THE MAN WHO CAME BACK. Every newspaper reuder knows Walt Mason whose rippling rhymes are sent all over the country by a press syndi cate. In a recent innguzlne article Walt has a atory of a "Hus-Been Who Came Back." It Is his own utory. He begun his journalistic career ut twenty-two, soon became a victim of drink, and was a down-nnd-outer at forty-five. Then he' went to dry Kansas, began oguln at the bottom of the bidder and climbed to the top. This Is what Wil liam Allen White, editor of the Em poria Gazette and well-known author says of him : "When he (Walt Mason) wrote for a job on the Quzette he said that he had all the degrees that could be con ferred upon blm by a certain Institu tion which claimed to cure booze-flght-ers, and thut he had tried high re solves many times, only to wake up and find the brewer's dnughter feed ing his week's salary to her favorite cat . He sold he wanted before ho quit to try a dry town. Now Emporln Is a dry town. It started dry. In 1857 that Isn't a misprint for It was sixty two years ago, in an age when a preacher could stew his soul In toddy without losing caste Emporia In the charter of the town company started with a prohibition clause. It did not always hold the Rum Fiend away. But it always bothered him to get In. So he never waxed fat In Emporia. And for a generation Emporia, while not bone-dry, has not been moist. "When Walt Mason came here the town was fulrly dry. Alcohol formed no part of the town's conscious thought. No one invited him to drink. He heard no talk of drink ; he saw no one drinking, and to get liquor he would hnve had to associate with loaf ers and plug-uglies. So Walt Mason in a dry town, having plenty of work to do, did It well. And the town stood by blm and cheered blm. Ten thousand people beenme his friends. They are his friends today. "It is ten years," says Mr. Mason, "since I came to Emporia with my one extra shirt and my $1.35. Since prosperity overtook me I have received flattering offers from Chicago, New York, and even from London. But little old Emporia Is good enough for me. Moral A "hns-been" can come back la a dry state. GLAD TO BE FORCED OUT. A Missouri saloonkeeper perhaps txpressed the sentiments of his fel lows fairly well when on being cnlled to account for his violation of the lnw repnrdlng the Rnle of liquor, he locked tte door of his booze emporium and remarked: "I've oult business for good. The booze business is dead anyway, nnd I'm glnd to be out of it." v believe this voices the feeling of the majority of the wets. The wnr which has forced them out of busi ness Is at the same tlmo offering them t!ie chnnce of the ages to enter and pet a start in legitimate industries. One of the avowed r en sons for the President's brewery closing edict was the need of men for the reully essen tial, wln-the-wnr enterprises, and nny liquor denier possessed of a scintilla of self-respect and desire to stand well with his fellow men will welcome this opportunity to begin anew.

'Period' is right. A period is what comes at the end of the sentence, nln't it? Well, this period is the end, an' the sentence is for life. Can you see us gettln' back our rights nfter the wnr? If the proud an' prlmevol ins'tltootlon couldn't stay here when It was here it's got a fine chnncct to get back here when it ain't here." THEY WILL BE GRATEFUL.
