CHANGES WROUGHT BY TIME.

Some years ago-and not very many either-a lanky college professor wanted to see France. His means were limited is usually the case with col lege professors But lack of means seldom prevents a college professor from doing what he desires to do, so the Ianky young man landed at a port of France upon his way.
 He rode all the country on the bicycle, stop ping at cheap hotels and economizng in every pos sibe way he France, for the truth is, the best way in the world to a country is to pedal through it a wheel. His trip extended through his vacation, and when the fall term of his school began he at his place, strong and clear after his summers outing along the roads of the French republic Incidentally, he had good working knowledge of the country, which he had obtained at first hand.
 Probably there not half dozen people in France today who remember Woodrow Wilson when he toured the country asride his bicycle but he was the lanky college professor referred to- But if there half dozen, not of them is any more surprised than Woodrow Wilson himself at the changesc wrought by time.
 It is marvellous thing-and worth thinking about. An obscure school teacher of few wearily riding along the dusty roads a bicycle, today the guest of kings and rulers And something more than a guest associate, co-counselor; equal in every of the word for he himself is ruler of mighty a nation any ruled over.

PROHIBITION IS NEARLY HERE.

The success of the prohibtionists with the State Legislatures is exceeding their expectations year ago when Congress voted to submit a prohibition amendment to the National Constitution for the sideration of the several States the prohibtionists hoped to get the amendment ratified by of the States the number necessary to make it eff fectiye, within two years. They will accomplish the task they set themselves within little than one year Already 34 States have ratified the amend ment and the Associated Press dispatches yesterday said they hoped to have the other States before the close of this legislative day.
 That the United States is to become a dry nation Is foregone conclusion The manufacture and sale of alcoholic liquors in the United States as bev- craze must cease The lands that have been devoted to raising barley, hops. grapes and other cerials and fruits for the manufacture alcoholic drinks must thereafter be used for other purposes and those engaged in the traffic will enter other pur suits It will make wonderful economic change in the country, and it will problem from pol ltics that has colored great deal of governmental lctivlfy.

Tips from Texas

 For our part we shall be glad when the flu tapers down to old fashioned la grippe.
 Sometimes a man is such low brow that a headache feels like neu- ralgia of the teeth.
 Probably it isn't important, but sometimes we wonder what became of the old-fashioned autograph al buns in which the young ladies asked the young gentlemen to write sentiments.
 Another kind of optimist is a courting man who imagines his sweetheart will always be better looking than her married sister.
 It has just about gotten so in this country that what folks regard as a selfish person is one who wants them to pay him what they owe. him.
