Mrs. Carrie Nation sends the follow
ing letter to the State Journal concern
ing her recent visit in Lawrence. She
says:
The first evening spent visiting with
old friends. some of whom had known
me n gdrlhood- Later on some Of the
students and my dear friends, the re
porters, went with me to what was said
to be the worst place in town, a billiard
hall. where I found $50 young men and
boys learning the first steps Of gambling,
learning only that which is bad and
nothing good I got up OF billiard
table and by raising MY voice to a high
key tried to talk to them OF the evils
of this broad way. OF course, Mr.. To-
liceman came in and gently pulled me
down; yes, the exception IS he handled
me the gentlest that any policeman ever
did and led me out on the sidewalk The
crowd was dense and the dear boys OF
the Y NJ c. A were SO concerned about
me that they got me in q store and had
q hack come up to the back door and I
was driven to the home of Mrs Davis
who was With me but became lost in the
crowd. She says she resented my leav-
ing her behind I will say to all my
friends, when you go our With me do not
expect me to turn back for you; 1 must
go forward. i believe God sent me to
the home of Mrs. Davis, for they were
the friends in need
Mrs. Davis asked Mr. Bowersock,
congressman from the Second district,
for the opera. house for the ". c. T. u,
of which she is an honorary member. He
gave it free of charge and at in the
afternoon we hsld a meeting with large
attendance. Ten cents was charged at
the door and a collection of $37 was
made, which was a Godsend to me, as it
enabled me to pay the rest due to the
Kansas Farmer for printing my last is
sue of the Smasher's Mail The Davis
family cannot know how much they were
to me, and God bless that horne, for
they gave me more than a cup of cold
water in the name of a disciple My next

HE WANTED A WIFE.

Chris Hanson Expected the County
Clerk TO Supply One.
Avoca, Dec. 30-Chris Hanson, Of this
Llace. according to a person who re-
turned from Omaha Saturday, created
quite a sensation In that metropolis of
Nebraska. 1t is said he went into Om-
aha on an early train that morning, with
the avowed purpose of returning here In
the evening with a wife.
He is said to have gone directly to the
office of the county clerk and made APP
plication for a marriage license. When
it came to the place where the name of
the woman in the case was required he
frankly admitted that he did not know
her name and that it was his impress
sion that the woman was supplied by
the clerk. The clerk was somewhat
taken back by this statement, but his
presence of mind, an observance of
Hanson and an appreciation Of the fu-
dicrous established in his mind that here
was place to have some fun. He adj
mitted that he might possibly be able
to supply the member lacking In the
contract and forthwith proceeded to In
troduce Hanson to all of the lady en-
ployes of the court house. Hanson as
readily made his proposition, and was
just as readily met with the stereotyped
expression, This is so student

some damsel with dazzling beauty VINO
would be willing to link herself with him

still reside in Denmark and are said to
be quite wealthy.
Hanson is a young Dane, who mas
