GENERAL PERsHINe ON PRoHI.
RITIOM

In an address before the National
w. C. T. U. convention, DR.. Anna
Howard Shaw gave direct testimony
MS to the attitude of General Pershing
on prohibition.
81 had the pleasure Of meeting this
great hero last spring in San Antonio,
Texas" she said. "rhe citizens gave
me banquet, and among the honored
guests was General Pershing. When
he was called on for toast, the great
leader of the army stood up and pro-
nounced himself II confirmed believer
in the enfranchisement of women and
i'm prohibition. After he had taken
his seat and the program had been
concluded, General Pershing was told
by some OF his Texas friends, "PrOhi-
bition is an unpopular subject in
Texas. We are not in favor Of It,"
the general replied, so long as |
am at the head of the army | shall
speak of prohibition But go slow
in this NATTER they said. General
Pcrshing responded, Il shall not 20
slow on prohibition, for | know what
is the greatest foe to my men, great
cr even than the bullets Of the en-
envy"

THE CIVILIAN ARMY AS IMPORT
AMI AS The SOLDIER ARMY.

The sale of liquor to the soldier in
training in the United States has been
forbidden, so that he may be strong
alert, steady-handed, always ready
working with esprit de corps. At ev-
cry essential point there is exactly the
same reason for abstinence from liquor
by the civilian. The men who mine
coal, make munitions, cloth, uniforms,
shoes, ships, run trains and steamers
or supervise any aspect Of business
life are just as much a part of the war
machinery as the soldier. The scien-
tifically demonstrated effects of alco-
hol are not peculiar to the soldier.
Most of these results, in fact, have
been secured in tests on civilians.

CLEANING THE MEDICINE CLOSET

The medical temperance department
Of the National w. G. 7. U. has been
no small factor in cleaning Uncle Sans
medicine closet. The superintendent
of this department, Mrs. Martin NJ. AL
len of New York, thus describes the
process:
"When we started in to clean the
medicine chest of the great United
States, the chest was a dreadful sight.
Whisky, port wine, sherry wine, beer 10
give strength, brandy and gin for GER
tain ailments all stood in proud array
on prominent shelves.
"TO attempt to clean up such medl.
cine chest was task sufficient to ap.
pail stout hearts. But few brave
souls said the task should be done, and
gradually, surely, the cleaning has been
going on. Some of the best physicians
of the country aided in the task. Soon
the whisky bottle for the cOnsumptive
was thrown away, then the brandy for
the typhoid fever patient. Beer and
wine were swept off the shelf by the
aid Of athletes who had proved that
these drinks weaken instead of giving
strength. Whisky for pneumonia was
the next to go, and finally the American
Medical association swept Off the last
remaining bottle Of alcohol as unneccs-
sary in the treatment Of any disease"

was visible grotesquely sprawled upon
the reddenIng waves. Then 1t was rent
limb from limb.
II disappeared, and, fighting over
their prey, the sea devils played the
last act of their own drama. They fell
upon each other. 1t was the tragedy
Of the hive-the annual massacre OF
the drones; only they were all drones.
Nature had no more use for them, now
that their queen was gone.
Never had such a spectacle been
seen by man before. The entire face
Of the inland sea was n tumult of
fighting monsters. The dead grew into
visibility as they became thicker. The
floating patches Of white almost OBJ
scured the waves. And still the fight
became more frenzied.
They tore each ether and them
selves, they lashed the waves into
foam; animal debris floated from end
TO end Of the fjord. As the dead drift
ed toward the shore the struggle be-
came more furious in the heart Of the
sea.
Gradually II subslded. The last Of
the herd was gone. The battle that
was TO decide the fate Of the world
had been n civil one, and fought out
without mans agency.
The lash of the waves drove the
light motorboat toward the cliffs. 1t
stranded not five hundred feet from
where Donald and his friends, awe
struck, had watched the progress of
the titanic conflict. They ran toward
IL and pulled Ida from the thwarts. 1t
had seemed incredible that she could
have survived.
For a long time she lay motionless.
Drenched with the brackish water, her
hair unbound, she seemed to sleep in
DOnad's arms, while he and Davies
worked frantically to revive her.
Davies raised his head at last and
looked at Donald fixedly. Donald re-
fused to meet his gaze.
They set to work again. For two
hours longer they went through the
movements Of the resuscitatiOn of the
drowned. They stopped at last, ex-

In Memory of a Japanese Prince.

Most of the distinguished men of
Japan, without regard to party af-
Citations, have undertaken to raise a
fund for the erection Of handsome
statue to the memory Of the late Mar

the Manchurlan campaign in the Russo
Japanese war. The sculptor selected
is Taketaro Shlnkai OF Tokyo, and the
statue will stand on one of the finest
sites in the capitalize compound Of
the war Office. The enterprise Is head

hausted. Davies laid his hand on DON
AIDS shoulder; this time it was he
who could not meet his friends look.
Suddenly they heard Clouts shout
ing, mad with joy.
Look, sir Mr.. Davies, look" he
screamed.
They swung around. The girls eyes
had opened, and there was recognition
in them.
She drew the first faint breath; her
weak arms stole round Donald's neck.
And in the universal joy nobody
minded Clouts mouth organ, as he
blew "Home, Sweet Home"
"Hoorayw he yelled, tossing up his
cap at the finale. "Mr. Davies, sir, it's
Just as / told you, isn't it? We've
brought her back to life, and now we're
going to wake up ourselves"
"What do you mean, Clouts?" asked
Davies.
"Why, sir, don't you see? We've
just been picked up and landed from
the Beotia And we've been dreaming
all sorts of dellriums about sea mon
sters, and suchllke. If | might be al
lowed, sir, I'll put it to Captain Paget.
Amt we just been rescued after tor
pedoing the cruiser, sir?" he asked.
"Aint the whole thing a dream"
Donald looked up. 81 don't know,
Clouts," he said. 81 think you may be
right. But it's happy one"
Davies looked at him in dlsmay.
'Do you really mean that, Donald?"
he asked. "Do you honestly think that
we have dreamed all thls?"
"Its as plausible as any other ex-
PLANTATION" Donald replied. 81 can't
see why we shouldn't have. It's too
preposterous-all that about the sea
devils and that harmless crank Mac
Beard, who used TO have newspaper
rows with poor old Masterman. AS
likely as not Wen see him haunting
the Inventors club when we get back,
quite ignorant Of the part he has
played in our lives. You know dreams
do do that-they put inconsequential
people into absurdly important posi-
tions."
"But-hang it, Donald, how does
Miss Kennedy happen to be hereT
"Why wasn't she on board the Be
otia?" Donald replied. "At any rate,
| If it's all true, what have we got to
show for it?'
He had placed his arm across his
breast, and mt that moment he felt the
crnkIe of dampened paper in his inner
pocket. He pulled out--the two pages
of Masterman's letter.
Donald unfolded 1t. 1t was quite
leglble, in spite Of the stains OF sea
water; but now for the first time he
realized that he held not one page, but
two. They had become stuck together
in some manner, and Donald had not
perused the second page.
1t was In the form Of o postss -ipt.

For framing single photograph for

the upper part of a moderately large
mat. When the picture is in sepla, the
mat should be in tan or brown, the

The Joy That Is Strenath.

A certain king instructed his garden
er to plant six trees and place statues
beneath them, representing Prosperity
Beauty, Victory, Strength, Duty and
JOY. These trees and statues were to
show to the world what the king had
tried TO make his reign. They were
also to typify the statues beneath
them. The gardener planted six palm
trees. When the king came out TO In
spect the work, and came to the statue
of Joy, he said: 81 surely thought you
would typify JOY with some Towering
tree, like the tulip or magnolia. How
can the serious, stately palm, symbol
ize Joy?' "Those trees" said the
gardener, "get their happiness from
manifest and open sources, They live
in merry forests or orchards, with
hosts Of happy comrades. But / found
this palm tree fresh and green and
happy all alone in sandy waste. It's
roots had found some hidden spring
creeping along far beneath the burn
ing surface. Then, thought |, the high
est Joy has foundation unseen Of
men, and a source they cannot com
prehend."

The Hiohest Liberty.

To set at liberty them that are
bruised. People are bruised by fail
ure, by disappointment, by defeat.
They are like birds that were trying to
fly and got wounded and dropped back
with damaged wing. Some power in
their life has been stricken.
There are some whose love is strlck-
en-, there are some whose hopes are
broken and others whose Wills are
broken. What we are to do as cru
saders of Jesus is to come and tender
ly minister to the broken wing, to set
at liberty them that are bruised.-Rcv.

young Kentuckian lost big for

ing n business engagement, according
to the Christian Herald.
The cheerless old fellow with the
scythe always gets all that is coming
to him. And there is many bad scar
on our fortunes where he has had to
prod us up to the mark.
Time is cheap and we are apt to
think we can fllch 1t as we will. But
it is always ourselves we rob. not
time.
Maybe you can waste your own time
by being late In keeping engagements
and feel that the loss, if any, is your
own affair. But 1t also is the affair or
the man you keep waiting. You waste
his time, too. If your time is worth
less, maybe his is not. He may con-
clude that his time is worth more to
him than you are.
In many cases It may not matter
much. But one never knows until af'
terward whether 1t matters or not.
And through false politeness we are
usually assured that 1t does not mat

Only the idle and careless, whose
time is Of the least value, can afford to
waste 1t by loOseness in keeping en-
