New York, November 3.-To the hard
ships inflicted upon the successful con-
duct of horse racing by the enforcement
of the anti-betting laws In this state Is

Endorsement of the federal government
which is now in one portion of the Flor
ence poolroom for a few days, is one
of the most interesting and Instructive
things ever shown here" said a school
teacher.
81 shall try to arrange to have all my
pupils see it. 1t has the profile sectional
of the work. All the locks are shown with
real water.
Charges river comes tumbling down
like a mill race. The great Gatun (pro-
nounced Gat-toon) dam is shown, Colon
in miniature with street cars running,
Panama city, the dirt trains in operation,
the great dredges lifting 10 tons each time
and carload minute. the bay and the
Caribbean sea with moving tide, all make
a highly interesting study for old and
young. 1t shows more nearly the great
undertaking within the grasp of the mind
and the eye than columns of words and
figures.

By Alfred Lyall india, 1s5D.
A late moon that sinks DER q river,
Flowing luminous, languid and still;
Long white tents that shroud men, and
shiver
In the cold morning breeze from the
hill.
Just a thin veil of darkness above you,
While the cool quiet hour Is your own;
Then farewell to the faces that love you.
With the fast fading night they'll be
gone.
Look UP, see above you tho starland
Wanes dim with the flush of the dawn;
You are called from your fight to the
far land,
And your visions must break with the
morn.
But your soul. by sweet memories haunt
ed
Still wanders, forgetful and FREQ.
To. the West, and in echoes enchanted
Hears the lopg-winding plash of the SEA.
All, sleep. though the falling dews wet
you;
All. rest in that home while you may:
Other scenes. other sounds, shall Dess1
When you wake and your dreams pass
away.
when tho sun heats afame on your faces,
What the old fighters felt We shall feel.
When the pitiless strife of the races
Flashes out in the smoke and the steel.
For the plain, bare and burning, lies yon-
der,
And perchance. when the war cloud hes
passed,
Never more day or night. shall thou
wander.
And thy sleep shall be drsamlens -

OLD SANTA.

Old Santa Claus is coming soon,
Drawn by his reindeer team,
Careering through the Christmas skies
While happy children dream,
Safe in their little snow-white beds
A rare old chap is he
And when he makes his yearly rounds
Is joyous as can be.
He wears smile of wondrous cheer
And huns merry note
And laughs to see the winters drift
OF snow flakes on his coat
His legs are rather bowed and stout,
He's rather short, in fine,
And rather round, but what of that? {.
Mere grace is not his line.
He has a heart SO very large,
So roomy, I declare,
That every little lad and lass
Can safely snuggle there.
Some say he comes from far up north,
I say from heaven above,
To fill the wide world with store
OF kindliness and love.

The golden glories of a thousand au-
tumns are scattered out across the Tulle-
degan hills. The purple wine Of 1000 Ital-
ian vineyards is splashed about the noun
tains lying east of town. The hazy, lazy
calm of sweet, mysterious distance lulls
the soul and whispers to the longing spirit

wooded heights today. October, the lotus
laden Queen of Autumn, leads her happy
captives through the silent halls OF menu
ory-back to the cherished days of child
hood, where throng the precious memories
of youth o, Fairy Queen of Fall. your

THE HOME-coMER.


A man who'd travelled far and wide
Through many foreign lands,
Who'd sailed across the ocean tide
And dreamed by many strands,
Came back to see the little town,
The place where he was born.
When he beheld the station brown,
Detected and forlorn,
Where he had stood long years ago
And waited for the train
Which bore him thence to realms of show
Ana hearts both proud and vain,
The tear drops sprang into his eyes.
He brushed them soon away
And murmured low that time it flies
And thought about the day
When he told Chiggerville goodbye.
The train drew up and stopped,
He seized his baggage. heaved a sigh
And on the platform dropped
A gray old man stepped into view,
All feeble was his tread
His face betrayed a life of rue
And trouble bowed his head.

Church Membership and Prohibition

Church Membership and Prohibition.
when this cruel war is over" said
an old veteran, I'VE will all know more
of figures as applied to statistics, pro-
hibition included
1.-THE federal statistics of church
membership, an advanced bulletin of
which has been issued, shows some very
DANA ging figures as to church mem
bership in prohibition states. 1t Is
known that Maine has had constitu-
tional prohibition for over SO years
and yet the church membership in pro-
portion to population is next to the
lowest of the II northern and western
states Maine shows only 29 per cent,
while Kansas, another prohibition state,
shows the lowest. % per cent. Wiscon-
sin, the home of Milwaukee beer, shows
A per cent. Little Rhode Island shows
the highest-51 per cent, while Ohio,
the great whisky producing state,
show 80 per cent, which is the mean
average of all the states named. North
Dakota, another prohibition state.
shows third from the bottom of low
average.
ut would appear from this that the
Devil finds a fruitful field in prohibit
ton states, If not, why this startling
showing of figures which do not lie?
by the way, the United States gov
eminent figures moving the large
number of liquor concerns doing busl-
ness in Maine are of especial interest
at this time. As published in The Age
Herald of Wednesday Pope M. Long,
United States marshal. sent a tele-
gram to Maine asking for information.
This Is the answer he received: In
Maine there are 857 retail liquor deal
ers, wholesale, sos retail malt deal
ers, and Al VIII olesale malt Dealers
For a state having no large cities
and few cities of any class, this ex-
hibition will be a rude awakening t.s
sincere prohibitionists. Why should
Alabama try constitutional prohibition
when it is pronounced failure in
| Maine and the few other states that
| have tried it? The amendment will be
| Overwhelmingly defeated on Novem-
