There Is no distinct prohibition party
but both Of the old parties have ! U
planks In their platforms advocating
1.-THE abolition Of the liquor traffic and

both are found voting for and agains
local option and prohibition.
In Alat anna a law has recently
been passed authorizing each county
to vote on the liquor question. and a
lar. e majority Of the countses have
already voted for prohibition. II is
predicted that the next Legislature
will pass a prohibition law.
In Arkansas a similar law prevails.
and sixty out of eighty counties have
adopted prohibition.
In Florida thirty out Of forty five
Counties have suppressed all saloons
and the Democratic party has declar.
ed for pronIbuon. This means the a
oPuoa of general prohibition law at
the next session Of tine Legislature.
In Kentucky - mirabile dictu :
the sale OF liquor is prohibited in all
bur tour OF the lilo counties OF the
State and even every saloon is clos
on Sunday.
In louisiana seven eightsjof the
counties are dry. and there,,is a law
prohibiting what are called "jug
trains" Before this law was passed
accommodation trains used to run from
cities and towns where liquor was
sold into the "dry Counties. :. on Sat
urday so hat thirty .citizens could
buy supply for Sunday.

option for several years. and in sixty
eight out Of seventy five counties

sale Of liquor. but it must not be Civ.

Tor inviting a visitor to take drink

ualy evaded by placing the bottle

help themselves.
South Carolina bas recently repeal
ed the dispensary law and adopte1
county option instead and it is expect.
ed that general prohibiting law will
be passed at the next session of the
Legislature
Georgia has a general prohibiting
law, aud the sale Of liquor is abso.
lutely Prohibited through that state
In Tennessee liquor is sold in but
three counties Its sale is absolutely
prohibited everywhere else, and the
members of the next Legislature from
other parts Of the state will probably
wipe out those wet spots at the next
session.
In Texas two thirds Of the counties
have adopted absolute prohibition
and have made it unlawful to give
away as well as to sell liquor. as in
Mississippi. Prohibition is the princi.
pal issue Of the campaign now in pro
gress.
Oklahoma like Georgia, has passed
general prohibitory law.
West Virginia has abolished the
liquor traffic in thirty out Of fifty five
counties and prohibition is likely to
be an issue in the next campaign.
Prohibition has not made much
headway in the State Of Virginia so
far. but the sentiment is growing,
and the epidemic is likely to spread

Deadly Common Plants.

The things that give the most pleas
ure i'll life frequently can also cause
the greatest pain. Among lowers, for
instance, the beautiful snowdrop, the
hyacinth, jonQuil and narcissus are all
poisonous, and to eat the smallest part
Of the root Of either Of them would
produce fatal results, while the juices
Of the leaves will cause violent vomit-
ing. The berries Of the yew tree have
killed many people, and the opium OBJ
tained from poppies has also claimed
It's victims. Ladv's slipper and lily Of
the valley are both dangerous, and if
the blossoms Of crocus are chewed they
Will cause vomiting Flowers from
bulhous roots. however, seem to be
the most dangerous. and it might not
be out Of place to dealers in these to
label them with crosSbones and mark

Peculiar Combination Of Events Re.
lated by Andrew Lang.
As to the long arm of coincidence"
it may be as long as is necessary
Nothing is impossible to coincidence.
An instance Of my own experience,
said Andrew Lang, convinces me Of
this fact. I had been reading a foolish
book, Out Of the Hurry Burly," and
some Of the rhymes ran in my head.
They began:
Bury Bartholomew out in the woods
In beautiful hole in the ground
In the afternoon drove with Il par
ty Of friends, and we took the refresh
mcnt of tea at house where there
were several other guests, all unknown
to me even by name. AS two Of these
lived at a place on our homewarG
route. they accompanied us in our We
hiele. AS we passed a wood on hill
side one Of these anonymous strangers
said to me, 'This Is the burial place OF
the Murrays of Glendhubreac." alb
sently and automatically replied:
Bury Bartholomew out in the woods
In beautiful hole IN the ground
A kind of chill blight settled on the
party, though one Of them tactfully
asked me what poet was quoting.
When we had set down our Two
strangers at their ewnaeh home was
asked whether knew the name Of the
gentleman on whom ] had expended
my poetical quotation? OF course I did
not know, and Of course his surname
was Bartholomew, while, as he seemed
in bad health, my citation had an air
Of brutal appropriateness. 'Thus does
fortune banter U.s." for Bartholomew
is most unusual name in Scotland.

Unnecessary Generosit,

Jose Maria, a once famous Spanish
brigand, robbed an English gentleman
and his servant Of their horses and
everything they possessed save their
clothes. The Englishman was pleas
ant, attractive youth and submitted to
the robbery with great good humor.
This appealed to Jose Maria, and as
they We're forty miles from Seville,
whittier the traveller was going, he
determined that he should not walk
that distance and gave him back his
servants horse and a doubloon (S16)
out Of the 200 he had taken. The, youth
thanked the robber warmly and added
that he had still great favor to ask
evil you not return me my watch q
he said. TT was the parting gift Of
my dear father"
els your father alive" asked Jose
Maria, "and does he love you very
much?''
."Oh, yesr, said the youth. .He lives
and loves me-
Then" said Jose Maria, II shall
keep the watch, for. If your father
loves you so dearly he is sure to give
you another"

The SCHOONER.
Where the Fore and After Beats the
Square Rigger.

0SNoi - ifSSS''
The ability Of the schooner to meet
the requirements OF present day con-
dltlons, while the square riGgers nave
been found wanting, can be readily
understood when we take into consld-
GRAFTON the numerous advantages pos
sessed by the fore and aft rig that are
essential to the ideal carrier.
Operating expense, that prime factor
IN all transportation problems, is here
reduced to Il minimum, for there is 10
motive power so cheap as the free
winds Of heaven and no other craft so
we'll adapted to utilize and control this
force. The sails are of handy form
and can be readily handled from the
deck by Il handful Of men or with
steam power if desired. The schooner
can sail several points nearer the eye
Of the wind than square rigser is
able to do.
Built OH the old clipper model, they
sail like witches and owing to their
peculiar constructions can be readily
loaded and discharged. They require
but little ballast and having no heavy
top hamper can. if necessary to the
trade, take on immense deck loads.
In the lumber traffic Of the Pacific
northwest we find these vessels leav-
ing port with huge deck loads tower
Ing ten to fifteen feet above the rail.
Occasionally they get caught in blow
and have to sacrifice portion Of the
deck load. but where one meets such
q mishap dozens reach their designa-
tons safely and land their cargoes in
tact.-James G. A1cCurdy in Outing

much risk, but it's all right in this

risk if man had good sense and kept
his eyes open. The deal fell to the pro-

drawn by each man he said: NOW

Victor Huso's Views on the Question
OF Future Life.
Victor Hugo's opinion on the ques-
ton Of life beyond the grave was a
remarkable one. The great French
man was firmly convinced that he
would meet all his friends in future
world. he was equally sure that he
had always existed from the ante
diluvian times, when the Creator plac-
ed him on earth. He believed that he
would exist forever, inasmuch as he
felt in his soul thousands Of hymns,
dramas and poems that had never
found expression.
When the atheists would say to him,
'4The proof that you will not exist in
the future is that you did not exist in
the past" Hugo would answer:
'.Who told you I did not exist In the
past centuries? You will say that is
the legend Of the ages. The poet has

BATTLE OF SAN JACINT0.

The Desperate Fight That Heraided
the Dawn of Texan Freedom.
On the morning Of the 21st OF April,
1886, the day chosen for the battle
which was to decide the fate Of Texas,
Houston's first words had been, THE
sun of Austerlitz has risen again He
had then called a council Of war and
asked the opinion Of his six field Off
GERS as to whether they should attack
the enemy or wait for the attack to
come from them.
The four senior officers strangely
counseled delay, but their arguments
did not convince Houston, who declar-
ed that the hour for action had arriv-
ed and plainly announced the inten-
ton Oh his own responsibility to risk
a general engagement. He then dis
patched Deaf Smith, his most trrSty
scout, to cut down the bridge which
offered the only means Of escape to
either army.
Make the best of Your way he had
said in his habitual tone of kindly
friendship, ito Vince's bridge, cut it
down and burn it up and come back
like eagles or you will be too late for
the day" And just as the first charge
was starting horseman fecked with
foam from his painting charger had
dashed along the lines Of the patriot
army, as Houston had arranged that
he should do, calling out clearly that
all might hear, this deathknell to all
hopes Of possible escape: Il have cut
down yince's bridge! Now, fight for
your lives and remember the Alamo.'
The Texan army, with Houston rid
ing at the front Of the center column.
had then dashed forward against the
Mexican breastworks. behind which
stood the army Of Santa Anna, drawn
up in perfect order and calmly reserv-
ing its fire for short range. Their first
volley, however, By the grace Of di-
vine Providence. as the Texans declar-
ed, went too high. uouston's leg was
