Drinking Clubs.
bellows Falls Times. ]

The Maine supreme court has de-
cided that under the prohibitory law
of that state clubs cannot dispense
liquors among members without VIC
lating the law. The Vermont court
has decided that under the Vermont
law clubs can do just this thing. In
the Maine case one Pratt was found
guilty of maintaining a liquor nuts
ance. Pratt was treasurer of a drink
ing club and janitor of the head
quarters, and when the place was raid
ed by deputy sheriffs he was arrested
on Il charge of maintaining a liquor
nuisance. His defence in the superior
coul was that the club room was not
a pubic nuisance, and was open only
to members, who secure their liquor
through the agency of the treasurer
and drink it on the premises. Pratt's
counsel requested the judge to charge
the jury to that effect, but the judge
refused In his charge he said: IF
people resort to this place and drink
liquor there. or if liquor was distrib-
uted among them by the man in
charge, or anybody, in a way not pro
vided by law, then the place was a
common nuisance" The supreme
court sustained this view of the case.

Otto and the Auto.

'Tis strange how fashion makes US
change the objects we admire;
We used to sing the tireless steed, but
now the steedless tire.
So Otto bought an auto, so as not to be
antique,
But the thing was autocratic,
AS well as automatic
And the auto wouldn't auto as 1t ought
to, so to speak.
He thought to get an auto-operator for
the work,
And first he tried circus man, and then
he tried a Turk,
For he knew circus man drove fifty
horses with success.
And If a man be shifty
Enough to manage fifty
It's palpable enough he ought to manage
one horse-less.
AS for the Turk tbs also plain, deny It
If you can.
He ought to run an auto, since a Turk s
an Ottoman.
Twas all no use, so Otto moved to Ala
bama, purely
That he might say; I'm Otto,
From Mobile, and my motto:
"A Mobile Otto ought to run an auto
mobile, surely
Then Otto sought to auto on the auto
as he ought to,
But the auto sought to auto as Otto
never thought to,
So Otto, he got hot, oh, very hot! as ne
ought not to,
And Otto said: This auto ought to auto
and it's got to-"
And Otto fought the auto, and the auto
1t fought Otto,
Till the auto also got too hot to auto as
II ought to,
And then, great Scott! the auto shot to
heaven-so did Otto
auto ought to.

Set

Holland and Belgium at 664,OOO,OOO
bushels for the present crop year, of
which those countries will produce
about 1896 100000 bushels. This leaves
a deficit of 268, 100000 bushels, or con-
siderably more than the average. If
the latest crop reports from Russia
are to be believed, that country Will
be able to export little more than
enough to meet such. deficiencies as
may exist in the importing countries
of central Europe, assisted by such
slight help as Argentina, India and
Australia may afford. 1t seems to be

Brut ; Burn Brutes.

Newport ] kpress and Standard
If the brutes who burn the brutes
in our extreme Southern and Western
states could only have a taste of the
same medicine, the custom might be-
come unpopular. Papers delight to
quote the sentence, "all of the best
citizens were present" This is lie,
We will wager a dime that the best
citizens" never attended one of those
fiendish and uncalled for orgies in the
world. The vigilantes are made up of
class but little above the order of
brutes whom they burn.

of the Sailors Home near Philadel-
phia. This is reputed to be comfort
able place Something good ought to
come to him. He performed splen-

was reduced instead of advanced. 1t
