Iorgot; my grandfather was then young considered himself a gentle man. A gentleman to compare his best girl to a kitchen maid! But his act is nothing to compare with hers It takes woman to express her opin ion of q man when she's mad:
 MT. Winchell-I thought you were a gen tleman. That illusion is gone forever. You will always hereafter be c.assed with those young men who, having been brought up in the backwoods, have not learned how to treat a lady. Since don't consider you worthy to enter my house I beg that you will never again do so. Should you persecute me with your atten- tions hereafter I shall inform my brother. In the evening after dinner I will let Watch loose. His teeth are very sharp.
 Noting the date of this letter, find that a reconciliation was expected the day it was written. At any rate. here are two letters, the first from grandpa, bearing the same date as the last quoted:
 Dearest-Thank heaven it's all explained! :! I will call at half past to take the noblest woman in the world in my arms and give her a million kisses!
 The dog that was to have been let loose seems to have lost his terror This is her reply:
 Oh, my darling, how 1mmeasurably happy ] an that this horrid nightmare is over! And to think that it should have been about so trfling matter as your criticising the buckles on my shoes! Do come earlier than half past 8. We shall be through dinner by half past ', and how can I wait a whole hour for you?
 For fortnight after this the waters were untroubled; then came a fash of lightning out of a clear sky. It's vio- lence marks it for the lady's: Sir-I return with this by our negro boy Sam, your ring. Considering who gave 1t to me, he is m-re than worthy messenger. I would express a hope that you would be happy with another girl if I did not feel sure you would lead any woman a horrible life. Return my letters at once by bearer.
 His reply:
 I will return your letters when you have returned mine Respectfully yours, etc.
 This doesn't sound so bad as con- pairing his angel to a housemaid, but it is really worse. He intimates that he can't trust her to return his letters, she having recovered her own, and that she is liable to use them to his discredit. There's no further record about this return of letters. Quite q gap ensues. during which they were doubtless so much together that they had no use for pens. The next core spondence is but a few days before their marriage. This is from grandpa:
 My Angel can hardly realize that on Thursday next I shall call you wife. What lovely, holy situation-no separa- ton till the death of one of us! The word death in this connection frightens me. What can I ever do without you? But away with gloom when heaven is so near! Here is grandma writing:
 Light of My Life-Isn't t lovely to think that after next Thursday we shall be to- gether continuously? My wedding dress fits beautifully l tried 1t on today and was charmed with it. am sure you will be charmed with 1t too. Everything is

"A City of PhiIosophers.

The famous Dr. Samuel Johnson was born in Lichfield, to which town he once paid a tremendous compliment. He had taken Boswell on a visit to Lichfield.
 'T found," writes Boswell, 1.-two strange manufactures for so in- land a place, sailcloth and streamers for ships, and observed them making some saddleclothS and dressing sheep skins But upon the whole the busy hand of industry seemed to be quite slackened. Surely, sir said I, you are an idle set of people, Sir said Johnson, we are city of philosophers. We work with our heads and make the boobies of Birmingham work for us with their kands.''

Drawing the Line.

A London tailor made his pile and retired to a Welsh castle, where he set up as a squire. But the tailor had hardly got established as q squire when a London natter retired and set up ill a neighboring castle as a squire also. It was disgusting.
 A friend, apropos of the former hat ter's coming, said to the eX-tailOr:
 "Wil you call on him?"
 "NOt l." was the reply. One must draw the line somewhere"
 "And 90" said the friend, "you draw it round the neck, eh?"

Senate Bone Dryoess Stops
With Distilled BEVERAGES
Action on Prohibition Leaves
Undisturbed Beers and
Light Wines.

Washin gton. July 4.--Thc senate
went on record today in favor of bone
dry national prohibition during the
war so far as whiskey and other dis
stilled beverages are concerned.
Legislation which would strike at
consumption of distilled intoxicants by
communicating stocks in bond in ad-
dition to absolutely prohibiting their
manufacture or Importation was writ
ten into the food control bin In one of
the senate's bitterest contests. The
beer and wine industries would be left
undisturbed.
In place of the section of the house
bill to prohibit the manufacture of
foodstuffs into beverages of any de-
scription, the senate substituted a pro-
vision prohibiting manufacture and
importation of distilled beverages dur
ing the war. and added further
clause directing the president to take
over all distilled spirits in government
bonded warehouses and pay for it a,
the basis of cost plus 10 per cent.
House May Accept.
While the final prohibition legisla-
tion will be evolved in conference be-
tween the two houses, it is regarded
as possible that the house will accept
the senate's change after a fight in
behalf of the original section.
The senate provision would limit
consumption to stocks in retailers
hands or Withdrawn before the law
goes into effect. Stocks of distilled
beverages in bond were estimated to-
night at between 200,0OO,00O and 30O,-
100000 gallons and the annual normal
consumption at 120,000,00 gallons. TIC

largest raid Of the kind yet attempted
by Germans over England today. A
succession Of duels occurred between
British patrolling planes near London
and raiders, who prevented the enemy
machines from returning to the west
ward. forced them southwark, fighting
as they flew.
Four of the German machines were
brought down. one by army aviators
and three by naval airmen 40 miles out
at sea on the return trip. Later, Bit

channel. who went out looking for the
raiders and failed to find them, did
such effective rcpressivc work that
