REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR

From the New York Press. Husbands get women accustomed to bear any sort of trial. A man thinks he's public spirited to let people vote for him for an office A woman's idea of dressing for wet weather is her worst hat and her best stockings. A lot of new cuss words ought to be in- vented for special use by those on trains that are late. 1t seems strange to a woman that g man can get so excited at baseball game and keep so cool at a bargain coun- ter sale.

REPENTANCE.

Alas me, alas me,
 'Tis all in vain to try; The world is fain to pass me-
 To pass me coldly by And will not show a smiling face,
 Whate'er I undertake. Was ever there so sad a case,
 That could more trouble make? Forgive me, forgive me
 Old world, I've done you wrong. Sweet happiness shall shrive me.
 I'll sing a braver song. My own frown was reflected
 By all that 1 beheld, Because I was dejected
 And foolishly rebelled.

"One of the Boston Wholesale liquor dealers gave me his figures of sales in Maine. They are $100,0O0 year. There are about 50 such companies (brewers and hard liquor mem operating in Maine. About 20 are from Boston, ten from New York, ten from Kentucky and the rest scattered in St. Louis, Milwaukee and other cities. Some of these companies are doing larger Maine business, others a smaller, than that of my informant
 William Pennell, after six years ex- perience as sheriff of Cumberland coun- ty, estimates for me that Maine pays an annual liquor bill of between $S.000,0O0 and $4Q00,000 The consumption of whisky in Portland, alone, he estimates at 400 gall Ions a day. A wholesaler told me that 100 barrels of beer a day for Portland would be careful figuring.
 Those are the cold statistics of the situation in a state that prohibits the sale or keeping for sale of intoxicants. Of course, there is only one answer: Graft The fact that there is graft IS the chief argument of the anti-prohibi- tionists.''

MAINE THE BATTLE GROUND

prohibition law if there had been found any satisfactory alternative anywhere. The experience of other states with license, local option and other remedies does not look as satisfactory to the people of Maine as their remedy, even with its shortcomings.
 There is no question that there are many people in Maine-but not majority by any means-who think prohibition should be wiped out. Likewise, there IS no question that many folks in Maine drink, but I do not believe the proportion is as great as it is elsewhere.
 Maine liquor dealers obtain anywhere from 800 to 400 liquor dealers licenses each year from the United States inter- nal revenue department. Each license is prima facie evidence of intent to sells But the total number of licenses is only a fraction of the number of places ac- tually selling liquor. In Portland there are about four times as many places sell- ing liquor to thirsty citizens as feel it necessary to take out federal licenses 1, through fear of the revenue officers. Two thousand public drinking places, at least, are steadily active in Maine Some years ago a careful count was made on the number of liquor selling establishments in the larger cities Here is the table nf that eOunt

Shelby, who was for a term president of the Board of Trade of this city and manager of the Cable Piano company, and who Is now vice president and general manager of a large piano concern in Denver, and prominent in the civic life of that city: James J.

 MT. Ewing says that Denver is a model city in the matter of cleanli- ness but that the streets are clean because there are practically no man. ufactures there. The people live chief ly off of the mining interests and tour ists.
 Everywhere that MT EwRg went in the west the people knew about Bir mingham and weresinterested in learn ing more of its wonderful resources. Taking it all in all,' he said" there is no town in the country of twice its size that is better or more favorably known than Birmingham and none which has the natural resources and the assured future that Birmingham has. If business in certain lines has been a little dull in Birmingham it has been much duller in other places and now that the Birmingham people have satisfactorily settled all political questions for the present there is no reason why we should not pull together and adopt the policy of one for all and all for Birmingham for the more sue cessful and satisfactory business this winter than our merchants and manu featuring interests have yet known"
