Mrs. Nation In Charleston.

Charleston, Special Mrs. Carrie
Nation arrived here at midday from
Columbia, where she has been making
a study Of the operations OF the dis
pensary law. She had not been in
Charleston Is minutes before she was
in a blind tiger, almost opposite to
the st. John hotel, where she is STOP
ping. She made a close examination
Of the place and then called for whis.
key and beer. The proprietor knew
her to be the saloon-smasher and he
was fearful Of trouble. He told her
that he did not handle beer or whis.
key, and the great temperance advo-
cate was not foolish enough to believe
him, and she told him that she did
not accept his word. She pointed to
q beer sign which adorned the place
and asked why the sign was in place
II beer was not sold and the keeper
replied that it was an old sign, ante
dating the ~dispensary law. Again she
let the blind tiger know that she knew
that he was not telling her the truth.
Mrs. Nation said that she visited &
number Of blind tigers at Columbia
and these places were of the same sort
as are found in parts of Kansas. She
regretted the non-enforcement Of the
dispensary law, although she believed
that liquor should not be sold at all.
She commended upon the number Of
whiskey advertisements which she saw
in passing along the street on her way
to the st. John hotel. She will spend
several days in Charleston, but she
said that she will not do any smash
ing here. She has already paid $4,000
in fines this year for breaking up
saloons. She registered at the hotel

Baths For Palms.

"Those whose palms persist in hav-

says a woman who has always been

"a sponge dipped in warm water and

thoroughly saturated. In this way no
