 Carrie, demon reformer, has a past, i past that rocks of alcohol
 Years ago, in Seward. Alaska, be-
 fore the name of volstead was heard. Carrie was raised in captiv- Lity as a furry brown cub. She spent her childhood days playing about the wharf. Whenever a steamer came in from Seattle or San Francisco, the bear cub was on hand to greet the strange dogs and many bitter duels ensued, in which Carrie was invari- ably the victor. She was land mark of the city, a great awkward bear rambling about the little min ing city at all hours of the day or night Her name then was Bobby"
 She hated saloons, especially one run by "Porcupine Jim"
 One day the owner of Stewards principal grog shop showed up at the opening time and found a com plete wreck. The plate glass front had been smashed as though by an elephant. Inside the place whiskey bottles, beer mugs, and glassware, mingled in jagged, broken debris, beneath the overturned bar. An alec hOliC stenCh arose.
 Seward boasted a chief of police who wore a tin. star and packed enough hardware on his hips to sink a fleet.
 To this parsonage the saloon keep, CT appealed for vengeance.
 The entire police force investigat- ed the wrecked booze dispensary.
 While they were engaged in their deductions, frequently sampling the remaining stock, they heard a loud crash. In walked the bear, climbing through the broken window, intentt upon finishing the job. She was dubbed Carrie Nation on the spot.
 The great brute remained in Se- ward for several months after that. during which time she took particu- lar joy in smashing booze joints. Fi- nally the total of her crimes mount ed so high that her departure for other climes was imperative. And so

IF.
IF you can watch your step when other
girlies
Have left the straight and narrow
Just Il pace.
If in your hair you wear no bangs or
curlies
And put no rouge or powder on your
face:
II you can see a friend in some creation
Cut very low above and high below
And still not strive for vulgar imitation
Nor manicure your nails for vulgar
show
If you can go to dances dressed but
plainly
And dancing, dance. but shimmie not
step.
And laughing. laugh not loudly nor
profanely.
BE not too gay, nor show unseemly
pep:
If you can see mems faults, though mi
croscopic.
And to these men these faults at
length explain.
If you can hear mems talk on senseless
topics
And still from talking nonsense you
refrain
If you can keep your lips unstained by
kissing
While other girls are kissing now and
then.
And still not mourn the pleasures you
are missing
And always send your callers home
at ten:
If being prim has always been your
glory.
If bOisterousness of any kind you
Shun--
you'll make hit with stages
hOary,
You'll stay at home while others have
the fun. ~.
