AVALANCHE OF BOOZE AT
OASIS HELPS TREASURY

Nassau, Bahama Islands, Feb A.
Prohibition in the United States has
caused an enormous amount of liquor
to descend like an avalanche upon
this city, has Transformed the BAHIA
mas Governments financial condition
as if by magic from a deficit to COM
paratively a huge surplus, provided
labor for large numbers of unemploy-
ed and put more money in circulation
in this little British colony than has
been the case for many years. Sir
William L. Allardyce, Governor of the
colony, made this known yesterday
in al address formally opening the
1920 session o. The Bahamas Legisla-
ture.
The original estimate of the colony's
revenue was $327,000 for the year and
expenditures $526,000 with deficit of
$154,0OO to be made up through in
creased taxes and duties. With the
banishment of wines and liquors from
the United States upon the advent of
prohibition, Nassau became one of the
hayens Of refuge for wet goods, being
one of the nearest ports outside of
Canada and Mexico.
Half a dozen vessels brought full
cargoes and the duties from these
wines and liquors have restored the
Bahamas Governments fallen for
tunes, due to the war, from a deficit
to surplus three tides as large as
the expected devcit, or about $780,
900. The years revenue is figured at
$10S5,000 and the expenditures at
$530,000. With the increased revenue,
Governor Allardyce said the question
of reducing the tariff on the necessi-
ties of life might be considered by the
Legislature.
In addition a surplus of $500,000
yearly at least is expected from the
duties when the liquors are taken out

EngIishman Who Died in 1880 Proved
That II Was Possible to Exc

Thomas f. CURLY, the champion
eater of Massachusetts, declared that
dyspepsia is the result of eating too
little, and not too much. His Sunday
dinner consisted of thirteen Holsters.
sixty eggs, and one hundred oysters.
AT the other end of the scale must be
placed old Roger Crab, the first vege-

after proving that man could live
on IS cents year. Originally hab-
erdasher in a big way of business at
Gresham, England. free liver and
drinker of strong ales, he "got re-

sold his stock, gave the proceeds to the
poor, and took to living in a hut on
three-farthings a week. Instead of

his face and twisted it. The air seemed

The ledge seemed to be rocking up

the gorge were bending together. The

The spot was no great distance above

Away up the bare front of a cliff his
eye lighted on the mouth of what an

the very foot of this cliff. He spread
himself flat against the face OF the
rock and strained from crevice to crev-
Ice. 1t was prodigious task, but all
tasks have an end-either at the bot

task finally ended at the top. 1t

The strata gaped apart half the
height of a man, leaving wide-open
scar in the face of the cliff. 1t was per-

Clerical Expedient.

The English preacher, Stephen Jenk-
ms. was not highly educated man,
but he had a native wit which often
helped MIN out of difficulties. One
Sunday while reading as the Scripture
lesson the third chapter of Daniel. he
came to batch of words that gave
him trouble. "At what time We hear
the sound of the cornet, flute, harp.
sackbut, psaltery, dulcimer," etc. Now
this list OF instruments is repeated sew
eral times in the chapter, and the sec
ond time he stumbled through it with
even greater difficulty than the first.
Before he reached 1t again, however.
he had discovered way of escape. SO
the third time he relieved both him
self and his listeners by reading with
the utmost gravity. "And the band

CHAPTER Ix-continued.

Jumping lightly from rock to rock
bandit approached the cataract. the
third leap landing him upon the fiat
top of a rock almost within the very
wash of the falling water. Pausing
an instant to pull his hat tight and
turn up the collar of his coat, he
sprang straight into the thin blade
of the falls. His leap must have car
ried him completely through to the
other side. 1t was the first the Pearl
hunter knew, or even suspected. that
there was an open space beyond. So
completely did the falling water hide
everything back of it that probably
the man who had just leaped and
the man who watched him were the
thing back of il.
The Pearlhunter stretched himself
fat under cover of clump of sprouts
growing about an old white oak
stump, and kept his eyes fixed on the
waterfall.
Time goes slowly TO one who
watches and waits. 1t was probably
not more than ten minutes, though it
seemed far longer when, without so
much as a diverted fieck of spray in
warning. the waterfall flung forth up
on the fiat-topped rock 1.-THE and ac-
tive figure that sprang lightly TO shore
over the two intervening stones.
Pausing on the brink of the pool
barely long enough to shake his coat
by the lapels ard to knock his hat
against his hand, he Immediately set
out along the bluffs toward the viii
lage, as unconcerned as If he had not
just pulled OH about the most sensa-
tional stunt ever seen by Flatwoods
man.
The Pearlhunter slipped out of the
cover and softly followed; trailed him
up the bluffs. through the corner of the
woods and out to the river road where
ii angles north through the cut in the
cliffs; listened at the fence, near
where the path crossed IT, till the re-
ceding steps were well on their way
TO the village.
