drink of whisky. They told him
that the only place in town was a
drug store, so he hunted up the drug
store and he said to the clerk:
Now, have a terrible stomach
ache, and | wish you would fix NE up
IA little glass of whisky" The clerk
said: This is a prohibition town,
and | cannot let you have any whis-
Ky here"
The salesman said: "They told
me that l could get it in a drug
store. And the clerk said: You
cannot get it here without doctor s
prescription" But" the sales
man said, 81 have not the time to
hunt up doctor; this is case of an
emergency; | am in terrible pain; let
me have it; it will be all right"
No." the clerk said, they are
very strict around here, and | could
not possibly let you have it. And SO
far as an emergency is concerned,
there is only one emergency that is
recognized by the law of this State,
and that is a case of snake bite. "
The salesman did not say a word,
but went out and in about 20 minutes
he came back rubbing his stomach,
with his face twisted as though he
was suffering terrible agony, and
said to the clerk: LET me have
this whisky. l went out and
looked up that snake and l found he
has engagements fer six months
ahead" Cat this point Mr.. Wasson
poured out a glass of water and
said: I'VE will have to make some
concession to the other side, so
will take little sip of water. "
daughter and applause.) But, seri-
ously, friends, when you come to
consider it calmly and carefully, is it
not a fearful nerve on the part of
these men and women to attempt to
dictate to you and l what we shall
eat and drink or what we shall not
eat or drink ?-and it all comes right
down to that.
Do these holy persons offer them
any substitute I? Do they offer them
anything? No. A rich man can
get his liquor at home, can get it at
any time, but when a poor man goes
into a saloon they say that he is be-
coming the victim of the saloon man
that he is participating in a great
social evil.
There is no justification in inter-
fering with the rights of an individ-
ual so long as that individual does
not interfere with other people S
rights. There is every reason to in
terfere with the saloon-keeper when
he does anything wrong, if he sells
to q minor, if he sells to drunkard,
if he keeps gambling devices in his
place, if he keeps bad women in his
place, if he does anything that is
wrong in itself, then we ought to get
him out of the business and remove
this evil business from his saloon.
1t must be done; it has been done,
and believe it will be done in this
country to-day. (Applause.)
Modes in Brief
Everything tends to smaller coif-
fures.
Some of the richest opera cloaks
have kimono sleeves.
Egyptian embroider;es are in high
favor.
White fox and ermine continue to
be the leading evening furs.
Roses and other flowers made OF
satin ribbon are greatly in vogue.
Antique brocades are fashionable
for elegant evening gowns and
cloaks.
Sleeves seem to have definitely de-
cided to remain short on dressy
waists.
A late fad is the use OF shadow
chantilly under white chiffon.
Most of the colored laces are shown
in black with q design worked in
colors.
Little black satin sandals with
white stockings, are the latest try
for evening costumes. More often
the slipper for evening is of satin
the color OF tho dress.
Many shawl collars of fur, satin or
velvet-any material, in fact-are
cut sailor fashion in the back, the
square sailor collar being preferred
to the curved effect.
BOGUS counts sometimes win
American girls, and bogus counts
quite frequently win elections.
IT takes nine tailors to make a
man, but one woman can easily make
q goose of q man.
THE gasoline engine serves a very
useful purpose, but do not expect it
to run the whole farm.
The days are shorter in December
and SO are II good many men-say,
