which the text OF his essay had been pre-
pared. The essay dealt more with the private
life OF the poet than with the waitipgs OF the
author.
This being the Christmas meeting, the host
was not bound by. the rules which permit
only 4 limited bill of fare at the regular meet.

FLOOD OF LIQUOR.
That is What the PrOhibitlOnists
Would Turn Loose.
Yorkville Yeoman

The AbbevllIe Press and Banner speaks a
parable when IL says that under Prohibition
The State would be flooded with liquor. The
majority Of the people In York county towns
and In the country know how 1t is and has
been-say one thing and do another publish
to the world that this Is prohibition territory
and then-well. the balance Is too wei lknown
to need repeating. The express records fiug,
keg and case shipments bear testimony 10
actual facts and II Is known of all men that on
iy part of the poison gets In in this manner,
the larger part Of 1t coming In disguised. or In
clandestihe ways by private conveyance.
MANY pious souls that would he unmoved by
The arrival of two hundred and Il fly gallons q
month In Jug and keg in small instalments OF
from one to five gallons, would be paralyzed
with horror should the announcement pe
made that the same number OF gallons had
arrived at the snme depot IN the same length
of time In oak barrels. 1t seems to he case
where it matters not SO much what is done as
how II Is done.

though astronomers were careful to an

few days, when the earth would run in
to the meteors, could not be stated.
There is possibility that the meteoric
shower will not materialiZe though fail
Ire is only a chance. If wee come in con-
act it will be this week and hardly later

. look for the meteors is toward the
lortheast but this is as much conjecture
