and still remain sane All the while
we were thinking of the ancient bit of
reasoning by which it can be conclusive
ly proven that your cat has three tails
Before the loud applause evoked by the
mayors eloquent peroration had dipd
away most of the hearers had reached
the conclusion that the challenger had
met his defeat Before Dr Dickie had
gone half way through his speech of
rebuttal all doubt was swept away and
the audience almost to a man was
ready to acknowledge that Rose had
been beaten to a frazzle
carrying
the argument
into the
enemys camp
The Rev Dr Rose said Dickie in
answering the biblical argumentwould
make a line minister provided he had
the right sort of religious oxperience
aDd could find a church wishing a min
ister who knew little about either relig
ion or politics It was stated that all
the churches and all the people who
spend their time in studying and teach-

MAYOR KOSES THOUNY ARGUMKNT
When the defender of the saloons
arose to apeek of course he received nn
ovation tie was in the bouso of his
friends Five timps this city has olect
od him chief executive His was the
popular side of the question The brew
ors are in good standing in Milwaukee
The mayor is a clevor lawyer and he is
usually a free and forceful speaker but
that night he certainly was not at ease
Dr Dickies speech had gotten on his
nerves words stuck in bis throat four
times be tried to say Protestantism
and then bad to be prompted His
honors recent plea for a division of the
public school money with the parochial
schools helper us to understand bis
evident lack of acquaintance with that
particular polysyllable
Mr Rose consumed thirty five min
utes in reading lengthy passages from
the scriptures to prove that prohibition
is repugnant to every teaching of the
Bible As argument it was wearisome
nnd worthless The mayors friends
looked disappointed and seemed to be
wondering when he would reach the
subject They did get up a cheer when
he said that the Prohibitionists were
not satisfied with the ten command
ments as the Lord had given them nnd
so tbey had attempted improvement by
writingan eleventh By endless stat
istics he heroically endeavored to estab
lish his claim that prohibition causes
crime higher death ratey insanity
domestic infelicity pauperism injury
to business and destroys personal liber
ty He had the statistics vclumes full
of them But an audience of any intelli
gence might be inundated in such figures
statistics do not prove anything they
ive Milwaukee a good showing because
men are not arrested for drunkenness
here if it can be nvoided The high
number of arrests in dry territory is
often due to the fact that men return
drunk after visiting wet towns across
the line Statistics about deaths from
alcoholism are equally useless The
last thing a physician is willing to write
on the death certificate is alcoholism
He calls it heart failure or something
else The action of the great insurance
companies is sufficient answer to that
argument And insanity Dr Dickie
offered S100 to any onb who would find
one man made crazy by the closing of
the saloons In answer to the assertion
that prohibition is responsible for in
creased divorce rate uo statistics were
offered The speaker simply said that
he had enough common sense to know
that it is not true Of the limited num
ber of divorces of which he had personal
knowledge six were due directly to
drunkenness and he doubted whether
the whole audience could produce a
single case caused by sobriety The
economic argument was given most at
tention It was made clear that the
saldon is never a wealth producer but
always a waster Dr Dickies pleasant
parody o the mayors
and the
peroration was a reductio ad absurdum
with a thud

Samuel Gurrett Main St Minden

kidney trouble for a number of years
despite all her efforts for relief Dull
pains in the small of her back would at
times seize her and make it almost im
possible for her to move When she
stooped she would become very dizzy
and spots would appear before her eyes
She was restless at nght and during
the day would feel tired and worn out
Last fall Doans Kidney Pills were
brought to my attention and I procured

them She did so and was restored to

ANCIENT ROME
How the Insects Work When
3AUgfi35Saiaas
Could Not Compara In Splendor
With Some Modern Capitals
Rome even In the times of Its great
est splendor was poor in comparison
with the modern world Even in the
second century after Christ when it
stood as metropolis at the head of an
immense empire Rome was smaller
less wealthy less imposing than a
t
great metropolis of Europe or of Amer
ica Some sumptuous public edifices
beautiful private houses that Is all
the splendor of the metropolis of the
empire
Moreover the palaces of the Caesara
on the Palatine are a grandiose ruin
that stirs the artist and makes the
philosopher think but If one sets him
self to measure them to conjecture
from the remains the proportions of
the entire edifices he does not conjure
up buildings that rival large modern
construction The palace of Tiberius
for example rose above a street only
two meters wide less than seven feet
an alley like those where today In
Italian cities live only the most miser
able inhabitants We have pictured
to ourselves the imperial banquets of
ancient Rome as functions of unheard
of splendor if Nero or Elagabalus
could came to life and see the dining
room of a great hotel In Paris or New
York resplendent with light with
crystal with silver he would admire
it as far more beautiful than the halls
in which he gave his imperial feasts
Think how poor were the ancients In
artificial light They had few wines
they knew neither tea nor coffee nor
cocoa neither tobacco nor the in
numerable liqueurs of which we make
use In face of our habits they were
always Spartan even when they wast
ed because they lacked the means to
squander Guglielmo Ferrero In Put

THE BUSY BEES
They
Are Collecting Honey
Upon the approach of a bee to any
flower it flies around the calyx almost
always before alighting upon the tlow
er itself This is a cursory examina
tion and with Its antennae out
stretched and quivering it Is evidently
scenting the honey contained within
Should this prove a fruitful flower
and of the flavor required the bee set
tles on the center of the stamen and
clutching it with its four front legs
steadies itself with Its longer out
stretched two hindermost ones and
withdraws the nectar by its proboscis
the wings of the bedy assuming a
vibratory motion the while
The bees proboscis is a most impor
tant iiistruuiLMit It is composed of
about forty cartilaginous rings each
of which is frinued with minute hairs
having also a small tuft of hair at its
extremity whore it is somewhat ser
rated Its movement is like the trunk j
of an elephant and is susceptible of
extension and contraction bending1
and twisting in all directions Thus
by rolling it about it searches out

er and deposits its nectar upon the
tongue whence it passes into the gul
let at the base
The gullet or first stomach is the
honey bag Xo digestion takes place
here In shape it is like an oil flask
and when full contains about one
grain It is susceptible of contraction
and is so arranged as to enable the
insect to disgorge its contents into the
colls of the hive Philadelphia North

sonething like a leer in his eye to
