Demand President Read'S ReOigna
tion.

The resignation Of Mrs. Ida Read
of Burlington, state president of the
Woman's Christian Temperance
Union, was demanded Saturday in a
resolution passed by the Richmond
w. c. T. u. This action was taken
because a horse was seized in this
city from DR.. and Mrs. Read by
Humane Agent Fuller, the animal
later being killed. The resolution
follows:
"Resolved, That while the w. c.
T. u. includes in its various depart
ments the one called Mercy, with its
accompanying pledge, and that
owing to the developments of the
past few days, and for the benefit OF
the temperance cause in general, we
request the resignation of the state
president of the w. &. T. u, and
direct that the above resolution, in
full, shall be forwarded to the proper
officials"

Matchmaking NAPOLEON.

The first Napoleon was the great
est matchmaker that ever lived.
After repeated refusaIs the doughty
little soldier himself finally won the
hand of Josephine and devoted his
matrimonial instincts to the affairs
Of others. No excuse was admitted
from a bachelor. To him who urged
that he could not find wife, "Be
that my care" he said, and the same
evening the affair would be ar
ranged. The poor received dowries
and trousseauX. One day by decree
the emperor married off 5000 SOL
diers at once. Another day his great
court dignitaries were obliged en-
masse to find partners for better or
for worse.

Work Ia What Counts,

pity the man who does not work,
at whichever end Of the social scale
he may regard himself as being.
The law of worthy work well done
is the law of successful American
life. l believe in play, too; play and
play hard, but do not make the mis-
take of thinking that that is the
main thing. The work is what
counts, and if a man does his work
well and it is worth doing, then it
matters but little in which line that
work is done-the man is a good

III. FAILURE to establish a modern system of
purchase and accounting that would hundreds of

Whiskey in

AS every body knows Kansas is
one Of the three so-called prohibition
States, but it will be seen from what
a Kansas paper says below there is no
trouble TO get whiskey out there. a
man by the name of @. S. Jewel, Of
New Castle, Pa wrote to the Appeal
to Reason, a weekly paper of large cir
~culation publ shed at Grad, Kansas,
the following letter:
"Prohibitionists here say that out in
Kansas they have no use for jailS since
prohibition has been adopted. Is that
so?
The Appeal to Reason replied as
follows:
This will be news to Kansans. If
prohibition rules IN Kansas it has not
been discovered. In this little town
we ave five open saloons and there
are some fifty or sixty saloons in the
county. Our jailS are just as full as
in Pennsylvania. Just as long as profit
can be made selling liquor it will be
sol ~i-according TO law or in violation
Of law. In Kansas prohibition does not
prohibit. Our saloons are really a
greater menace than licensed salOOus .
When it is known that about three
thousand people in Kansas hold Unit
ed States Internal Revenue licences
to retail whiSkey and other liquors
the statement Of the Kansas paper
can easily be believed.

The Bryan company won finally by
q vote OF three to one, the vote of the
publishers representatives being ap

the contracts they had with the state.
The contracts total about half a mil.

pass through the Bryan company's
hands within the five years, the pub
