copyright. 1903 by G. B. Lewis.]
I was country boy fourteen years
old when 1 went to pass the winter
with Aunt Mary and, do the chores
and 60 to school. Just previous to my
coming she had sold a piece of land
for $1,000, and as she did not believe
in banks she retained the money in the
house.
I had been with her about a month
when one afternoon a cousin living ten
miles away arrived with a horse and
buggy and reported that his wife was
at deaths door. Aunt Mary instantly
decided to return with him, and l was
asked to remain all night in the house
alone. It wasn't much of test Of
courage, for hardly farmhouse door
was bolted at night and no one could
remember when theft of any conse-
quence had been committed. 1 made
no objections and half an hour later
was left alone. Aunt Mary simply eau
toned me about fire.
I had the COW to feed and milk, the
chickens and pigs to look out for and
the firewood to get in, and was not
feeling bit lonely when night came
on. Just before dark saw some one
hanging about the gate, but the fact
gave me no uneasiness. The rule was
to feed every tramp who came along
and give him lodgings in the barn. and
none Of the fraternity had ever made
any trouble, The man, whoever he
was. did not come in, however, and I
gave him no further thought. l had
had my supper, put away the dishes
and was popping corn when the kitch-
eRdoor suddenly opened and in walk

around on the floor above for long
time. but it was long after daylight
before l dared move. | worked the
cords loose after awhile, and it was
just 8 o'clock when crept upstairs and
ran outdoors to give the alarm.
Aunt Mary came home at midafter-
noon to find half dozen neighbors at
the house and everything turned topsy
turvy The real sheriff had been there
and heard my story and gone in pur-
suit, but "Mr. Holt had got such a
long start that he was not captured
He was no doubt bad man and a

Bartell and said as he drew him to one

any room in the house where anything
like a tin box could be hidden.
In the parlor he simply gazed around,
speaking very kindly to me all the
while, but in the three bedrooms he
made close inspection of beds, blu.

only three favor the nomination OF
Cleveland in 1904 and none of these is

conclusive as to the situation than
any amount of newspaper talk could

a means of dealing with the liquor
problem, no fewer than II states of the
Union have followed it's example and
enacted similar statutes. OF these
only two besides Maine have persisted
in the prohibitory system, and they
are Kansas and North Dakota. All
the others have given it up for one
form or another of a license system
The two latest to give up prohibition,
Vermont and New Hampshire, were
among the oldest under that system
next to Maine. Vermont enacted it's
prohibitory law in 1853, just half a GEN.
tury before it's late repeal. New
HAMPSHIRE followed in 1855 as regards
distilled liquors and extended pro-
hibition to beer in 1873. Henceforth'
both Vermont and New Hampshire are
under the system of license with local
option. Maine may follow their eX-
ample, some day, but the signs that IL
will take that step in the near future
are hard to find. We do not under
stand that there is serious agitation OF
the question of a change in Kansas or
North Dakota.
