Shipments to Foreign Ports Shown to
Be Considerably Below the
Average

WASHINGTON, March I'm Janu-
ary there was falling off of about
$50, 900, 900 in the total value in the
country's exports as compared with
those of January, 1908, while for the

Another cause of the decline is the
falling off in the quantity of corn,

They arrested the vic

real Violators OF tne

nefarious work.
Residents of the dis
trict declare there are
nine t e e n "blind pigs

In the former, the "Stel-
la d'Italia." scores of
drunken men sat around
tables and were piled
with vile liquor as long
as their money lasted.
I saw a man purchase
a quart bottle of what
appeared to be whisky.
He was intoxicated at
the time and left the
place a few minutes
later with the bottle
concealed beneath his
coat. We purchased
liquor in this place.
Only the merest pretext
of food was served. In
some cases a plate of
frijoles was brought
after the liquor had
been served. The scenes
in all the resorts were
about the same. Doz-

beer and in some in

food which was served

Smile and the world smiles with you, Knock" and you go it alone, For the cheerful grin will let you in Where the kicker IS never known. Growl, and the way looks dreary; Laugh, and the path is bright; For a welcome smile brings sunshine,
 while A frown shuts out the light. Sigh, and you rake in" nothing. Work, and the prize is won; For the nervy man with backbone can By nothing be outdone. Hustle and fortune awaits you. Shirk and defeat is sure; For, there's no chance of deliverance For the chap who can't endure. Sing, and the worlds harmonious, Grumble, and things go wrong, And all the time you're out of rhyme With the busy, hustling throng. Kick, and there's trouble brewing, Whistle, and life is gay, And the worlds in tune like day in

 And the clouds all melt away.
