A Communication.

Editors Kelne bee Journal:
During the state Convention of the
Woman's Christian Temperance Union
which met in Waterville a few days
ago. the question of law enforcement
was prominently brought forward and
the resolutions of former years We're
reiterated.
1t is we'll known that he w. c. T. T..
is Il prominent factor in bringing
about better law enforcement. 1t is
widely believed that in very many
cases liquor sellers have been repeat
edlv convicted to pay their fines, which
virtually amounts to paying license
fee. and 90 on with their business.
AT the time of our convention the
court was in session in Kcnnebec
county. ana /, 4 resident and taxpayer
in the county wished to have an eN-
preston go out from the convention
bearing upon the ACCESSIBILITY Of a Jail
sentence instead of such fine. and |
wished to have II presented while the
court was IL session. AS soon as I
presented the petition to the conven-
ton there was an attempt TO amend 1t
10 include all 0f the courts, the reason
hcirg given that there was similar ac-
ton in nearly all of the counties.
When ] wrote the petition did not
have in mind the least guilty violators
of law. but such criminals as are re-
peatedly transgressing AMI are not
punished in such way thar renders
them unable to continue their bust
ness.
| acknowledge that the petition wars
not as carefully prepared as it might
have been, Notwithstanding | claim
that those who have q special interest
in the Advancement of the temperance
cause will fully and rightly understand
what the intent was, and [ have been
informed that before it is sent to the
other Judges that intent will be more
carefully outlined by the official board
of the Maine Woman's Christian Tenn
uerance Union in whose hands rest all
The unfinished business of the convene
ton.
Yours for righteous laws and their
enforcement.

Smokers VIII Hardly Believe This.

Some of the clerks in the war de-
partment played a joke on we'll
known clerk in the telegraph office the
other day. They got cheap cigar,
filled it with small pieces of rubber and
then gave it to the telegraph man. He
is always playing practical jokes on his
fellows and they We're merely trying
to even up. He started in to work as
usual and puffed vigorously on the
cigar He must have had cold in
his head, for he didn't seem to notice
the foul smell that soon permeated the
atmosphere. His associates could
hardly stand it. however, but they
didn't know about the cigar The odor
finally became overpowering, and the
smell of rubber was unmistakable AS
there had been some trouble with the
telegraphic apparatus the innocent vic
tins concluded from the smell that the
insulators had caught fire. An expert
electrician was summoned from the
Western Union office and spent some
time examining the switchboard con-
ported that there was nothing at all
the matter with them that the truth
dawned upon the operators that it was
merely case of "bad cigar" It was a
curious commentary on the smokers
taste that he didn't know he was not
smoking tobacco until those around
him informed him Of the fact.

The North Star state"

Minnesota has been designated the
North Star State" of which express
sion two or three explanations have
been given, one on account of it's geo.
graphical position, another that the
north star appears in it's coat of arms.
1t has also been called the Lake
State, from the great number of small!
lakes within it's limits, and the "Goph-
er State because the early settlers
found these animals in such abund-
ance that they proved serious nuis-
ance. Even a careful rider passing
over plain where gophers abounded
was in danger Of being thrown by his
horse accidentally stepping in q
gopher hole.
