Prohibition Don't Prohibit"

The enemies of prohibition, and ene-
mics of God and righteousness, are say
ing in Texas, as elsewhere, that 'pro-
hibition don't prohibit" Is it not
little strange that these law-breakers
should suddenly become so much in
terested in maintaining the law?
These gin-mill keepers, these whole
sale hell distributors, these gentlemen
brewers, who have been violating law
continually, suddenly wheel about and
are anxious for the law they fight so
hard to be kept sacred?
Yes, it is true that prohibition don't
prohibit" and never did, but this
crowd are bent on violating all prohibit
tory laws and tn en- turn around and
say cts failure"
They have law to prohibit murder,
yet there are reported twelve murder
trials at South McAlester this week.
You have a State law to prohibit
Sunday liquor selling, yet in San An
tonic these hell holes, called saloons,
are open every Sunday.
Why it it that your Governor can't
enforce law in San Ant ONTO? lie calls
out the military to enforce law at Aus
tin, and taxes the State thousands of
dollars to save brute negro from
lynching who has assaulted and muir
dered an innocent girl, yet the saloons
at San Antonio have been open on Sun
days for years and murdered many a
mothers son, contrary to law.
These sons of honest white working
men are entitled to as much considera-
ton as the negro brute who was hung
at Austin recently.
All this talk of prohibition don't
prohibit" from the DEVILS gang makes
me tired.
These same lawless fellows who stab
people through the back doors on Sun
day, before their counties voted prohi.
bition, are now running "clubs."
At Taylor the other day was told
that they were running "clubs," and
the old gang who were drunkards and
didn't know it are now sucking at the
CLUB"
These "clubs" are probably violating
the law continually, and ought to be
dubbed out of town.
At Sherman am told that they are
selling weak beer called "Frosty'
openly and all the rum sucking gang
are smiling. A drummer told me tina
this "Frosty" was regular beer.

Dumb Pets Particular Fondness for
Great Author.
Somewhat akin to the story OF the
pony and the pig in the Spectator of
March IL is the following narrative
in the life of Sir Walter Scott, illus
trating his fondness for animals and
their attachment to him. 1 find it in
a volume entitled "Stories of Remark
able Persons" by the late DIR. William
Chambers, who gives Sir Walters
son-in-law, Lockhart, as voucher for
the authenticity of the story.
cat Abbotsford, in the autumn of
1920, when large party, including Sir
Humphrey Davy, DR.. Wollaston and
Henry Mackenzie were sallying out
Scott on his pony, with Mazda gam
boiling about him-there was some
commotion and laughter when it was
discovered that little black pig was
frisking about and apparently resolved
to be one of the party for the day.
Scott tried to look stern. and cracked
his whip at the creature, but was in a
moment obliged to join in the gener-
al cheers. Poor piggy was sent home.
This pig says Lockhart, had taken,
nobody could tell how, a most senti-
mental attachment to Scott, and was
constantly urging his pretensions to
be admitted a regular member of his
tail along with the greyhounds and
terriers; but, indeed, remember him
suffering another summer under the
same sort of pertinacity on the part of
an affectionate hen. 1 leave the ex-

Pendent embroidery trimming is a
novelty-just long narrow strips of
fine embroidery dropping like a fringe

Where the bodice blouses over the

for UNDERLYING with little lace frill,
making it lock like a ace-edged bo-

With the linen shortwaist patterns
there come embroidered bands for the
collar, cuffs and front piece, and four
big embroidered buttons to match.
About the hest material for an all
around travelling gown is mohair,

British Admiral Cared Little for New

There was some disappointment
among the younger members of the
Aston set in New York when Admiral
Sir Cyprian Bridge, X C. B., refused
to permit himself to be lionized in a
social way. The admiral belongs to
that type of naval martinez which
believes exclusively in a gunpowder
diet as a necessity and combing bull
lets out of the hair after a battle as a
diversion. He is a Chesterfield in po-
likeness, but has rather cynical man
ner with women. His detestation of the
American who apes English manner
isms is SO marked that he becomes al
most rude in rebuke. He made the
usual conventional call at the British
embassy when he was in Washington,
but in his brief stay in New York he
could not be persuaded to make more
than one or two calls.

How to Dust a Room.

Soft cloths make the best busters.
In busting any piece of furniture, be-
gin at the top and dust down, wiping
carefully with the cloth, which can
be frequently shaken Many people
have no idea of what busting is to
accomplish, and instead of wiping off
and removing the dust, it is simply
flirted off into the air, and soon set
ties back again on the busted article.
If carefully taken up on a cloth, it
can be shaken out of a window into
the open air. 1t is much less work
to cover up furniture while sweeping
than to be obliged to clean the dust
out afterward. The blessing of plain
ness in decoration is appreciated by
the thorough housekeeper who at
tends to her own busting.
