That little business, no less thaA big
business, is bettered by prohibition Is
shown BY the following story told by
DIR. Harvey w Wiley:
1T WAS Saturday afternoon in one
Of the interior counties Of Arkansas.
Hundreds Of vehicles Of all sorts
drawn BY mules, most Of which were
In good condition. we're picketed
around the public square. The great
department store. which my guide
owned. was filled with cOiOred people.
They were buying most literally and
were extremely well-dressed and we'll
behaved. I was struck with their ap-
pearance aud prosperity and hsppI-
ness. and was curious TO know why
1t was that these people seemed 20
much better of than those I had seen
IN other localities. I asked the pro-
prietOr, who was freely giving credit
to his customers, II he did not lose on
many accounts. He replied: Never
One.' How do you account for their
prosperity asked. Strictly en-
forced prohibition was his answer.
III We were to permit the saloon to
come into this county again, 1t would
wreck our prosperity; 1t would ruin
my business and send this town back
SO years."

Begqars' Paradise.

In China begging is in the nature OF
an art. and the various sorts OF sup
plicants have been classified, until
now it is known that there are at
least thirty classes Of travelling mendi-
capts.
The passenger boats know them
and do not attempt to collect passage
money, for they sleep on the open
deck, and. curiously enough. pay for
whatever rice they require. This be-
ing the case. rather than have any
trouble with them and gain their
enmity, the boatnen allow them tree
passage.
When they reach the city they put
up Ct the beggar hotel near the Big
Pagoda and let the beggar headman
know OF their arrival Soon the resu-
lar allowance is forthcoming and the
