live Snail’s lesson.
Freddy sat on the wall in the
gtrden with a book in his hand, at
which he was looking with a very
sad face. “I’m sure I shall never
loam it’’ he cried in tones of de-
exor.
The master had given all the
boyß a holiday task, and Freddy
Scott had let the time slip past
without touching a bcok, until only
a week was left and he had his long
poem to learn by heart.
Like most boys, he wished to got
the prize, but did not like the labor
of working for it. Father an idle
boy was Master Freddy; in fact, he
had got it into his head that he was
not as clever as other boys, and that
was not much use to try.
He was thinking that very thing
just now, when his eye fell upon a
snail crawling up the lottom of the
wall on which he sat. “Surely,*'
thought he, “that silly thing is not
going to try to get to the top at that
pace.” Yet slowly, as he watched
it, very slowly, the snail came
nearer and nearer, until at length
the summit was reached and, as
if in triumph the oIJ snail rear* and
it i If ur and waved its horns, until
Freddy laughed outright.
Then the thought flashed upon
him: Suppose the snail had said
what he had, “It is no use trying! '
he would never have reached the
top of the wall, that was certain.
“1 won’t U' beaten by a snail!”
fried he; god he s* t to w ik in

the h 'lTay- came to an end h<*
km vv liis pocin hy Leait, arid could
r< cite it without a mistake
Frize-day came, arid the hoys
listened eagerly for the prize-boy’s
name. Freddy’s surprize can
hardly be imagined when h( heard
his own name called out; but there
was no mistake about it, he had
won the prize.
When Mr. Frnz< r, the master,
hamhd him the hadeome vol
ume, he patted him on the head,
saying kindly —
“Well done, Scott! I am very
glad you have gained a prize; but
how was it you did so well? Did
you expect it?”
“Fir,” said Freddy, looking up
with beaming eyes, “it Mas all
through the snail <>n the wall.”
And to this dav Freddy thinks
that snails are verv clever things
indeed. —Child’s Hour.
In Memory oi Infant of A. Y. Eevenson
Whereas, it lias pleased our
Heavenly Father to take from our
brother his dearly beloved child in
its infancy. God has seen tit. to
remove from earth a bright flower
and has trasplanted in a brighter
world where it will shine as a bright
jewel in the realm of heavenly bliss,
and we would say to our brother
in this sad hour of bereavement, be
reconciled to the will of the Heav
enly Fattier, who doeth all things
for the best, though you may not
realize it now. It seems so hard to
have to part with our dear little
ones, but remember that the Savior
said “suffer little children to come
unto me, and foibid them not, for
of such is the Kingdom of Heaven.”
So remember that when you are
tempted and tossed about by trials
and temptations of this world, that
you have a tie that has gone on be
fore you, and is watching and wait
ing for you over on the other side
of the. river of death, and is calling
vou onward and upward to the
Heavenly land, where there will be
no more sad partings, but where
all will be united in giving praise
to the Redeemer who gave Himself
a ransom for all. Be it
Resolved first, That Winder
Lodge, No. 81 I. 0. O. F., extend
to Brother and family
our deepest sympathy in this sad
hour of bereavement.
Resolved second, That a copy of
these resolutions be given Brother
Eavenson, and a copy be given the
Winder Weekly News for publica
tion and these resolutions be spread
on the minutes of this lodge.
Respectfully submitted,

“This,” said a teacher to her
class of small arithmeticians “is a
unit.” She held up a pencil.
This hook is a unit, too,” Said she.
“And these are units.” And she
showed them a ruler, a flower, and
an apple.
Then she peeled the apple, and
holding up the peel, said, “Now
children, what is this?”
Silence.
“Cume, you know what it is,’’
she urged.

The Prohibition MTve.
Rports reflecting accurately the
present stage of the prohi bitit n
movement in the South show that
more than half the South’s territo
ry is ‘‘dry” absolutely, and that in
th* r< niaining ur*-a, list* and as “ wet, ’’
the sal*: of intoxicants is upon a
restricted scale, says the Washing
ton correspimdcnt to The New York
World. It is evident that the cities
ire the only remaining strongholds
for the saloons.
Georgia now holds the center of
the stage, and for a year has been
experimenting on a “near prohibi
tion law,” which forbids the sale
of liquors containing more than 4
per cent <f alcohol. State wide
jrobibition laws became effective
on January 1 in North Carolina,
Alabama and Mississippi, in each
of which a majority of the counties
had heretofore prohibited the sale
of liquor. Prohibition advocates
in Lousiana have suspended their
fight to test the new Gay-Shattnck
law for the regulation of the liquor
traffic, which became operative Jan
uary 1. The anti-saloon people
say .They will be content if this law
is enforced rigidly.
Tennessee is th* 1 elm f center of
interest among the other states
where jatato wide prohibition fights
are in progress. The prohibition
ists asserts that a -'late wide bill
will pass the legislature, which
they • .\p***-t to organize and con
trol. With the backing of the
state machinery the local option
forces are equally confident that
such a bill will meet defeat. Ken-
tucky, th*' second largest distilling
state in the Union, with 119 coun
ties, has only four in which the sale
of liquor is not prohibited. Vir
ginia presents a string of victories
for the anti-saloon element, as pro
hibition now' exists in eighty of
the state's *>ne hundred counties.
In Texas, where more than half
the counties have accepted prohi
bition, the voters will soon lx: call
ed upon to vote on a constitutional
amendment providing for prohibi
tion. In Arkansas two-thirds of
the state’s area, or seventy-five
counties, are “dry,” and the ques
tion of state wide prohibition will
Ix3 presented to the others for decis
ion. Florida is partly “dry”
through local option, and, as in
most of the other states, the sale of
liquor is principally confined to the
cities.
The results of prohibition gener
ally are gleaned from reports show
ing a great decrease in the record of
arrests for drunkenness, an increase
in the bank deposits of laborers,
fewer cases of wife abandonment,
and a decrease in criminality gen
erally. The difficulty of enforcing
the prohibition laws, however, is
conceded to Ix3 one of the chief ob
stacles to their absolute success in
many states, and this phase of the
question, together with a falling off
in revenues, is to some extent dis
couraging to the authorities.
Every Girl Entitled to One Sweetheart.
Every girl is entitled to a sweet
