NOT PROHTBFTED.

Prohibition prohibits more or less in Vermont, but Dr. Ashbel P. Grinnell of
 Burlington in that State tells a doleful and startling story about the drug evil.
 He find that in the regular drug stores
 and in 160 of the general stores
 of the State S,S0O,00O doses of opium are sold every month, besides what is dis
 pensed in patent medicines and by the physicians. These figures would allow
 one and a half doses of opium every
 day in the year to every man and wo-
 man in the State who is over 21 years old. Dr. Grinnell says that notwith- standing the large consumption of
 liquor in this prohibition State his fig
 ures on the average amount of drugs consumed may be multiplied by five without reaching what he believes to be
 the actual amount used. He adds that the rapid increase in the number of
 those addicted to the drug habit and the growth of insanity during the last decade is more than coincidence and
 he calls attention to the close relation
 of the drug habit and criminal impulses. In considering solution of this prob lem Dr. Grinnell asks why it is that
 censors of public morals should be con- fined in their labors to the abatement of one evil and why legislative reformers should be limited in the exercise of their duties to suppressing one vice or to restricting the sale of but a very few
 of the drugs. narcotics and stimulants in common use.
 There is impressiveness in pr. Grin
 nell's figures and reason in his inquiry. Many evils are not receiving the atten- tion they ought to. For instance, the evil of eating too much.

4 GooD EXAMPLE, CHICAGO.

Chicago is a wicked place and there is much fraud there, but it is much to the credit of the place that those who run it are determined that there shall be no fraud in the sale of peaches. Chi cago has an ordinance that says that colored netting shall not be used over baskets of peaches, and the chief of police has plainly signified his purpose to see that the law is rigidly enforced by sending fair warning to fruit deal CTS.
 Those who have been influenced to buy poor peaches by the ruddy glow cast on them by colored netting will congratulate the people of Chicago on the care taken of them by their rulers. Of course these rulers may strain at gnats and swallow camels, but it is cheering to see them straining at any, thing that is fraudulent. It is some thing, and no little thing either, for a city to be known as place where peaches can be bought on their merits. And it may we'll be argued that the in fluence of purity in the peach trade will soon make itself felt in other matters.

THE FOOLISH MOROS.

Who are the Moros, that they should sass" the United States when the United States is generously trying to hand to them the benefits of Christian civilization? Nobody, of course, who should be permitted to look such gift horse in the mouth. And yet with fool ishness and malice. aforethought they are doing it. But they are going to get their much-needed lesson. General Chaffee thinks that an active campaign against the Moros in Mindanao is nec- essary in order to curb the growing op- position to United States authority. He has been directed to use his own dis cretion, and an aggressive movement against the Moros is expected.
 The more aggressive the better. We are in the aggressive business, and we might as we'll be thorough. It is pro- voking enough that the little brown people don't understand us as we un- derstand ourselves, but they can be made to, and when they have been made to those who remain alive will thank us for what we did for them. 1 Let us continue to bear our part of the white mans burden patiently and bravely and let us not forget that any body who kicks against the perform ance Is a little American.

That Tune.

It haunts me at morning, at noon and al
 night,
 In perfectly maddening way. would give great deal just to get the
 thing right, And the effort is turning me gray. It will tease and torment me for months
 yet to come, For somehow 1 can never connect One straight note with another in trying The tune that I cant recollect. It comes and it goes, just bar at a time, As elusive thing as can be; There's musical ring and a rhythmica
 chime
 That Is most fascinating to me; A swift-moving cadence that glides through
 my brain,
 Just in fragments not wholly correct; It is making me frantic. that heart-break
 ing strain. The tune that I cant recollect. An, the Hit and the swing that never can
 get
 An, the jingle, the melody sweet! It has clutched and possessed me com
 pletely, and yet It will never come to me complete. It hovers an instant and then 1t takes wing But if ever it lights I expect Somebody will kill me for trying to, sing The tune that I can't recollect.

HINKY DTNK ARRIVES.
He and His New Clothes are on Their
 Way to Saratoga.

He and His New Clothes are on Their
 Way to Saratoga.
 Attired in the latest fantasies of the sartorial genius of the First ward, Chi cago, Alderman Michael Kenna, other wise noWn as ''Hinky Dink,'' created a sensation as he strolled in Broadway yesterday. The first ward statesman wore white flannel suit, bronze col ored shoes, a wide-brim Panama hat, a pale pink silk shirt, low cut waistcoat of lavender and a long flowing green tie with yellow ends.
 A diamond, suggesting a warship's searchlight, flashed in the eyes of the wondering throng. A mopocle on his left eye gave aristocratic wrinkles to his eyebrow and cheek. Dark blue smoke floated from a big perfecto. In his coat lapel was bunch of corn flow \ CTS of sufficient size to make a June bride blush. A bamboo stick, with a gold head, swung from, a carefully poised forefnger
 Indifferent to rude stares and loud comments, "Hinky Dink'' continued an his way in placid content. From Twen- ty-third to Forty-second streets the stroll continued in growing triumph, and when the Hon. "Hinky Dink'' boarded street car to return to the Fifth Avenue Hotel he heaved a sigh of satisfaction for the impression he had made on New Workers, and another sigh of sorrow for having shown only
  wardrobe.
 ''I blew in for a bit of a hurrah," said he. Life in de First ward is deader than doughnuts in de summer. wants to swim with de tony bunch. l come on to wade in high society"
 MT. "Hinky Dink" lighted another perfecto and said he had more clothes in his trunks and they would make the smart gazabos ia New York stare" Contemplating the crowded rows of benches in Madison Square for minute in silence, the Hon. "Dink" continued:
 ''I hear all de smart fry is up at Sar- atoga. That's where me friend Bath house John bucked de high life two years ago. 'Bathhouse' is in Colorado these days doing tall stunts with his opera voice. You never heard Bath house sing dat song of his, Dear Mid night of Lover That's swell! Bath house is all right, but he's got nothin' like the rousseau I've got locked in me trunks"
 "IIinky Dink' left Chicago with the intention of spending several days in New York. He changed his plans after he had been here few hours. De towns empty" was his comment, and in the afternoon he left for Saratoga. With him went five ruge trunks, full of wearing apparel of all imaginable col ors.
 Before leaving Chicago "Hinky Dink'' went to lighthouse John's' tailor, and told him to Ego ahead and TO something that'll make lem all blink
 The tailor who made 'Bathhouse'' fa- nous went ahead. Amazing results fol- lowed. Thirty suits were delivered the day before 'EIinky Dink" got his pass

General Corbin, who has just return- ed to Washington from trip to Yel- lowstone Park, tells how some bears in the park raided the Fountain House. T investigated myself, and found that the bears had broken into the kitchen of the hotel and simply ruined all the stores, leaving the hotel and it's guests without food enough for a meal, It was sidesplitting to listen to the Chinese cook attempt to describe the visit of the bears He became excited, splut- tered, grinned and squeaked, and went through all the supposed manoeuvres of the beasts in his endeavor to explain the damage that had been done. It was really no laughing matter, for the pro- prietor of the hotel and Colonel Pitcher sent men to punish the intruders' '' '.Would they kill the bears?" General Corbin was asked. "Oh, no; they would only whip them. They would take a big bull whip and lash the bears sound ly Experience has taught, so the park people say, that a good sound thrashing from a bull whip will last bear, either brown or grizzly, for the remainder of the season."
