THE LID IS STILL ON IN ST. LOUIS
DRY SUNDAY EXPERIMENT A
SUCCESS AND GREAT DE-
CREASE IN LAWLESSNESS Is
NOTED.

ST. LOUIS Sept. 23.-The won
derful lid that closes st. Louis sa-
looms on Sunday still fits snug and
tight. Experts who have examined
1t from all angles unite in saying
there Is no leak. All of which makes
thirsty souls wonder whether Sa-
hara conditions will last until the
next session OF the legislature,
which will not be held until 1907.
Thomas e. Mulvlhill is the man
on the lid. He is u lawyer who was
appointed excise commissioner by
Governor Folk. Sitting on lid, a
hot one, Commissioner Mulvihill
has found to be an unenviable job.
He gets ton of abuse a week.
There Is Missouri law that or
ders the closing of saloons on Sum
day. Officials have made several
bluffs at enforcing it.
When Governor Folk was elected
on platform calling for the en-
forcement Of law, and announced
to the legislature that he would live
UP to that policy. nobody thought
of Sunday saloons.
Soon after the Inauguration large
bodies of citizens, including several
great church organizations, ap-
pealed to the governor to close the
saloons on Sunday. The governor
Is not a crusader. He Is rather dis
posed to favor personal liberty.
With the law on the statute books.
however, and the strong demand for
Its enforcement, he could see but
one thing to do. That was to per.
form his sworn duty and enforce
the law. He gave orders to that
effect.

dry as a bone, or covered bridge.

women and those four little chill.
dren to sit up ali night in those
hard seats of the day coach? You'll
die" -
"You see," said the woman, 1--WE
-we-can't afford a sleeper" and
she hung her head. while the babies
roared as if in dread of the bone
breaking seats of the day coach. :
"Well," said Bill, "Tll buy you
some berths. Hanged If l won't! !
haven't done 81 worth of good to
others in years. Pshaw! never mind.
What's 81? A bottle of champagne.
I'll simply have one bottle less with
the boys tomorrow. and you six peo-
pie will have good nights rest.
Get aboard, please"
But Bill found every berth taken
save one. Dang me if you amt
going to sleep tonight, anyhow!"
exclaimed Bill. Zone lot of you
can have my berth and I'll tackle
those day coach sleeping accommo-
dations." He saw the poor women
nicely settled with their traps piled
in the aisle and, attracted by one of
the children, even helped to take off
it's shoes and stockings. The little
one ceased crying, reach up and
kissed Bill. Tears came into the
drummer's eyes. Years before he
had lost a little son, the only child
that had ever come into his life. He
kissed the child. Then he picked
up one of its stockings poor,
miserable little red one, with hard
ly any heel left-put it in his vest
pocket and rushed away into the
day coach.
When Bill got upon the depot
platform the next morning his lid
was clear off. In the night he had
found flask of finest cognac, which
some merchant friend had surrep-
titiously slipped into his pocket. A
policeman grabbed him and took
him to Jail.

pretty heavy, but he seized the two

they told him that Kansas City was
their destination.

Eads bridge looked like the Japs
crossing the Yalu. Folk, however,
closed the country saloons by using
the city police for that purpose.
That left only the long trip to East
st. Louis and the laying in of a
home supply as means of relief.
The closing order went into effect
last April. 1t still holds good. On
a pleasant Sunday afternoon In

Lake Erie used to be noted as the
most prolific fresh water producer
of fish in the world. The supply
has been steadily decreasing during
the past 20 years, because. it is
claimed, the fishermen on the Amer
lean side were ruthless in their de
struction of the fish. Thousands of
tons of this natural food supply
went into the soil every year as
fertilizer and there seemed to be
no regard for seasons.

the Church of San Giorgio. The
church is being demolished to make
