TOWN To
FREE BEER A YEAR
Millionaire Banker, to Spite the
"Drys," Kept Liberty Hall
With the "Lid" Off
AIMED TO SPITE PROHlBITIONISTS
Fancied He Could Educate People to
Spirit of Resentment Against
Laws that Restricted Their Appe-
tltes-Found Them SPineless Slaves.

Glasgow, Mo.-To spite the Prohibi-
tionists, who voted this county dry"
John Morrison Fuller, a millionaire
bank president, opened Personal
Liberty Hall and for twelve months
served free beer to all who came and
as much of 1t as they desired to drink
at any time except Sundays.
No restrictions were placed upon
the consumption of the beer. 1t was
as free as the water that flowed in the
Missouri River. A barrel always was
on tap, and rich men or poor, working
men or idlers, strangers or natives,
were welcome to turn the faucet and
drink little or much.
The room had an equipment of easy
chairs and settees and long table
with the latest newspapers and maga-
zines. Two white men and negro
in white uniforms kept the beer mugs
clean and tapped a fresh keg when
the one in the icebox ran dry.
After q year of this free dispensa-
ton Of beer Fuller closed his Personal
Liberty Hall and now the town Of
Glasgow Is parched.
"I must admit that my experiment
was somewhat of failure" the mil
lionaire banker said. 81 fancied I
could educate the people to spirit
of resentment against the laws that
were depriving them of their liberties
to eat and drink what they chose.
But l found that they did not care.
They are spineless slaves. So long as
I kept my place open and gave them
free beer they would drink their fill,
but never a thought would they give
to the dangers Of a government that
says what man shall eat or drink.
And so closed 1t and now they can
go dry for all care"
The rent of his Personal Liberty
Hall, its furnishings, the beer and the
service cost Fuller something like ST.
600 during the year. The beer alone
cost him $50 week.
Fuller Is a Harvard graduate and is
fifty years old. He Is president of his
bank and comes of a we'll known Vir-
ginia family. His grandfather was
William A. Smith, the founder of the
Randolph Macon Methodist College of
Virginia.

WITH PROUD WIVES
OF NORTH POLE CONQUERORS
A King Among Kings, Says Mrs.
Cook Of Her Husband.-But She
Doesn t Like Peary.

] Casco Bay, Maine, Sept. 9.--''How
Awill DR.. Cook feel and act among
# Fings?" I asked the brave little wife
Bff the north pole discoverer.
" "Just like one of them!' came the
proud answer, her eyes flashing.
I had arrived an hour before at this
cpiet little refuge of Mrs. Cook and
\ her ehildren-a refuge to which they
} had fed when privations in the great
city on Long Island threatened them.
/ found Mrs. Cook radiant with JOY
and wifely pride.
"How did I feel when I heard the
hnews?" she said. "Well, I can hard
y tell You. On the afternoon Of Sep
Ftember l I saw newspaper extra at
&Lewiston. It told me Of my husband 5
success. I was stunned, but said
@nothing. And when I came home
Rthere was the cablegram from Fred.
RThen knew that the whole terrible
dream was over. Of course I was hap
~;
'*Dr. Cook is quiet man and un-
: ELUSIVE. When he says My world Is
4 in my little home,' it means volumes
/ to me. He signed this message to me
yours cordially but that means
much. His self-control is perfect. 1t
you knew him you would realize he is
the kind Of a man to find the pole.
The news Of the success Of Peary-
sr. Cooks rival-was spreading
among the villagers and resorters.
"Peary is not sincere" said Mrs.
Cook. II know because my husband
has been with him. You've seen
Peary's pictures in ice deserts,
haven't you? Well, he always gets
big chunk Of ice between his camera
and his boat, 50 the picture will make
the situation look desperate.
"Why, when he met me at the Arc
tic club banquet in 1907, he said, All,
Mrs. Cook, v1fe Of DR.. Cook. He's in
the north now, I hear Then he
walked away. He was very patronlz-
ing. I saw him treat Mr.. Fiala, the
Italian explorer, the same way, too.
'sPeary never let his men talk. He
always wanted all the glory. Never
any credit for anybody but himself.
III admit my husband and Peary are
not friends.
:'The Esquimaux hated Peary.
That's why he didn't take Meme along
when the boy wanted to go back. He
was afraid Meme would tell the Esqu-
mapx the truth about Peary's stand
ing IN ..nis country
A week Of delight over success has
made Mrs. Cook forgetful OF what she
herself calls her terrible dream. just
how terrible her experience has been
few Of her close friends know.
A few days before her husband s
memorable message Mrs. Cook was
sitting beside her little cottage at
Caseo. Mrs. F. E. Wore, an old friend,
was calling on her.

are you going to- do this winter?"
"I,l have to take up work as
stenographer, I'm afraid,' said the
