said:
Is Beer IntoxicatingR
The situation as it rests with the
brewers In New York resolves itself
around the question as to whether
beer is Intoxicating or not. That Is
a mooted question. 1t will require
much analysis and deep study of the
question. AS a matter of fact we

that 1t all resolved itself around the

EIPaso Has Near Champion Whiskers Grower
B. E. Major Years Behind World Champion

IL PASO can almost lay claim TO the
l. champion whiskers in the country,
so far as their age is concerned
a short time ago a press dispatch
told OF one John L Forkner. mayor OF
Anderson. Ind, who had just parted
company with a mustache after 20
years OF devotion This, claimed

In a flash all was turmoil in the

for supremacy and from the strife
emerged one s. n. EeltOn-WhiSker

Other contenders are ]. n. Endicott
and L Ballou, with crops each dating
back 55 years; S J. Bromley, aged
50, who has lived with the same Whis-
kers 81 years. and n F. Skinner, not
60 old, with a crop so years old
However California has close con-

Ellis Major, $50 Hills street, as the
champion whisker wearer in these
parts Mr.. Major has Worn his pres
ent growth OF Whiskers since the
close of the civil war, which in exact
figures amounts to 81 years. He tells
with delight OF his adherence TO a
promise made to his sister away back
in IS that he would remain unshaven
for the remainder OF his life.
The Story OF a Beard.
And on this promise hinges a 1as-
cinating tale At the outbreak OF the
-ivil war-or southern war as Major
says with great pride-Major and his
brother, Stephen, solennly promised
that they would not shave until the
END OF the war AT that time he al
ways accompanied a Miss Betty Staten
regularly to prayer meetin' and
church When the war was over.
Major parted with his wartime growth
Of whiskers, and in company with
w. S-eten visited his sister back in
Alabama According to Majors story
his sister did not recognize him, and
thought that Miss staten had come
with new beau to visit her He
had. through the tonsoria1 process
administered beforehand. changed his
appearance so completely that none Of
his friends knew him
Determined that she should always
recognize him, his sister made him
promise that he would never again
shave. During the long years inter
vening between that time and now
that promise has been kept and old
timers IN e Paso readily recognize
Major by his luxuriant growth of
Ehiskers.
Another Incident in connection with
this story IS the fact that Majors
