of drunkenness have almost passed away.
 Few scoffers.
 There are skeptics. of course. They do not believe that present wholesale results will hold permanent. They be- iieve that prohibition is q toy which will soon tire the 'child" people and they will return to drink as of old. Nor do they expect this thirsty element to be always satisfied with the inconvenience of ordering 1t from a distance. The express brings in large quantities of booze weekly.
 But the majority of the local people manently benefit the community. They are not as enthusiastic as in those places wherefrom liquor was driven by a vote. But they see no reason why, with Mississippi. Georgia and Tennes- see dry. and Florida threatening to change from wet. even the express stream will not gradually diminish.
 Jug Trade Lively.
 Into these South Alabama towns the jug trade pours fast and large from the Pensacola distributing points Undoubtedly the topers. if Florida banishes the dealers from their bounds, will in this section be seriously fncon- venienced about getting their quarts and pints legally. It will be a long call to Kentucky and during the time of transit of order and goods the throats would nearly parch. Already this desolate state of affairs is being feared by the ''steadies" and they are casting about for self protection.

Sometimes the body Is placed under a specially built grass roof fin the open.

A rURNER MASTERPIECE.
origin Of tho Paintor's Famous "Rain,
 Steam and Speod.n

origin Of tho Painters Famous Rain,
 Steam and speod.'
 Of all pictures by the great English color poet, Turner, none is more popu- lar than that which now graces the London National gallery under the name of Rain, steam and Speed" which was first exhibited In 1si4. It is impossible to reproduce thls ade- quately.
 Concerning the origin of this picture Rusllln furnishes an interesting tale. The story was told to him by a friend, Lady simon. It seems that she was travelling one night in the early days of the Great Western railway from Exeter to London. When had taken or my coat and smoothed my rufIied plumes and generally settled myself" she tells. q looked up to see the most wonderful eyes I ever saw, steadily, luminously, clairvoyantly, kindly, pa- ternnlly looking at me. The hat was over the forehead, the mouth and chin buried in the brown velvet coat collar of the brown gre0tcoat Well, we went on. and the storm went on more and more until we reached Bristol, where we waited ten minutes. My old gen tleman rubbed the side window with his coat cuff, in vain. He attacked the center window, again in vain, so blur red and plotted was it with .he tor rents of rain. A moments hesitation and then, Young lady, would you mind my putting down this wIndowT
 "'Oh, no not at all
 "You may be drenched, you know
 "'Never mind, sir
 Immediately down went the win dow and out went the old gentlemau's head and shoulders, and I said, oh, please let mo look
 "Now. you VIII be drenched,' he re- monstrated. But he half opened the window for me to see. Such night! Such a chaos of elemental and artificial lights and noises never saw nor heard. He drew up the window as we moved on. leaned back for some minutes with closed eyes, then opened them and said, Well, I have been drenched, but 1t was wei worth It.
 "He nodded and smiled and again took to his steady but iuonensIve pe- ruslng of my face. The next year, I think 1t was. going to the academy, I turned at once, as I always did, to sec what Turner's there were, Imagine my feelings! There stood written Rain, Steam and Speed, Great Vest ern. June, 1S4S.' I had found out whom the seeing eyes belonged to. As I stood looking at the picture I heard a mawklsh voice behind me say:
 "'There. now, just look at that! Amt 1t Just like Turner? Who ever saw such a ridiculous conglomeratIonT I turned very quietly round and said: T did. I was in the train that night and 1t is perfectly and wonderfully true After that I walked quietly away."-Helen Zimmern in Metropol- itan Magazine
