Once there was a boy named John

maker, or maybe it was Money makeI
anyhow, his name was John, with
some sort of a maker attached to his
last name. He owned fifty yards OF
calico, three pairs jeans, a half dozen
pair of home made yarn socks and five
pairs of boots. He called this a dry
goods store through a Philadelphia
newspapers and tffsred tosell a pair OF
socks. for SO cents. The dent bslieve
in advertising merchants laughed!
Young John spent eos with the Phila:
delphia Ledger to advertise just one

gods. He was cautioned by the mer

was thru sympathy that they offered

to them, and went and blew bis mon

sees the results Of his misdoiDgs-he
has so many large dry goods stores
that he can hardly find time to study
his Sunday school lesson.

Copstables Sent Back.

So constables are to be sent back to
York county, at the request of county
officials and: Senator Brice. We
agree with tie Columbia Record that
this seems curious when we take In
consideration the allegation that Is
continuously made to US that where q
ccupty votes for prohibition that fact
shows that public sentiment Is back
Of it and that sentiment would see to
it that prohibition is enforced. There
seems to be- something wrong with
the allegation or with public senti.
ment and we would like for somebody
to explain to US what is the trouble.
In York. for instance, did the vote in
the dispensary election represent the
sentiment Of the majority? II so why
Is it necess ary to. calm outside aid to
enforce the Law? The truth is that
the enfoIc ment Of prohibition Is a
dream which cannot be real. I'D and
we might as we'll realiZs the fact
from what experier CO we have al.
ready had with it and consider the
question from a practical standpoint
