Croquet and the mildest archery
ever known were the sports OF people
still young and active enough for so
much exertion; middle age played
euchre. There was q theater, next
door to the ANDERSON hotel, and when
Edwin Booth came for q night every
body who could afford to buy ticket
was there, and all the 'shacks" In town
were hired. '"The Black Crook" also
filled the theater, but the audience
then was almost entirely Of men, who
looked uneasy as they left for home
when the final curtain fell upon the
shocking girls dressed as fairies. But
the theater did not often do so well !:
the people of the town were still too
thrifty.
They were thrifty because they were
the sons or grandsons of the "early
settlers" who had opened the wilder
ness and had reached 1t from the East
and the South with wagons and axes
and guns, but with no money at all.
The pioneers were thrifty or they
would have perished: they had to
store away food for the winter. or
goods to trade for food. and they
often feared they had not stored
enough-they left traces Of that fear
In their sons and grandsons. In tho
minds of most Of these. indeed, their
thrift was next to their religion: to
save, even for the sake Of saving, was
their earliest lesson and discipline. No
matter how. prosperous they were they

Again she found none to challenge

At the age of nine George Amber

"But tell you what I'll do: I'll pull

This was stock and stencil: the ac-

the period; and in such matters Geor-

was that fringed sash girdled the

fayoring a prohibitive tax on liquors

prohibition. 1t was urged by members
that such action would lay the COM
mittee open to the charge of sponsor

adopted urged Representative Charles

member Of the prohibition party in

CHICAGO. Sept. 3.-A resolution
proposing that the prohibition party
"haye no connection with these called
world work." was rejected late yester-
day by the national committee OF tho
party after a heated debate. In its
place an amendment was adopted rec
ommending that Individual members
of the party be urged to give active
assistance In the world prohibition
work through the fundamentally OF
the prohibition Foundation"
The Foundation is an organization
composed of prohibition party mem
bers.
The national committee adjourned
its two days convention last night
without outlining definite policy for
the future of the party. 1t adopted 4
resolution authorizing national con-
yention, at time and place to be
determined by the executive commit
tee. Speakers said it should be under
stood that the convention would be
held subsequent to the conventions OF
the Republicans and Democrats and
that action taken by the prohibition
lists would be determined to large
extent by the course pursued by the
two major parties.
A resolution was adopted recon-
mending that the party unite with
other parties when for the good of
the cause"
A large part of the discussion over
participation in foreign prohibition
hinged on a peeuniary angle. Virgil
G. Hlnshaw, chairman, A. G. Calder

that the party would be unable to OBJ
tain funds except on the ground of
carrying on world work. An impress
sion was prevalent, they admitted,
that the work of the party in this
country was finished.

on resolutions, whose report urgins
opposition to participation in Euro
pean prohibition battles, was reject
ed, led the fight against the amend
ment which was adopted.
