selves. Molly was the big cats

the kittens names.
Molly said. 81 think II you will
be quiet I will catch you something
good to eat"
Spot asked, What will It be-"
Molly said. "Wait and see" So
they waited and in little while
they saw their mother upset the
ink stand and spill the ink all
over the floor and books.
They said. what In the world is
the matter with you. mother!"
The mother said. 81 have caught

lOWeROW ESSAY ON
THE SALOON QUESTION.

The advance of the great Sahara
has not served to greatly decrease
the number of oasises in bone-dry
Indiana.
OF course those that still linger
with us are of the jag-proof va
riety, but they nevertheless dis
pense the same color vintage as in
the good old days of yore-some of
it dark and some Of it light.
1t looks like the real stuff, it
tastes like it, it smells like it-but
it lacks the kick.
It's even hard to work up a con-
versation over scuttle of near
beer.
When old John Barleycorn
stepped down and out he certainly
took lot of headaches along with
him. It's a new experience for
some men to wake up Sunday
morning without headache.
The State of Indiana is certainly
dry ,too-no denying the fact. Why
the other day saw a brewery
wagon standing out in the street
with its tongue hanging out.
But one good thing about it lot
of men have had a chance to ct
acquainted with their wives and
kids.
Mr.. Bryan is deserving of some
credit for the stand he has taken
in favor of grape juice as against
liquor of the redeye variety. They
say that his prohibition speeches
are great have no doubt. how
ever, that they are dry in more
ways than one.

said that swallows were becoming

But what will poor old Father

has had to close up?
Be all this as it may, however,
according to Professor Drinkup, B.
v. D., A. NJ, and P. NJ, there are
certain familiar phrases which
have now become totally extinct in
the good old Hoosier state, among
them being:

"What'n you have, gents?"
