THE HARRooM BANNED.

A man who would enlist for military
service must gain mastery over him
self. A like mastery is needed in all
civilian service. There is no place of
worthy service where the barroom is
not banned. Both booze and the
barroom must go from Canada, as
vodka" has gone from Russia and as
the public house is condemned in
Britain. The unfit cannot SURVIVE

DRY TERRITORY.

OF total of 2,973.s90 square miles
in the United States, 2,236,062 are pro-
hibition territory. The population Of
the United States is 91,972,266. OF
this population 4S,11S,394 persons now
reside in territory in which the liquor
traffic is outlawed. In other words,
about 80 per cent of the area of the
United States is under prohibition and
approximately "a per cent of the total
population of the country resides in
this territory.

q vista of fluctuations and regrets.
III l could have my chance again!"
he murmured.
so many wish that voice near
him answered. And he looked up, but
once again he was alone, and he did
not know who had spoken.
Then, through the void, he saw q
luminous line, which seemed to ex-
tend upward from where he stood for
an unreasonable distance. He fol-
lowed that spidery cord, and gradually
he began to make out little object,
lying motionless at the end Of it. He
realized that it was his body. The
silver cord had not yet been loosed.
IF could have my chance again =
he thought wistfully.
And he began to make his way,
hand over hand, along that slender
rope Of life, that swayed and trembled
over the fathomless void beneath
him. The distance seemed an endless
one. But little by little he seemed
to be approaching the end. And then
he seemed to be above his body, and
looking down at it.
The effort was an impossible one.
In spite of all his yearning, he could
not stir that corpse into life. Looking
about him he saw, like phantoms, the
faces of his wife and daughter. Both
kneeled and both were weeping.

Blind Tiger In
Gainesville Gets
5 Year Sentence

Gainesville, Dec. lin the cir
cult court here yesterday very little
was done, but some of that little will
be remembered long time by those
who were present and heard it. Judge
Willis tried to make it plain that
if the offenders were arrested,
brought before his court and con-
victed he would break up blind
tigering in Gainesville, If the provis-
ions of the law would permit him to
do it.
A negro, Sam Tucker by name,
was before him for sentence as a
common liquor dealer. Sam had
plead guilty, perhaps under the i'm
preston that course would secure a
light sentence for MIN. But if that
had been his hope. it was rudely
shattered. Sam was an old offender
That. however, ought to be under

His case also showed that he was
one of exceptional cunning, be-
cause when the officers knew the IL
quor had been carried to his house
he almost baffled them before they
found it, in one OF those places of
concealment so wildly portrayed in
certain kinds of literature.
In passing sentence upon him for
five years hard labor in the State
prison Judge Willis took occasion to
lecture Sam, and the lecture is what
will be remembered. 1t was plain
enough to be understood even by a
degenerate, which very man must
be who engages in blind tigering,
and especially by one possessed of
the animal cunning Sam has He
concluded the remarks by telling
Sam he would take pleasure in hang
ing him If the law permitted him to
do so.

Suspected Schooner Seized
By i. S. Government

Pensacola, Dec 1.-THE auxiliary
schooner Lucy H., which for years
peacefully piled between Pensacola
and ST. Andrews hauling rosin and
turpentine, is now IN the hands OF
the United States, charged with vic.
]ating the neutrality of the country
whose flag she flies, by landing arms
and soldiers on Mexican soil against
the peace and dignity of that revolu-
ton ridden republic.
The Lucy H., tied up at Baylen
street wharf, was seized by Deputy
Collector Weeks, in charge of the
Pensacola Office, and within a short
time thereafter the government had
made fast the proceedings, institut-
ing q libel in the United States court
and then United States Marshal Per-
kins took command.
1T is the charge, as brought by the
United States government that the
Lucy H., on her recent mysterious
voyage, landed arms, ammunition
and soldiers near the Mexican oil
fields at TuXpam and incidentally
left two of her crew there.
The Lucy H., went out of Pensa-
cola in September, loading her arms
opd opop,up;f;on ot NIGHT Sba
cleared for Havana, which was a
regular proceeding, but instead Of
going there went into Key West, the
captain saying he was compelled to
put in on account Of a storm. When

Key West she is said to have had
Villa officers. She remained about
there for several weeks and left at
night. failing to secure her clearance

The ownership of the Lucy H., Is
as much a mystery as her where

years ago by the Pensacola Live
Stock & Poultry Co., said to have
been an offshoot or have some con.
nection with the Silver Springs Dis
tillery. 1t is understood that thu
Pensacola Live Stock Co., sold the
schooner to the Villa revolutionist
few days before she sailed from
Pensacola, but the change of owner

Before Mans Time,

According to biologists. the oceanic
waters have made many incursions
upon the continents and at times
have nearly submerged them. Long
ago, even in a geologic sense, before
the birth of the Appalachian or Rocky
mountains, the sea made frequent Wis.
its to the interior of our continent
and left. after each retreat, a sandy,
muddy, or limy deposit mixed with
shells and other organic remains,
which later became solidifed into
rock. Were not the organic remains
still found in the deposits, it would
be difficult to believe that the ances.
tors of many present-day sea animals
once lived along the beaches of an an.
cient inland sea.
