The Prohibition;st
Is Not Patriotic.

The federal government collects
millions from revenue on liquors;
cities, towns and counties collect
their thousands. This money is ap-
propriated to public improvements,
to streets, to public highways, etc.,
and even to our public schools. But
I, as q temperance man, not only re-
fuse to patronize the institution, but
also do all can to keep others from
patrorizing it. Thus the government
sets up an Institution, which [ am
morally bound to ppose, fight, break
down, if possible. Some men are
very much afraid OF passing liquor
Laws which will be violated. But here
you have set up all institution which
|, q Christian, must discourage, fight,
aid overthrow. if possible. Andmore'
than that you force us to have part
in the management of this business,
and to be sharer in its profits.
The most natural thing is for men
to encourage, protect and defend an
institution, by which they suppose
relieves them Ct the odious task of
paying tolls from their own pockets.

News special despatch. W. o. Learn.
who has handled probably more rep
tiles than any man in the United
etates. says that the business is ex-
eeptionaliy good. Owing to the
drought little farm work is going on
in Southwest Texas and the idle Mex
leans are all busy catching snakes. at
which work they can make g good IN
come. Mr.. Learn Is now handling
more than two tons Of rattlesnakes
a day from the Brownsville country
alone.
Mr.. Learn has under his instruction
more than twenty girls. some of chem
young and beautiful. whom he Is
training as snake charmers for carni.
walls and other shows. These girls
work daily in a room where there are
thousands OF rattlesnakes and other
reptiles. After little instruction In
how to handle snakes there is praS
ucally no danger. even from rattle
snakes. These reptilea. declares Mr.
Learn. when handled kindly and not
tantalized, practically never bite the
trainer. In fact. he says they are
like all other dumb brutes-they learn
to love the hand that fondles them
and will not strike at It unless they
are injured in some way.
The young women who qualify as
snake charmers receive $40 to $50 a
week. and this is increased as they
show efficiency, A really attractive
girl who learns to handle snakes In an
apparently sensational manner Otter
receives $50 a week. Mr.. Learr
states that he has no trouble in get

play has had since its production "A meas
ure of success that places it ahead of the
Scotch authors previous works. including
'"rhe Little Minister" and Peter Pan"
Nothing apparently that Miss Adams has
had in many a day has given her adj
mirerS SO much satisfaction. The plot
hinges on the efforts of "a dear little
Scotch wife to help her husband in his
ambition to become a big figure in the
world. He enters politics and subtly and
tactfuly does the wife sink into his head
the ideas that he places in the speeches
which call him to the attention of the
government leaders. With supreme ego
tisin he takes all of the credit to himself
and there comes a time when he would
part with the little woman and take up
with an affinity" The play will be given
here with the east that was seen during
the greater part of last season in New
York. The leading man is Richard Ben
nett. The usual matnees will be given
during Miss Adams engagement.
