 Washington, Aug. 1S.-The cruiser Colorado which went on the rocks at Double Bluff, Puget Sound, Saturday afternoon last, was more seriously damaged than at first was supposed. An examipation at the Bremerton Navy Yard showed that her forward plates were badly dented in several places and that the plates were sprung. It will be necessary to put the vessel under check for perhaps thirty days to make repairs.
 The Colorado will not be able to join the Pacific fleet on it's cruise to the Samoan Islands, but 1t is expected that she will join 1t probably on the return trip from the Samoan Islands to Honolulu.

In an article in The Age Herald de- seribing several of the most beautiful homes of Birmingham, is found the fol- lowing concerning the home of MT. and Mrs. Mark Lewis. Mrs. Lewis was formerly Miss Mildred Howell of Cali fornia. She was a noted belle before her marriage and as a young matron is one of the most famous beauties of the South. She has on several occas- ions been an admired visitor to Mont. gomery when she was the guest of Mrs. Oliver P. Bartlett formerly Miss McQueen, who shares with Mrs. Lewis the reputation of being one of the most beautiful women of the South.
 The Age Herald says of the beauti- full home of MT. and Mrs. Lewis:
 The home of Mir. and Mrs. Mark Lewis lends to the variety so preva. lent along the avenue. It is different from any other on the boulevard. with its broad, square lines, aceentuated by the square In which the wide green house is developed. The interior is strikingly artistic and rich. The green and gold drawing room, with it's fur niture and decorations suggesting the period when Louis XIV ruled in France. seems fitting place for the bewiteh- Ing beauty of it's lovely chatelaine. h. deed. Mrs. Lewis recalls the days of the French empire or suggests the Empress Josephine by her queenly beauty and grace. An attractive neighboring room to the salon is the dining room. with it's dark wood re- lieved by the tones of crimson and gold In the walls and draperies Sur rounding the house Is the lawn with drive and porte cochere on the right. Opposite Is the wooded section re- served for the sunken park, which win be constructed by the city at some flu.

Brewers Quit Kansas

The brewers have given up their fight in Kansas. The
bar fixtures in all drinking establishments owned or
controlled by the breweries are being torn out and
shipped into other states. They had hoped that the
newly elected governor would give them
of leniency in law enforcement but the governorelect
has informed them fatty that they have nothing to
hope for from him.
They have therefore concluded that, in Kansas at
least prohbition prohibits Leavenworth is the only
important city in the state in which the law not well
enforced and Leavenworth will soon fall into line.
What's the matter with Kansasi She's all right!

Won't Stay Licked

Bonfort's the big liquor magazine, in its Philadelphia
section December 10 page 141), discussing the Anti
Saloon League, says:
'tThe constant and abundant optimism of the
opponents Of the liquor industry is the hardest
thing defeat It is certainly very discouraging to
lick man who won't stay licked, but that is just the
condition we up against in this state. There is
really very little chance of local option
passing the Legislature this winter, but this does
not win the fight by any means, the enthusiastic
followers Of this chimera say they will come back
at us stronger than two years hence And so
they will, too if their ammunition (money) holds
out.''
Yes, that's the most discouraging thing about the
AntLSaloon League-discouraging to it's enemies
wont stay licked It absolutely refuses to quit fighting
And there will be plenty of ammunition to fight this

in that direction.
The Anti-Saloon League is the united Church. The
Church, Superintendent Baker says sometimes loses
a BATTLE but never war. This is war.

A thousand homes in Illinois
Are filed with Christmas cheer today,
Where last year brought no gift or toy
For wife at work or child at play.
No Christmas story ever told
BY that great master of the art,
Whose books you loved in days Of old,
Had power like this to move the heart.
'Tis written in that woman's s face,
All marred and SCARED by scalding tears
Where plying eyes could seem to trace
The sorrows of a thousand years.

Christmas in Illinois
(190S)

Where banished Love- rekindled flame
Leaps up and sets those cheeks aglow,
When manly lips come back to claim
The kiss abandoned long ago.
And bark! the laugh Of childhood rings
Where late was heard sob, a moan;
And oh, how loud the cricket sings
When childhood comes into it's own!
And household fairies clap their hands
To celebrate the end Of strife,
And gather up the broken strands
To weave anew the web of Life.
