Bone Dry"

Prohibition is put up against test by the bone dry" bill just passed by congress. This Is the most drastic piece of antiliquor legislation enacted in the States congress takes another step in the same direction we may have national prohibition
 Many experts on sides of the alcohol question doubt whether the nation is ready for rigid measure as the Reed amendment. It carries to the limit the principle recently by the supreme court that

 The new law r,-inforces the legislation of te, dry states, and much luther than some of them It pro- yides that neither liquor liquor advertising may be any dry Thus it automatically shuts off

 This is prohibition with vengeance. It was meant so apparently by the liquor representatives who put it forward and who astonished the celerty with which congress adopted it. Their idea to make hibition obnoxious that states dry would of and other states would be deterred by the horrible drouth and refrain from incurrng it themselves Some of the prohibition leaders agree with this view and frankly swing back King Alcohol after brief trial of the "bone dry" standard.

"Smile Of Charlie BiIl''
By L. c. ROGERS.

There are friends we oft have trusted When we thought the world was
 true; When the gauge of our experience or the human mind was new. And though some still claim our
 friendship,
 None have such power Of will To make sure of our affections As the smile of Charlie Bill. When the cares of life Oppress us, And the turmoil of the soul, Like the surge of angry pillows, In fierce conflict, OCT us roll; Naught will calm the troubled waters. With a conscious Peace be still,' Like the gleam of sweet cOntentment In the smile of Charlie Bill. There is much in life to charm us, Friendships true, and pleasures
 mild: But the sweetest form of friendship Is that of a little child. And of all the friends I cherish, None can so completely fill All the cravings of my nature As the smile of Charlie Bill. Charlie Bill, my little Cherub, There's d charm within thy smile. Which. from all life's cares and trou)
 bles
 Instantly my thoughts beguile. And no other form of pleasure Can my heart with rapture fill, With such fond and sweet content
 ment,
 As the smile of Charlie Bill.

Once the petted child of a wealthy family, Esther is forced by her fathers business revers- es to accept work in Kings factory.

 "The Undertow" is an exceptionally strong story convincingly presented by a well balanced company of notable ar lists.
