STATEWIDE PROHIBITION 1910.

The greatest issue that will be de.
cided by the people OF Missouri at
the general election in 1910 will he
that Of statewide prohibition. I'm
der the initiative and referendum,
less than 1000 petitioners can
submit to the voters this great
question. Petitions Tor this pur.
pos" are now in the hands of the
people in all parts of the State and
thousands of signatures have al
ready been secured. In very few
weeks the requisite petitions will he
in tn" hands Of tho secretary of
state. He will then have no choice
but to place the issue on the official
ballot aud submit II to the vote of
the people.
The submission Of the question,
therefore, in the next general elec-
ton is inevitable whether we be-
ieyc in the wisdom Of submission
or not. The only alternative that
now remains open 10 any citizen is
as to which side OF the issue he will
support with his vote and influence.
In November, 1910, about 500, 600
Christian voters will answer this
momcntous question. The state
amendment association awaits with
confidence the enlightened verdict
OF the people.
This mighty conflict will decide
the future OF the great imperial
state that lies In the very heart Of
the Republic and forms the great
commercial gate way to the West,
The most stupcndous brewing inter
ests in the world are located in the
metropolis Of this state.
The entire Mississippi basin and
the West are under tribute To these
brewcries, and are pouring into their
Golfers moro than 100000, 900 every
year. Liquor forces driven from
other states by the march of the
temperance cause are swarming into
Missouri to augment the strength of
our opponents. In view OF the 81
gautic struggle with which we are
confronted, it is confidently hoped
that every citizen who is opposed TO
the devastation that is being
wrought by the liquor traffic will en-
list without delay in the active pros
ecution of this great movement to
the end that Missouri may he re-
deemed.

one when Sweet Sixteen handed me

floor
Battling Cupid, champion of the

the referee, and as we shook hands
she smiled at me. It was the bravest
little smile you ever saw-no bluff

that that little kid wasn't afraid of

On this occasion he ~visat era-Was~- a.

reins with obvious pride
THAT night at dinner the beauties
of the estate were one of the

was one of the finest places she had
seen and that she enjoyed the ride i'm
mensely.
But she admitted, I've great
curiosity to know why a position was
riding along holding the head of the
leader
GA signal under the table caused
the guest to look about, and she
caught the warning eye of Mrs. Je-
rome, who quickly turned the con-
versation. Just as soon as the two
men departed the women had a heart
to heart talk.
"You know, my dear explained
Mrs. Jerome, my husband is fearfully
nearsighted and he's awfully touchy
on that point. For a long time I've
realized that it was dangerous for
him to drive a tandem, hampered as
he is by faulty eyesight. for believe
me, he cannot see the leader at all.
SO I've arranged that a position ride
along at. the head of the leader and
sort Of take care Of things, don't you
know? And, of course, sensitive a
man as my husband is, it would not
do not let him know of this at all.

Little BLUE Pigeon

Sleep, little pigeon, and fold your
wings ...
Little blue pigeon with velvet eyes.
Sleep to the singing, Of the mother
bird swinging
Swinging the nest where her little
one lies.
Away out yonder see a star
Silvery star with twinkling song;
To. the soft dew falling I hear it call
ing, ~,
Calling and tinkling the night along.
In through the window moonbeam
comes
Little gold moonbeam with misty
wings;
All silently creeping it asks: Els he
Sleeping
Sleeping and dreaming while mother
sings?" &c.,
Up from the sea there floats the sob
Of the waves that are breaking upon
the shore,
AS though they were grooming in an
guish and moaning
Bemoaning the ship that shall come
no more.
But sleep, little pigeon, and fold your
wings
Little blue pigeon with mournful
eyes;
Am I not singing? See, am swinging
Swinging the nest where my darling
lies.

and all the peas he could borrow, and
by Saturday night he had counted
100000. This gave him hope and he
began to boast to Wainwright.
I'll tell you what I'll do" says the
latter. IF you count the peas with
out making a mistake I'll eat 'em all
in two weeks; if you overcount or
undercount you eat 'em."
Parish took this bet and counted
the first batch over again, to be sure
he had made no error Finding that
he was three peas. out of the way he

Care of FERNS

With proper care table ferns should
last two months. Many people are
even more successful with them.
They must be kept moist, not soak
ing wet.
Do not allow them to become chilled.
A temperature Of from sixty to seventy
degrees is best.
The plants should be placed in a
window where they will receive light
and, sun for at least a part of the day.
They should be watered every day,
but not too much. Be sure that the
water is cold, as warm water is in
furious to ferns. +
AS soon as any of the leaves get
yellow down near the root cut them
away.
A good way to prolong the life of the
plant is to repot it, placing about two
inches of crushed leaves at the bottom
Of the pot.

To win wager of $3.50, Henry
Parish of Meddybemps, Me-, has spent
nearly month counting peas. His
eyes are in such condition that Wheth-
er open or shut he sees peas and
quart cans. When he sleeps he
dreams of peas and quart cans, and
he is well nigh crazy.
About Thanksgiving time Parish
and a neighbor named wainwright be-
came engaged in an argument.
BET you $3.50 can count mill
ion peas between now and the middle
of January" said Parish.
I'll take that bet.'' said wainwright.
You count 'em and put 'em in glass
fruit jars
Parish began, and before the week
was out he had peas on the brain.
