Stuart Robson had been a close
neighbor and friend for many years to
Lawrence Barrett. His bosom friend.
Marshall Lewis, fell in love with Bar
rett's charming daughter Millie, and
Robson pretended to think it was the
greatest joke in the world.
why don't you go in and win and
marry her, Marshall?" he used to say
in the squeaky voice which was not for
the stage alone. "I'll tell you what
III do. The day you marry Mile
Barrett I'll give you 5000"
This went on for some time until, to
Robson's astonishment and chagrin.
Miss Barrett accepted Lewis.
By the way, when Barrett learned of
it he exclaimed: MY dear boy, you
don't know what you're doing. You
are robbing me Of my only remaining
daughter"
Not at ALL" Lewis replied, with a
slap on the back of his father-in-law
elect. I'm merely giving you another
son."
When the marriage day came Robson
sent his daughter Alicia in his place,
and gave her check for 5000 drawn
to Lewis order, but with emphatic or
ders not to part from 1t until Lewis
and Miss Barrett were pronounced man
and wife. When Alicia returned her
father asked her If she had given
Lewis the check.
The girl replied, "Yes, father"
What did he do and sayY Robson
inquired impatiently.
why. father. he was so overcome
that he cried for a minute after l gave
It to him."
"Egad" squeaked Robson. WAS
that all? Why. cried for an hour

THE SHADOW OF RUIN.
IManson Journal.l

lMdQSOu
The prohibition league have been
very active the past week. An injunc-
tion has been asked upon two build
ings in town. What the results OF
these injunctions will be no one can
tell. If they are made permanent 1t
will drive both parties out of business
and add two more vacant buildings to
the town.
Notice has also been served upon the
railroad companies and express COM
panies to refuse to receive any more
beer for Manson from local stations.
The law strictly enforced means that
no liquor can be shipped from one part
of the state to another. This will make
it almost impossible to. secure beer at
all and Manson people will have to re-
sort to whiskey to slake their thirst for
LIQUOR. OF course they make 1t so
strenuous that even liquor in any form
cannot be purchased. 1t is said the
same condition exists at Fonda and
that 1T is the intention of the Prohib1-
tionists to make the old topers and
those who love glass Of beer or
snack of whiskey, go around with their
tongues hanging out go long the dogs
will bite them The fellows who nave
been confessing that they We're selling
beer in Manson and also giving the
prohibitionists hell will learn a lesson
they will not soon forget.
