PROHIBITION GAINS.

The prohibltonisls gained In their
fights Ia Colorado, Oregon and ARR
gona and Washington state IL so close
as to be in doubt They lost In Ohio
and California, In the latter state the
law proposed was NO drastic that the
people revoltcd AGAINST IL, For in
stance, should family serve wine at
the table second time after the law
went into effect, the head Of It would
have been punishable with imprison-
ment
That provision was IN direct viola
ton OF the intent OF the constitution
OF the United states. and doubtless
would have been so held on a test
case. The people. even preachers Of
the gospel. knew II was carrying
things too far and therefore opposed
the proposed amendment.
The work Of extremists, like those
who Injected such provision into the
proposed prohibition law. has done
much to handicap the prohibition
movement. American people viii not
permit too drastic Interference In their
personal affairs.

Who wins his love shall lose her,
Who loses her shall gain:
For atill the spirit woes her.
A soul without a stain
And memory siill pursues her
With lonRings not IN yain
lie loses her who gains her,
Who watches day by day
The dust Of time that stains her.
The griefs that leave her gray,
The flesh that yet enohains her,
Whose grace hath passed awayi

The love some seem TO gain
TIN joy that custom stains not
Shall still With him remain:
Tho loveliness that wanes not.
The love that nccr can wape.

Tho lands Of dream among;
Though all the world wax colder,
Though all the songs be sung:
IN dreams doth he behold her,
