Of Henry Spencer, whose trial for the

HE HAS FIGURES
Gov. Hodges VIM Make Prohi-
bition Speech ct Columbus.
Kansas Spends Only &1.2s per
Capita per Year for Liquor.

In his speech favoring national pro-
hibition before the Anti-Saloon League
of America in Columbus. O., this week
Governor Hodges will tell of the oper-
ations of the prohibitory law in kan
sas as evidence of its probable success
in the nation. Among other things,
Governor Hodges will declare that the
per capita liquor expense in Kansas
Is but $1.25 year as compared with
a per capita liquor expense of more
than $50 for the nation.
Before preparing his speech, Cover
nor Hodges obtained the records of
liquor shipments to some of the wet
counties of Kansas for the months of
August and September. He secured
records Of shipments to Wyandotte,
Leavenworth, Atchison. Cherokee.
Crawford and Sedgwick counties. as
well as records of shipments to john

of about $40 a year. while records
from dry counties will probably re-
duce the amount to about $1.25 a year
for each man. woman and child in
the state.
has estimated that about three billion
dollars are spent annually for liquor
in the United States which, based on
. population of 100 million. would
amount to per capita expense of $50
The Kansas comparison, Governor
Hodges believes, is one Of the strong
est features in favor of national pro-
hfbition.
Another feature to be brought out ir
the governors speech is the fact that
the record of Kansas born men anG
boys in penal institutions is far below
the record of other states. Records re-

erel.
The seventh. however, was the
largest of all. While dressing it and
preparing it for dinner, Miss Robbins
was very much surprised to find inside
the big fish a small nuskrat; it was
about the size of a mouse. Although
in stupefied condition, the animal
soon came to life again. Miss Rob
bins turned to inspect the other fish
she had caught. and while her back
was turned, the muskrat made a bee
line for mud pond near the house
and disappeared beneath the surface
before Miss Robbins could capture it
again.
Miss Robbins is going fishing again,
and hopes to catch another large pick
erel which contains a small menagerie.

is one that must abide in the memory
of everyone who sees It for the first
time Its most important church ID
the Groote Kerk OF st. LawrenceI
which contains among other things
the ancient tomb of FIoris ", Count
of Holland, who died In 1896. The tow
er Of the Stadhuis dates from 1907.
It contains a library and municipal
museum, furnished with several not
able pictures. But the old Weigh
house, after all, remains to us the
most interesting Of the buildings in,
the town. Not least Of its charms Is
the prospect from the top. From It
our artist was able to secure very
striking picture Of the view as seen
from that eminent position. There
could not be anything more typical OF
Holland. First OF all there is the
canal the national waterway, winding
sluggishly through the town and divid-
ing 1t in two. There are the canal
boats, the wagons Of this aqueous
highway, placidly pursuing their jour
ney or waiting by the wharves to be
laden or unladen. Most OF all there
are the Dutch houses, or rather the
characteristic roofs of them-the view
that they would present to the stars.
The town is just Of the right size to
be brought within this focus. 1t num-
bers about 10000 inhabitants, the ma
jority Of whom are connected directly
laor Indirectly with agriculture. But the
place has its historical records also.
ut appeals to the historian as the
scene Of splendid resistance to the
Spanish siege in 1573-the period of
the Dutch struggle for independence.
The buildings, to which we have al
ready made allusion, carry US back to
that sixteenth century, which was IA
nous there as in England for the
artistic beauty and sense Of proper
ton brought to bear upon the work OF
building. Houses of this period are
fine all the world over, and not least
in Holland.

London.--A theory OF what the Star

Harpster Hartness), a prominent mem
Der OF the American circle in Lon

League of American Pen Women at
Washington, at a lecture delivered by
her recently at the University Of Lon

Taking the scriptural narrative as

dealt with the theories already put
forward, and showed they all fell
short of the facts as recorded. Basing
her theory on the story of st. Andrew,
Mrs. Hardness showed that the Magr
