Polly was captured by his British Maj
esty's ship Phoebe, of forty-four guns.
The Captain and his men were taken
to England, where they were impris-
oned for seven months. The prize crew
placed on board the Polly, however, re-
volted and went over into the service
of the United States.
At the present time the Polly is

years 1t has been known as one of the
fastest sailing vessels on the north
coast, and 1t can still show clean pair

discovered that the well had been
drilled almost on the line, which had
been broken by the shot, and the oil
which seemed to come from the well
was coming from the pipe line. This
investigation ended the career of the
greatest spouter In Northwestern Ohio.

WHY DIsCRIMINATFP

The house OF Representatives Of the
Pennsylvania legislature has passed a
bill to prohibit the sale to women Of
beer or other liquor to be carried from
a saloon in a bottle or other recepta-
Gle. The bill is classed as anti-"growl-
err legislation. and the author Of the
measure declared his purpose TO be to
put a stop to drunkenness among wom-
en- ana children.
Commenting on this action Of the
Pennsylvania lawmakers the Cleveland
Plain Dealer says:
While there can be no objection 10
such legislation. why should the law
makers discriminate against the wOm-
en-? Why prohibit the rushing Of the
GROWER by women and still permit
men to do it2 OF course it is an evil
for a husband to find that his wife is
spending his money for beer and other
liquor and that she is acquiring the
drink habit, but what about the evil of
a drunken husband who squanders 4
good part of his earnings in a saloon,
with which many wives have to con-
tend?
IF the wives had votes and their hus-
bands had not. would the author of this
bill favor measure to prohibit 'growl-
er rushing by men and leave their
wives free to carry LIQUOR from saloons
in bottles and pails2
TT is nearly always difficult &c

kinks that get into the heads Of men
who make laws"
