question to some of them asking
them how they were going to vote.
They say they are going to vote for
prohibition, that the dispensary is
in their way. How does the dispen-
sary get in their way?
S. | know "a man that is doing all
he can for prohibition and he gets
drunk every chance he gets. | could
not understand what he wanted until

whiskey. Why is that man working
so hard for prohibition:

Now | will take up Mr. Causes
sermon and will Say to him, don't
make any excuses to the editor FOR
bothering him. The editor has
given the people the use of the col

fishing his (Mr Gause's)serlnons over
and over, just whenever he wanted it
done. 1t was the same sermon every

want Mr. Cause to answer these
questions. He can put the number

skip any, If you can't answer, say
so.
l. The man that the dispenser
in Kiugstree was telling about who
bought so mach whiskey and shipped
1t to Lake City, what would prevent
that man from buying that whiskey
luutsi'!e of the State and having it
shipped 10 him if there were no dis
pensary IN the State?
:. Which would be the best for
that man to do, buy his whiskey
outside of the State and sell it here
and let the county lose the profits,
or buy it here and let the county
have the benefit of the profits?

Der did We not have these constables
befole We had the dispensary law
and the State could not keep them
without taxing the people to DO 1t
and you would soon be bowling
about that as you are now about the
whiskey. The prohibition pal-y
hates the constables as bad as they
do the dispensary.

about the late Dan Leno. Londons
famous music hall comedian:
One evening Leno, walking along
the Strand. stopped in front OF a
street musician. What are you doing
singing in the streets? said Leno;
you oughtn't to be doing that, you
know. The bewildered minstrel could
only stammer forth: well, guv'nor
I've got to do suthin' for a livin'."
Nonsense" said Dan. Here, take
this" and he put five pound note
in the astonished mans hand. The
man looked at it for one bewildering
moment and then bolted as fast as his
legs could carry him.
Recently he visited his club. Ad
dressing an old waiter, he said "Mau
rice, how long have you been working
for this club?" Ever since it was
started, Mr. Leno." And what was
the biggest tip you ever received?
"Two sovereigns." well, my boy,
said Leno, "I'll make that fellow look
foolish. Here is a flyer for you. And
by the way, Maurice, what was the
name of the fellow who gave you two
pounds?" well, Mr.. Leno." said Mau
