Pigeon-Hole and looking out at a Tin
Roof had lost all Rarity and Charm for
Horace.
He had gazed into the barren Future
and made up his mind to Marry, even
if he had to choke some Nice Girl in
order to force her to say yes" He
was all keyed up for MatrImony and
she next thing to do was to choose the
Lucky Bride.
Horace had done more or less re-
hearsing and he was wise to the Fact
that it is just as easy to love a Girl
who has the Coin as it is to get dippy
over the Honest Working Girl. Some
Men imagine that the Foxy Play is to
grab off something that never owned
any Sunbursts and Sable Wraps, and
probably she will De satisfied with De-
partment Store Turqoises and Imita-

But Horace observed that these who
never had been strong enough to throw
on the Lugs while they We're living at
Home, were the very ones who put
crimps into the Bank Account before
the Honeymoon played out.
Horace often suspected that some of
them looked up merely to get s. Whack
at the Finery. But then, Horace was
a regular old Cynic.

DRUNKARDS PAUSE
Makes London Saloonkeepers
Live in Fear-Excites
Carrie Nations Envy.

LONDON, Jan. II. = The greatest
feature of the new year is the licensing
act, which went into operation on Jan.
l. The newspapers yesterday and to-
day printed columns as to how the
new law, which carries terror to the
hearts of habitual drunkards, was APP
piled.
The law keeps the propfietors of
saloons from the opening to the clos
ing hour in condition of nervous APP
prehenSion. 1t invests the police with
power that even Carrie Nation might
envy. and promises to overwhelm the
police magistrates with a new class of
work. The principal malcontent now
perhaps is the haAftual drunkard. For
merly the police could not touch such
a man or woman, no matter how drunk
they might be. unless they were also
disorderly. Now, under the new law,
anyone found drunk in any public
place may be arrested, prosecuted and
punished.
Three convictions within twelve
months constitute AN habftuaI drunk
ard" Already from all parts of Eng
land reports are coming afs-habitual
drunkards being blacklisted for three
convictions. the law being retroactive.
The following Is typical example OF
the application Of the new law:
you will go to prison for month"
said Stafford magistrate To- man
arraigned for drunkenness Yesterday.
''You will be placed on the blacklist,
and while in prison you wiIlsbe photo
graphed. A copy of this will sent
to all license holders in Stafford and
the surrounding district. Any publican
serving you with drink. irJhe next
three years IS liable to heavy fine.'
A London magistrate, in sentencing
a woman habitual drnnkard today,
said.
IF you attempt to get served. you
viii be fined. If anyone treats you he
or she will be fined. If you get liquor
in the next three years twill be at
your peril"
From these expressions Of two diff
ferent magistrates, in the case of a
man and woman. the fate of anyone
who may be convicted of drunkenness
three times in q year will be under

So Horace learned from his respected

because he loved the Girl.
After he had answered all the Cues
tons he had to sit and listen to that
well known Monologue which is the
Prize Speciality of the Self Made Party
who began Life by working for ST per

Father said that Young Men nowadays

stood. So Ehe act also protects children.
Anyone found drunk in charge of a
child is liable to fine of $40 or
months Imprisonment. Several wom-
er1z'in London and the provinces have
already been punished under this
clause,
The act is causing dismay in the
night clubs which abound in Soho and
the East end. They are bogus clubs
and are run merely for the purpose of
eevading the licensing law. Heretofore
the punishment of violation of the
old law only amounted to a fine, which
was cheerfu1ly paid. Now that impris-
Onment is provided, many of them have
already closed in despair, and scores
of others will be closed within a week.
The act applies equally to the social
West end clubs, and there are stringent
regulations in regard to registering a
club and depositing a copy of it's rules
for permission to sell intOxicantS. Ere
Quent cases of drunkenness on the
premises have created such apprehen-
sion that every club in London and
the provinces is overhauling it's house
rules and subcommittee have been
comforting with the solicitors for the
club in view of this for the past few
weeks .h
Clubs Of this kind, however, are not
aimed at, but anyone may get infor-
nation as to what goes on in a club.
Anyone, on payment of fee of shill-
ing, may inspect the rules of a club,
which are deposited with the authori-
ties, and every club is taking precau-
lions in this matter.
The honorary secretary and treasur-
err of the Blackburn Liberal club re-
signed yesterday rather than bear the
heavy responsibilities entailed on him
by the act. The committee having the
matter in charge thereupOn resolved to
discontinue the sale of intoxicating
drinks, and forego the profit derived
therefrom.
Another clause in the act provides
ready means by which husbands may
escape drunken wives, and wives
drunken husbands. Habitual drunken
ness is now made ground for legal
separation. Many have already OBJ
tanned relief from their marital ties
through this section, the first two cases
in London being Sir G. A. Lawson and
street cleaner, both of whom were
afflicted with drunken wives.
The saloonkeepers complain bitterly
as to what is to be the test of drunk
enness, but their trade society in Lon
don has sent a circular to all public
houses, recommending that they go
even beyond the requirements of the
act 1t suggests that publicans shall
not serve even a sober man if he is in
company with drunken man until the
| latter has left the house.
The circular goes on to say that they
should not allow any bad language, nor
drink with any customer at the bar
nor in any part of the house while on
duty at the bar. They must not have
any money whatever on any part OF
their person. Some public house keep
ers are already hiring men whose spe-
cial duty Is to keep their eye on sus-
poets who may become intoxicated, and
suppress bad language. betting. etc.

her everything she would need.
After travelling the Beat for a month
and putting down Names in his Pocket
Memorandum Book, he drew a Red
Mark around the Name of Lucille and
the same Day he sent her some Orchids

Soon after that, the. Girl at Central
began to know all about the Progress
OF the Affair. Lucille was all around
the Neighborhood assuring People that
although Horace had been lovely to
her, and she esteemed him as one of
her dearest and kindest Friends, there
was really and truly nothing doing
Consequently, every one could see how
it was going to turn out.
Horace had fondly supposed that the
Recipe for becoming engaged was SIM

could Hold Hands without using Brute
Force, and then wait for the Psyche
logical Moment. So one Night when
Lucille looked up into his Eyes and
said he was different from any other

Ben-Hur Flour

Buy a sack of Ben Hur
Flour and see how much
longer it lasts than the
flour you have been using.
Then figure out how many
sacks less Ben-Hur Flour
would be required to sup
ply your family for a year
and you will see what
Ben-Hur can do for you as
a money saver.
Economy is only one of
the good things which
Ben-Hur Flour will bring
to your home. Light
bread which keeps fresh
and moist for a long per-
iod, dainty rolls that eou
never saw the equal of be-
fore, and the choicest cake
and pies are the results of
it's use. A poor cook does
better with Ben-Hur than
with any other flour. A
good cook who has worked
hard to make light bread
and tempting dainties
from flour which did not
have the goodness in it
will be delighted with the
magical results obtained
by Ben-Hur.
When we buy wheat to
make Ben-Hur Flour we
select the choicest grain
grown in the great North
west. Before this wheat
is crushed it is thorough
ly washed by special ma
chinery. After it is made
into flour it is handled
and packed in inspected
cars by intelligent men of
lifelong experience and
every barrel is tested be-
fore it leaves our mills.
All this because we want
every pound of Ben-Hur
Flour to increase our rep
utation for quality and
economy. Ben-Hur Flour
costs you no more than
the inferior kind. If it
isn't better you need not
buy it again.

Of the suit of the state of Kansas
against the state of Colorado over the
right to use the waters of the Arlzan-

the suit might affect the farmers living

Senator Smith relieved them Of this ap-

The suit of the state Of Kansas

equity for permanent injunction
against Colorado, restraining that state
from granting any more charters or
other rights to take water out of the
Arkansas river. The suit win not az

1t is to prevent the taking of water
from now on, not for riparian lands, but
for lands back on the upland, wholly
non-riparian in character, and many
miles from the river. depriving true
riparian owners in Kansas of the water
to which they are entitled for the bene-
