History's Great Naval Hero.

Paul Jones was n naval adventurer,
whose real name was John Paul. He
was born in Kirkcudbright, Scotland,
son of a gardener; took to the sea,
engaged in the slave trade, settled In
Virginia, threw in his lot with the
colonists and against the mother coun-
try, and offered his services as a sea
captain in the war with a ship Of
eighteen guns; he in 1873 infested the
British coast and made descent on
the shores OF his native country; his
sympathies were with the French in
their struggles for liberty, and he
fought in their service as well, making
the proud Forth quake at his bellying
sails" and capturing two British war
vessels off Marlborough Head. He
died in Paris, where he languished in
poverty, but the National Assembly
granted him Ceremonial funeral" J"
attended by a deputation; "as good"
reflects Carlyle in his apostrophe to
him, "as good had been the natural
Presbyterian kirk bell, and six feet Of
Scottish earth, among the dust of thy
loved ones"

In some countries the people eat
ants. In Sweden they mix them with
rye and favor the stew with brandy.
They make a dish Of pressed ants, and
soften it with milk until it looks like
our chocolate.
In Africa the children roast large
white ants and eat them by the hand
full like popcorn. Travellers who have
eaten them say that they taste like
almond paste.
Many people cook and eat the locust.
They boil them in salty water, roast
them in oil or fry them in butter
Sometimes they dry and grind the To-
Gusts and make the powder into bread
by adding little water.
The Mexicans are fond OF roasted
spiders. They also dry the eggs of q
certain water fly, grind them into flour
and sell it by the sack. This flour is
sweet and much used for cakes
These are only a few of the many
queer things eaten by the boys and
girls of other lands. The children of
our own country often eat roasted
grasshoppers, and say that they taste
like parched horse corn Or maize.

Startling Facts from HoIyoke, Mass.

Last year, or in 1901, at Holyoke, Mass,
| had some of my friends stationed in Of
fees opposite six of the worst hotels in that
CITY to count the number who went in
there on several different Sundays and hol-
idays,-days on which the sale of liquor is
prohibited by the high license law. The
hotels counted do but little legitimate hotel
business. Their main business was rum

Sunday and holidays to bona fide guests,
Chose who resort to their place for FOOD
or lodging), but the Supreme Court of
Massachusetts has declared that on Sun
days and holidays under the law they can
only sell to guests at their meals or in their
rooms, but cannot sell over the bar on
Sundays or holidays to any one. Here are
the results of counting those who went in
on several Sundays and holidays that
had counted, although in not single case
is the record complete for the day, as some
of my counters could not stay all evening,
and others went home for dinner and sup
per. But here is the number actually
counted which they are ready to go into
court and testify to-

HIGH LICENSE CONSTANTLY VIOLATED.

Second, the Massachusetts high license
law is constantly and flagrantly violated.
This is the testimony of all who have made
any Investigations on the subject. Proba-
bly, ninety-nine out of every hundred Mas
sachusetts liquor dealers violate those pro-
visions of the high license law which pro-
hibit them selling to minors, to drunkards,
or to persons who have been drunk within
six months; and many of them also violate
those other provisions of the high license
law which says they shall not sell on Sun
DAYS, or holidays, or before six O'Clock IN
the morning, or after eleven o'clock at
night. We have had boys fifteen years of
age so drunk, lying on the the street, that
the policemen had to pick them up and
carry them in their arms to the police sta
ton, and when they sobered up they ad-
mitted that they got their liquor at sa-
loon. l saw two boys in Springfield,
Mass.,-one about seventeen, the other
about nineteen,-go into hotel saloon. l
followed them in and saw them buy Ii
quor, pay for it, and drink it standing at
the bar, and no question was raised as to
their age; and that was in one of the best
hotels in Springfield. If they do that at
one of the best hotels, what will they not
do in the cheaper and less responsible ho-
tells?

Saloons Worse than Low Dives.

There are doubtless some low dives in
Vermont, but in Massachusetts we have
the low dives and also the open saloons.
Low dives, or ''blind tigers" are bad, but
ten "blind tigers" are not as dangerous as
one tiger with his eyes open. l would be
much more fearful for the safety of my
two children on the street if there was one
tiger with his eyes open, that could see
them and Immediately rush upon them to
tear them 10 pieces, than of ten blind til
gers cropping their way around blindly in
the dark. Yes, friends, it is easier to keep
out of the way of ten blind tigers than of
one tiger with his eyes open.
By getting rid of prohibition you would
not get rid of single evil that you now
have, but you would simply add to your
Orleans County monitor. [volume] (Barton, Vt.) 1872-1953, 1903-01-26

present evils, the open saloon. Are you
ready to vote for more evils to be brought
upon you than you now have?
Under high license there are more low
dives and less prosecuting of low dives by
temperance people than under prohibition.
Why? Because where there are plenty of
open licensed saloons in town, the temper
ance people take little or no interest in
prosecuting the low dive keeper for selling
jug of whiskey day, while the open Ii
censed saloon is selling a barrel a day or
more under the authority and permission
of the voters of the town.
Orleans County monitor. [volume] (Barton, Vt.) 1872-1953, 1903-01-26
Saloons Supply Liquor to Dives.

Another reason why many high license
liquor men do nothing to stop the low
dives is because they supply the low dives
with the liquor which they sell. The trou
BILE with the man Just referred to was that
he did not furnish the liquor to the low
dive near him, but he bought his supply of
liquor of some other saloon keeper, hence
he chafed under it; but had the low dive
keeper bought his liquor of this licensed
liquor dealer, there would have been no
fretting and chatting about it. And there
are instances where men paying a big Ii
cense fee have felt compelled to start two
or three illegal places for the sale of liquor
in order to sell enough to be able to pay
their big license fee, and do a more profit
able business. Hence they do not prose-
cute the dives.
A third reason why some high license Ii
quor dealers do not complain of low dives
is that sometimes these dives have been
known to go to high license dealer and
offer to pay part of his license fee for the
privilege of selling liquor near him with
out opposition. And the low dive also thus
helps the high-toned saloon or hotel by
supplying liquor to the old buns that the
fine saloon man does not want IN his place.
Take for instance, small town where the
law allows but one saloon. One man gets
the license, but there were two men who
applied for that license. The one who fail
ed to get the license goes to the one who
got it and says: "Now am going to sell
liquor here anyhow, ;. but l will do the
square thing by you; will pay part of
your license fee. You won't prosecute me
and l can easily fix the police authorities
so they will let me alone;" and SO the Ii
censed liquor dealer never complains of or
prosecutes the low dives.
If high license dealer should complain
of low dive near him. then the dive keep
er could easily take his jug and two glasses
and go over on another street and start up
''ioint" somewhere else. But the high
license dealer cannot do that. He has 10
stay where he is. He cannot so easily move
if complained of. He has an expensive bar
and fixtures, hence he must stay where he
is. Hence l say that under high license,
the licensed liquor dealers never prosecute
the illegal dealers.
