School Entertainment.

The high school pupils gave two
act play at the school house Friday
AFTERNOON which, in point of acting,
would rival a good many of the theat-
rical troupeS travelling the country.
Emery Hickey made fine hero and
Miss Ferguson acted the sister to per-
lection. Silvery locks become Miss
Hickey as an elderly lady, while moth
ing less could be said of the whitencd
hair of Don Crookham as the old man.
The inevitable laundering darkey's
part was well taken by ChaS. Kelley
as was also the part of the father of
the hero. 1t is needless to say that
Miss Myriam briggs and Roy Whelan
were just all right. Between acts
those present were highly entertained
with duet by Misses Strains, solos by
Misses Close and Morse, and recita-
tions by Arthur and Miss CaSwell.

law, but the peasant was Still able to
go to a restaurant and get all the liq-
nor he wanted by buying a piece of
bread. Much of his purchasing was
on credit and he was encouraged to go
in debt. The quality of the spirits
was such that the drinkers health
suffered. The edict had little effect on
bettering the PEASANTS condition.
This was the state Of affairs when M.
de White, the present finance minister,
assumed Office eight years ago.
Mr.. Henry Norman, in an article in
Scribner's Magazine, tells how the new
minister faced the problem. M. de
White concluded that man drinks
for three reasons: First, because of
his natural desire to do so: second, be
cause he is excited to do so: third, be-
cause he can get credit. The first rea-
son he saw would make prohibition
impossible. But if the other two
could be removed, and if only pure liq-
uorS could be sold, he believed condi
tions could be vastly improved. His
plan involved making it to no mans
interest to incite another to drink and
aboliShing the sale OF liquor on credit.
The easiest way to accomplish these
ends was to put the business under
state control.
1t was decided to bring about the
change in ten years. The innovation
is introduced into few provinces at a
time and by 1904 the manufacture and
sale of spirits in the Russian empire
will be strict government monopoly.
Only pure liquor is to be sold and it
must be paid for in cash. Sales by
the glass will be restricted to the pur-
chasers of food.
Russia is not undertaking an untried
experiment. in controlling the liquor
business. Norway and Sweden put
practically the same system into effect
several years ago with remarkably
favorable results. The whole of the
North of Europe will soon be an in
tereSting object lesson to the rest of
the world in the matter of temper
ance.-K. G. Star.

The coming city election in Beloit
this year will be peculiar one. A
"dry" ticket will be elected by an over
whelming majority. Men and women
who never voted that ticket before
will vote it this year. A nomination
on the ''dry" ticket this year will
mean election. The sentiment of the
people of Beloit has entirely changed
and the greater portion Of the fellows
who use liquor are pledging themselves
to support city that will see that the
laws of Kansas are enforced on the
liquor question. Beloit is the best

TREES FOR FARMERS.
Addition to the Agricultural
Departments Seed Distri-
button System.

1.-THE plans of the agricultural depart
ment are carried out members of the
fifty-seventh congress will have the
privilege next year and other years to
follow of distributing small trees
which will be apportioned to them
in the same manner as vegetable
ard other seeds are now. The secre
tary of agriculture is preparing to
make an investigation of conditions
surrounding tree growth in the United
States and Intends to begin the distri-
button of small trees for this pur-
pose.
There is but little known about the
kind of trees that can be grown in the
United States" he said, land it is the
intention of the department to
conduct campaign of investigation
through the trees distributed by
congressman, just as it has through
the distribution of seeds. The subject
of tree growth is OF special Importance
because Of the rapid denudation of our
hills and mountains of all of their
forest coverings. Tree life in the
United States is gradually disappear
ing under the inroads of the lumber
mans axe. Some method must be
found to make up for the loss and what
it is will probably develop from our in
vestigation. The average American
knows nothing about the cultivation of
trees. He scarcely knows how to take
care of the ordinary one which grows
naturally, and he will have to be
taught if we are to preserve our shade
trees and forests. After we have OBJ
tained sufficient data from our tree
distribution then we will issue a book
and regular bulletins giving infor-
nation concerning Gthe diseases and
cureS and so forth"

THIS MAN NET THE DEVIL.
Evangelist ThOmpson's Explanation of
How He Came to Steal Coat

How the devil tempted William A.
Thompson, an evangelist and mission
worker, of Reading, Pa, was told this
week by Mr.. Thompson himself He
is GA years old and has converted
many sinners and drunkards. He is
now under arrest for stealing coat.
He admits his guilt, but in eXtenua-
ton says the devil appeared to him in
wagon, told him to take the coat and
for the time being was too strong for
him. Thompson is veteran of the
civil war and was a candidate for
mayor. He says:
II want to tell all the world how l
was tempted. l never stole before.
| was converted at the age of II at
COnshohocken, Pa, and have always
been poor man.
II was going home from seeing a
sick friend at night, when | saw one

1t is likely the case will be dropped.
Mr.. Thompson is highly regarded by
his neighbors and he says be may

maintains that his prayers for forgive
ness for the coat episode have been
heard. His strange story of tempta-
ton is believed generally.
