Murdered by a Statue.

The death Of ZENITH, the half myth
1cal king of Scotland, was one of the
most curious and remarkable in his
tory, if it may be called historical
fact. It seems that ZENITH had slain
Cruthlintus, son, and Malcolm Duff
fus, the king and brother of Fennella.
She, to be revenged, caused Wiltus, the
most ingenious artist of the time, to
fashion a statue filled with automatic
springs and levers. Finished and set
up this brazen image was an admirable
work Of art. In it's right hand Wiltus
placed a ever and in the left an apple
Of pure gold finely set with diamonds
and other precious stones. To touch
this apple was to court death. 1t was
so arranged that any one guilty of such
vandalism would be Immediately rid
died with arrows shot from loop
holes in the statutes body. ZENITH
was invited to see the wonder and,

"ANTI-SALOON LEAGUE +.
FOR POLITICAL GAINS"
So said the Editor of a New York
Liquor Trade Journal,
Recently.

Charges that the. anti-saloon league
is supported by multimillionaires
who use the organization for politi-
cal purposes has been made at a
meeting of New York wholesale
liquor dealers by T. NJ. Gilmore,
editor of liquor trade magazine.
The anti saloon league is the
strongest, best Differed, best
financed and best legally advised
organization in the world" said Mr..
Gilmore. 1T now holds the bal
ance of power in a number of states.
The league is supported by
millionaires and is banded together,
not for the purpose of lettering the
people at large, but to give political
power to those men who contributed
hundreds of thousands of dollars
annually to its campaign funds.
They secretly direct and manipu-
late the organization so that they
are able often not only to seat whom
they please in the gubernatorial
chair, but some times even indicate
the selection of United States sena-
tors"

Appreciated the Beautiful.

That it is not always we'll to put

Of story told in an English maya
zine recently. There We're two phi

to take the amateur to gathering Of
slum dWellers in the east end of Lon

teur, who happens to be duchess and
great beauty, appeared at the house
of her friend, dazzling apparition in
court dress, tiara and jewels. ''Oh,
my DEAR gasped the professional,
falling helplessly into the nearest
chair, "don't you know that we are
going to one of the lowest and most
squalid slulns? l can't promise that
you will bring any Of that back with
you" But the beauty only laughed.
THAT'S all right" she said. II quite
understand you. But poor people love
beautiful things. Their children espe-
cially are captivated with fine dresses
and feathers. Just wait and you will

Those poor, half starved, half naked
slum dwellers had eyes for no one but
the dazzling young beauty who had
done them the infinite honor of coming
to see them in her most beautiful
frock and jewels. ~

within reasonable time.
The total deposits of the two banks
