the popular belief, all is <lb/>

girls get that way. <lb/>
Bachelors are never popular <lb/>
with young mothers because they <lb/>
invariably refer to the baby as it. <lb/>
The advanced woman is some- <lb/>

It takes a sharp young man to <lb/>
cut out his rival in love. <lb/>
The ambidextrous chap can <lb/>

A good name of much value <lb/>

So far as egg were concerned no <lb/>
one seemed to observe Easter here <lb/>
yesterday. The little boys should <lb/>
have had their pockets full of red, <lb/>
green, blue yellow Easter <lb/>
eggs, but they didn't. The <lb/>
tom in vogue in the western part <lb/>
of the State evidently does not <lb/>
prevail here. every <lb/>
little boy commences to collect <lb/>
eggs a week or before Easter <lb/>
and his stealthy and raids <lb/>
on the home hen nests causes the <lb/>
egg local market to rise cents <lb/>
cents. On Easier morning he fills <lb/>
every pocket full of eggs and goes <lb/>
to church, and church and <lb/>
for the rest of the day he spends <lb/>
his time eggs He holds <lb/>

STOP THE TRAFFIC. <lb/>
For quite a while I have seen <lb/>
articles in various regard <lb/>
to the liquor of this and <lb/>
other sections of the State, and <lb/>
you will be so kind as to allow me <lb/>
a few lines in your paper I will <lb/>
state just a my experiences <lb/>
regard to this great question. <lb/>
First it has the great pleas <lb/>
ore of the writer to spend a few <lb/>
mouths in a section of the State <lb/>
where the manufacture and sale of <lb/>
liquor is prohibited there <lb/>
what do we limit I will answer, <lb/>
we find in the small villages lady <lb/>
keepers, lady postmasters, <lb/>
lady railroad In fact the <lb/>
small towns are run by the ladies. <lb/>
The do the farm work. They <lb/>
are not needed at the store, post- <lb/>
office or depot, why Because <lb/>
everybody is sober every <lb/>
that is human prefers dealing with <lb/>
a lady to a man. Therefore the <lb/>
ladies can attend, to the indoor <lb/>
work the the hard and labor- <lb/>
the kind the lady cannot do, <lb/>
thereby bringing prosperity to a <lb/>
home that might be of <lb/>
and need. <lb/>
I want to nay right here that I <lb/>
am not in the dispensary <lb/>
law, as that is only taking the <lb/>
liberty of our free people away <lb/>
from them and places it in the <lb/>
hands government, which is still <lb/>
worse, but I do want to ask my <lb/>
liquor friends if they not think <lb/>
it would be best to have none at <lb/>
all. may ask you to tell <lb/>
me where I can a small <lb/>
village where liquor is sold, with <lb/>
a lady merchant, a <lb/>
a lady telegraph operator <lb/>
railroad agent I believe <lb/>
there is one, why Because the <lb/>
language they would hear, the <lb/>
actions they would see, would dis- <lb/>
gust a mule, and they stay at <lb/>
home with all doors locked <lb/>
windows fastened down to protect <lb/>
themselves from the disgrace of <lb/>
those upon the outside. <lb/>
Mr. Editor I was passing through <lb/>
your town a kw days ago and I <lb/>
saw something that touched a ten <lb/>
tier spot me. I was standing <lb/>
near the passenger depot and saw <lb/>
a young man with Ins mother cross <lb/>
railroad, driving at a <lb/>
neck speed, so full that he could <lb/>
hardly sit in the buggy. I expected <lb/>
to him fall out before he cross- <lb/>
ed both tracks, but luckily he <lb/>
not. Now what a picture Au <lb/>
old gray haired <lb/>
home by a drunken son. can any <lb/>
imagine how this old lady felt t <lb/>
Too old feeble to guide the <lb/>
horse, with her own son and <lb/>
he too drunk to guide him, Oh <lb/>
how my sympathy went out <lb/>
her. A boy's best friend, <lb/>
and he so forgetful of her as to do <lb/>
act that be knew would <lb/>
her so much trouble. <lb/>
My liquor friends, some day <lb/>
son may be taking his mother <lb/>
home in the same condition. Do <lb/>
you want her taken home by a <lb/>
drunken sou t Then if you do not, <lb/>
lend a helping baud to those who <lb/>
are trying to get clear of this great <lb/>
evil. Some of your readers no <lb/>
doubt will say that I am a <lb/>
perhaps some of them <lb/>
will say that I am working for my <lb/>
benefit. To those I <lb/>
would like to say that am in one <lb/>
sense of the word a <lb/>
but no interest of my own is at <lb/>
am a young man, single <lb/>
expect will always but I <lb/>
have lots of young friends who I <lb/>
feel an interest in as a <lb/>

Col. strictly in <lb/>
duly in Philippines <lb/>
and he has only recently returned <lb/>
to duty from a two month's sick <lb/>
leave. Nothing shows plainer <lb/>
that the government has been <lb/>
robbed extensively the Philip- <lb/>
pines than Hie fact that I lie average <lb/>

in round numbers soldiers <lb/>
over there, this is no small matter. <lb/>

but In greeting the Chief of Ar- <lb/>
made a subordinate <lb/>
Adjutant General, although the <lb/>
the position says the <lb/>
holder shall be on <lb/>

protest to the Secretary of <lb/>
against this violation of law, but <lb/>
