Such is the infRmity Of human

after-dinner speech without depre-
eating the practise. There are many
ways of doing it. You can tell a
story, as Mr.. Thornton, the new man

authentic, but the point is unmis-
taxable. And then Mr.. Thornton

DRUGGISTS FIGHT PROHIBITION
Prescott, Ariz. Sept. It'll

Prescott, Ariz. Sept. I1th.
Armed with opiaions from
leading lawyers and a recent
descision Of the Supreme Court
of Kansas, the druggists of Ar
iona have begun an extensive
campaign against statewide pro-
hibition.
The Pharmaceutical Associat-
ion of Arizona, an organization
which includes practically every
druggist in the state, will con-
duct the campaign with Pres
colt as headquarters and effect
i've work has already begun.
Satisfiedhthat the prohibition
amendment will greatly injure
the drug business and work a
hardship on the people as we'll
as themselves, the druggists will
make their campaign an educa-
tional one-Informing the voters
of the state Of the destructive ef-
fects OF the measure.
The Association recently OBJ
tanned opinions from prominent
lawyers Of the state, including
the attorney generals office to
the effect that the amendment
would prevent the bringing into
the state of alcohol for medicinal
purposes.
This was denied by the prohib-1
ition leaders but decision of the
Kansas Supreme Court handed
down last month seems to have
settled the matter The court
decided that jamaica ginger was
an intoxicating beverage and
that any druggist who sold it
was liable to punishment for Vi
dating the prohibitory law. The

This labor of love ended, he lighted a
pipe and sat in the stable doorway
He sat there until from across the
town came a fat unmusical clamor,
the cracked church bell calling the
faithful-that is to say, all Bethel save
one-to worship. He rose reluctantly.
Soon he emerged from the little house,
shaved to the blood and clad in the dis
comfort of Sunday clothes.
Always on warm Sabbath mornings
Simon Truitt was to be found sitting
on the stoop, and always facing the

ward the house of worship. Once, dur

overlook and passed him; a girl in the
rear seat turned and nodded. A wave
of red surged into his dark face. Until
the wagon drove into the churchyard
his glance chung to the mass of yellow
hair under the pink hat. Unconscious

He found an empty pew near the
door, and entering, leaned back, hall

dreams gave him a new and daring re

the yard he took a station by which
the farmer folk must pass to their We
