An Ode TO P E 0.
Who are these in bright array
This exuttnt happy throng,
Who are on our town today
More than half hundred strong?
Are they hostile warriors come
To bring strife into our town,
Are they here for peace alone
Or do they come to seek renoun?
Faith in Christ their shining star
With love a glorious tower
And thus their works reach afar
In strength they are mighty power.
Purity the emblem bright
Which gives to the life its charm
And justice is the sign OF right
Which frees from every harm.
In the center truth must stand
Reaching the circle OF life
Holding all as with band
Dispelling all care and strife.
Faith and love in purest light
Will make our lives sublime
Truth and Justice forever bright
Will stand the tests of time.
Oh to find some friendly one
To tell me how P. E, o. to spell
And the secret work that's done
Is the great desire of B. l. L.
Welcome you, in bright array!
What cheerful happy throng
Enter you, our homes today
More than half hundred strorg.

yesterday afternoon discussing with A.
torney-Genera Bonaparte the Oklahoma

women.
Suddenly the doors swung open and
Quentin Roosevelt, the Presidents young
est son. entered the outer office carrying
three king snakes coiled about his arm.
Immediately there was a stir. Some of
the women screamed and decided they
could see the President another day.
Quentin marched .nto Secretary Loeb's
ONCE and said he had come to show the
reptiles TO his father. Loeb suggested
that possibly the Presidents visitors
might not appreciate the natural history
exhibit. bnt Quentin insisted that his
father would be delighted. They were
such nice snakes.
He marched INTO Mr.. Roosevelt's Of
fee and proudly held up for his fathers
inspection a mother snake and two young

DRUGGISTS MUST
NOT SELL BOOZE
INTOXICATING LIQUORS TO BE
DISPENSED ONLY ON PLY
SICIAN'S PRESCRIPTION

Druggists in the state of Washing
ton are not permitted to sell or dis
pose of intoxicating liquors for medi-
cinal or other purposes except on a
prescription issued by a regularly Ii
censed physician, unless, of course, the
druggist holds state and city licenses
the same as saloons for the disposal
of liquor according to decision
handed down by the state supreme
court.
This decision is a big victory for
Chief of Police c. w. Wappenstein and
the Seattle police. Ever since Wap-
pensten came into office he has been
making a fight on the sale of liquor in
drug stores. Many arrests have been
made and convictions obtained in the
lower courts. In nearly every instance
the defendants cOntended that they
sold the liquor for medicinal purposes
and that they We're not amenable to
the law. The police contended that
even for medicinal purposes the liquor
could not be sold except by order of a
physician.
c. Foster a Seattle druggist, was
fined $1OO last September by Police
Judge John B. Gordon. He appealed
to the superior court. The superior
court sustained Judge Gordon. Then
the case was carried to the state su-
preme court and yesterday that tri-
bunal handed down a decision affirm
ing the superior court.
This settles for all time the question
that has been hard fought and from
now on the police propose to be more
active than ever in watching liquor
selling drug stores, says the Seattle
Times
