within his power to destroy the legal
lied saloon in this great nation. In this
great army arrayed against the saloon
there may not only be use for the in
fantry but also for the artillery, and
therefore the one should not interfere
with the other, or throw out stumbling
blocks to hinder the work of either OF
these organizations. There is doubtless
need Of both, and the aim of both
should be to work and vote for the de-
struction of our common enemy, which
is the legalized liquor traffic.
One thing is quite certain that is,
that every distiller, brewer and liquor
seller votes only for tax and license
parties: not one Of these characters
can be found in the ranks of the Pro-
hibitionists. II the old adage. "Tell me
the company you keep and will tell
you who you are," Is true, then It GER
'ainly is time for every Christian and
hnti-saloon voter to get down and out
Of all tax and license political parties;
for all tho liquor sellers and saloon
keepers in the nation vote only for tho
tax and license parties.
1t is quite reasonable for all men to
cay that every Christian should prayJfor
,ods blessing to rest upon the things
he prays for. And I honestly think
you would nave to go q long distance
Lofore you could find a Christian man
to pray that God would bless the eff
forts made to legalize the saloons by
high tax or licence laws. Then IL they
will not pray that way can they ex-
cuse themselves 4 for, voting that way?
Most assuredlyy not. Stop voting for
tax and license and constantly praying
for the death of the trafic.
Our Ohio Dow tax law is in direct
violation of our state constitution, and
was enacted in order to retain the
votes Of such men as George,P. Cox,
the leader Of the saloon party II 1hi0.
and every loyal temperance man and
Christian voter should turn in disgust
from any political party that will thus
betray our homes and fresides, to the
deadly liquor traffic. ,ro..t e,,r...
Friends and fellow citizens: It does
seem that as long, as Christians pray
and preach for the destruction Of this
deadly trafic they should vote the
same way, and under no circumstances
cast another ballot for any party that
proposed to give legal permit to the
traffic by the payment of $3.50 a year
for each saloon. No, indeed, II the
traffic is the fee to humanity and Chris
tian civilization which 1t is charged
with, no Christian voter should cast his
ballot in favor OF taxing the -trafic.
even II they pay one hundred times
more than they pay, now, which would
be an enormous sum Of money. ',
No, no; a moral wrong such as the
selling Of Intoxicating liquors for bev-
erage purposes. has no claim for legal
protection upon any terms or at any
price. Vote only for the death of the
liquor trafnc; no permit upon any
terms or at any price should be the
verdict Of all Christian voters at the
ballot box. In the, ranks Of the Prohi-
bition party there is no room for such
men as Bishop Potter. All such men
belong to the saloon crowd.

Chicago newspapers, usually so
keen and alert in the business Of
newsgathering, arc hanging their
heads in shame over the fact of prac-
tically being "scooped' at the time of
the Iroquis fire by that great news
gathering agency, the Associated
Press. 1t was hours after the occur
renee OF the fire that the enormity Of
the gfastly calamity percolated into
the Chicago editorial mind, and it was
not until 8 o'clock, six hours after the
fire broke out, that the first newspaper
extra with a hurried story of the holo-
caust, appeared on the streets;

Kangaroos use their hands very
readily to hold food In and to put 1t to
their mouths. AS their fore legs are 30

when able to secure a large bunch Of

drops, and the pair may be seen each
nibbling at the salad held In their
hands. one, so TO speak, 'one door'
above the other. In "Alice In Wondsr-
land" the lizard is always making
notes on stats and then trying to rub
them out again with his fingers. Many
lizards feet are so like hands that II
is rather surprising that they are only
used for running and climbing. But
that is the main purpose TO which
lizards apply them. The slow, delib-
crate clnsping and unclasping OF
chameieon's feet look like the move
ments which the hands OF sleep
walker might make were he trying to
creep down the banisters. The chame-
Icons are almost deformed hands. yet
they have a certain superficial resem-
blance to the feet OF the parrots, which
more than other birds use the foot for
many OF the purposes OF hand when
feeding.

mots--hod their food. usually In both
paws. is to learn lesson In the dex-
ferrous use OF hands without thumbs.
Rats and mice do not, as rule.
"clinch" what they hold. but merely
support It in their paws, the move
ments being much less human than
they appear. Nothing more readily sug-
gests the monentary impression that
a pretty little monkey is remotely "a
man and a brother than when he
stretches out his neat little palm, fln-
gers and thumb, and with all the move
ments proper to the civilized mode OF
greeting insists on shaking hands. But
no one feels in the least inclined to
grasp the clawed dtgits Of any Of the
rodents which use their paws TO hold
food. They are only holders" not
hands.-London Spectator.

what will be the effect when society

The results of a spread of the strik-
ing idea into religious matters would
be awful. Suppose the husbands who
want to sleep Sunday mornings should
plan concerted movement Indeed,
suppose the preachers themselves
should demand more pay and shorter
sermons. But the results of carrying
the idea into the religious domain
are too awful to contemplate.

Once upon time the name of James
town must have been very sharply
shortened Within the memory of
many people now living James was
pronounced "Jeems:" in fact. we be-
lieve that that was the accepted pro
nunciation Of our Virginbin forefa-
theirs. But Jim" must have been the
diminutive of "Jeems" as well as of
James: at least we judge so because
what is popularity known as ''the jim.
son weed" really is the jamestown
weed.
Nor is there any reason to suppose
that inis contraction was made jeer-
ingly or sneeringly. More probably II
grew into use "jess So" anil we find
intelligent Americans to whom it has
never occurred that there is any con-
ncction whatever between jamestown
and Jimson. All the same, the au.
thorities say that "Jimson" Is ''short'
for the name OF the place where the
English made their first permanent set.
tlement in what is now the United
States and where the Old Dominion's
first capital was located.
The jimson weed. however. is not
native plant, but probably came to us
from South America or Asia. 1t is
question how II got to jamestown. but
we believe II IL conceded that it is not
indigenous TO Virginia. If 1t was de-
liberately and designedly imported, 1t
must have been because of itp medic
inal value; certainly not for its odor.
which is vile; certainly not for its flow
ers and leaves, because they do not

dicinal value. II may not have had that
