A little more than a year ago the
Rev Mr.. Pearson was elected sheriff
of Portland, Me-, upon platform call
ing for the strict enforcement of the
prohibition law. Recently the reverend
sheriff made report upon his first
years work. Oddly enough he takes
especial pleasure in pointing to the
sum of the fines collected-some $780,
O00-rather than to the suppression, or
repression, of the traffic. Indeed, he
does not claim that the sale of spirit
uous liquors has been entirely stopped;
only that the law is more generally
obeyed now than heretofore, owing to
the vigilance of himself and his five
deputies. Portland is a city somewhat
smaller than Savannah, the last CEN
sus giving It a few more than $4,000
population, practically all white.
An amusing, and at the same time
interesting feature of Sheriff Pearsons
report deals with the devices employed
to evade the prohibition law. He finds
that Yankee ingenuity" as he calls
it, has been remarkably busy with de-
and other liquors. In a drug store he
found a soda fountain with a wonder
full faucet which, turned to the right,
would give out only harmless soft"
drink, but turned to the left it's flow
was rye whisky. A man had con-
structed a coil of pipes to fit around his
body, and the coil contained his stock
in-trade of whisky. A woman had
cradle so arranged that she could rock
her baby in it, but if customer for
a drink happened along she could pro-
duce any one of half dozen kinds
of beverages from under the little in
nocent's resting place. The sheriff
found also several mattresses whose
chief filling was whisky and beer A
carpenters tool chest was found to be
three-fourths false the false part COM
prising whisky reservoir. Another
device was a tank constructed $50 as
to be Worn with a long coat" Hollow
canes, umbrella handles and the like
were numerous and ingeniously de-
vised. China NEST eggs" filed with
whisky We're sold, and beer dispensed
from milk cans was a common thing.
These were few of the subterfuges
resorted to for the purpose of evading
the law. In addition there were also
the usual cellar and second-story blind
tigers that are to be found probably
wherever prohibition laws are on the
statute books. Sheriff Pearson said
he had no doubt he would he able ~
control the cellar and upstairs traf-
fic, but feared the pocket pedders'
would be very hard to eliminate.

The late Sir John Stainer, one of
England's most celebrated musicians
and composers, was once staying in a
small Swiss village, and the English
clergyman was on the outlook for Il
musician to assist at the service, says
the Youths Companion.
Stainer was in the office of the hotel
when the clergyman found him, and
started the conversation with, do you

The service proceeded satisfactorily,
but the congregation at the close list

Capt Coghlan, formerly of the
cruiser Raleigh. is at present COM
mandant at the New York navy yard,
In that capacity he will be brought
prominently to the front in the naval
reception to Admiral Prince Henry of
Germany. Capt. Coghlan will have to
call on the Prince, and the Prince will
have to return the visit in compliance
with naval etiquette. The embarrass-
ing feature of the matter is that II was
Capt. Coghlan who created such a
furry some time ago by singing "Hoch
der Kaiser" shortly after the return of
the Raleigh from Manila, where there
had been some little uneasiness about
the attitude of the German fleet under
Admiral Won Diederich. Having lam
pooned the Emperor-for which he was
reprimanded. by the Secretary of the
Navy-Capt. Coghlan would hardly be
the most available person to greet the
Emperor's brother. IT has been sug-
gested that Capt. Coghlan will apply
for leave of absence shortly before
the arrival OF Henry. and thus take
himself out of the programme. The
leave would be speedily granted, it is
said. .-,..

English language than others who have
always been held up as models in that
particular. The Chicago man was
probably measuring by the standard of

In a Pennsylvania town recently a
man and his wife died of smallpox.
Tracing the origin of the disease, the
doctor found that it had been con-
tracted through handling soiled paper
money that had been in a smallpox
family. There is now an epidemic Of
smallpox in Pennsylvania. and the idea
has been advanced that one of the most
prolific sources of distribution of the
germs is the filthy one dollar and two
dollar bills. The government and the
banks of issue should get together and
arrange some plan by which no bill
should ever be reissued from either the

s 1t is so tickle, the public. The idol it
sets UP today. tomorrow lies in atoms
under it's feet. Here is. where the heart
break often comes to an actress.
Fame, money, everything the world
counts as success, cannot atone for the
inevitable end, when theater-goers seek
out new faces and forget the old ones.
a writer sends out his books as long
as he is able to hold a pen. The pub
lie cares nothing for his gray hairs or
stopped shoulders. People look at the
pictures painted by an. artist, not at
his personality. The actor is himself
the picture; which cannot in too great
a degree depart from his physique.
There are exceptions to this-the
truly great people of the stage who
hold the esteem and love of their au-
diences to the very end. These, how
ever, are not the people in the ranks,
but The great officers. One cannot
judge the profession by their success.
The gir who wishes to go on the
stage must ask herself whether she
has the courage and the will to meet
the obstacles. Then. too, she should
be sure there is the little lamp burn
ing inside. Finally, what is it all
WORTH?
