FIGHTING ALCOHOL.

From all points of view, 1t is GER
tain that we ought to battle against
alcoholism with every means at our
disposal II we wish to see a dyke

WoRKlNeMAN AND THE SALOON.

have worked in the factories, mills
and mines OF this country for many
long years, and have seen the effect
of the liquor traffic upon the security
OF the workingman's employment. In
all legitimate occupations. the total alb.
stainer has had the preference, for he
can be relied upon to be at his work
when he is expected, and not spend
one.third or onehalf of the first part
OF each week In getting over the in
fuences of a drunken carousal. The
railroad companies will not employ an
engineer or n conductor that frequents
the saloon, and in many other indus
trial walks the same rule obtains.
Everyone backs such corporations in
this stand, and the workingmen are
beginning to realize what such a prac'
tise means to them When they fully
appreciate the situation. there will be
an absolute end to the liquor traffic

COWS REPUTATION is
ATTACKED IN COURT;
WAS BEAUTY" BAD?

Was Beauty a mild and cookbook
ing COW. worthy Of her name, or was
she an ugly, vicious and obnoxious
beast? 1t was Judge Andy Calhoun who
had to decide "Beauty's" character in
the city court Yesterday this being the
first time he ever delved into the mys-
teres Of bovine regulations,
]. 5. Gaamore claimed that he shot
Beauty" in self defense, and Mrs. 7
f. Parker, 1876 Edgewood avenue,
brought in many witnesses to prove
that Beauty" was so gentle she even
hated to bite grass. J. T. Williams
said he had owned the COW from the
date Of her birth, and even when she
, was a calf Beauty" was so gentle her
mother thought she was sick all the
time
Galamore said Beauty" might be all
they claimed for her, but that she
chased him clear across his yard and
into his porch. Mrs. Parker said it
was "cussedness" which caused him
TO shoot the poor beastie and that its
efficiency as a milk-producer has been
permanently impaired.
The COW may be brought into court
today to testify in its own behalf, as
! the case was continued until this morn
ing. The question still remains: How
good was Beauty?

Visit of Brother
Breaks Long Silence

Clay's long silence had lasted since
the moment Of his arrest until today,
except for an inadvertent moment a
few weeks ago when ne complained
that his coffee was cold, and then re-
lapsed into silence again. It was the
visit of his brother. julius Clay, that
caused him to speak again today. He
was sitting on his bunk, his head in his
hands. when the brother spoke to him
through the bars.
Bob, it's all over. old man" said
Julius Clay There's no hope Your
last chance is gone"
Robert Clay raised his head and
smiled family. The color rushed back
to his pale cheeks and his lips opened
slowly. Then, with an effort as though
his vocal organs had partly been
paralyzed by long disuse, he surprised
the attendants by speaking slowly and
distinctly.

Systematic Writing.

All busy women know the value OF
system. and every busy woman should
systematic her daily tasks.
In the matter of letter writing many
women are great procrastinators
They persistently leave important let
tiers unanswered until the last pos
sible moment, and then have to write
hurried note, often forgetting tic
take up important subjects for dis
cussion.
The best way to do is to have one
day or evening set apart for weekly
letter writing. One woman reserves
Tuesday morning for this purpose
and she allows none but the mos;
pressing duties to interfere with her
writing.
While reading a letter she will jot
down any particular thing she wants
to mention In the reply on the back Of
the envelope, place it in the lette,
rack on her desk and when Tuesday
comes has all the weeks correspond
ence ready for answering before her
If during the interim of the receipt
and answering of a letter she thinks
Of any point she wished discussed
that, too, is noted on the envelope
With this system letter writing is q
real pleasure-one that is locked fer
ward to every week with keen inter
est.

PUT END TO FRoG-FARMINe
Audubon's Scheme Might Have Been
Good but for Ono Small, Unfore-
seen Incident.

There is an amusing story told in
connection with the first venture in
frog-farming ever made in the United
States.
Early in the last century Audubon
the great ornithologist, went down the
Ohio river from Pennsylvania in a
little steamer of his own, stopping al
various points to obtain specimens OF
little-known birds.
While at Hendersonville, Kentucky
which he made his home for some
time, he built a mill and proposed to
raise frogs on large scale, preparing
for that purpose a pond near the
river
The frogs multiplied wonderfully
and on warm summer evenings it was
the practice of Audubon to sit under
tree near the pond, listening to the
concert given by his stock, and cal.
culating the amount of money he
should derive from the sale of the
grown frogs.
But one night, when the frogs were
nearly grown, they heard the booming
of bullfrogs in the Ohio. Their curios.
ity was aroused, and hopping out of
the pond, they made their way to the
river, into which they plunged and
disappeared!
