The north end of the county
has joined the south end in the
matter ofdrouth. Attorney Cen
eral Jackson's padlocks have been
put on the saloons in Mineral and
|Scammon and those places are
dry, for the first time in years.
The jointists at Scammon got a
tip from somewhere, and the Off
GERS did not get anything, but
their places were padlocked, any
way. The property will be held
for the costs, We understand.
Some time ago Gerry Scranton
resigned as mayor of Weir City
in order to make the race for dis
trict clerk. A special election
vas held short time ago, and
the race was wet or dry"
The dry candidate won, and no
titled the jointists to quit bust
ness. They complied with the
notice, and Weir City is also af-
flicted with a drouth.
Time was when it seemed diff
cult to enforce the prohibitory
law, but we believe that time is
past. We believe that when an
officer puts his foot down, and
gives it out cold and fiat that he
is not going to stand for any
monkey business it will not prove
to be very hard to close up the
joints. Even the jointists are be-
ginning to have some regard for
the law.

Speaking of the closing OF
joints with padlocks in the north
part of the county last week, the
Joplin Globe says that only the
joints mentioned in thecomplaints
were molested. The article goes
on to say that the lid is off on
those places against which no
complaint has been made. Per.
haps it mould be a good idea to
have Attorney General Jackson
come back to Cherokee county.
If there is a joint-which has been
overlooked it is not the fault of
Jackson.

Ella Leonard spoke On the Book of
Kings - 49, -
Ira M. Price of Chicago university
explained the meaning of the word
/ covenant" as it appears in the Old
Testament. The meaning of the
word as used relates to religious
ceremony or agreement. The word was
said always to imply two parties and
the attribute of friendship was an es-
sential requisite.
Friends are not much interested in
discipline" was the statement made by
Prof Ebert Russell in his lecture on
the subject of THE Development of
DISCIPLINE Prof. Russell said There
have been three stages in the devel-
opment of discipline. The first was
used to organize the Friends to fulfill
the work they were called to do. The
second was a period in which indi-
viduals were hampered by discipline
and the third was one of breaking
away from restrictions and evolution
into the newer life"

The EuRlikh Police.

In the conduct of the police depart
ment in an English city we find a
striking comparison with our Amer
lean notion of police work. In Man
chester, as in London, the policeman
is always the servant of the public.
AS IN London, he carries neither club
nor revolver. His duties are very
nearly the same as those OF a New
York officer. 1t Is in his method Of
doing his work t1at the striking diff
ference lies. He is always quiet, al
ways neat, always respectful. even
deferential. In his treatment of the
public. Such overbearing manners as

horse theory. Furthermore. time nies;

lola in his youth. before fame came
to him, wrote some stories about mil
lionaires, wherein it seemed to him he
exaggerated shamefully in his descrfp-
tons OF the costly homes and habits Of
the rich, but later on, when lola be
came a friend OF millionaires, he found
that his accounts of their extravaganza
had fallen far short of the truth.
In the same way stories about the
extravaganza Of American millionaires
that sound like exaggerations may also
fall short of the truth. Here. for in
stance, are some facts that an interior

let lola be remembered.
A man bought for his hall twelve
antique marble columns at Pompeii.
Finding he could use only eight Of the
columns he had the remaining four de-
stroyed, although he was offered for
them twice what he had paid. He had
paid $1,000 apiece.
Aubusson carpets, with a pile three
inches thick, are often made to order
at q cost OF $40 a yard. Such a cost,
though, 10 nothing beside what Is or
dinarily paid for antique rugs. They,
measured by the yard, often cost $500
or 5000 a yard.
Chairs Of ivory inlaid with wood are
occasionally sold at $500 apiece.
One millionaires piano cost $50, 900.
A five inch band Of ivory, four years in
the carving, runs around the case,
which was decorated by Everett Shinn.
The gold and silver plate Of one
household requires an expert to look
after It. The man Ia a goldsmith, and
his salary is $1,000 a year.
Billiard rooms sometimes cost $50.

are inlaid with ivory and gold.

Prince Matternich-are sold at private
sales to millionaires for $40 aud $50 q

Automobiles Of ninety or more horse

The HedEchoz's Frown.

A hedgehog curls itself up by frown
that is, by muscles like those which
produce a frown-and it frowns Sc
Terely or gently, according to circum-
stances. If it is poked hard it ''sighs"
!sself tighter. If really hurt it frowns
into tight ball. The prickles can be
erected in measure, though as they
point all ways this is not needed. They
are as sharp as needles. We have only
known one dog, large black and
white setter, which would deliberately
bite hedgehog till it killed it. But this
dog was quite mad and shared some of
the anaesthesia common to certain lu-
natics.-London Spectator.

up the supper things" In another case
