AMAZING

This is a wonderful country, says
an exchange. Every once in a while
proof of that fact comes from some
new direction. The latest vertical
ton is from the lips of Cecil j. Sharp
the English musician and writer. Mr..
Sharp has returned recently to Lon
don from villages along the Virginia,
Kentucky and Tennessee border line
and has published his impressions. He
says the settlers there, which would
presumably be among the Cumber-
land Mountains, have kept alive old
English songs and dances brought by
their ancestors two centuries ago,
though these songs have persisted in
the country of their origin. That will
surprise no one acquainted with the
subject. Mr.. Sharp has himself said
the same thing before; and investiga-
tors of folklore in this country have
observed the same condition.
But what win surprise every one is
this discovery of his about the ma
tives of the region: 81 found all the
inhabitants spoke most beautiful Eli
zabethan language and had all the
old English charm of manner, ara
were altogether the incest and most
hospitable people | have ever come
across"
1t is a disconcerting discovery. 1t
will mean the scrapping of whole
Libraries of f~eud-country fiction as wei
as thousands of feet o. movie films.
If Mr.. Sharp is right. they are wrong
for in no instance do they tolerate
anything approaching "most beautiful.
Elizabethan language" on the tongues
of their characters-and remember, he
attributes the rhetoric to "all the in
h%abitarts." which likely include the
dawgs.
One must be courteous to guests
and the obligation is twofold in the
case of who goes away and says
such nice things about US. Therefore
let no one say Mr.. Sharp is wrong
Undoubtedly "all the inhabitants" OF
the villages along the Virginia, Ken
lucky and Tennessee border line" hold
converse with one another in "most
beautiful Elizabethan language" ISM
ours a most wonderful country!

every thing I heard Of, and a number Of
doctors. Still I didn't get any relief.
I couldn't eat, and slept poorly. I
believe if I hadn't heard of and taken
Cardui I would have died. I bought
six bottles, after a neighbor told me
what it did for her.
81 began to eat and sleep, began to
gain my strength and am now well
and strong. I haven't had any trou.

ailments.

ReefIess. PorkIess Tribe.

When the Bombay Parsees, an in
d%ustrious and enterprising tribe, de-
scendants of the Persian fire worship
ers, fled from their native country
before the caliphs, they arrived in
western India. There they were tol
Grated by the Hindoo sovereigns or
condition of not eating beef. When
those regions afterward fell under the
dominion of Mohammedan conquerors
the Parsees obtained from them Q
continuance of indulgence on condi
ton of r~efraining from pork. What
was at first obedience to authority
became a second nature, and tht
Parsees to this day abstain both from
beef and pork. Though not required
by their religion, the double absti
hence has had time to grow into {
custom of their tribe; and custom, il
the East, is a religion.--Harvart

The Price of Prohibition.


What wrong has not been commit
ted in the name Of prohibitionY
What outrage of liberty has not oc-
Cured in the name of this futile
fanaticism? We have seen, in two
years, more lives sacrificed to prohi-
bition than the open sale of liquors
would take in half a century. We
have seen public officials debsuched
to defeat a form of s%umptuary legisla-
ton to which mankind has never SUBJ
mitted-and never will submit. We
have seer legislative bodies prostitut-
ed in the name of "morsls," and these
lawmaking bodies enact Legislation as
pleased the fancy of fanatics; and
sleek reformers who live in ease and
luxury through the oppression of the
American people.
We have seen the Constitution
scoffed and Knocked by advocates of
prohibition; and its guarantees over
ridden in a vain attempt to compel
the people to submit to a tyranny
more absolute than ever dared BY the
despots of old. We have seen ven
the home ruthlessly invaded by Of
fcals of the law, in defiance of the
fourth amendment to the Constitu-
ton, and to the outrage of every con-
cept of liberty. In the name of pro-
hibition, we have g the Constitu-
tion-a document written to express
the hopes of mankind for thousands
of northumberland and ridiculed
so that a spurious amendment at
tached thereto through hypocrisy and
cowardice may be forced upon a peo-
pie who object to its tyranny.
We have seen the laws of fanatics
strike down the exalted patriotism of
millions of our citizens; and turn love
of country into distrust of country.
We have seen millions of our youths
sent forth to die for liberty; and those
who returned told that sliberty" is
the moth-eaten fallacy of the enemy
they faced that freedom might en-
dure.
We have lied, we have oppressed,
we have groveled in the mire of de-
ceit to serve the ends of fanaticism
and tyranny. Today we are reaping
the harvest of infamy that we have
sown. Today we hear the cry going
up that we are sweeping forward to
the destruction of all law and order;
the result of arbitrary legislation
which was to make of US a nation oil
wingless angels.
Liquor is a mixture of smiles and
tears, of happiness and sorrow; even
as love is In itlurks danger, as turks
danger in gold, government and re-
ligion, when abused. Its evils are
many and its joys are more. But, &C.
cuse it as one may; prove its evils al
one can, it has never in all the age
swept a nation into tyranny and de
. struction. But d%espotism and fanatic
ism have wrecked nations from the
beginning of history. They will wreck
ours if we submit.
Libery is too great a price to pay
for prohibition.-J. S. A. in Post-Dis
patch.

Piano Box Shoe Store.

Have you ever been in an oil boom
town? The hope Of striking oil is as
great an excitement as the finding Of
gold in 40. From the preliminary
leasing of the land, the promotion Of
stock. to the setting up Of drill it has
all the glamor and glory of specula-
ton. Once oil is hit, the gusher opens
up not only wealth for the prospector,
but some measure Of opportunity sor
the alert merchant. In the Arkanlias
fields almost overnight line Of stores
appeared. They were nothing more
than shanties at the best, but the shoe
store took the prize Of the entire
main street. 1t consisted of four piano
boxes containing the best grade boots
and the best calfskin shoes at price
reminiscent of the war period.-Boot
