A DOMESTIC DIFFICULTY.

Abe Solution Was Original, Though
the Result Was Unhandy.
Every time tell this story"
bright society matrOn remarked,
somebody accuses me of making it
up, but it is a true story nevertheless.
up in the Virginia mountains David
and | took long walk to explore the
wild country road near our hotel.
Away up on the rough mountain side
was a little cabin, and as | have a
most fervent human interest in the
home life of all peoples remote from
cities | proposed that we visit the cab
in, with the wayfarers' usual pretext,
to ask for drink Of water. In the
one room of the small house were the
usual furnishings, a few chairs, many
dogs lying about, guns on the WALL
high bed in each corner and hOmely
table spread with hOmely crOckery in
the center of the household picture. A
plain little woman, worn and aged,
but very neat in calico frock and ging-
ham apron, met us at the door and
asked us in, while one of the rough
boys lounging on the porch was dis
patched to the spring for fresh water.
Instead of the usual mountaineer's
open fireplace, with iron crane and
kettles, was u surprising arrangement
of cooking stove mounted on kitch-
en- table My glance reverted to this
curious sight so often that our noun
tain hostess seemed constrained to ex-
plain.
"'You uns amt used to SEEM cook
stoves fixed up that way, reckon
she said alphabetically. Pap, he got
the cook stove down in town way las
May, and he didn' think bout the
stovepipe, and he didn' git huff to
reach up to that there hole in the
chimbly, so we uns jes' h'isted the
cook stove up on that there table till
he gifts time to go to town and git
some more stovepipe 'Tain't handy to
climb up on a cheer to cook, and l
wish to the land pap'd hurry hisself
and git to town arter that there stove
pipe. It'd be a heap handler to hev
that there cook stove down on the
groun'.'
"Of course we uns' agreed with the
good woman that her complaint was
well based, but we praised her clever
ness and originality in utilizing the
kitchen table. Probably not one wo-
man in 100000 would have ever sug-
gested that way out Of the domestic
ulty."-Detroit Free Press.

Is 1t All q DelusiOn2


Bonfort's Wine and Spirit Circu
lar, in it's editorial correspondence
from "The Whiskey Center" Gin
cinnati, has few remarks upon the
recent national organization of the
trade and the reasons therefor. 1t
is worth reading. Bonfort says:
Prohibition continues to raise it's
ugly head to strike, if possible, a
death blow to our business. 1t re-
mains with US to meet this attack
and drive the enemy from our path.
Only by intelligent coalition of our
forces can we insure success in the
fight that is before us. 1t is our
province TO teach the people the diff
ference between temperance (Which
everyone, be he whisky man or not,
advocates) and Prohibition. The
latter is the-growth of diseased,
warped mind, while the former en-
anates from cool, sound judgment
based on experience.
Therefore, it is infinitely the right
thing for us to fight Prohibition, be-
cause it is not only detrimental to
our business, but is the worst form
of intemperance.
A strong, concerted action is ex-
act1y what is needed, and for this
action there is no better headquar-
tiers than the National Wholesale
Liquor Dealers Association.
Of course this is all wrong, for
Prohibition don't prohibit, " you
know, Gust as much liquor is sold
under Prohibition as under free
run regine"
But ones deadly enemies are not
usually picked from neutrals or
friends. New Voice.
1t was twenty-one years ago May
Ist, that prohibition was adopted in
Kansas. Many towns celebrated
the event. Governor Stanley said:
Prohibition in Kansas has been
marked by very beneficial results,
and this is apparent to anyone who
will travel through Kansas and
through any of the license states
that may be selected and note the
difference in the types of young
men in the two states. There are
thousands of young men in Kansas
who never saw saloon, and will
avoid it, if for. no other reason, be-
cause it is under the ban of the law.
There are thousands of men who
would probably patronize the saloon
if sanctioned by law, but who shun
it since the law brands it as an Ish-
maelite among the legitimate enter
prises of the community"

"A Weak

Indigestion is often caused by over
eating. An eminent authority says
the harm done thus exceeds that from
the excessive use of alcohol. Eat all
the good food you want but don't over
load the stomach. A weak stomach
may refuse to digest what you eat.
Then you need good digestant like
Kodol, which digests your food with
out the stomach's aid. This rest and
the wholesome tonics KOdol contains
soon restore health. Dieting unneces-

GUAM'S REPORT

nanoes in Bad Way.

Washington, Dec 27.-The annual re-
port of Commander Seaton Schroeder,
governor of the island Of Guam, indicates
a rather serious condition in the island
finances owing to the failure of congress
to appropriate the sum asked for last
year. .t-..a~
Commander Schroeder reports that it
has been deemed prudent to stop all work
on public improvements until further ap-
preparations are made.
The value of the exports and imports
during the year has been respectively
$685. 59 and $35,165. The exports con-
sisted almost entirely of Mexican dollars.
Not a pound of copra has been exported
and neither cocoa or coffee has been pro-
duced in sufficient quantities to supply
the home market, owing to the slow re-
coveries from the effects of the hurricane
of 1900. .-.> --. -, 49,
The governor suggests that it would
be great boon if the department of
agriculture would establish an expert
mental station in the island.
The census Of the island, taken last
autumn. shows the total population to be
1876, of whom only 46 are foreigners, Ia
being citizens of the United States The
latter does not include officers and men
of the navy or civil employees temporarily
imported from the United States. Above
