A Fable,

A poet, an artist and a philanthro-
pist sat together and talked, says the
New York Press. Talking was about
all they could do, for the poet had not
made much Of q success Of thinking
burning thoughts, and the artist had
been content to imagine beautiful pic
lures rather than try to paint them
But the public did not know his ideals
so he was unappreciated. Then, as
the philanthropist was without wealth
he could not distribute to the poor any
thing besides good wishes, which they
had in abundance, and good advice
which they did not want. While the
three men talked the door opened sud-
gaunt, haggard old woman whose years
had weighed so heavily on her that she
was bent nearly double.
81 am Fate" she said in hollow
voice that filled them with awe, and
am come to let you choose what you
will. Each shall have one"
She could not finish her sentence be-
fore they broke in on her.
Fame" cried the poet.
Admiration" cried the artist.
Wealth" cried the philanthropist.
"They shall be yours" said Fate
Come"
She led the way to the door and
opened it. Then she stepped back ir
bewilderment. Three persons Of very
ordinary looks and actions, men who
had been earning living while the
others dreamed, were carrying away
everything Of value about the place.
"Well, I do declare" said Fate, sud-
denly transformed from the fairy god.
mother to a chattering old woman, I'll
these men haven't been and gone tc
work and carried off the very things
intendedfor you"
And the other men have them yet.

A LUMINOUS CoMMENT.-The late ISL
dor wormser, the millionaire banker OF
New York, laid the foundation Of his
business success as a clothier in San
Francisco. An aged San Franciscan
said Of him recently:
Mr. Wormser was a shrewd man
II you laid a proposition before him
he saw at a glance whether it was
good or bad. true or false, and in ar
epigrammatic and Illuminating way he
passed Judgment on it.
For instance: once heard man
explaining palmistry to Mr.. Wormser
The man was an ardent palmist. He
insisted that the lines in the hand were
as trustworthy as the lines in the BIZ
ble He said that the wise everywhere
believed in the palmist's science.
Now here he went on, opening
his hand, here is the life line. Thi:
line indicates infallibly how long you
will live
Yes said Mr.. Wormser. Isn't II
funny, though, that the life insurance
companies pay no attention to it?'"-

word of new recruits to the Prohibition party
men who had never before voted the national
ticket enrolling themselves with the Prohbi-

national tickets. Several sgners to the enroll

is expected to add very largely to the list. Among
the leading Prohibitionists here are ]. P CROUCH,
the Rev. E. E. KING, the Rev NJ F. WHEELER
Besides these, such men as J. L. GREER, J. c..

A PROHIBITION FIGHTER
Rogers in Oswego Board of Supervisors Does
Constant Battle for the Rights of
the People

OswEGo New YORK. December 21.-(Special
correspondence)-Ye the Board of Super
vlsors OF Oswego county ended its session and the
old board expired. Throughout the whole year,
and particularly in this closing session, GEORGE
w. ROGERS, the Prohbitionist who represents the
town of Hannibal upon the board, has stood head
and shoulders above the thirty-one other men,
and has been the one commanding figure of an
honest and unimpeachab1e public servant
!. Mr. ROGERS course has fully justified his cleo
ton and answers the question, "What could
Prohibitionist do if elected to Officer"
During this closing session Mr.. ROGERS has
been fighting for the rights of the people against
official graft. He has fought for the abolition of
the old and useless office of crier in the courts,
an office which is today simply graft and which
has cost the people of Oswego county $4,000 in
vllainously excessive charges of the printers who
collect hundreds of dollars for Jobs not worth
$25 when performed for the public, and, finally,
has fought against the serving of liquors at the
SUPERVISORS banquet given at the close of the
session.
With the exception of an occasional bit of as
sistance from some lone Democrat or Repub-
can, who has broken momentarily away from the
and single-handed. Commonly even discussion
has been cut off and motion to table has
been unanimously voted for by both the Demo
Gratis and the Republicans, united in their deter
mination that the people shall not even hear
word of the criticism of their gangs But Roc
ERs has come back to the charge again and
again in way that has made life weary for the
ringsters through the whole session.
In the final fight against serving liquor at the
supervisors banquet, the chairman refused to rec
ognize Mr.. ROGERS when he demanded the floor
and established record in gavel rule by refus-
ing to listen to the demand for an faye" and
"nay" vote.
The people of Oswego county have had good
opportunity to see how much their service needs
honest men.
THE NATIONAL PRoHIBITIoNIsT: The new pa
per is my ideal of a Prohibition paper compre
hensive in its scope, scientific in treatment and
loyal to the cause of Christian citizenship Pro
hibitionists must take passage and ride the crest
of the wave to national Prohibition.

An Advertising Trick.

Every reader of newspapers who
has the power of observation knows
the deception practiced in advertis.
ing. Often a fine picture of stove
or some other article has In large
figures a price given which is third
of what the real worth Of the article
is. and the rest Of the advertisement
SO skillfully worded as to give the i'm.
preston that 1t is the article illus.
trated that is sent for the low price.
This Is for the purpose Of securing
an order for an article which. when
received is found to be far different
from what the person who sent the
order expects to receive. How would
the home merchant fare should he
advertise in the same manner? Would
he not be placed on the list Of trick
sters?

FOR GREATER ECONOMY.
Manufacturing Drifting Closer to
Fields Where Raw Material 10
Produced.

Economy in every industry Is be-
coming more pronounced year after
year. Manufacturing centers are drift
ing toward locations where the raw
materials can be secured at lower
cost. During the past ten years cot
ton manufacturing In the south has
increased more than a hundred per
cent. and there has been decrease
in the production OF textile manufac.
turing centers in the New England
states in proportion to the increase In
consumption. A score OF years ago
the great flour manufacturing centers
were in New York and other eastern
states. To-day the west controls man
ufactures of -four and cereal foods.
When mills are located in centers OF
wheat and corn producing sections in
number sufficient to utilize the crops
of local territory. It will work bene-
fit to the farmers Of the land in the
saving OF. what is now paid in freight
rates or raw products to manufactur-
Ing centers. and the distribution cost
to consumers of the land. Every farm
er can help better conditions and help
himself by giving his support to local
manufacturing enterprises.
