GETTING A DRINK IN KANSAS.

A newspaper man who would not
pelieve that 1t was so very difficult to
get a drink in Kansas determined to
investigate for himself. He took with
him a friend who, it Is stated, could
find liquor in back alleys, hay mows,
and under kitchen DOORS" He re.
lates their experiences in humorous
detail In the Kansas City Star; tells
how, after following the trail for ten
hours and forty minutes in the city
Of Topeka they finally ran down an
alley cocktail, and sums up the situa.
ton thus:
Then 1t is possible to buy liquor
in Topeka? Yes. and 1t is also pos
sible to rob a bank there. 1t is a
crime to sell liquor and 1t is also a
crime to steal, and both crimes are
committed in Topeka and probably
will continue to be. But neither Is
committed easily or with impunity
and neither Is respectable. As to the
degree of ease, I should say that rob
bling a bank would be a much simpler
matter than buying an alley cocktail,
ana would involve less risk. A bank
robber can get into Topeka without
having to register his name and oc.
cupation with the authorities. Whisky
can't. Under the Mahin law the rail-
roads are required to certify to the
county attorney every shipment of
liquor laid down in Topeka, the name
Of the consignee and his address. 1t
makes a trail a blind man could fol.
low. and the result Is there is no
liquor shipped into Topeka any more.
What small quantity reaches there Is
carried in by its alley agents and hid
den In out-of-the-way places to real
pear In the manner I have described
In the shape of alley cocktails.
Which brings me to what l was
going to say about that delectable
drink. An alley cocktail is a half
pint OF the cheapest whiskey obtain,
able in the barrel houses of Kansas
City diluted with Kaw river water
and artificially colored with burnt
sugar. II Is then buried under the
chicken house and permitted to age
over night. When you meet a mar
on the train who boasts loudly thai
the lid is of In Kansas and that he
can go to Topeka or Leavenworth o.
Wichita and buy a drink, it mean.

AN UNPARALLELED RECORD.

The following dispatch was sent
out from Washington, D. c., one Mon
day 500 after the new excise law
went into effect:
The national capital awakened to-
day to find that during the thirty-one
hours from midnight Saturday to I
o'clock this morning it had been a
'Jagless' town. Not one arrest for
drunkenness had been made by the
police in that time, and the police
court docket was a lonesome sight.
The new and rigid excise law passed
by congress was responsible for the
wavo OF Sabbath purity.
Where are the prisoners de-
manded Police Judge Pugh when he
assembled the bench and cast his eye
around for the usual Monday morning
array.
There amt none, yer honor said
the bailif, almost sadly. We amt
got SO much as a plain drunk
"The record, so far as the police
have been able TO ascertain, is un-
paralleled in the annals OF the do
partment."

face was covered with pimples. They
were small at first but gradually
grew and right at the end of each
pimple it was all white. l carelessly
picked them with my finger nails.
