The indications all poi nj TO a victory
in Maine for the forces that stood for a
retention of the statewide prohibition
article in the constitution. Whether
these people will be permitted TO enjoy
the fruits of their hard-earned victory is
another thing. The whisky forces have
a record for inscriptions cunning in
manipulating recount, especially where
the majority is small; and TO them the
importance of prohibitions defeat in
Maine is incalculable. On it depends
the very life of the liquor business.
Money without stint was poured into the
state to debauch the electorate and from
all parts of the country. The whisky
interests are not going to give up Maine
without a struggle. On the other hand
the prohibition leaders, while long on
those principles which make for good
citizenship, are woefully short on
ability TO look after their own interests
or prevent the theft of an election Since
they must fight if they would win, we
hope some one will encourage them 10

thieves who are trying to steal their fruit.

Judge w. S. Bullock of the Ocala Cir
cult Court has decided that the recent
act of the Florida legislature which
seeks to charge the owners of automo.
bileS, using the same not for hire, a
license, is mere device for Ievying a
tax for revenue purposes, and is uncon-
stitutional and void. The decision
grew out of the arrest of Mr.. ]. H. Spen-
Ger of the Ocala Gas Engine Works, by
Sheriff Galloway, for failure to pay the
license tax that the legislature under sec
ton 6212, fixes upon automobile owners
and habeas corpus proceedings we're
brought by Mr.. Spencer's attorney, Mr..
H. NJ. Hampton, TO test the legality of
the act. Other questions raised by the
petitioner, in view of the above decis-
ion, the Judge did not consider it neces-
sary TO pass upon, but he ordered that
the petitioner be discharged at the cost

In an article taken from the Chicago Herald, headed "Busi. ness Men in Theatricals," we notice that "The Lion and the Mouse" is going to make a few stops before starting a run in San Francisco. Now why can't we have this company stay one night with us? They surely must have a first class company to contem- plate an extended run in the west ern metropolis. Give us chance.

Fenton watched her bulky satin chest heave heavily

mole, fascinated him. Then the picture into his
mind, and he asked in whisper, "Who is she?'

Her voluminous bust expanded in gasp She quivered

charm and beauty now,
and as they entered, one
by one, they failed. Once
he had a sudden, clutch
ing gasp of surprise as a
girl passed him, cool and
imperious, in her long
cloak of chinchilla. He
stared. At first he wildly
thought his time had come
and she was the girl of the
picture. But she turned
full upon him and he saw
her mouth was selfish,
cruel, false. He turned
and walked down town,
trembling, and after
awhile passed, still dream
ing, into a side street to
escape the crowd.
He had not gone far
when his idly rowing eyes
encountered a sign on a
door, reading "Madame
Oswald, Palmist and Me-
dunn. He stopped and
stared at it curlously.
Why not, for once, seek
that vulgar shrine, consult
the oracle, and illumine
his fate? Life, of late,
while seeming duller of
fact, had to his fancy be
come suddenly stimulated.
That fancy must be fed;
a mere portrait could no
longer satisfy him. He
was in a mood for TO
nance, and here was one
of Romance's immemorial
priestesses. He slowly
assembled the steps, rang
the bell, waited.
A negro servant opened
to him and led him into
a front parlor, lighted by
a single lamp on a table.
