Business Men
Help Fight
Liquor

Everybody has accepted the
truism that "a corporation has no
SOUL" but everybody is equally GER
tain that a corportion has purse;
and since the efficiency" talk has
been elected into the arguments of
prohibitionists, one after another OF
the big corporations and of the
business firms of the county Is COM
ing out boldly with prohibition
rules for the employment of its men.
1t is dawned upon them that a
fellow with little booze in him,
or a fellow who is getting over the
might before" is crippled for his
work, is usually unreliable and
therefore a "money-loser" for the
company; and no successful business
man is going to tolerate money
losers
There has also developed consid-
erablepublic opinion regarding the
safety phase of sobriety among those
who have to do with the public SER
vice companies; and one after an
! other they are issuing orders SINH

Seattle Electric Company:
! Employees must abstain while on
duty from smoking or chewing to-
bacco, and from the use of intoxi-
cants. The habithual use of liquor,
the frequenting of places where IL
quor is sold or carrying liquor
about the person while on duty or
about the premises of the company
IS forbidden.
1T has been necessary during the
past few months to remove from the
service several trainmen who have
not observed the above rule. AS we
have stated many times before. there
ms. no place in the railroad business
for any one who drinks intoxicants
We will certainly not tolerate the
use of liquor by trainmen either on
or off duty if we can prevent it, az

possesses to be able to do his worl

Famous "sone Cave"

An extraordinary bone cave" may
be seen in the island of Teneritfe. II
is situated near the summit OF lofty
sea cliff near Orotava, close to the
small plain Of lie Paz, where peace
was finally made between the conquer
ing Spaniards and the Guanches, the
original Inhabitants OF the island.
Here the Guanches made their last
stand, and this cave formed a shelter
for the small remnant left Of the
tribesmen after the Spanish had finish
ed with them. In former times the
place had evidently been a burial
ground for the Guanches, and when
first discovered number of mummies
were found in it; now, however. only
a huge pile OF bones remains. Access is
obtained by descending a rope through

GAVE PROOF OF HIS NERVE
Journalist in Sunny Venezuela Had II,
and It Was Lucky Possession
for Him.

The Trinidad papers publish story
which tends to prove that romance
such as delights the small boy and
leads him away from home is still
found in sunny Venezuela.
Thomas Herrera, a Caracas publ
cist. committed recently the unpardon-
able sin Of writing sarcastic pam
phlet against President Gomez Of Vene-
zuela. One night the police swooped
down on his house and extended to
him an invitation to take a free out
ing on the torpedo boat Ell Rayo,
which was waiting for him at La Quay
ra.
On board the small craft Herrera
found, with very mixed feelings, the
man whose presses had printed the
pamphlet and friend guilty Of send
ing copies Of 1t through the mails. The
torpedo boat steamed toward the Of
fing and but for the thought Of posi-
BILE untoward developments the three
friends enjoyed the free excursion
keenly. Yet the memory of things
which had in the past befallen unde-
sirable journalists in the course of
like outings convinced Herrera that
he had better look out for accidents.
A brilliant conversationalist, he in
gratiated himself with the officers OF
Ell Rayo and quite naturally was ask
ed after the MONDAY meal to take a
hand at cards Ia the course Of the
game he dropped a card under the ia.

stead brought to view the captains

ed on the deck wounded Herrsras
friends overpowered the second mate
and secured all the guns The crew
was offered the choice between lead
and a quick run to Trinidad
When Trinidad was reached every
body followed the three daredevils
ashore, for little did the crew care
TO face court-martial for having al.
lowed themselves to be captured.
Herrera then indited a beautiful proc.
lamation TO the people of Venezuela,
telling them how to get rid OF the ty.
rant Gomez and instancing what a
man of nerve had done, alone.
