IT. HE SHIPS I'M .L-iQUOR?.

DIES MONIES. Ia, Nov 20.The
Iowa supreme couTtwill be called upon
to decide whether or not every Des
AIoines man who orders liquor is le-
gally a bOotlegger until b e proves him
self innocent.
IA test cast was brought in Polk
county criminal court in connection
with the anti-saloon league seizure Of
six carloads of beer last August. The
defendant in the action is J. F. Malloy,
who ordered one barrel of beer on or
about August20. The foamy beverage
is still in Jail.
| Superintendent Barber, Of the tenn
iperance forces, contends the burden Of
proof is upon the liquor consumer to
show that he does not intend to use
iit illegally Attorneys for the claim
ants say that burden is upon the state.
The supreme court will decide the
i.question.
IN the trial Of the test case the
state introduced evidence showing that
1.-THE beer in question was seized, and
duced a motion to dismiss the case on
1.-The grounds that the barrel of beer
was an interstate shipment under pro-
Etection OF federal commerce laws.
FJudge Utterback has taken the motion
.under ADJUSTMENT. An appeal will be
taken In any event.
If the supreme court sustafns the
defendant the state must in the fu-
1fture prove unlawful intent with re-
4 gard to every shipment.
There's satisfaction in getting all
II OF the value that a dollar will buy
and there's thrift and prosperity
in it, too.

A Thought for the Week.

Here are two tests that reveal a
mans character: First, a man
who is a good winner and a good
loser-who neither boasts in the
first instance nor whines in the
seconds a good sort to tie to.
Second, a mans treatment of his
social or intellectual interiors is
expressive of his inner nature.
He may be able to conceal his
conceit and smallness on other
occasions, but he nearly always
reveals them when he speaks to a
servant or converses with a per-
son whom he thinks knows less
than he docs. If he is a true
gentleman you will find no differ
ence in his manner toward prince
or pauper. If he is not, his treat
ment of those he thinks below
him will be overbearing, super
ciIious or condescending and then
the real man shows out. -Ex.
