II he is caught with poker chips in his
possession they make him eat them,
after which a company of Texas rang
ers take him out behind the Y. NJ. G. A.
building and use him for tarket prac-
tice. So many counties in Texas have
voted in local option that at this time
the territory which still remains damp
is only about twice, as large as the
combined areas of England, Ireland,
Scotland, the Baleric Isles and part of
Germany and Asia Minor.
From Texas the wave worked north
and east. Georgia went dry the first
of the year, and already has all the
symptoms of the Great American des-
ert. Oklahoma has voted out the De-
mon Rum, thus compelling the white
populace to resort to the ia, orite bev-
erage of the Five Civilized Tribes-car-
mine writing fluid with pepper sauce
and chewing tobacco stirred In. I'm
ashamed to tell you what the uncivil-
lied tribes fancy in the way of a bev-
erage. In Alabama the legislature has
said the liquor traffic must go and it
is-in large towns. like Montgomery
and Birmingham it's going fine. Sa-
loon towns in Tennessee are so far
apart that a Tennessee gentleman oft
en- has to travel two hundred miles be-
fore breakfast for his cocktail Many
Carolina communities have a law
which prohibits a man from drinking
his bottled goods within one hundred
yards of the place where he bought it.
