ScandalouS!

Out in Denver, Colorado, out where
the Rocky Mountains do business the
whole year round; out where the eter-
nal SHOWS of old Pixies Peak are
always glistening in the sun; out
where forty years ago trapper and
hunter and miner met in a then little
mining camp and drank their whis-
key raw-they have prohibition It.
was hard fight, but the first oe
last January Old John was voted out.
Bar rooms and dance halls-and their
number was something wonderful-all
the old bats who erstwhile flutterel
on Holiday street.-the tin horn gar-
blers and the three card monte men
that sort of rubbish packed up and left
the town. And Denver, Of course still
floundering with blind tigers on the
side, is great resort city. The air
out there kills doodle bug on sight
and to those mountains, with their fur
and balsam ever freely flowing, go
thousands of lungers to ive-and die!
And that's neither here nor there
That is the prologue-the stage set
ting to what we are going to say. Last
Saturday night when Judge Hughes
was being widely applauded in vast
auditorium that could not accommo-
date the crowd there were men and
women who joined in the wild chorus
of:
Here's to Charles Hughes
Drink FER down, drink 'er down.
And what does this show? This
shows beyond anything in this sad
world that language lives, and, sug
gests that thirst survives. It wa,
: told in the dispatches that these line,
were sung to the tune of a Brown col
lege song-but those who have see-
Brete Harte's ''Sandy Morton'' DRUM
on the stage and heard him singing
Oh! yer's yer Sandy Morton
Drink him down!
Oh! yer 8 yer Sandy Morton
Drink him down!
Oh! yer's yer Sandy Morton
All alive and just a-snortin
Oh! yer s yer Sandy Morton

Know that the tune to that old So,

Proved Its Worth.

When Lydia Il. Pinkham's remedies

powers were doubted and had to be

the most beneficial effects from the use
of these medicines, their value has be-
come generally recognized, and Lydia

the standard medicine for women.
