RESPECTABLE SALOON A DRY" RESORT
CONTINUED from page j

of the labor unions recognize the saloon
as menace to their cause, and feder-
ated labor will in time place it under
the ban.
The majority of the men engaged in
the liquor business themselves do not
respect their calling. 1t tends to hard
en- the nature and dull the moral sense.
The saloon does not exist because of
any universal appetite for liquor, else
the expensive fixtures and furnishings
would be unnecessary. 1t rather exists
to incite and create the appetite.
A comparison of the crime record of
wet and dry territory in several states
having county option, showed plainly
the cause for overfowing penitentiaries.
The figures are overwhelmingly in fav-
or of prohibition.
Medical science now says there is no
virtue in alcohol. AS a beverage alco-
hOlic drinks serve no necessary purpose
in our economic life. A total abstainer
can enjoy good health and live long.
The statement of the moderate drink
er that he lean drink or let it alone
is not evidence of an heroic nature, but
rather of foolhardy one-a man yield
ing to temptation which may result
in his becoming sot and pauper.
Coming to his plan for respectable
saloon, Mr. Watson expressed his belief
that the absence of profane, obscene
and indecent language and all forms of
gambling would not make the saloon
respectable-he would remove all intox-
icating drinks also. 1t has been proved
an impossibility to make liquor saloon
respectable. The more respectable it
is, the more harm it does.
The man who votes for license, how
ever, if he be consistent, must respect

Don't you believe it,"
Even as she spoke, two figures

wanted to prove that you could get
out in time
Mrs. Maltby grabbed him by the
arm and pushed him through the door
gently but firmly There was a fire
in her eyes that he recognized meant
business, even in the dim light.
Go upstairs and leave me here!"
she said. Maltby went.
1t was perhaps half an hour later
that his wife returned. She was calm.
but frigid
'You are a very intelligent person.
aren't you?" she said.
Il think | am, said Maltby,
weakly.
you understand, of course, that if
these girls don't stay we shall have
to give up this place and go back
home, and that it will only cost you
$500 for rent, besides the inconve-
nience and loss of health
Are they going to stay?" asked
Maltby, breathlessly He was begin
ming to get interested in the posi-
bilities. He hadn't viewed the sit
uation in that light before
"On one condition, and that is that
we occupy their rooms, and they have
these" Of course, there was nothing
else to do but comply with two girls
in such a hysterical condition"
Maltby held up his hands.
But | won't sleep wink all sum-

"Of course you WON'T" replied Mrs.
Maltby But | know that your supe-

NAL TBY S
FIRE DRILL

When the Maltbys took their cot
tage at the seashore they naturally
took their two servants with them.
The servants had the two rooms
on the top floor To reach them
you had to go up a long, narrow pair
Of stairs.
Maltby was methodical, humanita-
rian and cautious.
The first night he woke up about
midnight and got thinking about
fire
Suppose said Maltby to himself,
there should be fire, how would
we get the girls out in timer"
He woke up his wife and told her
about it.
~Nonsense!" said Mrs Maltby sleep
ily
But it's a serious thing" said
Maltby. tits just this lack of pre-
caution, this want of intelligence be-
forehand, this is responsible for great
loss of life. Isn't that so?"
Very likely" drowsed Mrs. Maltby.
How would we get them down?
How would we make them move
quickly enough"
Go to sleep'
DO you smell smoke" said Maltby,
hoping to wake her up.
Mrs. Maltby vouchsafed no answer.
Maltby thought on.
The more he thought Of it the more
serious the problem was Two human
ives in constant danger! It was ter
rible. And he would be responsible!
So long as he lived it would always
haunt him. No! AS matter OF or
binary precaution he most do some
hing.
Suddenly there came, out of the in
tense darkness brilliant idea. He
would have a fire drill. They always
had it in schools IF it worked once,
that would settle the whole matter
r. it didn't work, then every one Won
bless him for making the discovery
He got UP stealthily and put on his
bathrobe. He got his watch, in order
TO take the time. And then, watch in
hand, and stole upstairs.
Ready he said to himself in front
of the girls door. GO"
He pounded on the door and at the
same time shouted "Fire!" Silence.
He repeated the experiment. There
was a slight noise inside
Once more he shouted fire.
He was answered by loud shrek.
In about a second and a half two
white-robed figures bounded out of
the door, shrieking at the top of their
voices Maltby followed them down
stairs. At the door he took the time
"One minute and half" he shout
ed. Great! / had no idea that it
could be done in that time. Girls,
you did fine.
In the meantime the girls, half hys-
T terical, had hidden themselves be-
hind the kitchen closet.
You said the house was on fire, !"
said Bridget Sure there's nothing
the matter that | can see'
Dim that scared trembled Della
Maltby explained He was ust see
ing how quick they could get out. He
ordered them back to bed.
In the meantime, Mrs. Maltby,
aroused by the noise, and finding
her husband absent, descended the
stairs
What is the matter?' he ex-
claimed.
Nothing!" replied Maltby. Just a
fire drill that's all, AS long as you

Mrs. Maltby wrung her hands.
Where are the girls ?" she asked.
