Many people never suspect their

METHOD IN HER SALOON RAIDS

Make q Farm.
When Carrie Nation was making
her Ratchet raids on saloons there
was an impression where she wasn't
known that she wasn't altogether
right mentally-that she was little
off on the saloon question: 1t seems,
however, that her head was pretty
level. A dispatch says that she has
moved from Kansas to Arkansas, and
has bought very fine farm there,
and that in future she intends to de-
vote her time to farming, raising
pigs and chickens and apples. After
she gained notoriety as a saloon
smasher she went on the lecture plat
form, and the desire was so great to
see her that she was able to accumu-
late quite a little property. She is
now comfortably fixed, and is there
fore in a position to laugh over her
saloon smashing experiences.
