TRACING THE FIRST DRUNK.

A more or less Veracious magazine writer has
traced the discovery Of alcohol and the first drunk
in the world back to putocrat of the Picocene pc
riod who, one day gathered in gourd more ripe
and juicy berries than he could possibly eat, so ne
left the crushed surplus where the sun fell upon
it. In d day or two he wanted to eat some more
berries but to his surprise found that those he had
left in the gourd had turned to a sharp, frothy
pulp covered with bubbles.
He swallowed the mass at one gulp and smack
ed his lips with satisfaction. In a few moments
he began to see things about him take on strange
shapes and where only one was two or three of
the same kind of things appeared, and he even
saw things that he had never seen before in his
life When he woke up the next morning with a
blazing headache and his tongue feeling like it had
been kiln dried his beautiful dreams returned to
him. hence after he had succeeded in ridding his
mouth of d horribly gummy taste he decided to go
through the experience again, SO he picked a much
bigger gourd Of berries, crushed them and set
them in the sun 70 brew.
Thus was alcohol discovered, which despite
the fact that it bteth Ike adder and stingeth
like serpent, is the favorite big medicine of a
great many people in this world who spurn the
suggestion that it is the tincture of trouble :

Another Knockout blow has been given the
bnd-tiger industry Of Tennessee The supreme
court of that state has handed down written de-
cision, holding that the possession of Federal reve
nue. license is prima facie evidence, and that no
further witness is necessary to establish the guilt
of the accused In other words, the decision
means that if it is shown that man has taken out
license to sell whiskey. the presumption is conclu
sive that he is selling whiskey; and it being con-
trary to law to sell Whskey IN Tennessee, the man
accused, and holding a federal license, is guilty;
just as one found with stolen goods in his posses
sion is accounted guilty until the contrary is
proven. Heretofore the possession of government
license has been taken as a circumstance tending
to prove the guilt the accused; hereafter. under
this new ruling, it is proof conclusive, and, we
opine will mighty near pat the boot logger out of
business Under the ruling of the collector of
Federal revenue license, the license books open
for inspection to any state officer, and upon their
paying for the same, a complete list of all license
issued in any county or judicial circuit will be is
sued TO any city or state attorney. The recent
move in Memphis, invoking aid of the Federal
court to enjoin illegal liquor dealers in that city
from continuing their nefariOis traffic, and this
decision by the supreme court, and the fusion of
democrats and republicans upon state officers, all
goes to show that the good people of Tennessee
have determined to turn the boot-eggers and
money changers and pardon-brokers out, and
bring order out Of chaos and sit justice upon her
throne again. Thrice armed is he whose cause is
just. - Hattiasburg News.

A prominent citizen and club woman suggests
that the United Charities and the various clubs of
the city unite and arrange plans to maintain a
charity ward in one of the hospital. The sugges-
ton comes from a kind heart and should receive
the enthusiastic support of every club In the city
AS 4 rule the club members are wel-to-do people,
who meet for their own improvement and enter
ment. How much more these meetings might
mean, if part Of the time was given over to pro-
viding relief for the needy. Just little time and
money would bring about wonderful results. The
United Charities have done great work in Co
lumbus in the way of helping the poor and sick.
A charity ward would prove far less expensive
when it comes to caring for the sick members of a
needy family; they could be removed to where they
could have the proper attention, and at the same
time allow the we'll ones to go with
their work We trust that the clubs of the
city will consider this matter seriously and that
the charity ward may materialize

slavery question split the Methodist church north

about healed and the churches should have been
the first to take the initiative toward looking TO
permanent reconciliation. The meeting in tti-

FIRES THAT ARE SLEEPING
Range Of Eight Great Volcanoes Near
Lake Albert Edward In Central
Africa.

II Is not very generally known that
right in the heart OF Africa at tho
southern end of Lake Albert Edward
Is great range of volcanoes. They
are eight In number. and, though 1t 10
true that. unlike Rukenzor. they carry
no permanent snow, the highest peak
Is over fourteen thousand feet In
height These volcanoes are particu-
larly interesting on account OF their
comparative neweness. Running
through the middle Of Africa there is
trench many hundred miles long.
in which lie the great lakes Albert
Edward. Klvu and Tapgnnyika
Not very many thousands OF years
ago. the volcanoes. generally called
Mfumbiro. burst through the middle
of this trench and made q dam across
1t, with the result that some Of the
water. which formerly flowed into
Lake Albert Edward and 80 into the
Nile. was cut OF and a lake was
formed behind the dam. AS times
went on the waters OF the lake which
Is now called Kivu rose higher and
over the barrier OF tho volcanoes.
they formed the Rusisi river. which
runs the other way into Tanganyika,
about 100 miles distant OF the eight
volcanoes only two show signs OF ac'
tiylty at the present time. In the form
OF thin wlsps OF steam which may oc-
casionally be seen; but a vast plain
Of lava. with a wide black stream curl
Ing through It's midst showed where
formidable eruption had taken
place only two or three years before
our visit. There are hot springs scat.
tered here and there, and we felt
slight shocks of earthquakes once or
twice, 80 1t is Dot safe to say that
tho Mfumbiro volcanoes are extinct

NEW USE FOUND FOR SNAKES
Farmer In Ohio Discovers Them
Clearing the Potato Bugs From
His Patch.

Farmers In various sections OF the

ous are very valuable to the farmers.
They say the reptiles arc very good at
catching fleld mice, rats and even the
frisky ground squirrels that are go
very destructive TO fields OF nowly
planted grain.
But the latest use for the ugly rep.
tiles has just been discovered in Har-
rison county. Ohio, few miles cast

Charles Albright, who is farming the
lands OF Samuel K Mclaughlin. found
a garter snake eating potato bugs,
Albright was out in the field de-
stroylng the bugs, which are quite
plentiful. and coming upon q snake
coiled up IL q potato plant. he secured
a club and Killed 1t. In few mo-
ments be discovered the top of an
other potato plant swaying back and
forth, and looking closely. discovered
another snake of tho same variety
coiled up In the branches OF the
thrifty plant.
He was interested to know why
these reptiles should be occupying
such a strange position. and after
watching for g short time he saw the
snake pick or and dcvour dozens OF
tho troublesome potato bugs. He did
not Kill the reptile. and he says be wlll
not allow any of these 6nakee to be
harmed on the land he has charge OF.
for he thinks they have become very
useful
