BIG SALOONMAN TO
PREACH PROHIBITION

Once owner Of three fourths of
the saloons of Des Moines, and
regarded by temperance workers
as one of their greatest enemies,
Ben F. Parker has reformed and
will go on the platform for the
prohibitionists In the near future.
Parker was recently candidate
for mayor. Members of the Pro-
hibition club take the rumor seri-
ously.
Charles L. Snyder, president of
the Polk County Prohibition club,
said: IF Ben is sincere in this
matter, he can do our party lot
of good, and l have no doubt but
that Mr.. Parker could draw enor-
nous crowds for our platform"

NOTHING NEW BUTLOVE

There Il no new thing under the
sum-" said tired philosopher of
old, when the wine of life began
to taste brackish on his lips. And,
in the main, he was right.
The copyright on murder died
with Cain. The cave man, as Kip
ling tells us, undoubtedly watched
his more talented brother draw pic
lures on the virgin rock and then,
"cribbed and called the sketch his
own"-so much for modern plagar-
ism!
Joseph was betrayed by his
brethren; Deliah robbed a man of
honpr and strength under pretense
Of love; Abimelech won a throne
by conspiracy; and Moses recog-
nized divorce long before it became
the fashion to shuttle and cut fam
lily ties in Sioux Falls, s. D.
Even the modern real estate deal
has its parallel in the story Of Ma
both's vineyard. There is no new
thing under the sun
Except one, and we call it love!
II men and women were so con-
stituted that they might live to
frown down century plants as mere
infant vegetation, their pulses
would leap and their eyes brighten
at loves coming.
Love can never grow old, never
become routine, never degenarte
into daily habit.
Many shades of emotion mas
querade under the name of love, as
a base born varlet may disguise
himself in the kings ermine. No
bility is the hallmark distinguish
ing the-true from the false.
Love is life and therefore ever
lasting; the common possession of
all, and yet the rarest and finest
jewel of weak humanity!
Those who scott at love are like
frightened children in the dark, hal
LONG to keep up courage. "We
exist" they cry, and wonder silent
ly, "Shall we ever know"
Undoubtedly there are people in
capable of love, just as there are
Freaks without hands-imperfect
humaf beings.
1t Eis a misfortune never to have
known the greatest and most beau
tiful. emotion in the world. 1t Is
also a misfortune to be born blind
or deficient in any of the five
senses, and yet people do not go
about boasting of this latter afflic-
ton!
The mystery of life is as nothing
to the mystery of live. The princi-
pies of life can be reasoned out,
partially. by anyone with a taste
for biology. Love defies analysis.
How does the soul know it's own?
Why should any one particular per-
son out or all the millions set your

UNCONSCIOUS WHOLE WEEK,

QUICK WORK IN COURT

TACOMA, Sept. 14.-The federal
court has made quick work of
smuggling cases. The grand jury
reported to Judge Hanford four in
dictments against George H. Co.
burn, F. H. Graw, James Murphy
and Henry Foshee. All were at
once arraigned and entered pleas
of guilty.
Coburn and Graw were sentenced
to Is months at McNeil's island
and 500 and costs and Murphy
was given IA months and the same
fine. Foshee begged for fine SEN
tence, and the court ordered him
to deposit $1,000 by Tuesday or,
hee, too, will get prison sentence.

WASHINGTON.

Rolling up and down inclines on
big globe sticking on head and
shoulders, any old way, is an APP
parently easy stunt for the Sisters
Yllerone this week. The act is one
of the mysteries of skilled bal
ancing and acrobatic agility. The
house has good musical feature
also in the Les Durand trio, and
there is fast toe dancing sketch
by Arnold and Ethyl Grazers. AL
Coleman has single act in COM
edy, and the Havelocks make a
specially of musical comedy Jug
Cling. The bill is fairly well bal
anced.

AUDITORIUM.

The Shirley company's new bill
this week, 1.-The Three of U.s."
serves to introduce new member,
Charles e. Gum, who succeeds Mr..
Holuber in leading roles. He made
a favorable appearance last even
ing. Jessie Shirley is back in the
lead in the character of woman
in mining town fighting for the
family name under unusually ad-
verse circumstances. There is a
villain played in good style by
Owen Williamson. 1t is an inter-
esting little stage story of loyalty
and intrigue, and the company is
giving it the customary capable
production.

blood flowing faster and give rise
to dream pictures in your brain?
Love is the one thing that defies
Time and the proverb maker. 1t is
ever new-perpetually, enchanting
ly, and blissfully new. The last man
and woman left on earth, when
sun, moon and stars are whelmed
in darkness will love as ardently,
as freshly, as the first two loved
in the dawn of creation.

There is a fine musical speciality
this week in the Zingari group of
eight gypsy singers. Their pro-
