In a discussion Of the popular lit
erary taste Theodore Dresser said a
the Century club in New York:
Here is an Illuminating episode
A preacher was talking to a critic
The preacher said:
II thought you didn't like the work
OF Potts, the novelist?'
Neither do L. the critic answered
Yet in your review the other day
you declared that Potts last novel was
remarkable for it's purity, that its high
moral tone was a splendid change
from the tainted fiction Of the day, and
that you advised the public to turn to
the moral Potts, from the debasing
white slave fiction so much in vogue
Why, now, my friend, II you dislike
Potts, did you talk like that about
him?'
Il did it, the critic answered. to

BROUGHT HER BACK TO LIFE
Remarkable Cure That Was Erected
BY the Administration Of Ar
dent SplrltG

On his return to his native heath
q year or two ago, P. J. O'Keefe found
Nellie, the oldest woman in the parish
was dying.
Her friends, arriving at her home
found her lying back In her easy chair
apparently about to pass over the last
threshold. Nellie. being a good house
wife, carried a bunch Of keys at her
girdle and, thinking that she was now
gone, one OF the neighbors reached
under the folds Of her dress to find
the key that would unlock the closet
where her shroud was kept. AS the
good woman was fumbling at the cir.
die she felt a sly pinch Of her hand
and knew by that that there was still
a spark Of life remaining.
Perhaps" she suggested, "a wee
drop of brandy would revive her"
A teaspoonful Of brandy was ad-
m~inistered, but with only a Pickering
response. So the friends departed sor-
rowfully, forgetting, however, to re
move the bottle from her side. On
their return a few hours later they
discovered that the brandy had van
ished and that Nellie had completely
recovered. She lived to be more than
one hundred years old. but that"
says Mr.. O'Keefe, was the story OF
Nellie's dying"

When the local option wave hit the
county Riverside precinct went dry
Il is an accepted theory by many that
local option spells prosperity to any
community that votes dry. 1t may be
so, and if so Riverside should have at
tracted business as it never did while
demon rum was within reach in that
place. Report sayeth-yet the repor,
is not vouched for-that farmers were
in the habit of driving into Riverside
putting up their horses, and taking the
train for Okanogan where a nip could
be secured, and there do their trading
This may be Islander, however. Still
the town was incorporated and the
council voted in favor of license in the
face of violent protest. A resident OF
the town was to fall heir to the license
according to reports, but he SHE'D at
the price, which was fixed at $1,000
The Oroville boys have the price and
the nerve to tackle the license and the
chances are that they will find it 4
paying investment. 1t is further re-
ported, by grape vine route, that in
case second license in issued, the
investors in the first one will receive
a $3.50 pull back.
