He staggered to the front of the building and into the street, where his horse was tied.
 Although if was pretty late to at tend the afternoon session cf the show, Hays had made up his mind to see a side shO--. Some one steered him wrong and he rode to the neighborhood of the santa Fc depot. The riding had stirred up the spirits within him con siderably and he fast became drowsy and soon was in the land of nod.
 Several pedestrians noticed the man as he rode down the street They also noticed q large puddle of water di- rcctly in the middle of the road in front of him and over which he was bound to pass. As the horse stepped into the puddle it stumbled At this instant Hays awoke. Thinking that he was in mid-ocean and without a buoy, he attempted to alight He fell into the puddle with one big splash. He was fully awake by this time, but he was now doubly wet His horse was at his side. He attempted to mount, but was too "soused' to drag his legs over the animal He dropped

CAMEL IS MASCOT Of
PROHIBITIONS
original Water Wagon Entered
with Elephant and Donkey

CHICAGO, Sept. 23. The prohi.
bition camel has been entered in the
national race against the republican
elephant and the democratic donkey.
~ 2 number Of states the law re-
quires that each party have an official
emblem printed ON the ballot, that no
voter may mistake his ticket
Alonzo T. Wilson, state chairman
Of the Prohibition party, announced
today that the rfohibitionists have
decided to adopt the camel as their
mascot, replacing the emblem Of the
fountain and rising sun, which form
erly indicated the Prohibition column.
Among the reasons advanced BY
Mr.. Wilson for the selection are that
the camel Is the original water
wagon; that il can discern a fresh
supply Of water farther than any 9TH
er quadruped; that 1t can travel faster
than the elephant or donkey, and that
il is under no necessity OF getting a
hump on itself, being already sup
piled with the article.
