Grotesque Sea Creature.

The walruses or "sea horses" of the old navigators are the strangest and most grotesque of all sea mammals. Their large, rugged heads, armed with two long ivory tusks, and their huge swollen bodies, covered with hairless, wrinkled and warty skin, give them a formidable appearance unlike that of larger than most seals, the old males weighing from 2,000 to 5000 pounds and the females about two-thirds as much. Walruses show great devotion and disregard of their own safety in defending their young.

1t is not likely any OF them really be-

They know the freer liquor flows in

who have been used to beer and wines
would be more contented could they
have those milder beverages in West

APPlYiNe COMMON SENSE.

NE0tu fAUllSTSs
Some years ago the National Cash
Register plant on the outskirts of LAY
ton, Ohio. was surrounded by insight
~ novels, shaclls, and vacant lots. A
lot Of small boys made life miserable
for the corporation by breaking win.
nows in its factory. The National Cash
Register people decided that IL these
boys had something interesting to do
they would as lief do the right thing
Rs the wrong thing. So meeting was
called of all these little urchins. They
were told that they were the coming
citizens OF Dayton, and that as such
the company was interested in them.
The company also promised the boys
TO have all vacant ground round tho
plant plowed up, furnish seeds, and
give prizes to the boys who produced
the best crops OF vegetables, each boy
TO own his own crop. The city fathers
laid apart streets for the boys TO mar.
ket their produce in each morning be-
fore school. The hundreds of boys
not only kept out OF mischief, but
cleaned up quite a bit of pocket mon
ey, and were happy Best OF all, they
learned the lesson Of work and thrift.
Then the Cash Register people offered
prizes 70 the boys who planted flowers
IN their owr front and back yards. The
result Is that for blocks around the
company's plant one sees cottages and
houses smothered in flowers aud

Ohio Indiana and Illinois operators
The universal testimony is that where
prohibition prevails there men work
better than where they are free to get
liquor when they wish 1t. In wet
mining towns paydays are always cele,
brated by so many miners that work is
practically at a standstill for a day
or two thereafter Every possible oc.
casion for a holiday is seized and the
men do not get over the effects for an.
other day. Which force will produce
more tonnage, $50 miners depressed
by too free libations working an aver.
age Of four days a week or 100 men in
normal condition working six days
a week? All experience shows the hun.
dred men are preferred to the $50.
So If West Virginia has lost 80 per
cent. of its miners on account of pro.
hibition, which is to be doubted, the
coal operators there are better off
than those in wet" states. who also
suffer from shortage of help, plus in.
efficiency due to the mems devotion
to the cheering cup. The West vir.
ginia operators are unfair to prohibI.
