THE NATIONAL PRoHIBITIoNIsT

drove to Oak Hill for the evening. The meeting
was in the Brethren church There was raised
$13539.
Wednesday evening found the speaker in Beck
ley, where an audience of over 400 people lis
tened closely to an address on "The Problem of
Drunkenness" and gave at the close $269.66. 1t
of the most wonderful meetings of the
week.
Before leaving Beckley, Thursday morning, Mr..
Stewart gave address to the students and
teachers of Beckey Institute. In the afternoon
the court adjourned at Hinton to allow Mr..
Stewart to address the people in the court room.
Lawyers, jurors and spectators all remained to
hear, the presiding judge generously allowing
the speaker all the time he cared to take.
He spoke again in the evening at the Central
Baptist church to a fine audience, which re-
sponded with $11O.7O.
A night trip brought Mr.. Stewart to Glen
denim by 7:3O Friday morning for afternoon
meeting, which filled the largest house in town
at o'clock: Some had to stand, The interest
of the people was shown at the close by contri-
buttons amounting to $134.71. At Clay the same
evening court was ad journed during an evening
session to allow Mr.. Stewart to address large
audience. Here as at Hinton the jurors, lawyers
and officers of the court heard the address. They
gave at the close $9404
Saturday was divided between two towns
huntsville in the afternoon and Jane Lew in the
evening. Both places gave fine audiences. The
former added $6409 to the fund and the latter
$42.71. On the last day Mr.. Stewards supply
of pledge blanks ran short, so that not all who
wished to give subscriptions could be furnished
with the necessary blanks.
State Chairman E. w. Mills says it was the
greatest week in the history of the party in West
Virginia.
The success achieved Mr.. Stewart attributes to
the perfect arrangements and systematic adver-
Using by Chairman Mills
There are three weeks more to the campaign

the line.

A WEST VIRGINIA RECORD
Winter Campaign in Mountain State Opens
With Wonderful Sundays Work at
the Capital

CHARLESTON, w. VA, January 13-(Special
correspondence)-Al records for West Virginia
were broken here yesterday and it is believed
that for one day devoted to local meetings de-
void of convention or conference features it has
seldom been surpassed in any state.
The day was Sunday. There were three meet
ings but the people had to come through rain
to two of them and the weather threatening
when the third was held.
The speaker was Oliver w. Stewart of Chi
cago. The meetings arranged by State
Chairman E w. Mills. The amount raised for
the state Prohibition committee during the day
was $s44.O1.
The morning meeting in the State Street
Methodist Episcopal church. The Rev. o. D.
King, the pastor, gave the speaker cordial well
come and presented him to packed house, not
withstanding the rain was coming down in tor
rents. Mr.. Stewart spoke on 1.-TWO Great
Forces" and was heard by some of the leading
state officials of West Virginia
The afternoon meeting was in the Baptist
Temple where another great audience heard the
speaker on "The Problem of Drunkenness"
The greatest meeting of the three was at the
same place in the evening. The large auditorium
was filled in spite of the storm The Rev. Thomas
1oiiiooh' 'iie pastor, Introduced W.T. stewart
with few words of strong endorsement The
subject was "The Greatest Governmental Cues
ton"
In each meeting Mr.. Stewart presented the
plans OF the state committee and gave the people
an opportunity to make pledges or contributions
The financial results by meetings were as follows

Too much credit cannot be given State Chair
achieved here. He on the ground ahead
of Mr.. Stewart and aroused the local workers.
He filled the postoffce with announcement cards
mailed to people who should be interested He
kept the papers informed and through them the
people. He had posters up all over the city. He
left nothing undone the doing of which would
bring one more person out.
Some began to think he was putting too much
into advertising, but so we'll did he attend to
his part that the storm which would have ruined
most meetings seemed to have no effect on these.
The result is $s44.O1 added to the committees
resources and great impression made upon
hundreds of people who never before heard

W. E. Webb, the author of "BnfYale f4and,' tells this cat story:
 The chicken hawk of the west is ( savage and dangerous enemy, but once one of these air pirates got worsted. was sitting in front of the doctors of dce when hawk shot down with won derful rapidity of wing-so fast tha, It's shadow seemed hardly to reach the earth before its body. It bounced upon the doctors favorite kitten, which la! asleep on the grass, and made off with It. At an elevation of about fifty feet puss recovered from Its surprise and went to work for liberty. Its feline mind was exercised to astonishment and wrath. Twisting like a weasel, Its claws came uppermost, and to my straining gaze sight presented itself much like feather bed being ripped open In midair. The amazed hawk received new light on the subject of prey. let go and made off like a badly plucked goose. but the cat came safel. to earth--on its feet.

On one of the daily trips of vouns Westinghouse from Schenectady to the foundry at Troy his train was held IF, by a bad wreck. Two freichts hac come together in d head-on collision ol, piece of straight track. The er., neers had seen the danger plainly, hur by the time the hand brakes were brought into play it was too late The young man allowed these facts to sink Into his mind. Then he said to one Of the train hands
 "lf the engineers had been able to control their trains from the cabs. the wreck could have been prevented 'ouldn't it?~
 Control 'em how?"
