The Shooting Craze.

Every man thinks he can shoot un-
til laughed out of the idea, and every
lunatic likes to try his hand at
slaughtering live birds. Clay pigeons
require more skill. Great quantities
of pigeons are shot in this country an
nually, and all find their way to our
tables, where they are doctored and
served under foreign names. Many a
man in our cheaper restaurants does
not know that he is eating pigeon in
stead of the game bird he has ordered.
Your table d'hote proprietor has a
knack of keeping pigeons Dor week
or two, changing the taste of the meat
with chemical, and imposing it upon
his stranger guest. The shooting
craze is so widespread that 500 magau-
traps soon will be in operation on the
grounds of the leading gun clubs of
the country. This means that 25,OO0,'
600 clay pigeons win be thrown and
shot at in 1900. representing an ex-
pendIture of S15O,0OO. The powder
and shot wasted will cost more than

not the farmers come to town, get
their lists of dry goods and grocer

home sober? They have neither
time nor inclination to hunt up
back stairways to obtain an unsat-

A saloon might be an irreslst-

self respect and honor to drink in a

An anti saloon sentiment is uncon-
sciously developed, and thus we
see that prohibition not only pro-
hibits now but insures prohibition
for the future.

In state of disorganization, social

hardly be imagined by anyone who
has not studied carefully existing con-
ditions there. It is hardly an exag-
geration 10 say that from the presi-
dent, Simon Sam, down, the people
are in positively hopeless state.
There are exceptions, but they may al
most be counted on the fingers of ono
hand.
President Sam loves to call himself
"The Lion" and his people initiate
him, some in all seriousness, but the
majority in scorn. Anything more un-
like lion than HIS excellency can
not we'll imagine. His courage is Of
such poor quality that he never goes
anywhere, either in the city or the
country, except under the escort OF
the entire Haytian 'army."
Soon after my arrival in Port au
Prince, had my first interview with

appointed time, nine n. M, and was
at once shown to the grand salon on
the second floor of the palace. The
president greeted me cordially. He
expressed pleasure at receiving IAN

compliment by intimating that the
world at large was impatient to hear
from him. This delighted him. Then
he vouchsafed the information that
Hayti was not only the most fertile
island in the West Indies, but the
most beautiful as well, and exceeding
ly rich in minerals. All it needed, he
said, was capital to get the riches
out.
"But," he went on, "the people lack
courage, fact that is due probably
to the little financial crisis which the
country has undergone purely as a re-
suit of Hyppolite's extravaganza"
His excellency said this because in
Hayti they never forgive anyone who
takes a step in advance, and his prede-
cessor, Hyppolite, built little rail-
road eight or nine miles long, installed
two electric light plants, and laid out
a few miles of good road. I agreed
with his excellency however, that the
money spent for these improvements
had been thrown away Then, seeing
how lovingly he clung to the great
gold chair of state in which he sat,
timidly asked how he liked being pres !
ident, and what chances there were
of another revolution. He hastened to
assure me that the utmost content
and quiet reigned (although for days |
nothing but revolution was talked OF
out in the open), and that the Hay
tian army was never in better shape.

TEMPERANCE THOUGHTS.
Does Prohibition Prohibit? If
Not, Why Not?

Inc usual dIguuoHI dBaihoV PAV-
hibition is that "some men will
have liquor, and if they can't get
it one way the will another.
Let us question further. Who
are these men and why must they
have it? Perhaps we may arrive
at some conclusion.
First, there are the medical men
and druggists who are obliged to
keep liquor for medical purposes,
(snake bites, sun strokes, sorrows,
ETC..
Then there are the confirmed
drunkards who have an uncontrol-
able craving for liquor-those
whose will and judgment have
been overcome, and to whom the
sight Of the illegal package is
dearer than anything else.
Then there are men who have
no intense craving for liquor, but
who through an Unborn outlawry
send for it just to show their de-
fiance of law, just to assert their
independence, just to make illegal
money.
These are the few instances
where prohibition does not pro-
hibit. Sometimes the blame may
rightfully be laid on inefficient
officers, who fail to enforce the
prohibitory law. An officer is
subject to many temptations. The
"spoils Of Office" might be correct
ly read "spoiled in office" but
even though he may have been
elected by the law breakers them
selves he is in honor bound to en-
force the law.
The noble manhood of even a
United States president might be
endangered by too long term.
Sometimes prohibition does not
prohibit when the men of our land |
take it upon themselves to hold an
election or a political meeting, |
perhaps to make the argument
good that politics is too corrupt
field for women to enter, thay lay
in supply of liquor. These law
breaking, law-maklng men then
proceed to elect law-enforcing
officers-such is the consistency of
some men.
Thus we see that in certain in
stances prohibition does not pro-
hibit, and for the sake of doctors.

Prohibition, however, to some
means a good law to be cheerfully
to others i: means protec-
tion from trying temptation.
which fact should be remembered
when the advocates Of the saloon
are making pleas for the men who
must have liquor.v
Prohibition means money to the
instead Of The saloon. It

Because Of prohibition there are
