nually grant one or more such permits,
but as there is no penalty attached some
cities and towns have refused to grant
any. We believe, however, that such
refusal is mistake, as no-HcenSe does
not mean thou shalt not drink it does
not stand for total abstinence; and we
believe that these permits should be
granted to bona fide general expresses
who merely want to transport liquor in
cidental to their general express bust
ness" The italics are not in the original
article, of course If no-license does
not stand for total abstinence, what does
it stand for? Reading between the lines
it would seem to mean that a thirsty
citizen would be commended for voting
no-license in a compact that calls for a
quenching of thirst from a nearby COM
munity. Given the legislation from
Congress that will prevent the nullifca-
ton of local prohibitory laws and we
shall shortly see whether no-license
means total abstinence.

SOME NEW MUSIC.

Three very attractive pieces of sheet
music come to the editorial rooms of
The National Prohibitionist. They are
written by Mr.. A. M. Thatcher, the we'll
known basso who has charmed so many
audiences (. in Prohibition meetings
throughout the country, and are entitled
respectively "Be True to Our Flag"
"Help Us Rescue Our Boy" and "On
the Firing Line" They are dedicated in
the order named, to the Hon. E. w.
Chain, to the Rev. DR.. Eaton and to the
memory of the late Rev. Dr. Chas. A.
Crane. Portraits of each of these gen.
tlemen, with a portrait of Mr. Thatcher,
adorn the covers of the songs.
Of their merit as musical composition,
it is hardly necessary to say more than
to mention the authors name. Mr.
Thatcher has been recognized as writer
of excellent music for many years. The
songs are worthy of place in the music
rack of every home. They may be or

the pens are registered porkers and
their little ones; off in the distance
grazing peacefully on the side hill, are
a bunch of registered cattle; around
the barn run pure white chickens that
show their blood breeding. And sur
rounding the farm house and barn are
great stretches Of deep green corn

Such a picture as this is presented

NOT A MURDERER.
Travelling Man in Night Attire Creates
Stir in Hotel Dining Room.

A daZed lodger, under the impress
sion that his bed mate was trying to
kill him, created a commotion at one
of the leading Norfolk hotels before
daybreak one morning last week by
rushing through the hallway and down
stairs into the dining room in his
directoire night gown, crying out in
his flight that he was being pursued
by a murderer. The dining room at
the time had several guests eating
early breakfast by lamplight before
leaving on the morning trains. The
mans screams and agitation created
CONSERVATION among the breakfasters
and hotel employees.
1t all happened this way: Two
travelling statesmen for the same
house were compelled to double up"
that is, occupy the same bed, be.
cause of the scarcity of single beds.
Towards morning one of the sleepers
grasped the others throat during a
somnambulistic spell The latter, in
his half-awakened condition, supposed
that his friend was trying to strangle
him. He released the mans hold, got
out of the room and hurried down
stairs, his friend following and calling
to him to come back. When the
frightened man reached the dining
room his friend also in night attire,
got to the head of the stairway. 1t took
considerable explanation and reas-
surances from the supposed throttler
to get his victim to return to their
room After the first alarm the guests
enjoyed the episode, but the two par
ties concerned could find no amuse-
ment in it.
