There is no such thint ; as prohibition hero. There are two wholesale original pu-lago ; houses running here. Some persons who ni'o strangers and do not luiow how easy It Is to buy tbelr liquor by the drink , go to these package houses and buy n bottle of beer. Tlioy nro told that they must not open tbo bottle Insiilo the building. They no sooner got out of the door with the bottle until thfy nro tackled by little boys who nro supplied with corkscrews. These boys say : "I'll pull the cork for you , pnrd , If you'll give mo the bottle , " and the proposition is accepted , The boy sells tlio bottle for 5 cents to the Junk man. In mnny instances there is a little beer left In llio bottle , and In tbls way tbcso youngsters nro given a frco opportunity to bocon.o drunkards.
