DryToast

LAY the jest about the julep in the camphor balls at last,
For the miracle has happened, and the olden days are past!
That which made Milwaukee famous shall not foam in Ten
nessee,
And the lid in old Missouri is as tight-locked as can be;
And the comic-paper Colonel and his cronies we'll may sigh,
For the mint is waving gany, and the South is going dry. =.
by the still side on the hillside in Kentucky all is still,
And the only damp refreshment must be dipped up from the
riI.
Nawth Ca1ina's stately ruler gives his soda glass a shove,
And discusses Prohibition with the Soth Cahna guv.
1t is useless at the fountain to be winkful of the eye,
For the cocktail glass is dusty, and the South is going dry.
ut is water, water, everywhere, and not a drop to drink
We no longer hear the music of the mellow crystal clnk;
When the Colonel and the Major, and the Central and the ledge
Meet to have a little nip, to give their appettes an edge;
For the egg-nog now is nogless, and the rye has gone awry,
And the %punch-bowl holds carnations, for the South is going
dry.
Not the nightcaps that were taken when nobody went to bed;
And the breeze above the bluegrass is as solemn as in death,
For it bears no pungent cove-tang on its odorifc breath,
And each man can walk the chalkline when the stars are in
the sky,
For the hzz-g1ass now is hzzless and the South is going dry.
LAY the jest about the ju1ep meath the chestnut tree at last,
For there's but one kind of moonshine, and the older days are
past.
The water wagon rumbles through the Southland on its trip,
And it helps no one to drop off to pick up the drivers whip;
For the mint-beds now are pastures, and the corkscrew hangeth
high,
All is still along the s%tlside, and the South is going dry"

The Illinois Steel Company Gusts
John Barleycorn

The Illinois Steel Company, of South Chicago, a
concern which employs 10000 men, has started a cam
paign to discourage drinking among its employees.
Last week the company installed electric signs
over each of the three entrances to the plant. The
signs flashed these pointed queries as to the effects of
drink:

A Had Memory

Mr.. Cox. a hotel proprietor. had
among his eolored servants. a wo-
man named Esther Dodge, and this
name continued on the payroll long
after Esther had taken unto herself
a better half.
One morning Mr.. Cox called Esther
TO him and suggested that a change
on the payroll be made by giving
the woman the name she had a right
to be known by.
The woman listened quietly to the
proposal and then turned TO go.

IT to me before you CO."
Esther stood for some little time
in an attitude of profound thought,
her dusky hand across her swarthy
brow. and at last exclaimed:

Original Cooperation


Said a primitive man as he sat in
a tree,
Where a wolf, seeking food. had
caused him to flee:
Competition is fierce. | am tired of
strife.
A sabre-toothed tiger has taken my
wife.
My children have gone the same way
one by one;
The life ! am leading is not any fun.
I'm front of his cave over there on
the hill
Is a man whom for weeks I've been
trying TO kill.
II he sees ! am helpless mp here in
a tree.
It's a ten-to-one-shot he will kill and
eat me.
It's gotten my nerve this competitive
I wish there was some way TO alter
the same
Now the man on the hill had not
eaten that day,
So. armed with a club. he had stolen
away.
And chance led him straight to the
tree where the man
Sat musing upon the competitive
plan.
TIA Ha'" he exclaimed. there's
some good easy meat;
Ny wife and the children will now
have a treat"
Said the man in the tree. Hold on.
Over there
In those rocks are a couple of cubs
of a bear.
II would not be safe to attack them
alone.
But together We'll strip them of hair.
hide and bone.
Their flesh is quite tender. for both
here's enough
As for me. ] am lanky and stringy
and tough"
Now the man from the hill was sus-
picious because
The idea was opposed to competitive
laws,
But he finally consented. the bear
cubs were slain.
And together the rivals went hunting
again.
Thus primitive man, with unbounded
citation,
Discovered the blessings of co-opera-
ton.
Now, isn't it strange there should
still be a lar

A Bad Doctor

DR.. L. A. Merriam read a paper
last fall before the Missouri Valley
Medical Society. and after he had
finished it a resolution was adopted
by the society returning DR. Merriam
paper TO him and refusing to have
IL published in the Official journal.
No wonder, Among other things
DIR. Merriam stated in his paper:
Not n physician in a hundred
knows how to advise people correct
ly as to the detail of correct think
ing and correct living. They look
for an anatomical lesion when there
may be none to be found, but they
pretend to find it. and proceed to
treat il, usually by operation"
We should like to add our protest
to that of the Missouri Valley Medi-
cal Society. DR.. Merriam was dis
tinctly out of order. He ought to
know that anybody who tells a truth
of that kind to a gathering of doctors
will not only get himself disliked,
but is liable to have his medical rep
utation permanently damaged. =

Would fam another's faults effaee;

To prove humanity but base?
No, let us reach a higher mood,
A nobler estimate of man;
Be earnest in the search for good,
And speak of all the best O can,
Then speak no i'll, but lenient be
To others failings, as your own:

on the Dover, Easton and Sauls-

movement is widespread and IN
tense. The pastoral changes which
will be made by the conference are
of course purely speculative at the
present time. 1t is understood,
however, that at least 70 per cent
of the pastors have been asked to
return to their present charges.
The following persons will apply
for admission to the conference: M.
w. Marine, recommended by the
Epworth and Hickman quarterly
conference; w. S. Grant, recon-
mended by Little Greek, Frank
White, recommended by Royal
Oak; Robert Kirby, recommended
by Piney Neck; Claude N. Benson,

Essel p. Thomas, recommended by

ference will be the semi-centennlal

year celebrated the fftieth ami

state by this lowering of education
al efficiency, the loss through bring
ing up of defective citizens, the loss
through the increase Of criminal
classes, with the necessary jails,
penilentiaries, reformatories and
similar institutions, when calculat-
ed in money would far exceed our
national Indebtedness.
The remedy for most Of the OBJ
vious defects Of our educational
system lies in three measures. First,
the medical inspection of school
children; remedial treatment of
improbable defects; and finally, the
isolation Of the congenital defec-
tive under a different system Of ed
ucation more manual and less in
tellectual work according to the
ability of the pupil. Special class
es for the backward child in which
he is always in company with
those Of his own age and calibre.
In cases where the mental faculty
does not develop training school
is necessity in which those that
remain always children and require
continuous supervision throughout
life may be guarded from the evil
influence Of the world to which
they are always susceptible; and
segregated so that they may not
produce more of their own kind
and made happy in occupation and
recreation within their SCOPE.
