Prohibition Vote Had
More Than Majority
But Not Two Thirds

Washington, Dec. 23.-Hobson's re-
solution to submit constitutional
amendment for national prohibition to
the state legislatures did not get the
two thirds vote necessary In the house
last night; 1877 voting for, and 1s9
against. An Affirmative vote of two
thirds is required to adopt the resolu-
tion
Prohibition leaders said the major
ity for the resolution fulfilled their ex-
pectations. as they had not hoped for
a two-thirds vote of those present.
Administration leaders last night
thought 1t unlikely that similar re-
solution pending in the senate would
reach a vote at this session. On the
final vote 1856 votes were recorded. To
carry would have required 25S.
1t was after ten hours of remarkable
debate that the final vote came, closing
one Of the most stormy contests in
recent days in congress. Following
votes on several amendments, Repre-
sentative Hobson closed the general
debate, participated in by all house
leaders, many of whom were repeated :
ly cheered by the crowded galleries
Speaker Clark frequently admonish-
ed the spectators to maintain order.
Before the final roll call, Hobson pre-
sented an amendment, which was
adopted, giving to congress and the
states concurrently powa fQ &nl8gEf

MAY SEND CAR or
RABBITS TO RELGIANS.

Madison, S, D., Dec. 23.-The
unusual abundance of jack rabbits
this winter has made them drug
on the market and scheme is on
foot to collect a carload to send to
the starving Belgians. There will
be no difficulty about getting that
amount of rabbit meat together as
a few organized hunts would pro-.
duce the desired result at the same
time affording fine sport Ecr the
hunters. The only difficulty is in
getting ship to take fresh meat.
IL this can be overcome South Da-
kota can furnish every man. wo-
man and child in Belgium with a
pair OF jack rabbits.
Some one has suggested that
sending jackrabbits to the native
land of the Belgian hare will be
like carrying Goals to Newcastle,
but in reply it is asserted that ev-
cry hare in Belgium has been scar
ed to death long ere this and 1t
may be necessary after the war to
appeal to' South Dakota for new
stock.

Pearls and Rubies.

Pearls may be found nearly any
where in waters inhabited by oysters
or mussels. Some OF Cznaja's fresh
water pearls have fairly high value.
The Mississippi has also yielded val
liable pearls Rubies have usually
come from the Eagt-India or Ceylon
though South America has furnished
some good specimens. Oil wells are
really excavations into underlying
lakes or fields of petroleum, gener-
ally found on this continent just above

Tonic for COURAGE.

A tonic for courage is the eleventh
chapter of Hebrews. A person can
not rise from the reading of this roll
Of heroes without being more heroic.
Courage is contagious; we become
brave by associating with the brave, ir
literature and in life. The mind thai
is stored with the great words of hero
ism is least likely to stoop to deeds of
misunderstanding
