Nothing Coed in Liquor.
Science has proved within the last
few years that there is nothing good
in liquor. 1t has been shown that
every time q man takes Il drink he
Loses eight per cent. Of energy, that
is, he can do eight per- cent. less work
The German scientists have tried out
this experiment and proved it against
the drinking man every time.
We have 100000 saloons in the
United States. each killing three men

the human race each year on account
Of the saloons. Ii is the duty of the
government To protect the life of the
people. Dc you think the government
has right to license a man to kill
three men every year.
The liquor drank in the United
.tlo m 10 ia
amounted to $500 0o0. 900 gallons. More
liquor was drank in this country than
in Germany. France and England. but
notice this. that in the eight or nine
prohibition states only 20,00009o gallons
We're drank, or about / 4 gallons per
capita. while in the other states %
gallons per capita We're drank. We are
told that prohibition does rot prohibit.
but il prohibits. the difference between
26 gallons and 4 gallons per capita.
Il tell you that in most parts of the
State of Maine the prohibitory law Is
enforced as well as any other law.
We have laws against gambling that
are not enforced for in most of the
larger cities there are places where
gambling is going on but no one would
ask that on that account we should
repeal the law against gambling.
Perhaps some of you saw in the
WaterVille Sentinel this morning
statement which the paper claimed
was made by Cardinal Gibbons. 10 the
effect that laws like prohibition that
were certain to be violated had better
not be made l do not believe Cardi-
nal Gibbons ever said any such thing
in the world He is an intelligent and
well educated man and nobody but a
fool would make such a statement as
the Sentinel puts into his mouth"

A VERY SMALL PERSON.

Mrs. Plenty, landlady of the Alham- bra dining room, is good -natured, and hence at times is imposed upon. It is her business to feed the hungry, for reasonable compensation of course. and under her management the dining room has won an enviable reputation. Even people who are broke, scheme to get an occasional square meal there. and generally succeed. What Mrs. Plenty believes is the meanest trick that has been played upon her for a long time
 was by one of the young fellows who came here from California to work in the cantaloupe fields He gave his name as Belmont, and begged Mrs. Plenty to let him have couple Of meals, promising to pay for them and buy ticket as soon he got pay for his work. What he did do was to se- cure a job and a pie card, guaranteed to one of the restaurants by the man he was working for When laid off. he drew his pay, hurried to Phoenix and got a ticket back to California, with out even thanking the Mesa landlady for his accommodations. It is little things like that which destroy the landIady's confidence in human nature and make it hard for a really honest man to get even a back-dOor hahdOut.

It was too much of a job for one to tackle with a scythe while the thermometer stood at 90 in the shade, and MT. Miller had a happy thought. He owns a COW that is not particular as to her menus. pro vided the quantity is satisfactory, and he tied her to the lawn where the of lending grass had full sway. The scheme worked. The cow proved to be the most satisfactory lawn mower that MT. Miller ever owned. He did not even have to boss the job. Jim wishes it understood however, that he will not lend the COW.
