One of the boys had quickly dress

and within the reach OF Toms arm.
He seized 1t at once and tried to
draw himself up. but the sand had

could not lift his weight. It was

Some time ago DIR. Robert Bur
dette said the best way TO make
a temperance man is to teach him
not to drink. This was seized
on by saloon men and made to
do service for their business. This
brought out the following from
Burdette:

hibitory laws TO prohibit-the
laws of the State against murder
do not entirely prevent murder.
But nevertheless. / am npposed to
licensing one murderer to every
