On the question of the practicabiltty
OF prohibition Mark Twain is said to
have expressed his views as'foliows:
81 am a friend Of temperance, and |
want it to succeed. but don't think
prohibition is practical The Germans,
you see. prevent It, Look at them.
They have invented a method OF max
ing brandy out of sawdust. Now, what
chance win prohibition have when a
man can take ripsaw and go out and
get drunk with fence rail? What is
the good of prohibition If man is
able to make brandy smashes out of
the shingles on his roof or IL he can
get the delirium tremens by drinking
the legs Of the kitchen table?'

BENEFACTOR OF THE CATS
New York Man Who Goes About
Spreading Catnip for Their
Dedication.

A black cat lay sleeping on Sun
day afternoon downtown behind a
grating protecting the steps leading
to an office building. Along the street
came a man, who spied the cat and
stopped with glistening eye.
He drew from his coat pocket a
small pasteboard box and from it he
sprinkled some stuff on the lower
step. He Kissed and called to the cat,
which lazily opened one eye, but went
back to sleep again.
"A cat poisoner," thought one on
locker. Then he asked: What is
that stuff"
"Catnip." replied the man with the
pasteboard box, in accents that made
it unmistakable that he was German.
Il always carry it around and when
ever see cat sprinkle some on it.
The cats like ii and l like cats, so l
give them what enjoyment 1 can"
He went on his way and the other
stayed to see what would happen. OF
sudden the sleeping cat started up,
its nose twitching like a rabbits, and
began to crawl slowly toward the cat
nip. Then it made a jump for the
stuff and fairly rolled in it. 1t came
pretty near being a catnip jag for
pussy.-New York Sun.
