Safer Near the Ground.
One evening, In the cardroom of a
certain club, a mnn was caught cheat
ing, and exposed before the whole com
pany, whereupon the Indignant mem
bers rose In a body and kicked mm
from the top of tho stairs to the bot
torn. Rising painfully and full of
wrath, he hobbled owy to the resi
dence of the president of the club, and
there complained of the treatment he
had received.
"What would you do' tn my place?"
he asked.
"Well," said the president, "I should
play on the ground floor In future
It's safer."

White Man' Justice.
A native was charged before a Capo
Town court a few days ago with house
breaking, but although the evldenco
was strong, the Jury found him not
guilty. In discharging him, the Judge
snld: "The Jury has exemplified on
another occasion how the white man
deals with Justice. We moy nil feel
you are the man who broke this place
open, but we are going to let yon go
rather than break our own law, and
our own law is that the evidence must
be conclusive against tho man ; other
wise he Is not convicted. You are dis
charged." , Probably Warmer.
Tho vicar of tho parish, when out

"DEAD MAN'8 HILL."
I have seen a picture Inexpressibly
sad of "Dead Man'i mil In Trince"
with its 800,000 graves and as many
wooden crosses. Far as eye can reach
are the figures of black shrouded wom
en; they bend themselves above th
graves; they lift themselves with out
stretched hands toward the unrelent
ing heavens. Bnt for them there la sv
pitiful compensation: They have th
trinkets of the Legion of Honor and
the memories of heroism that will
never die. Powder-blackened and dis
emboweled, their sons were hurled'
Into long trenches, but above them .
float the trl-color of France and th
flag of the fatherland and they will
live forever. .
I seo today another dead man's hill
a hill that rises in my own land, and
from this 'proud, Imperial city. The
picture of this hill Is Infinitely sad.)
Women crowd it with their forms and '
cover It with their lamentations and
for them there is' no compensation, no
flag to drape above tho picture, no
cross of honor to press Into the baby'
hand, no memory but one of Infamy
and shame. They weep and through,
their tears no rainbow ever shines, for
their dead have died In vain.
Who speaks for these women, for
these who mourn the unnumbered slain
of alcohol, who have followed their
sons to tho drunkard's grave and
their daughters to the stako of man's
(alcohol-fed lust? Who speaks for
them? By the blood of the Innocent
and by the flag of the free, we speak
for them! And wo will speak, until,
by the grace of Ood the God of Wash
lngton, and Lincoln, and Lee until by
tho grace of tho Lord God of Hosts
nod the votes of the American peoplo
we have consummated a saloonlesa
nation, a sober people and a stainless
flag 1 Daniel A. Poling.
FIGURES AND FIGURES.
The number of bushels of grain coo
sumed annually In the manufacture of
alcoholic beverages has been variously
stated by tho press, but the figure most
generally ued has been 000,000,000.
The distillers and brewers now are
calling the attention of the newspa
pers to the fact that they use only
the trltllug amount of approximately
135,000,000 bushels.
Tho Interesting point In tho case Is
that the Inflated figure, 600,000,000,
originated with the liquor Interests,
some years ago and has been used to
Impress tho men engaged In agricul
ture with the Immensity of the market
for grains afforded by the liquor busi
ness and the calamity that would
necessarily result to the farmers front
prohibition.
Not a word of protest was ever ut
tered by the liquor Interests concern
ing the use of this figure until the war
prohibition question loomed large.
Then It was made to shrink In aston
ishing fashion. The figure now named
by the liquor Interests Is approximate
ly the farae as that which appears la
W. C. T. U. literature, notably In
Prof. John Nlcholl's booklet, "Docs It
Pay?" The Union- Signal.
SALOON REVENUE NOT NEEDED.
After the saloons were driven out
of Kansas City, Kan., the state's larg
est city, for the first time In 20 years
that municipality made no debt for
current expenses. And this without
suloon revenue, as Its mayor at that
time, U. S. Ouycr, has recorded In a.
signed statement
The first year the saloons were effec
tively suppressed In Kansas City, It la
recorded by a former attorney general -of
Kansas, that the cost of public pros
ecutions, which the public had to bear,
fell off $25,000. Another saving of
125,000 was made by a reduction of
the police force. How much was
saved the merchants in the better col
lection of accounts, and how much was
saved the people In other ways, can
not be estimated.
LIQUOR LIES ANSWERED.
Through the misuse of statistics,
through cribbing brief statements of
fact from official reports and adroitly
stripping them from their qualifying
clauses, the desperate saloon Interest
still Is trying to fool the nation into
believing that prohibition Is harmful
to Kansas, where the peoplo voluntar
ily havo Just added the most stringent
bone-dry law In existence to keep liq
uor from seeping acrtss the state bor
der from the outside. Capper's Weekly.
SAVE GRAIN FOR BREAD.
On March 8 the Berlluer Tageblatt
asserted that the suspension of all
beer brewing In northern Germany
was Imminent, "due to the desire to
save maize for bread and malt to take
the place of coffee."
DECREASE IN NUMBER.
Tho report of the commissioner of
Internal revenue for tho last fiscal
year (ending June, 1910) shows do
crease In tho number of liquor deal
ers as follows : Rectifiers. 29 ; retail
ers, 5,751; wholesalers, 178; brewers,
32.
THERE'S A REASON.
One of the largest breweries In
Colorado has been turned Into a malt
ed milk fattory, and its owners say
they have greatly Increased their
profits.
FARMERS NOT AFRAID.
The destruction of the markets of
the farmer by the coming of prohibition
Is still one of the hackneyed sophis
tries of the llquorltes. Strange that If
prohibition Is so Inimical to the agri
cultural Interests of a state the farm
ers of North Dakota In electing a gov
ernor last year should have put In
power so enthusiastic an adherent of
the policy ns. Is Governor Frazier.
RULE OF REASON.
The common sense of the country Is
banishing the legalised liquor traffic.
