San Francisco, Dec. 29.-When Mar
tha A. Shastey called members of the
California National Guard "drunks'
and "bums" it was the last straw to
Colonel George A. Shastey, formerly
of the California National Guard, and
he left her.
Shastey, now a resident of New
York, told Superior Judge Trout to-
day in his suit for divorce that when
he would leave his home to attend a

lie on the floor and scream.

PROHIBITION IN KANSAS.

The success of prohibition in Kansas
has been so complete that the liquor
interests Of the country have felt it
necessary to befoul the reputation of
the State. Through the Brewers As
ISOLATION of Massachusetts an advertise
ment was published which attempted to
show that prohibition had been a failure
in that State. Instead of taking sta
tistics from the whole State of Kansas
facts were gathered from twelve cities
of the State. In this way the death
rate in Kansas was declared to be
greater than in many other States. How
unfair to compare the death rate of a
selected list of cities with the death
rate in other States when everybody
knows the death rate in cities is greater
than in rural places; yet the rural com
munites of Kansas were left out of the
reckoning.
In an able article in January num-
Der of the Outlook Governor Arthur
Capper replies to the figures of the
liquor people and discloses their trick.
He shows that their method is another
instance of the unfair means employed
by liquor people to conceal the good eff
fects of prohibition. Testimony to the
value of prohibition in Kansas, a verit
able blessing to the business and social

WINTER SHORE.

Is this the shore where drowsy August
lay
Poppy-crowned, crimson, with her
languid eye
Fixed ever on the dim, blue, summer
sky
Feeked with white clouds, that heaven
has long been grey?
Long has Old Ocean ceased his summer
play
And, furious, hurls his angry wave
arms high;
In agony his vanguards vainly try
To pass the sodden sand that bars their
way;
The ice binds the salt meadows with a
band
And cloaks the barnacles on pile and
pier;
The sea lies sad; dark clouds hide all
above.
Is this, indeed our lazy summer strand,
And this dark tide the main we held
so dear
When Baldur ruled with Avis, God of
Love?

A CHALLENGE TO THE PEOPLE

One of the contentious of the local
option people is that if Vermonters pass
a prohibitory law they will be unable to
enforce it. Such contention, based
on alleged violations of the law in
Maine, is an insult to the intelligence
and integrity of our officers and people.
Who will be unable to enforce the law?
Our States Attorney. Why? Because
he will find greater difficulty in admin
istering the affairs OF his office if Shore
ham and Vergennes are dry like 'he
other towns of Addison County! That
is the upshot of the whole argument.
The man with ordinary intelligence be-
lieves that the States Attorney will
find matters easier to administer if all
the towns are dry, instead of all but
two but the local optionists say that
is not so. Mr.. Voter, what does your
common sense tell you in this matter?
1t is a challenge to the integrity of Off
GERS and people alike to assert that under
prohibition the law will not and can
not be enforced. 1t is an insult to good
citizenship, as good as asserting that
whereas under local option they have
civic backbone under prohibition they
will have none. AS if in Addison
County the passing of two towns from
the wet to the dry column would have
the effect oflmaking a spineless race of
our citizens. Twenty of our towns al
ready are dry. Who believes that the
making of all of them dry will have the
effect of changing the attitude of our
States Attorney toward the fulfillment
of his duty, or that the Sheriff and his
deputies will be less diligcnt in the per-
Torrance of their duty? Yet that is
the contention of the local option peo-
pie. Think it over, Mr.. Voter. Can
you trust yourself and your officers
with Addison County wholly dry, or do
we need two wet spots to give backbone
to ourselves and our officers? We be-
lieve not.

Conventionality.

Woman is much less conventional
than man. she does all the cOnven-
tional things and attacks other women
savagely for breaches of convention
But you will generally find that where
a man may with immunity break con.
ventiOn he will not do So while If Sc
crecy is guaranteed Il woman will
please herself first and repent only if
necessary. 1t follows that a man is
conventional because he respects con
vention, women conventional because
she is Nfraid of what may happen if
she does not obey convention The

TRAYS FOR EVERY USE.
A Variety Of These Useful Articles For
Every Household.

One of the most interesting details of
the modern china closet Is the tray,
Trays for mullins, for sweets and serv-
ices for tea and after dinner coffee are
as popular as the breakfast tray,
Whether or not the present status of
breakfast as movable feast is the re.
suit of the hectic existence mankind
leads today it is hard to say.
If this meal is to be served in bed a
delightful individual tray would be one
with folding legs. Such tray natu-
rally contains only service for one. A
variety of designs, however, may he
found in this style of tray with indi.
vidual sets of china suited to every
purse.
For the member of the family who
wishes only cup Of black coffee or tea
with dash Of cream perhaps small
tray containing three pieces Of silver to
which is added the cup is convenient
service.
The after dinner coffee set has its
own tray and is easily carried into the
drawing room or library. At the coun-
try house, where all sorts Of impromp-
tn meals are served in the garden, the
pantry must be supplied with trays of
every description-black or white paint
ed ones to accord with old furniture
and quaint cOttons, glass covered chintz
ones set in wicker; even perfectly plain
white enameled trays may be used.
The housekeeper's soul will delight in
the variety and beauty of this practical
adjunct to housekeeping, and her only
difficulty will be in selecting.
