just across the street. the proprietors
Of which were reported to bitterly re-
sent the prohibition facts presented.
Threats were said to have been made
by them, so that the special night
watchman employed gave much of the
time to careful guarding Of this ex-
hibit. The town appears to be some
thing Of rendezvous for per
sonal liberty agitators. These people
were the first to "size up" the exhibits.
and. continually some Of them were cir
culating among the people ready for
discussion. tE.
One day a foreign-born citizen stood
at the w. @. T. o. booth and fell into
conversation. he professed to believe
in temperance all right, but he had
right to do as he pleased in his own
home, etc. Presently he was Joined by
another man who talked loudly after
the same fashion. Soon quite little
company had gathered to listen and
occasionally take part in the '.free for
ALL" Suddenly right into their midst
lurched a man who Immediately be-
gan to take part in the discussion. He
was drunk and said SO, but informed
them that liquor was the worst curse
in the world; that though he was
drinking man he meant to vote dry ev-
cry time. He was allowed to talk un-
til everyone present realized the situ-
alton, then the director Of the exhibit
turned to the two defenders of per-
sonal liberty and remarked, Gentle.
men, here is a sample Of the prod
uct of what you are advocating and
defending. How do you like the e1-
hibit?" There was no reply and soon
they had disappeared, seeming to just
melt away In silence.

ing the wreck. but lost their store Of
provisions, and we were q day there
making the damaged canoe again ser
viceable.
This delay gave me my only glimpse
Of D'Artigny, still dripping from his
involuntary bath, and SO busily en-
gagged at repairs as to be scarcely con-
scious Of my presence on the bank
above him. Yet can hardly say that,
for once he glanced up, and our eyes
met, and possibly he would have Joined
me, but for the sudden appearance Of
Cassion, who swore at the delay, and
ordered me back to where the tent
had been hastily erected. noticed
D'Artigny straighten up, angered that
Cassion dared speak to me so harshly,
but had no wish then to precipitate
an open quarrel between the two men,
and SO departed quickly. Later, Fa-
ther Allouez told me that in the over
turning of the canoe the young sieur
had saved the life of the Algonquin
chief, bringing him ashore unconscious,
helpless from broken shoulder. This
accident to Altudah led to the trans
ferring of the injured Indian to our
canoe and caused Cassion to join
'D'Artigny in advance.
It was five days later, and in the
heart of all that was desolate and
drear, when the long-sought opportu-
nifty came in most unexpected fashion.
We had made camp early, because Of
rough water ahead, the passage Of
which it was not deemed best to at
tempt without careful exploration. So,
while the three heavily laden canoes
drew up against the bank, and pre-
pared to spend the night, the leading
canoe was stripped and sent forward.
manned only with the most expert Of
the Indian paddlers to make sure the
perils Of the current. From the low
bank to which I had climbed l
watched the preparations for the dash
through those madly churning waters
above. Cassion was issuing his orders
loudly, but exhibited no inclination to
accompany the party, and suddenly
the frail craft shot out from the
shore, with D'Artigny at the steering
paddle, and every Indian braced for
his task, and headed boldly into the
smother. They vanished as though
swallowed by the mist, Cassion and
half dozen soldiers racing along the
shore line in an effort to keep abreast
of the laboring craft
It was a wild, desolate spot in which
we were, a mere rift in the bluffs,
which seemed to ,overhang us, covered
with a heavy growth of forest. The
sun was still an hour high, although
it was twilight already beside the
river, when Cassion and his men came
struggling back to report that the ca
noe had made safe passage, and, TAX
ing advantage of his good humor, I
proposed a climb up an opening Of
the bluff, down which led a deer trail
plainly discernible.

upward. "The run over the rocks will

the trail is not steep. Faith! will
goS now, just to show that am at
liberty"
He laughed, an unpleasant sound to
1t, yet made no effort to halt me. The
rude path followed was narrow, but
not steep enough to prove wearisome,
and, as 1t led up through a crevice
in the earth, finally emerged at the
top of the bluff at a considerable dis
tance above the camp had left. Thick
woods covered the crest, although there
were open plains beyond, and was
obliged to advance to the very edge
in order to gain glimpse of the river.
Once there, however, with footing
secure on a nat rock, the scene out
spread was one Of wild and. fascinat-
ing beauty. Directly below me were
the rapids.

BAD JOKE.

BAD JOKE.
"Alcohol as a food is a Joke, and
rather a bad joke at that" affirms DR..

confident that alcohol was a food be-
cause it could be burned in the body.
Now, we know that the total amount
Of alcohol which can be burned In the
body in "a hours is only two
ounces, which would be about the same
amount of energy as one good slice OF
bread and butter; that is to say, about
one-tenth of the fuel required to keep
US alive.
'If we were to attempt to use al
cohol as a serious source of nourish-
ment we should be blind drunk be-
fore we had taken more than one
fifth of the amount needed for a days

Moreover, even in the small amount
which can be daily consumed and
burned up in the body, its poisonous
effects are at least 80 per cent greater
than its food value.

gear almost twice as much as it puts
fuel into its fire-box. The amount Of
malt taken with 1t in beer and fruit

EVEN PENNSYLVANIA.

That supposedly impregnable strong
hold of lIquordom, the state Of Pennsyl-
vania, is, like every other state of the
Union, giving way before advancing
prohibition sentiment. Five years ago
it had two dry counties; today 1t has
eleven. In 1911 there was one saloon
for every 6S1 persons; today there Is
one for every 1877. In 1911 there were
about 700 square miles Of dry terri
tory; today there are 12,3O0. In 1911,
CO,OOO people of the state lived in mo-
license territory; today there are

ing a new drilling contract. Two
weeks ago Cal Stewart and II. T..
Draughon went to Waco, Tex. to con-
fer with other members in regard to
making another contract. The result
of their visit was the making OF a
contract with Hugh Sturm to finish
the well. and the rig which arrived
Saturday is the one to be used by
him in completing the well. They
have some preliminary work to do,
such as building a new derrick, set
ting the machinery ETC. before the
actual work of drilling will begin, but
it is thought this work will be COM
pleted by Monday, at which time ac-
tual drilling will begin, Although
this well is two or three hundred
feet, some good showings have been
had and the prospects Of developing
a pool of oil there are very good.
The other rig which arrived Sat
urday is to be used in drilling the
first test for the Life Stake Oil COM
pany miles northeast of town. Ell
linger & Rogers of Wichita Falls,
Texas, are the contractors on this
well and as tho derrick had been
erected before the machinery arrived
all the preliminary work required at
this location will be the setting of
the machinery and it is thought that
actual drilling Will begin there by
Monday and possibly by Saturday.
The Life Stake Oil company is one
of the strongest ever organized in
the southern portion of the state and
they proposed to give the territory
adjacent to Marietta east of town

three wells, and, of course, if poo
of oil is discovered many more vii

Rigs for TWO Wells Arrive.

Last Saturday two rigs for drilling
oil wells in the vicinity of Marietta
were unloaded here and hauled to
The scene of operations. One of these
rigs was for the test well on Cal
Stewards place east of town, from
which the Skillern rig was removed
two or three weeks ago and which
is the test well being drilled by the
Waco Petroleum company.

drilled to a depth of between two

using was instituted and was settled
by parties other than the contractor
