THE CITIZEN, FRIDAY, JOTA' 2, 1000. r TREATED TOWN TO FREE BEER ft YEAR Millionaire Banker, to Spite the "Drya,"'Kept a Liberty Hall With the "Lid" Off AIMED TO SPITE PROHIBITIONISTS Fancied Ho Could Educate People to a Spirit of Resentment Against Laws that Restricted Their Appetites-Found Them Spineless Slaves. Glasgow, Mo. To spite the Prohibi tionists, who voted this county "dry," John Morrison Fuller, a Rillltonnlro bank president, opened a Personal Liberty Hall and for twelve months served free beer to all who came and as much of it as they desired to drink at any time except Sundays. No restrictions were placed upon the consumption of the beer. It was as free as the water that flowed in the Missouri River. A barrel always was on tap, and rich men or poor, working 1 men or idlers, strangers or natives, were welcome to turn the faucet and drink little or much. , The room had an equipment of easy ( chairs and settees and a long table with the latest newspapers and moga 1 zlnes. Two white men and a negro in white uniforms kept the beer mugs clean and tapped a fresh keg when the one in the icebox ran dry. After a year of this free dispensa tion of beer Fuller closed his Personal Liberty Hall and now the town of Glasgow is parched. "I must admit that my experiment was somewhat of a failure," the mil lionaire banker said. "I fancied I could educate the people to a spirit of resentment against the laws that were depriving them of their liberties to eat and drink what they chose. But I found that they did not care. They are spineless slaves. So long as I kept my place open and gave them free beer they would drink their All, but never a thought would they give to the dangers of a government that says what a man shall eat or drink. And so I closed It and now they can go dry for all I care." The rent of his Personal Liberty " Hall, its furnishings, the beer and the service cost Fuller something like ?7, 000 during the year. The beer alone cost him $80 a week. Fuller is a Harvard graduate and is fifty years old. He Is president of his bank and comes of a well known Vir ginia family. His grandfather was William A. Smith, the founder of the Randolph Macon Methodist College of Virginia. HEN CARRIES EGGS TO MARKET. Makes Dally Trips to Nearby. Store and Then Reports Home. Trenton, N. J. New Jersey chick ens now that the s "ce season has passed and the price of eggs has dropped to a reasonable figure, are developing freakish tendencies that may, perhaps, be attributed to a lazy fever.

Dalrymple, across the street from her' home, and deposltu an egg In a box on the store porch. By vociferously cackling upon her return home she reports the sale of another egg to her master. At Alloway, near Salem, Mrs. Theo dore Ridgway has a curiosity in the shape of two chickens with one head.

DAVISON Rutland, VI. 3000000000000000C0000CCE BLAZING THE TRAIL. International 'Jible Lesson for July 4, '09 (Acts 16: 1-15). In two of tho greatest epics ever written, the Odessey of Hom er and Aeneld of Virgil, the hero starts from Troy. Here was tho tomb of the war rior Achilles, be fore which Alex ander tho Great kindled his ambi tion, and started for the conquest of tho East. Tho ambition of this soldier was to wld all nations Into one vast emplro with common laws and language emanating from a central throne. New Worlds to Conquer. Four centuries later another war rior stood on tho border of Asia, un der tho Bhadow of tho tomb of Achilles listening to tho Macedonian cry, looking for new worlds to con quer. Ho too was a hero of battles, he bore in his hand an Invincible sword, ho was moved by a quenchless ambition that could not bo satisfied while there was another foot of land that had not been trodden by the her alds of the cross. Paul, the apostle, had como to do by spiritual power what Alexander the Great had failed to accomplish with all his cohorts, weld by the sword of the Spirit all nations Into one universal kingdom with common laws and language, is suing from a central throne. On the Firing Line. The pioneer In untraveled regions, the pathfinder in the forests and in the mountains, does not explore for himself alone. While he looks for ward in anticipation he is ever con scious of the host pressing on behind him, and ho seeks for them the safest places and the shortest cuts, and as he goes he slashes with axe the trunks of great trees, that those who follow after may never be out of slgiit of signals of tho proper trail. The ca reer of tho Apostle Paul was much like that. He was tho pioneer of the churches' advancement. He was on the picket line of the oncoming host. He kept far in advanco of the main body of the army of conquest He chafed and fretted in confinement. Ho was the embodiment of Chailcs Kingsley's book "Westward the Star of Empire Takes Its Way." When ho gives a summary of a quarter of a century of service, when his work was not yet finished ho makes out this catalogue: "Of the Jews five times received I 40 stripes save one five times 39 equals 193 stripes. Thrice I suffered shipwreck, a night and a day I have been In the deep. In journey ing often, in perils of waters, in perils of robbers, In perils by mine own countrymen, in perils by the heath en, in perils in the city, in perils in the wilderness, in perils In the sea, in perils among false brethren; In weari ness and painfulness, in watchlngs often, In hunger and thirst, In fastings often, In cold and nakedness." And like a true soldier Instead of saying these things to murmur and complain the old hero says: "Seeing that many glory after the flesh, I will glory also." Honorable Scars. Oliver Cromwell had a vivid scar on his face received in battle. Once a portrait painter attempted to pose him in such a way as that the scar would be concealed. But the grim old warrior would not submit to it. "Paint me as I am," he sald,"I will have scars and all." The scars of honora ble conflict are badges of honor, certi ficates of loyalty of which any man should be proud, and this old Chris tian hero said, "If you think you have reason to glory 'In what you have ac complished I have a few credentials myself." And then ho proceeds to show his scars received while blazing the trail for generations yet unborn. No genuine pathfinder ever was known to complain of the roughness of the way. The men who blaze tho trail expect to endure hardness as good soldiers. Dr. Grenfell, the hero of Labrador, lay down on the ice and slept while drifting on an ice floe out to sea. John Brown had no maledic tions for his enemies though riddled with bullets. Commander Peary, again and again, has flung himself against the icy barriers of the North, in his attempts to reach tho baffling pole. David Livingston, breathing out his life alone in the heart of the Dark Continent, uttered not a syllable of regret over a misspent career. Dr. Jrlson, the light-bearer for India, counted not his life dear unto him self, so that he could get the Scrip tures of truth into the hands of the tomlng millions of that empire. And Paul, looking across tho Agean sea to the Grecian shore, and feeling the divine call stirring within him, to car ry the cross to those regions where the Roman eagle was the highest symboaf power, hesitated not an In stant to cut himself off from his base of supplies, and plant tho standard of the cross on European soil. Europe and America have been redeemed from barbarism, because Paul, the apostle, blazed the troll for the con altering armies of the Cross. E TAX PUN Amendment to Constitution Reported to Senate. TARIFF SCHEDULES FINISHED. President Taft's Corporation Tax Measure Comes Up For Discus sion, and Senator Cum mins Opposes It. Wnshlnpton, June 20. A joint res olution proposing nn Income tax nmeiidnicnt to the constitution w reported to the senate by Mr. Aldrlch, from the finance committee, nml luld on the tnbk'. The proposed amend ment Is ns follows: "Article 1(5. The congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes 011 in-cot- from whatever source derived without apportionment among the sev eral states and without regard to any census or enumeration." Mr. Aldrlch said he thought this amendment might be passed by the senate without debate, but Mr. Ilorah replied that he could not give his as sent until the Income tnx amendment to the tariff Mil should be disposed of. After seventy days of almost con tinuous debate the senate concluded Its discussion of the schedules of the Payne-Aldrlch tariff bill. An earnest speech in favor of a tar iff on tea to protect the, South Caro lina tea Industry was mode by Sena tor Tillman, who declared that there was In his proposition for a duty of 10 cents a pound on this product ?0, 000,000 of revenue and $1,200 of pro tection. Addressing himself to Mr. Aldrich ns the embodiment of the United States senate, Mr. Tillman was Inter rupted by the Ithode Island senator, who suggested that there were some things that ceased to be jokes. "He Is tho senate of the United States, and ho knows it," declared Mr. Tillman, pointing to Mr. Aldrlch, who was sitting just across the aisle from him. Mr. Aldrlch made no further re ply. Senator Smith of Michigan said he had been greatly surprised to find that South Carolina today Is raising fifteen times more tea than did the Island of Ceylon in 1S7.". This discovery, he said, caused him to be very friendly toward any suggestion looking to the protection of that Industry. The last amendment to the tariff bill agreed to was one increasing tho duty on bleaching powder of chlorate of lime from one lifth to one-half a cent per pound. The corporation tax amendment fa vored by President Tnft was next In order for discussion. Senator Cummins of Iowa urged an income tax amendment ns a part of the tariff bill iu contradistinction to the movement for a corporation tax and an Independent resolution looking to the Imposition of an Income tax through tho instrumentality of n con stitutional amendment.

"HECKLING"- JEROME New York City. When William Travers Jerome, District Attorney of New York County, appeared before the people of New York at Cooper Union to answer for his stewardship, he passed through an ordeal unique fn the city's annals.

Long before 8 o'clock the police closed the doors and turned their attention to fighting a great crowd of men and women who struggled to gain admission. William Travers Jerome. The District Attorney's account of his stewardship was received with varied sentiments on the part of the crowd, which fluctuated re peatedly from hisses to shouts of approval and back again. The aisles between the rows of seats were lined with policemen and force was used by them repeatedly to quiet par ticularly insistent Interrogators of Mr. Jerome. Hundreds of questions were literal ly hurled at him, and after a turbulent meeting the 2,000 or more persons who packed Cooper Union declined to register a vote of confidence.
