THE JUGGLER.
 Ladies and Gentlemen: l will now show you how the saloon helps your town financially:
 With your kind permission, 1 shall represent the saloon MT. Jones here will represent your town.
 You see this roll of bills? It con tains twenty thousand dollars in cash (the exact amount of revenue paid by the saloons of your town). You see l now put this twenty thousand dollars down in MT. Jones left-hand pocket Now, shall give anyone here one hundred dollars in gold who will prove to this audience that MT. Jones is not exactly twenty thousand dollars richer than he was before An, l see no one is foolish enough to claim this one hundred dollars.
 Whats that? Will l explain how can afford to be so generous? With pleasure.
 You see, while you were watching me put twenty thousand dollars into
 
 taking this other roll here out of his right-hand pocket. Now this larger roll contains two hundred thousand dollars (the amount of money received by the saloons of your town from your citizens every year). And so you see that MT. Jones, instead of being twen- ty thousand dollars richer than he was before, is really one hundred and eighty thousand dollars poorer.
 Strange you didn't notice that" you say. Not at all. You see, l made so much fuss about the twenty thousand dollars l was putting into MT. Jones left-hand pocket that I kept you from seeing me take the two hundred thou sand dollars from his right-hand pock- ct.
 Every pickpocket knows this old trick.-The American Issue.

WANTED. CONVICTSr

Warden Talcott of the North Dakota penitentiary was recently summoned as witness before the United States senate committee which is investigat- ing charges of attempts to fix the prices of tibers used in the manufac- ture of twine. The warden told a hard-luck story about the difficulty of getting convict labor. He testified that the prohibition law of the state was so effective that they did not have enough convicts to operate the peni. tentiary twine plant.

BETTER OFF WHEN DRIVEN OUT

Just before Rockford, H., voted dry one cf the saloonkeepers of the town, addressing a meeting of the Retail Liquor Dealers association, is report ed to have said:
 If this town goes dry-as it prob ably will-you'll pLt up an awful howl. But cheer up! You'll be better off when you're driven out of the busi- ness. l can count on the fingers of one hand all of you who are really making more than wages. The brew. cries are getting the money. You'll not lose anything financially by be- ing forced into other businesses. Most Of you will gain by the change. Near ly everyone of you is going down hill physically. Your saloons are a long way from being health resorts. You get about as much bad air in the course of day as any set of men in this town. Then most of you take too much of your own medicine and too little exercise. But you'll keen on just as long as you're in the busi. ness, and you'll stay in it until you are driven out. And l think the time has come"

There is not a hotel manager in New York recently said one who manages about the largest hotel this city has, but would be glad to abol- ish the bar if he could" And he fur ther declared, Hotel managers would be glad to see prohibition in force, so far at least as it affects our business, as the bar is nothing to us but a nui- sance and embarrassment and decid- ed liability"

IS IMPOSSIBLE
TO RETURN HERE

Postmaster William F. Young's
work in Hawaii is greatly appreciat-
ed by the postoffice department and
1t would like to see him come back,
but this he looks upon as impossible.
A letter received in the last mail
from the mainland by Acting Post.
master William C. Peterson from
Young contains this information. 1;
is written from his home In Altapass,
North Carolina, and dated Septem-
Der 6.
Young says he expected to be call
ed to Washington in August, but was
not, and that he might now be called
at any moment. This Is taken to
mean the postoffice department may
again urge him to return to Honolulu
and serve out the sremaining two
years of HIS unexpireeA term. or else
assign him to mainland postmaster
ship. The climate hefe. however, Is
to the-s hath OF Mrs.
Young, which Young says makes It
impossible for him 10 consider re-
turning here.
In the same mail the acting post.
master received a letter; from the
new first assistant postmaster gener-
al, John C. Rooms, former chief In
spector of the postoffice inspection
service, notifying him that he is act.

annually to attract visitors to Homo.
iulug and these islands from all over
the world. They come here and not a
man at the wharf dressed so he can
be located quickly. and it is hotfoot
for the tourist to locate living apart
ments. This gentleman further says;
Mr.. Webster, the information l want
as tourist coming to the islands is
that which receive at the time
land here. After | have been here
week or two and use my eyes, ears
and Judgment, l ask no questions and
do not care for any more information
The charm OF these islands beauties
is what holds me here"
Many tourists come with other or
similar complaints and send them
over to the Promotion Committee
rooms for answers to their queries,
believing that It is the business and
duty of the men In charge of this work
to answer the questions asked. A
great many persons say they cannot
secure results which are satisfactory.
Wake up, Mr.. A. P. Taylor and
assistants, copy a few of the Los An
geles, Cal, glad-hand methods Of well
coming tourists who come to Homo
lulu. Put a representative Of your
committee on the docks or aboard the
incoming vessels in uniform, and q

proach him and hand him the sought
for information right off the bat.

ELEPHANT PULLS BRAKE
CORD, STOPS EXPRESS

UDALL, Kan.-A fast Santa Fe
train was brought to sudden stop
on the grade just north of Udall by
two jerks on the cord connected with
the air brakes. The conductor ran
forward to investigate and found that
an elephant, which was being shipped
in the baggage car. had his trunk over
the cord. He wouldn't let go and the
cord had to be cut on each side Of the
trunk before the air could be released
and the train proceed.
