A Wee Bit View
"A Story For
Memorial Day

old Scotch friend cheerfully

"TTS only wee bit view l haze.
but it's bonny one" said my
old Scotch friend cheerfully.
She sat beside her window in
her big cushioned chair. her crutches
within easy reach. for she was very
lame and hobbed about her four little
rooms with great difficulty.

I saw the corner of street and saw
coming around the bend little process
sion of children playing soldiers. They
had fags and drum. and their voices
sounded pleasantly as they marched by.

She replied cheerfully: "A matter Of

cold soon after the war. when my last
laddie cam home to die. and I never
got over it. But I don't suffer so very
much. and take great pleasure in my
hoose and my fren's and my bonny

Mrs. MacGregor smiled. She was
highlander from Inverness. large
framed. stately woman with black
eyes and coal black hair. and always
she wore cap with large frills and
band OF black ribb0n-the sort Of cap
her country women call a mulch. On
her neck was folded q white handker-
chief. and her rusty black dress hung
In straight folds. She had very little
tn live on. but people helped her deli
cately. and she had only one fear In
the world. that of living to be "a bur-
den'' and of dying without leaving
enough to bury her decently beside the
laddies who lay-six stalwart sons they
had been-asleep in the cemetery.
Three of them had died in the war; one
had survived it and died when the
peace summer spread its aureoles of
beauty over the rejoicing land. Two
had since succumbed to disease. The
old mother had seen them laid one by
one in the plot. which was the only
real estate to which she possessed a
title deed. One would have expected
her to be gloomy. but no! Aunty Mac.
Gregor was as bright as a May morn
ting.
Just then there came a tap at the
door. A tall young man stood there
with a helpless look on his face and in
his hand a shirt which had met with

Our sires met with sword and gun:
We clasp hands with each other
But. though the wrongs are worn away.
There still are wreaths to Irvine
For them that suffered In the fray
For your dear land and mine
The scars are healed upon the trees
That felt the shoes OF battle.
The ruts are smoothed upon the ieas
Where Craze the peaceful cattle.
Oh, let the tattered emblems go!
Give back each flag and token
That tells of brave hearts plunged In woe
And knightly spirits broken
But ever while brave hearts beat true
And sun and stars shall shine
Fresh laurels for the heroes who
Saved your proud land and mine!

PRIVATE FAMILIES
CAN GET LIQUORS
WEBB LAW ExEMPTS THEM IT'S
DRASTIC PROVLSIONS-BUT
DEALERS LOOK OUT

Washington, ID. c., April i.-indi-
cations are that the new Webb law,
f0rbidding The shipment Of intoxi-
eating liquors 20 dealers in dry
territories. viii make much trouble
for the railroads
The law says that it is Illegal for
the railroads to take liquor TO deal
ers in any place where its sale
would be unlawful" This means
that the law does not refer alone
10 prohibition States. Some cOun-
ties in other States are dry" And
there are cities, townships and VIII
lagos which have special prOhibi-
ton regulations. II looks now as
II the station agents in towns which
have breweries and distilleries will
have to have special Webb law
covering The whole
United States.
As was stated when the Webb
bill was passed in congress, II IS
not a prohibition measure and does
not affect individual consumers. 1t
applies only to dealers, in prohi-
bitiOn territory. The consumer who |
orders liquor for his own personal |
use finds no difficulty in receiv- |
ing the liquors, whether IN Kansas,
Oklahoma or other prohibition |
states.
The object of the Webb law was
% abolish the abuses that have
)een prevalent in prohibition
states and communities, by rea-
iOn of business done by bootieggers,
live keepers, blind pigs and tigers,
II selling whiskey on the sly and
n violation Of the local prohibit
ion laws. The consumer however,
an order reasonable quantities of
liquor for his own personal use, al
hough living in a prohibition State
r a dry community.
II has largely been the practice
+ the boOteggers to buy the vilest
nd cheapest article obtainable. In
losl cases even this inferior quail
y has been doctOred and drugged
y them, so as TO yield larger rev.

The old fashioned fatirons with han

heat, but are rather unwieldy, as they
must be used with cloths to prevent
burning the hands. The patent irons
which have the detachable wooden
handles are easier on the hands, but do
not retain the heat as we'll. There are
other irons especially used for futing

VANISHING. BEAVERS.
A Plea For the Protection Of Thes,
Interesting Creatures.

A Plea For the Protection Of These
Interesting Creatures.
Over wide areas the beaver is al
ready exterminated, and he is rapidly
diminishing elsewhere. Though more
than twenty states have recently
passed laws for the protection of this
animal. these laws will give this use
full creature but little protection until
a greater interest is awakened in his
works. Beaver fur is temptingly val
liable. Beavers multiply rapidly where
protected. Man is their worst enemy.
All others are easily outwitted, and
where man keeps hands of the beaver
readily maintains populous colonies
along the streams where his ancestors
long held dominion. :
A beaver colony is one of the most al
Turing attractions of the outdoors. The
gnawed stump, the picturesque dam,
the strange canal, the crude, primitive
