New York.--Robert Barbour, son of
the late Col. William Barbour, founder

self a manufacturer of thread in Pa

of Sheriff Knott and filed bond of
81, 300 to assure his presence in court

against him by Miss May B. Rollins
for 100000 damages.
She charges him with having brok

tons.
Miss Rollins is said to have been an

met Mr.. Barbour. In her complaint
she alleges that he invited her to his
apartment on July 10 last, bound her
hands and beat her with a rod, stick
or whip" Afterward, she adds, he

"mystries of providence" now have
their counterparts thinking Luck to
the leggerboots," for what was once
despised and disgraceful line of
action has evolved into great nation
wide industry. -.
The word "bootlegger' was coined
to fit the man who in the days of the
licensed saloon, evaded payment of
the liquor license by carrying his
stock of liquor in the leg of his boot,
and thereby pocketed the amount of
the license, beat the legalized mid
dleman out of his profits while at the
same time he tipped the school fund
and the kiddies and helped fill the
jails. He catered to the trade of the
shrimps and the tight wads, and was

Under the old system wherein peo-

mighty mean man who would carry
a bottle in his bootleg to save paying
the license and rent bill. Anything
that cut off the income of the saloon
keeper stopped his gifts to the
school, the church the Fourth of
July fund and the street paving, and
he was hated accordingly, not tt

The Drainage Projects of the
Leggerboot

for the throat" don't hang around
the drug stores at all now, they visit
the garage, for the leggerboot now
travels in a chariot with eyes in the
back of its bed. No longer does he
''hoof it or 'walk-a-settin' down"
Without him men would perish and
at each clearing house, a pal awaits
his arrival. Some of the best people
Ito him. in town patiently await his
arrival, and when men meet ON the
street they seek to learn something
by saying What do you know"
since men buy bottle and drink
1t at home, thereby saving all risk of
microbes and sore lips, they multiply
the good work by buying case at a.
time or six bottles in a gunny sack,
delivered as wild ducks or fish. Leg
gerboot booze has ceased to be
mere luxury-it is a necessity like
frat" membership and creased
pants among college students, and
they put up their money accordingly.
Men used to like to put one foot
on the brass rail in public places and
say, What are you going to have?"
but now they retire to the pantry
or the cellar, and perform, all by
their lonesome, on that steen dollar
bottle stuff. Have you noticed how
many merchants are playing up the
thought in their advertisements,
1.-THE recollection of quality remains
long after the price is forgotten.
Hadn't you noticed the connection?
You couldn't get along without me,
helping you to see things.
Now that prices are slumping
back to normal and the supreme
court at Washington has rendered
another bred Scott decision saying
that a man may move his property
from one place to another for his
own use, now that the owners of
fifty million gallons of bonded
whiskey in warehouses may be
moved by the owners if they are go
ing to "use it," there is a new and
interesting field for the leggerboot
to survey and establish new dis
tributing system. For the moment
it looked as If the price would drop,
but the law enforcement fellows an
nounced an embargo on the sale of
for nome brew and that
automatically plays into the channels
of the leggerboot drainage system
and adds interest and responsibility
to him.
Note that human nature never
changes and that there are other in
teresting incidents coming, as in
days gone by. AS recently as the
year 1880 A. d., Amur, the ruler of
Iazni, of the province of Delhi, on
he plains of Punjab, empire Of Hin
lustan, now Bengal, seated himself
IN the midst of his court and bant-
cred them to see who could drink the
most. He set the very temperate
example of drinking twenty-seven
cups of wine, and had heck of
line. But in the process it made
lin so sick he swore off himself and
hen he enforced prohibition for all
he others. Then he got after the
,rofiteers and short-weight dealers,
tut off a finger for each sale taking
more than 10 per cent profit and cut
IF an arm if convicted of second
'ffense.
America should speedily raise up
mother Amur of Delhi.
