LIKE PROHIBITION.

The Gothenburg Independent, O
weekly paper published In Nebraska,
wrote 10 the editor Of the Denver Bull
letin (ofiiclal organ Of union labor In
Colorado) asking about the effect Of
prohibition as II affects the working
people Of that state. The following
reply was received:
THE law In nine months has work.
cd n wonderful revolution for good |;
and at least rs per cent OF the union
voters who were against the amend
ment would support IL now. The wage
earners have ceased TO spend their
money for booze, and are buying bread
and clothing for their families.
would say on the whole the condition
of Colorado working people Is at least
20 per cent better as a result Of state
wide prohibition. and the city OF Den
yer Is a great deal more prosperous.
All the storerooms vacated by saloons
are now occupied by legitimate enter
prlses, and the citizens only wonder
why they tolerated the booze Joints as
long as they did. The increase In saw
ings deposits has been remarkable.
and merchants report collections from
40 to 60 per cent better.
Take the Bulletin as a concrete H.
lustration. II was prophesied by our
wet friends that labor paper couldn't
exist In dry town. We lost about
fifty dollars a month In liquor adver-
Using, and some $50 bartenders and
brewery worker subscribers. Today,
we are doing four times the advertis-
Ing business. and have five times as
many subscribers as when Denver had
$50 saloons and five breweries In OPP
erntion. Besides, the subscribers and
advertisers pay their bills much more
promptly" ...

handsome new 100000 prison which
after IL months Of prohibition Is prac-

that there are not nearly enough men

Of arrests now are for speeding and

BOYS PROHIBITION SPEECH.

The saloon question was the subject
OF debate before IA Pennsylvania club
Of boys. One young fellow was on the
side opposed to the saloon. He was
the youngest and smallest boy on either
team and was not accustomed to de-
bate. When he arose to speak. he had
bad case Of stage fright and forgot
what he had prepared. The boys fa.
ther was a drunkard and the little fel.
low won the debate by simply saying:
"If any Of you do not believe the
saloon Is an evil. just look at our
home. No one can deny what 1t has
done for u.s."

Curious Swiss Church.

The most singular church In the

Trapped In a Secret Room.

ChatswOrth, IL it has no secret room,
has at least one chamber with a pecu-
liarity which once trapped the great
Lord Salisbury. He was staying in the
house and when the rest of the men
went out shooting betook himself to
the library. Presently he stumbled by
chance on the way up to the gallery
which runs round 1t and went up.
But when he wanted to descend he
could not find the door, yelled by sham
books, leading down again. So there
he was marooned, and the duke, COM
ing in search of him on his return,
could not give him any assistance, SO
the great man had to wait until expert
assistance could be procured.-London

bear more than its share" of the duty
of national defense.
No other state, not even those ten
times as big, has appropriated more,
In proportion TO population Vermont

our share, you know" says the gov

reappointing practically all of the
county game wardens, including the re-
naming of George H. Chaffee as warden
for this county. Mr.. Chaffee has been
warden for many years and is in high

gate a case of dogging deer. He
found that dog of the mongrel shep-
herd type belonging to John Master
son, had chased and worried a deer
driving him into a brook on the farm
of Van Ness Dearborn, who saw the
affair. He drove off the dog with
club and hauled the deer out of the
brook. Dearborn then went for help
to take the deer to his barn. On his
return he found the animal had made
its way into the woods. The owner of
the dog was seen by the warden and
made solemn promise that the dog
would be taken care of No arrests
were made, but the case was left open
and will be reported to Commissioner
Leavens. Dearborn said the deer was
badly bitten about the neck and body
and was tired out from its long run.
