 Faster and Thirst
 is Soon Quenched

Chicago, April 17.-There is one Capt. Hubert Howard, an official "taster" connected with the prohibit tion enforcement forces here, but he has 57 doubles, and the returns are not yet all in.,
 Certain bibulous persons have been making exceedingly meddy at the cx- pense of druggists. Stalking into the stores, the visitor would an- nounce that he, was Capt. Hubert Howard, and duty required him to take samples of the whisky in stock to make certain no wood alcohol was being sold. He explained to the druggist that he might. charge the samples up to breakage" and thus be enabled to get his full quota.
 The scheme worked perfectly un- til one of the "Capt. Towards, be- came overloaded with his samples and started to breaking the furni- ture. He also expressed firm de- termination to make his bed in the drug store and retire for the night ] The druggist began to take notes and discovered that Capt. Howard was of various sizes and conditions young and old, black haired and gray, and then the case was put up

NEW ORLEANS COTTON.

New Orleans, Arpil 17.-Nothing but weather conditions over the belt were considered by traders in cot ton today and they were found un- favorable enough to cause buying wave on the opening which persisted almost to the close.
 The tendency to take profits among buyers of the earlier sessions of the week was the only check to advance. Opening higher, the market rose until July was 40.04 and Oc- tober at 36.92 and the more active months were 40 to 57 points over yesterdays close. All months that were active made new high levels Many attracted only q few trades and did not exceed yesterdays high record, standing at it's best at 4l.S4 Realizing became sufficiently heavy in the last few minutes of the ses- sion to pare down the advance some what so that last prices were at net gains for the day of 32 to 90 points
 The forecast for over Sunday call ed for much rain and decidedly cold CT weather with freezing in the pam handle of Texas and the northwes- tern section of Oklahoma.

CHICAGO GRAIN.

Chicago, April 17.-Corn aver aged lower in price most of the time today as result of the prospective speedy end of the railway strike. Last of the week adjustment of trades however made values firm at the finish which was unchanged to 1-2 cent net higher with May 1.69 1-2 to 1.69 3-4 and July 1.64 IA to 1.64 I1-2. Oats closed unchanged to 3-8c up and provisions varying from 35c decline to gain of 2 1-2c. Mearish significance of any im- provemcnt of railway traffic condi- tons was emphasized by estimates that fully fifteen hundred cars of grain were awaiting the services of switchmen in the Chicago district, and that further arrivals of cars to. morrow and Monday were expected to augment the total.
 Oats like corn hardened at the last in view of predicted rain or snow in many sections.
 For the most part provisions were weak. Packers sold and aggressive support was lacking.

NEW YORK SUGAR.

New York, Arpil 17.-The local market for raw sugar continues strong and prices again made new hing rccards, closing at IS 1-2c foi Cubas, cost and freight, equal to 19.56 for centrifugal. There were sales of 75,000 bags of Cubas afloat to lacol rcfincr at IS l-2c cost and freight and holders were asking higher levels. There have been per. sistent rumors in circulation that Porto Ricos had sold on the basis of 20c, eff, but these could not be confirmed.
 There was no change in granulated prices, which range from 1850 to 17c for fine, although prices quoted are more or less nominal as most re- liners are unable to accept much business.
 Sugar futures were quite active for a Saturday and after advancing some 25 to 65 points on covering an trade buying, offerings increased and prices eased off under releasing

Helene's Married Life May Christie Copyright by Mcclure Newspaper Syndicate
By May Christie

From the bottom of my heart l was sorry for Alice's husband. To- morrow morning he was going off abroad. Was his last night at home to be rendered disastrous by un- timely revelations?
 No! Not if 1 could help it!
 Please don't take any steps tonight" I urged MT. Lloyd. "And for the next "A hours leave the affair to me. Let me see Tony personally let me reason with him. Alice as well. Oh, don't do anything rash or hurried that you may regret!"
 Before 1 could say another word Aice's husband walked into the room.
 He shook hands cordially with Ira wis Lloyd.
 Stay to dinner, old chap My last night in England for some time. Pm off to Mexico tomorrow" He turned to me. "Where's Alice" I hesitated. Her husbands last dinner at home-and she was gal livanting!
 "Oh, I expect her back at any mo ment," l fibbed'
 The two men started to chat, and 1 took advantage of their preoccupa- tion to slip from the room out to a recess in the hall where the tele- phone was enconsced.
 I took the receiver off it's hook and rang up the country-house where Alice might be found. In few moments I could hear Alice's voice trckling across the wires.
 ''Is that you, Helene? What on oarth's the matter? House on fire CT what?" Her tones were mocking
 "Alice, aren't you coming home to dinner? It's your husbands last night at home-and MT. Travis Lloyd is hcre," l spoke urgently.
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1920-04-18

But my words fell on stony soil. Alice laughed lightly.
 "You're capable of entertaining both, Helene. So go ahead"
 But-they're expecting you"
 "Such rubbish! I've been shooting all the afternoon, and Pm going to stay on here for dinner and a little bridge.p
 l tried another tack.
 Aren't you coming home to dress.
 "No, Pm borrowing dream of a Lucille frock-mauve, with pink spangle lending it to me for the evening"" (Clara was AL ices pet crony-a dreadful woman who'd divorced two husbands).
 To urge her was quite useless. And at last, disheartened, 1 rang off. The rain was pattering on the roof as l crossed the hall. It gave me an excuse for Alice. 1 re-entered the drawing room.
 "lt's so wet that Alice won't be back for dinner.' (Heaven forgive me for the fib!) "She's returning later"
 1 A shadow crossed the face of AL 1 ices husband.
 q could have sent the car for her," was all he said. Dinner was not very cheerful meal. Though Alice's conversation : never had been brilliant, the miss ing hostess seemed to leave a blank. I was furious with her self ishness on this occasion And then l formed my resolution This very night 1 would go to Alice and have if oft with her I womb insist that she accompany me home and spend the remainder of the eve ming with her husband. 1 So, at the conclusion of the meal slipped away to my own room

wrapped myself in a heavy trench coat that would keep out all inclem- ency of weather, and prepared to go in search of Alice.
 Down in the hall 1 encountered Travis Lloyd.
 Our hosts gone off to pack" he said. "One would conclude that his wife would be at home to help him! But apparently the lady has other views" His tones were full of sar- casm. He never did like Alice. "I'm going off in search of her, l said.
 'That's right. I'm sorry for the fellow. For l believe he cares fol her. I'll run you over in my car' So MT. Travis Lloyd and 1 set off together through the rainy night. In 15 minutes we had reached the gates of the country-house where Alice had been dining. / "Please drop me here," I said. "I'll go up the drive alone.' i I descended from the car, and went splashing through the west. How dark 1t was in the shrubbery!
 Then I emerged upon the lawns across which light was streaming from the uncurtained windows of tho mansion. Conviviality was going or inside
