GREATEST OF ALL ISSUES
By United States Senator Beveridge
I never touched a drop in all my
life for any reason and never will
Early in life 1 faced the question
squarely considered its probable ef
fect on my brain character and body
saw how it effected others and then
concluded that I couldnt afford un
der any consideration to touch one
drop of the product of either distiller
or brewer I have never regretted
chat step I can tell you Later I
jegan more fully to comprehend the
icojomic and political phases of the
traffic and the result is that I now
view it as the most important issue
before the American people to day
Liquor Dealers Hard Pressed
The liquor dealers are hard
pressed From a position of open de
fiance they have come to that of
conciliation They want to make
their business respectable What a
task To make a business respect
able that incites to murder and de
bauchery that ruins the home and
makes children worse than orphans
a business that is stained with hu
man blood from its beginning unto its
end to make that respectable The
fabled tasks of Hercules pale into in
significance before it for those were
accomplished
In connection with the session of
the Natoal Wholesale Liquor Deal
ers Association recently held the
president of the association declared
Lhat it was their duty absolutely to
eliminate from the business the very
small number of retail liquor dealers
who through ignorance and vicious
ness or through desire for illegiti
mate gain conduct their business in
defiance of the law Our pride as
iiood American citizens he continu
ed and as merchants as well as our
iesire for permanent prosperity
should stimulate us to refuse to sell
goods to any man who so conducts
Iiis place of business as to bring just
criticism on the business as a whole
Saloon keepers merchants Even
Satan must grin at that for a phrase
The Brewers Latest Idea
The latest idea of the prewers
press bureau is the presentation to li
braries throughout the country of the
most seductive and plausible argu
ments that they have- issued regard
ing the alleged fallacies and errors
of prohibition The liquor press stat
es that a systematic plan is being
adopted to give to every library in
the United States the current litera
ture being put out in pamphlet and
book form by the brewers editors
Open Defiance of Law
No matter what the laws may be
Bade to cripple the beverages indus
tries of our present time they can
not and will not be observed by those
managing these industries This is
the latest ultimatum which is editori
ally voiced by a leading organ of the
liquor trade the Brewers Journal
New York It is surprising simply in
its frankness Thats all

I RAMS HORN BROWN
COMING TO CHAUTAUQUA
From Infidel Lecturer to Christian
Preacher
Because there was no love and lot
of poverty in his fathers dingy cabin
a little boy ran away from his Ohio
home He went out into the world
and became a successful publisher
Riches fell into his lap He had a stu
dious mind and he read much He
was hard and his mind worked over
time until he forgot that he had a
soul He became an associate of Rob
ert Ingersoll and followed In his foot
steps He lectured upon the same
platform and he preached the heresy
of agnosticism and infidelity with a
silvery tongue He wrote books where
in he denied his God and defied the
Infinite Once when in Chicago he
heard that the great Moody was tc
preach to a vast audience Curiosity
prompted him to go The sermon was
about love and the beautiful story was
told as only Moody could tell it
On that night a new soul was born
and a new heart beat in the body oi
Elijah P Brown
He who went to scoff returned to
pray
Mr Brown became as ardent an
evangelist of the religion of Christ as
he had been an ardent enemy He de
voted his life and consecrated his mil
lions to the spread of the gospel All
this happened several years ago but
Brown has never faltered in his pur
pose
The subject of this sketch is best
known perhaps as being the founder
of the Rams Horn a non sectarian
religious paper that gave to the world
a new literature and viewed the
church in an aspect that was differ
ent The paper did not pay and the
publisher lost his fortune

In this lin of popular musical offer
ings the Weatherwax Brothers Quar
tette are making the hit of the sea

UNCLE SAMS STAMFS
Vondorful Collection In tho Postoffico
Department Museum
The fact that nearly all men at some
ime were stamp collectors Is said to
itTuiinl tor tin popularity of the olll
iil stamp collection of the United
Slates postotlice department iiinintjuu
icl in connection with the postal inu
ieum in Washington Postotlico de
partment otlicials say 100000 men call
every year to see the museum stamp
collection
The postofllce department museum
is full of interesting objects Jt con
tains almost everything from a lock
of Charles Guiteaus hair to models of
the big battleships of the navy but
by far its most interesting feature ac
cording to the otlicials in charge is
the stamp collection Few visitors
miss that sight and many hobbyists
spend hours poring over it
Uncle Sam as a stamp collector Is a
most signal success He not only has
a complete set of his own stamps but
a complete collection from every other
stamp issuing country in the civilized
world as well His collection Is val
ued by the department at 5200000
but stamp dealers say it would de
mand a figure many times that sum If
placed on the open market for sale
The fact that Uncle Sams stamp
collation Is absolutely complete Is a
stiiiut ditlicult to comprehend even
tn Miose who have been collectors
ti tuselves Must of those who were
collectors in yf us gone by will re
member many empty places there
were in their albums when they glo
ried in the possession or ll0 and
2000 specimens They will recall Mow
many new varieties above the 2UH0
mark cost from 5 to i0 each also
the small fortunes placed on some ot
tlip specially rare specimens the kind
which the dealers catalogues related
had been printed only to the number
ot 100 or so and but six or seven were
known to be in existence
Well Uncle Sams stamp collection
possesses all ot these besides the thou
sands ot common kinds Although it
has taken hard work many years and
a tidy fortune to do it the collection
today stands absolutely complete The
only varieties jet to be added are
those yet to be issued Baltimore

A JUGGLERS TRICK
Clever Feat of Illusion Performed by
an East Indian
A retired naval oliicial who served
Ion in the east says the feats of the
East Indian jugglers are wonderful
fie cites one -
While he was an oilicer on board a
P and O steamship two natives came
aboard at Madras be says They were
a juggler and his assistant After they
had performed a number of minor
feats and had gathered quite a crowd
around them they called for a sack
and a piece of sailcloth
These having been provided the
chief juggler made a small tentlike
structure with the canvas and some
stools He then placed his assistant
in the sack and allowed a sailor to tie
the knot which bound him a fast pris
oner This done the chief carried the
u k into iu open space warning the
people to stand back some distance
and then carried on an auimated con-
versation with his assistant whose re
plies could be distinctly heard coming
from the sack Suddenly the chiei
rushed forward picked up the sack
and dumped it overboard where to
the horror of the passengers and crew
it sank out ot sight
Immediately the captain rushed for
ward and seized the man under the
full belief that he had murdered his
companion but the juggler only smiled
and pointing to the canvas asked that
it be raised This was done and the
supposed drowned man was discov
ered squatting on the deck So real
istic had been thp throwing overboard
nowever that it was some time before
the surprised passengers could realize
a murder had not been committed
How a Bird Dresses
As bird lashions do not change two
suits a year are quite enough for most
birds but they need to take great care
of them Each separate feather must
be cleaned and looked over and the
useless ones pulled out These feath
ers are not packed close together you
know but lie loose and have places
between filled with air When a bird
wants to get warmer he lifts his feath
ers so that these air spaces may be
larcrer But if his feathers are tan
gled or wet and dirty he could not
raise them and soon he could not
keep the head in his little body and
would of course die
Cutting It Short
