THE KEY I'D 4 SJTV%TFoN.

| It seems to be just about as hard to regulate the liquor traffic on the other
 side of the world as it is on this side. They have very stringent liquor law l in Victoria, Australia. This law pro-
 vides that there shall be no liquor in
 any part of public house or hotel be-
 tween midnight on Saturday and 6
 o'clock on Monday morning, except in the barroonl, and between those hours
 the barroom must be kept locked This
 part of the law the police profess to
 strictly enforce, and yet the various
 societies organized to upllft the moral
 sense of the people report that there is
 more drunkenness on Sunday nights
 than on any other night of the week.
 Recently police officer entered hotel,
 the parlor of which adjoins the bar
 room, and though he could find no
 liquor there, signs of it were very ap-
 parent on the faces and in the actions
 of the men who were seated about the
 place. The door leading to the bar
 room was locked, but the key was in the lock, and the policeman arrested the proprietor of the place, on the ground that the door was not locked within the meaning of the act. The superintendent of police agreed with the officer who had made the arrest, and prosecution was ordered. The judge dismissed the complaint, holding that the door was locked, and the act made no mention of what disposition should be made of the key. The temperance people are now considering the advisa- bility of having an amendment added to the law so as to provide that there shall be but one key to any barroom lock, and that during prohibited hours that key shall be hung in place where it can be plainly seen from the street.

The History OF spotless Town.

When early in March, 1900, the public
was, by means of the car cards design
ed by Mr.. j. K. Fraser, of Ward g.
Cows art department, introduced to
Spotless Town and its inhabitants, 3
new chapter had been added to the his
tory of advertising.
The series took" at once; never since
the day of punch in the presence OF
the Passengaire" did a jingle so take
possession of the public. Dignifed men
in elevated ears craned their necks to
see IL there was not another Spotless
Gown card in sight, while more enter
prising people journeyed through the
entire train for the same purpose. Chill
dren and sedate matrons read the
verses to each other, till, from the
naughty Mayor down to the modest
cook the newly created citizens became
the friends of the public. As it is
usual in giving the history Of town to
publish the portraits of those people
who have done most to make the place
prosperous or famous, we reproduce
here pictures of the men and women
who have been most prominently con-
nected with the growth of Spotless
Town, made directly from the water
color paintings in the Hall OF Fame.

A strong interest soon sprang up as
to the location and environment OF
Spotless Town, in response to which an
excellent map was published, and the
territory was named Shining State.
EpotIess Town, in Sparkling County
was designated as the capital.
This municipality was in the middle
of a section of country possessed OK
great natural advantages in the way
Of water courses, hills and plains. It
had. however, one disadvantage, that
of proximity co a most unsalubr1ous
and offensive region the very name Of
which, Filthy State" perfectly de-
scribed it's character. It was, never.
theless, but short time before the CEN

houses built by persons who were glad
of the opportunity to escape from such
places as Grimeyille, Dingy Village,
and that branch Of Muddy River known
as Rusty Fork.

repeatedly used to promote cleanliness

LaWbreakers are almost unknown
among the residents. Even the people
who are not professedly cody are very
clean. Storekeepers are happy because
they have no bad debts and their Gus
toners enjoy life because they have no
fear Of substitution, and a toddling
child can do the family marketing as
well as her mother.
