THE TEARFU1 GIRL

There is certain girl l know, a pretty
little elf,
Who spends almost her entire thoughts
in pity for herself:
Her glossy tresses, raven black, cause
her to weep a pond
She is so sorry for herself because they
are not blond.
Her eyes, when dry, are very bright.
and very brown, tits true;
But they are almost always wet, be-
cause they are not blue
She is of medium height, and when she
sees someone quite tall
She weeps all day in keenest pain be-
cause she is so small.
But IL she meets some tiny girl whom
she considers fair,
Then that she Is so big herself she
sobs in great despair.
When out upon a promenade her tears
she cannot hide,
To think she Is obliged to walk while
other folks can ride.
But If she drives. why then she weeps
1T is so hard to be
Perched stiffiy in a carriage seat while
other girls run free.
She used to cry herself quite sick to
think she had to go
Month after month to dreary schools:
that was her constant woe.
But on her graduating day, my! how
her tears did run!
1t seemed SO sorrowful to know that
her school life was DONE
One day she wept because she saw a
funeral train go by
1t was so sad that she must live while
other folks could die.
And really all her friends will soon
join with her in those tears,
Unless she takes brighter view of
life ere many years.

Bread Leavened With Snow.

The use of fresh dry snow as a leav
ening agent is not new. but the way IN
which it acts seems to be misunder
stood to some extent. The popular eS
PLANTATION is that the raising of the
dough is d'peIt$ ammonia in the snow
AS matter of fact. snow contains but
a very slight amount Of free ammonia
probably not more than one part in
million. This quantity is. of course. by
far too small to cause any expansion
of the dough The ieavening action
is due to the entangled air in the snow.
The air expands on heating TO several
times its original volume. thus ex-
panding the dough. Steam is formed
at the same time and aids in the rising
process.-EXchange

$4,000 ACRES FOR CAMPERS
AVAILABLE IN NEW ENGLAND
Government Will Lease Five Acre
Tracts at IS Per Year.

! There has been widespread interest
In New England states In the decision
Of the United States forestry bureau to
open to summer campers and vacation
lists 100000 acres of public lands in the
White mountains of New Hampshire,
/ and many have taken 1t for granted
that the terms offered by the govern
ment, s. per annum for tracts Of FIVE
acres for each person. the leases TO run
for thirty years, will be taken advan-
tage of by thousands of persons next
summer
But there are some aspects of the
offer that are likely to make it less at
tractive on closer Investigation The
rate specified is less nominal than
would appear at first sight. for where
as So a year for five acres is cheap
enough and thirty year lease would
cost only $50. it must be considered
that there are in New Hampshire.

and inquiry at the state forestry COM
mission shows that any quantity Of
such land can be purchased on lakes

may do if they possess the initiative.

TO VOTE ON LIQUOR ISSUE.
Three Hundred Illinois Towns to Set
tie Question at the Polls In April.

Three Hundred Illinois Towns TO Set
tile Question at the Polls In April.
Some 300 cities and rOwns of Illinois
will vote on the wet and dry question
next April as the result Of petitions
filed both by the saloon and anti-salOon
forces In about One-third of the local
tiles the vet faction is seeking to re-
gain control of the districts. while in
the remainder the drys are trying to
drive out the saloons.
In the district surrounding Chicago
most of the petitions were filed by the
vets In an effort to recover ground lost
In the last test, which, coming soon
after women were given the ballot, re-
suited disastrUusly for the saloon
forces. Among the cities are Elgin.
Sterling. De Kalb. Rochelle. Batavia.
Plainfeld. Geneva. Plano. Yorkville,
Hinckley and Sycamore.
Apparently the vets have given up
hope OF regalning Rockford. the largest
dry city In the state. No petition was
fled there. despite the fact that the
city for years has been one OF the prin-
cipal backgrounds Of the wet and dry
forces. The vets also ignored large
number of smaller towns which were
voted dry at the last election.
In addition to these larger cities the
anti-saloon forces filed petitions in near
ly 200 towns in the western and cen
trail parts OF the state.
The drys are counting TO a great ex-
tent upon the increasing number OF
women who are going to the polls at
every election.

Prohibition scored signal victory
in Mississippi recently when the leg
islature by an overwhelming majority
passed the Weakley bill. But one vote
was cast against the measure in the
senate and only twelve members of
the lower house went on record
against it. Under the new law no
person may bring into the state more
than one quart of spirituous liquors
every fifteen days, and no person is
permitted to have more than one
quart in his possession at any one
time. The simple possession of more
than one quart is prima facie evidence
of running a "blind tiger" no sale
having to be established as heretofore.
An amendment proposing to make it
a violation of the law for a person to
have any liquor in his possession at
any time met with such strong and
hearty support as to inspire hope and
confidence that one more bound will
place this dear old state upon the
pinnacle of absolute prohibition.

"Rum and efficient public service
are impossible" said Mayor Smith
"My orders to the heads of all depart
ments are to suspend from duty with
out pay any employee found using
liquor while at work, or found to be
under the influence Of liquor while at
work, or showing any evidence what
ever of having used liquor while on
duty. The suspension is equivalent to
dismissal where the facts warrant
SUCH" The order issued by the di-
rector of public safety alone affects
1000 employees, including policemen,
firemen and electricians.

Six property owners at Anchorage,
Alaska, the new town on the govern
ment's railroad, have been notified by
the Federal land Office that they must
show cause why their lots should not
be forfeited to the government for
violation of the land office stipulation
prohibiting the sale of liquor at
Anchorage. The action is the result
of a letter received by the chief of the
Alaska field division of the, general
land office from Secretary of the In
terror Lane saying that the govern
ment desires strict enforcement of the
prohibition stipulation.
