PROHIBITION WOULD
help WASHINGTON.
Congressman Aiken Will
Introduce Bill.
Anderson Daily Mail.

Congressman Wyatt Aiken, who is a
member OF the house committee on the
District of Columbia, said today that at
the opening Of the next session OF CON
gress he will introduce bill providing Tor
prohibition for the district.
Mr.. Aiken's position on the district com
mittee will give the bill unusual weight
and significance.
When asked about his intention today
by a representative Of The Daily Mail Mr..
Aiken said: Il am on the committee on
the District of Columbia but have not TAX.
en- any very active interest in the affairs OF
the district.
But have been watching the effect OF
prohibition in the south, and | have seen
that wherever it has been tried it has been
beneficial to to the people. Perhaps it has
not in every case entirely prevented the
sale and use of intoxicants, but it has in
all cases been great deterrent, and be-
lieve that if prohibition is good for certain
sections Of the country it should be good
for Washing ton, and it is my intention to
introduce prohibition bill for the District
Of Columbia and do my best to have it en-
acted into law.
"If prohibition can be enforced any
where it should be successfully enforced at
the seat of the greatest government on
earth. I believe If I can succeed In get
ting favorable report from the commit
tee that the bill will pass the house. II 1T
does pass the house / believe it will get
through the senate all right. President
Taft should not balk at q good prohibition
measure if he can so easily digest the last
tariff steal"

N. Daudet large sum for advance sheets
Of the work. he accepted the oder, and
tho advance sheets were sent. WAep the
publishers received them, they decided that
they could not issue, the book, and they
cabled to the author, sSappho' will not

consulted with numbers Of friends, and
this was the conclusion at which they
eventually arrived: "Sappho" in French
Is spelled with one "p''-"Sapho," altar
the Greek fashion. In English II is spelled
with two. An unusually acute friend
pointed this out to Daudet, which much
relieved the novelist, and he oabled back
to the publishers, "Spell 1t with two p'I"|
It is needless to state that the pubhshers
were more astonished at Daudets reply
than be had been at their cable dispatch.

A Seeding Husband Cured.

A woman, whom her husband used fire.
quently to scold, went to a cunning man to
inqnire how she might cure him Of his bar
barity. The sagacious soothsayer heard
her complaint; and after pronouncing
some hard words, and using, various ges-
ored liquid, desired her, whenever her
husband was in passion, to take mouth
rful Of the liquid and keep it in her mouth
for five minutes. The woman quite over
joyed at so simple remedy, strictly
followed the counsel given her, and by her
silence escaped the usual annoyance. The
contents of the bottle being at last expend-
ed she returned to the cunning man and
anxiously begged another possessed Of the
same virtue. Daughter" said the man.
there was nothing in the bottle but brown
sugar and water. When your husband is
in passion, hold your tongue. and my life
on 1t, he will not scold you in the future.

Japanese Journalism.

Japanese Journalism" says mission-
ary's wife, "is a singular profession In
many Of it's features. There Is practically
no such thing as freedom Of tbs press In
Japan. Whenever a newspaper publishes
something unfriendly to the government
1t Is suppressed and the editor Is sent to
prison. The real editor Is never impris.
oned, though. Every newspaper has what
the Japanese call dummy editor, and u
Is his sole duty to go to jail every time tho
paper is suppressed for offending the
mikado. Then the real editor changes the
name of the paper and keeps on publishing
1t. Dummy editors spend most Of their
time In prison."

The Farmers Wife.

Bird-Lke she's up at day-dawn's blush,
In summers heat or winters SHOWS
Her veins with healthful blood afiush,
Her breath Of balm, her cheek a rose
In eyes-the kindest eyes on earth
Are sparkles Of homely mirth;
All vanished is the brief eclipse!
Herk to sound of welded lips
And words of tender warmth that start
From out the husbands grateful heart!
o! well he knows how vain Is life,
Unsweetened by the farmers wife.
But 10 the height Of pure delight
Comes with the evenings stainless joys
When by the hearthstone spaces bright
Blend the glad tones of girls and boys
Their voices rise in gleeful swells,
Their laughter rings like elfin bells,
Till with look 'twiXt smile and frown
The mother lays her infant down,
And at her firm untitled hand,
There's silence mid the jovial band;
Demure, arch humors ambush in
The clear curves her dimpled chin.
All guileless creature, hale and good,
All fount OF wholesome womanhood,
Far from the worlds unhallowed strife!
Gods bl lessings on the farmers wife!
Ye danes in proud palatial halls
Oflavish wiles and jeweled dress,
On whom, perchance, no infant calls,
(For barren oft your lovelinesS)-
Turn hitherward those languid eyes
And for moments space be wise;
Your sister mid the country dew
Is three times nearer heaven than you.
