A Curiosity In Nomenclature. The negroes in the British West In dian Island of Grenada find it very dif ficult to keep track of their descent and their relatives because of a curious custom they follow in naming children. The father's Christian name is given to the son for his surname. Thus If a man is named John Jones his son may be called James John and that son's son Robert James, and so on to the end of the chapter. Naturally in a few generations families get into a hope less muddle, and nobody knows exact ly to whom he is related. t What He Advised. A young man unhappily married and practically penniless took his tale of woe to a prominent divorce attorney in Chicago and concluded with this: Tm too poor to pay much for a di vorce, but my wife makes my lite mis erable. After I get home at 0 o'clock tn the evening I get no peaee until I go to sleep. What would you advise?" "After considering all the facts Sn your case," said the lawyer, "I woold suggest that you get a job which re quires you to work all night."—Ex change. Burying the Hatchet. This expression, meaning "let by gones be bygones," 1B derived from a custom once in vogue among the North American Indians. According to a command of the "great spirit," they were obliged, when they smoked the pipe of peace, to bury in the ground their tomahawks, scalping knives and war clubs in token that all enmity was at an end. Getting Around It. "What would happen if an irresistible force should meet an immovable body ?" "It is not necessary for anything to happen. 1 maintain that arbitration is always feasible."—Louisville Courier- Journal. Things or the Past* Betty had been punished. Her aunt did not know that, and when she came into the room and found Betty sitting disconsolately before the window she said: "Why, look at our little Betty. She looks ready to cry. What Is go ing to happen, I wonder?" Betty looked op and then said sol emnly, "It has happened."—Exchange. r v^r' | Regulation is the kwi I Law's Best Ally That In Regulation and not Prohibition lies the true folution of the 1) j|J pJ|jfi B : liquor problem is the opinion of the keenest minds. The failure of ILi i- -y fl.il S I Prohibition to prohibit is apparent wherever tried; while FACTS in J[| , |f|ij R E plenty prove that wise Regulation is attendant with less excesses than JL Jj? » 'SB J| is found in those places where Prohibition is supposed to obtain. A "W flu? Jm g I writer in the PHILADELPHIA EVENING BULLETIN, talking of JJI» ig \jfl = conditions in Maine—a "dry" State for over sixty years, has this to : say:' "On a single day in Bangor there were not fewer than thirty- Jv^B five arrests of persons who were intoxicated and whose cases wero «| heard in the police court. This, proportionately, would mean in I Philadelphia that much more than two thousand would be the num- uS i ber of drunks brought before the magistrates in twenty-four hours. |Jfj E In the city on the Penobscot they need to be quite disorderly, noisy 1 or helpless before they are considered fit to be objcts of police inter- |j| I vention. Apparently any who may be able to navigate comfortably Pg | with a heavy load is allowed to pass on undisturbed. In the streets .FH = of Bangor there are not a few to be seen in such a condition of mellow 11 a « 1 M but erratic enjoyment, as would be unsafe for them if they were to o attempt to run the gauntlet of the police on Chestnut Street in Phila- i \ V}| P delphia... A well-ordered License Act, such as we have in Philadel- j \J B p phia, would seem to be much preferable, at least in the ~ | | fiQj jl cities, to a Prohibition which doesn't prohibit and to a i $ § v/retched juggling with technicalities by which it may be II evaded or disregarded." Possibly the FALLACY of Pro- S /Ijt /f |j hibition has never been better shown than by the FACTS / 1 sj presented above —nor a better proof that Regulation and wfejj|j)j,jj j / E | not Prohibition is the solution of the problem.—PENN- ||J|J l [ llpa fiflp i SYLVANIA STATE BREWERS' ASSOCIATION.
