FROM AFIELD.

Germany is paying $3.50, 100000 a year
for beer and other alcoholic stlmu-
Iants.
Justice Greer, Of the United States
supreme court, has said: If loss
Of revenue should accrue to the Unit
ed States from a diminished consump-
ton Of ardent spirits, she will be the
gamer a thousandfold in the health,
wealth and happiness Of the people"
For some time unfermented grape
Juice has had a conspicuous place on
the table Of Emperor William Of Ger
many, and, following his lead, II is be-
ing used on numerous other tables Of
German mobiles. At first It was i'm
ported, but the supply is now being
made in Germany.
An exhibit in the Transportation
building at the 81. Louis fair furnished
a splendid illustration of the necessity
for eternal vigilance" The Baptist
Missionary society had on exhibition
one of their Gospel cars, and by some
interesting coincident Of fate. or the
exposition management Immediately
Joining the car was a carload Of beer.

TEMPERANCE IN MAINE.
SEINE Facts and Figures Taken from
Congressman LittleAeld's
Address.

From an address by Hon. Charles (.
Littlsnsld, congressman from Maine. and
one OF the greatest friends Of temperance
In our national legislative body, the
Dial Of Progress gives the following
data:
There we're. in the year 1900, 2S6.67s
United States taxpayers In connection
with distilled and fermented liquors, or
one for every 322 persons. II Maine
had the same proportion, she would
have 2,15G, instead OF 1924, or nearly
twice what abe has. Illinois, the state
which paid the largest amount Of in
ternal revenue to the United States on
account Of distilled and fermented IL
quors (S44, 400. .765.1D had, in 1900, 20
800 tax players, or one for every 22s
persons. Maine. TO be in proportion,
should have 3,032, or about two and
half times what she has. Massachu-
setts has one taxpayer for every 1852 per-
sons. For the purpose Of comparison,
[ take the four states paying the
largest amount OF internal revenue on
account OF distilled spirits and fer
mented liquors:

One Of the reliable indications OF
the thrift and prosperity of a people is
he amount OF its savings In 1850
Maine had no savings banks; she now
has deposited in her savings banks $780,
1851. While she ranks only thirteenth
In population among the states of
the union, there are only six that out
rank her in the amount Of deposits, and
1nly seven whuich have a large num-
Der Of depositors.
Illinois. with about seven times the
population Of Maine, has $4,000, 900 less
deposits.
Kentucky has no savings deposits
Ohio, with nearly six times the popu-
lation Of Maine. has s22 ,OOO, 900 less de-
posits.
Pennsylvania, with nine times the
population Of Maine, has only 10000
300 more deposits.
In other words, Maine has in her saw
Ings banks 1892 for every inhabitant.
illinois has only s13.43; Kentucky, none;
Ohio, s10.71; Pennsylvania, S16.72.
These figures are made more significant
by the fact that during the last two
decades the accumulatons Of Maine
nave been sent to the west for Invest
ment, steadily, continuously and rela-
lively TO her means, in a prodg gious
amount. In these investments the
losses have been heavy. Notwithstand-
ing this, her savings deposits have In
creased $4,000, 900 in the last 3S years,
md while her population since 1850 has
Increased only 20 per cent, her velua-
lion per capita has increased 252 per
cent.
In Illinois the increase Of insane was
500 per cent: In Kentucky, the increase
was ia per cent. In Ohio the increase
was I'll per cent. In pennsylvania the
increase was "a per cent In Maine the
Increase was 104 per cent
From 1850 to 1890 the percentage Of
paupers increased IN Illinois 17s per
cent; in Kentucky, 173 per cent; in Ohio.
1873 per cent; in Pennsylvania II re-
mained practically the same, while in
Maine the percentage has decreased 245
per cent
Massachusetts, is nearer to Maine in
ocation, and in social and moral condi-
lion may be thought to be more near
ly parallel. She is a local option state,
with license as rule in her large cities.
In 1898 she had 7.454 prisoners, or 80
for every 10000 people. while Maine
had Sal, or 13 for every 10000 people.

The longer a man studies women

Wise is the girl who can tell when a

A man may be able to read woman

When the devil can't find any other

When a girl keeps on buying more

FACTS ABOUT EARLY ROADS.
First American Steam Railway, Six
teen Miles Long, Used to
Haul Coal.

The first steam railroad in operation
in this country was used by the Del
aware and Hudson Canal company in
1929 to carry coal from its mines to
the canal for shipment to New York.
The track was l6 miles long. The
rails. of rolled iron one-half by two
and one-quarter inches, were spiked,
broadside down, to hemlock joists
laid Oh cross ties ten feet apart. The
engine in its trial trip made ten miles
an hour.
The Baltimore and Ohio was the
first American road to organize on an
extensive system. Begun in 1923, it
had in 1885 a track mileage OF l15.
The first trains between New York
and Philadelphia ran on the Camden
and Amboy, which road was begun
in 1882 and completed in 1887, and is
now part of the Pennsylvania railroad
system.
The Pennsylvania was chartered in
1916. co2ftr"etion was begun in the
following year and the road was
opened in 1854 Trains to Chicago
were first run over this road in 1858,
fact which lends added interest to
the present triumph over distance and
time in the 1S-hour schedule between
New York and Chicago.
The first western state to possess
railroad was Michigan, in 1886. llli-
rois. mississippi and Indiana followed
in 1889 and 1912. Railroading in
California began in 1856 and in the
COS seven OF our western states fol
lowed Arizona had no railroad prior
to 1879. and OklahonV gave no pastur
age to the iron horse until 1883.
In the pioneer days of railroading it
was sometimes necessary for the con-
tuetor to run forward over the roofs
Of the cars TO shout orders to the en-
gineer Travelling at night was gen
orally avoided. though one road adopt

the locomotive fiat car loaded with
sand, on which bonfire was kept
burning as a headlight. On some early
lines horses were used to help the
trains up grades. so that the cry get
a horse may be of earlier date than
is supposed.
In 1898 Germany had 10000 miles of
railroad; Great Britain 21 600; France
$4,000; Russia, 260OO, and Austria
Hungary, $1,000. No other country
had a mileage in five figures-eXcept
the United States, with the mod est
figure of 10000. nearly 10000 more
than all Europe.

Good Show.

Murray and Mack, in their new
play, around the Town drew good
crowd to the Elks last night. The
show was a good one. and pleased the
audience. Around the Town could
scarcely be termed comedy, nor yet
is il really farce. In fact it would
be difficult to classify it: but the jokes
are good, the songs are up-tO-date, the
dances. chOruses and ensembles are
pleasing. The swing songs and sing
ing by the Trocadero quartet deserve
special mention.
