once he did not come. Alice had
done and said such wild things
from the mixed poison Of morphine
and drink, that her hostess was
shocked Inundated. Alice could
only retain a misty picture of her
maids blank expression as the girl
opened the door for her. Then Alice
CURLY ordered her to bring her a
bottle of wine. She no longer tried
to conceal the truth from the world
Why should she? Her husband had
become open in his sin against her,
She was doing less wrong to his
love than he was to her. He went
before the world with the woman
! he loved.
Early the next morning the maid
telephoned for Mrs. Shiel, who came
and found her daughter lying face
down on her bed. still wearing her
elaborate evening gown. Standing
on the table was the tray contain
ing the empty bottle and glasses,
Alice, Alice. my poor child, what
! is wrong? You will break my
heart" Mrs. Shiel said, as she threw
her arms around the child.
Alice raised her head and looked
scofnfully in her mothers face, then
moved away from her.
oh. my darling, say it is not
true, it can't be- Do you know what
this will do to you. to US, my
beautiful child, my baby? Tell
mother what brought you to this?"
Mrs. Shiel cried piteously.
Then all control seemed to desert
Alice. She screamed like an inhu-
iman thing. You would sell your
heart and soul for society. You
sold me, and now look what you
have"
! And without another word of ex.
PLANTATION she threw herself across
the bed where she remained in a
stupor. Then DR.. King came and
the largest dose of morphine Alice
had taken revealed all to him. Dr..
King paced the library as he talked
to Jack with the terrible frankness
of the physician and with the gen.
tleness of an old friend. He showed
signs of great disturbance as he
stopped and looked at Jack SOL

Alice began to gain strength

FOOD FOR THOUGHT.

The story is told that one day merchant happened to see a farmer receive a box from the depot and noticed that 1t Was from mail order house. He also noticed that the goods were right in his line. and the same he had carried for a number of years. He immediately stepped mp 10 the farmer and said: l could have sold you every article you have there for less money than you paid the Chicago house and saved you the freight be sides. Then why didn't you do 50 replied the farmer I have taken the local paper for q year and haven [ seen line about you selling fbe~a goods.

parked in other lines of business. Merchants and business men who formerly opposed prohibition on the theory that it would hurt business - are now convinced of their error and are willing that conditions should continue as they are. Business conditions have improved. Debts are being paid. Those engaged in the sa- loon business as proprietor or em- ploye are finding more congenial employment elsewhere. In fact, there are very few who would really like to return to the old conditions. Even the revenue question is being settled by the discovery of other sources of rev- enue.

What People Like to Read.

An editor i'll neighboring city has been trying a few eX- periments in an effort to ascer= tain exactly what the people like to read. He is versatile fellow. and can give the readers what they want, and his experiments have been conducted solely Tor the purpose of finding out what the something is.
 First, he ran a series of learn ed' editorials. That is, he dug deep into science and the arts. and prepared his editorials at great pains. The facts were there, the language was perfect. the ar guments sound. But the editor ials didn [ seem to take very we'll. He heard little from them, and when an editor hears little from his writings, either by way of compliment or condemnation. he knows people have paid Iit- tie attention to them.
 Then he took the simple things Of life. Told how chairs were made, and how they came
  into Use in the first place. He wrote articles aEout clothing and the styles and fashions. and talk ed about the materials and how they were prepared He heard t great deal from the articles. and knew that the people liked to read them.
 Then he ran another series, containing q great deal of senti= ment. He pictured the humble homes. the oyerWorked mothers. the mischieyous kids, the anxious fathers. He told about the sin- pie affairs of home life, and about the ways of the world as all of us know those ways. And his mail was heavier than it had eyer been. and folks patted him on the back. he said, and related to others what a wonderful writ CT he was.
 So his conclusions were that people like to read about the things they do not understand where they can learn something, and about the things they do un- derstand-where there is human sympathy and love and senti- ment. He is counted success full editor, as he ought to be, but his success has come from the simple writing which he does and not from the learned disqulsl- tions. Exchange.

GOING HARVESTING?

1
 Ii yoa are. be sure you re right
 before you go ahead. Every year.
 declares C. L. Green. general in- Isppctor in charge of the employ ment and distribution branch Of l the immigration service, thous-
 ands of men suffer unnecessary
 hardship and poverty because they do not understand the sim Iple science of finding harvesting
 work in the west. They read the news in the papers that men
 are wanted, and plunge immed- lately westward, heading vaguely
 toward Kansas City. with the idea that they have only to stop
 off the train tor out from under Iit to be snapped up by wild eyed farmers who line the railway
 track waiting for laborers. Yet
 the need k there. and every year thousands of men find work in l the fields in harvesting time. while many farmer who is short
 handed would give good pay to
 any husky immigrant for few days work.
 The press is the source of in
 formation principally relied III
 on. and the news that " Kansas needs 30.o0O harvest hands, wag- es $2.50 to S3 per day. with board Eand lodging " will cause thous- ands of men to pack their bags and start for kansas-any place in Kansas without seeking further information. The results are Of ten times tragic. Clerks, students. school teachers. and others not accustomed to manuel labor join the army of wouId-be workers, only to find that they cannot measure up to the work. Foreign CTS who speak no English. fead- i ing the call in the papers publish ed in their own tongue. infer that knowledge of English iS not necessary. They % with the Iothers. only to fin1. in m4nH# eas= es. that the farmer cannot ase ithr non-I.ngliSh speaking meh.

 Then we hear from them: Fraud fraud There k no

LIQUOR LAW
 BEING ENFORCED
State Wide Prohibition Proving
 All That Was Expected.

] Special correspondence.
 Little Rock, July 3 = The State Wide Prohibition law IS be- ing enforced. It has been dem |onstrated that 1t truly prohibits, notwithstanding the doubts that had been expressed by its oppo- nentS.
 Liquor k still being drunk in the state, but it is shipped ill by freight and express in large quantities. The law does not ap- pear to reach that particular con Idition. but it is predicted that among the laws first to be intro duced will be measures to rega- late the shipment and delivery of intoXicants into the state.
 Little Rock and q few other places are considering the ques- ton of placing tax upon liquor shipments. following the example set by Birmingham It is predict ed that 1t would produce a very considerable revenue, that would in a measure offset the loss due to the withdrawal of the saloon l license. Up to the present time, however. this has been only spec ulative. and no city has under taken to pass an ordinance.
 An outstanding feature of the Prohibition law. however, is the fact that 1t is being enforced. The Legislature has clearly de clared that it is a=felony to sell or give away liquor. and the su- preme Court has held that the law means just what it says. There have been numerous eon- victions Of boot-leeging in Gar land Cfaighead. Jefferson, Green. Miller, Pike and other counties. and the sentence is ole year in each cas fhe court has no discretion. unless ii is to as= sess q longer term. The law makes ole year the minimum At .Jonesbofo nine men We're sentenc- cd 10 year in the =Penitentiafx. al one time, and some prominent club men have been given the limit al Hot Springs. There have been q number of indictments in l Pulaski and other counties. and 1t i is expected that the business of boot-feeeiHe will be made so m popular that fewer will engage in it.
 The records at the state peni- tentiary show that about seventy conyicts have been received al ready, each with a one year sen tence for the illegal sale of li- .quor. Nearly fifty of these have been received during the last thirty days. Fully three fourths of them are negroes.
 Circuit judges everywhere are instrueting juries to see that the law is rigidly enforced, and 1t has become as dangerous to sell whisl5ey or beer surreptitiously, in violation of the state law, as 1t has been for several years to violate the federal law by selling without a government license.
 The Supreme Court finds that the statewide law repeals all pre- viouS laws providing for the pun ishment of liquor-seIling as a mis- demeanor. It is also ruled that the former laws providing fines for soliciting liquor orders. ad- ycrtising liquors in certain coun- i $. and similar acts, are not re- P-aied Hf tHe HrWfaa. and the penalties prescribed Y the old hws sill obtain In other words. all the pfoHjbit6fy laws are to be construed a> cumulative, with the heaviest penalties. that they may ba mad tte mast drastic possi- ble.
