directed only against the business of
selling liquor
AS was well stated by DR.. b. H. Car
roll recently: THE amendment does
not say; Thou shalt not drink
whiskey in Texas" The proposed law
seeks to abolish outright as a legal
business the traffic in spurious liquors
confessedly evil and lawless in eff
feet, which other laws hitherto have
vainly attempted to regulate and re-
strict within safe bounds
When Statewide prohibition is
adopted alcoholic liquors can be manu-
\ featured or sold within the State for
MsdiNHal, scientific and sacramento
FUR poses. 1t vii not be unlawful to
make wine or spurious liquors for any
purposes other than their sale, barter
or exchange.
Men may drink liquor or give it to
other to drink, although a sale, barter
or exchange under the guise of gift
would be unlawful, as has been re-
peatedly decided by our courts even
where prohibition did not prevail but
a license to sell was required.
The storage of alcoholic liquors in
Texas will not be unlawful under the
amendment Inhibition Of gift or
storage of liquor was omitted from the
amendment as submitted, that the is
sue might be boiled down to SALOON
OR NO SALOON, and thus thousands
of anti-prohibitionist who are
thoroughly Disguised with the liquor
traffic and unwilling longer to stand
for it's admitted evils, including cor
rupt intrusion into the political affairs
of the State, might not be deferred
from cordial support of the amendment
by fears of imaginary legions of Grim
inal prosecutions, searches and seiz-
ures, and invasions of homes because
of drink given to a sick member of
the family or a friend, or having a
bottle or a jug in the house, or wine
upon the sdeboard.
Just as the present local option
amendment in the constitution pro
vides for vote solely to determine
whether intoxicating liquors shall be
sold in a given locality and relates
only to their sale, SO this amendment
will determine whether or not intOX
icating liquors shall be sold anywhere

FROST CARNIVAL,
A Charming Christmas Masquerade For
the Children.

Nothing would be more delightful to
years of age than a series of paper
costumes. Some prefer cambria as
even better for service. Collars of all
kinds may be made of either fabric.
For Christmas nothing could be bet
ter than some costume of white canton
flannel made with the flannel side out
to represent Jack Frost and his de-
lightful and unique winter family.
among whom we find the wee snow
ball man. a tiny lad dressed in white
cotton flannel, with snowballs made
of cotton wool sewed all over his
clothes and huge one fastened upon
the top Of his white skullcap.
Sleighbells is little girl dressed in
the same fabric, with tiny silver bells
bordering the skirt of her dress. also
fastened about her wrists and along
the outer seams of her sleeves and
around the rim Of her jaunty snow
white flannel hat.
Queen Frostie wears icicles for trim
mings. This trimming is made of cot
ton batting. sewed on quite firmly
upon the upper edge, while from the
lower the cotton is pulled down in
the shape of icicles, then heavily sprin-
killed. with frost powder powdered ISM
glass. She wears a silver crown cut
from silver paper pasted upon bristol
board.
Snowflake's dress is delicately COW
cred with silver fringe, and Snowbird
adds pair of wings to her snow white
costume. Toboggan and Skater and
Coaster and Snow Man are represent
ed by lads dressed all in white, and
it would not happen amiss If good old
Santa Claus, with Mrs. Claus and the
little Claus children. came in quite
unexpectedly. all covered with snow
and frost, just from the truly north
pole"
Silver. gold and iridescent fringes
and powders such as decorators use
so effectively in dressing Christmas
trees give to all these costumes their
specially frosty appearance.
OF course the little frost people like
to dance in very lively fashion, and
strange as it may seem. they must
work vigorously to keep from melting.

Thank you for the shoes. You are
very kind to take this trouble for me-"
Trouble! Miss Newton tried to think
Of the right words in reply.
The man wanted to work in payment
for the shoes. He was seat on an err
rand or two, and later permission was
obtained to give him something to eat
"There miss" said he as he finished a
second cup of coffee and his last piece
Of bread, "that will do for supper and
tomorrow's breakfast too. Oh, but
that was good coffee! -" And so
you're going home for Christmas! Isn't
that fine? How l wish l had home

IA merry Christmas to you"
And he went out upon the avenue,
its windows glistening with Christmas
brightness, its stores crowded with
eleventh hour shoppers.
When Miss Newton returned after
New Years she waited in vain to hear
from her lodging house friend. He
never came.
Perhaps-who knows?-perhaps he Is
at home this Christmas season.

A Christmas Flashlight

1t was on late October afternoon
that he first drifted into the settle
ment house. He was not the type
that usually seeks out such n place.
There was nothing foreign about him
nothing suggestive of the immigrant.
His silvery white hair was brushed
back from a face of distinctive refine
ment, which even the marks of dis
sipation could not hide. He looked
exceedingly frail, possibly tubercular.
He was selling ink and blotters, and.
receiving a bit of financial encourage
ment from Miss Newton, the young
woman on duty that morning, he call
ed again in fortnight and yet again.
In the course of his visits Miss New
ton. whom he always insisted upon
seeing, gradually pieced together his
reluctant story. He had come from a
good old Massachusetts family, was
educated at one Of the eastern univer-
stiles and had been an official in big
eastern bank. But the drink habit had
fastened itself upon him.
He had married, but his wife had

And when their conference is in swing

With honks and quack, quacll, quack.
But, o cruel fate, it was not so!
Come, get your tear bags out
And for these hapless rubbernecks
Squeeze out a waterSpout.
Twas not the Methodists that came
To gobble ROSTERS down.
But Baptists that love waterfowl
Convened in that good town.
And every rubberneck got whacked.
Not one was left In town.
They even caught the tailors goose
And swallowed 1t right down.

The Spirit Of
Christmas

Long years ago Shakespeare put
some fascinating words into the mouth
of Hamlet, words full Of old legend
and tradition, as when he refers to the
cock growing for Christmas" as 1t
used to be called. The prince of Den
mark says:
Some say that ever 'gainst that season
comes
Wherein our Saviour's birth is celebrated
The bird of dawning singeth all night
long,
And then, they say. no spirit can walk
abroad
The nights are wholesome. then no plan
cts strike,
No fairy takes nor witch hath power to
charm.
So hallowed and gracious is that time.
Every one feels in that subconscious
region of himself commonly known as
the heart that the time is really hal
lowed and a gracious one but his mind
may tell him that to many the time Is
not so gracious as it might be. Only
to the few perhaps has Christmas ever
been gracious, but there are newly
arisen classes who have not even at
a conspicuous feature Of past Christ
masses. These have never had it, and
even those born in more ample circum-
stances who would lie expected to I'M
derstand these things appear to have
lost somewhat of the art OF Christ
mastide if not altogether its essential
spirit.
Good will toward men" is even now
not of universal application, so that
there is still ample room for the exer-
else of hope. Christmas is the one
day in the year when the whole world
seems to feel q simultaneous longing
for what might be, One who under
stands the meaning of modern thought
has written. "All this world is heavy
with the promise of greater things,
and Il day will cOme-one day in the
unending succession of days-when
beings who are now latent in our
thoughts and hidden in our loins will
stand upon this earth as one stands
upon a footstool and laugh and reach
out their hands among the stars"
This longing for distant ideal is the
same feeling which surges over one in
the presence of a splendid sea view
with wide, unknown horizons. 1t is a
feeling which viii not be repressed at
the dawn of a beautiful summers day.
This spirit of hope plays great If
not always fully recognized part in a
successful Christmas. The spirit Of
Christmas is largely composed Of
hope Hope is. in fact, one of those
fundamental motive forces in man
which help to make Christmas posi-
BILE to him. and a proper use of this
force will do wonders with Christmas.
A conscious effort to see the sparkle
of the candles rather than the pink
grease upon the floor is another won
der worker, and the taking of DELHI
crate thought for the morrow on the
part of those who play Santa Claus to
the young fails in this case to bring
any penalties in its train. Many have
wished after visit to the toy fairy
lands OF Christmas:
