THE WEATHER Augueta and Vlelnlty. Clouds and colder tonight and Thure dav. probably rain South Carolina and Oaorgia. Cloudy -tonight and Thtiraday. prob ably rain; noidne NATIONAL PROHIBITION. The prohibitionists are making a great campaign now, for national prohibition. Their agitation of the great prob lem of alcohol poisoning is bound to do good by arousing public sentiment against drunkenness, but they will scarce ly succeed in getting the citizens of America to set up a paternal government at Washington. Yet, who can wonder to find temperance workers going in for drastic measures. An increasing understand ing of the subtle and insidious power of alcohol to pervert human nature and destroy civilisation changes the pro portions of things mightily. Such little things as the form of government and the rights of individuals scarcely seem worth bothering one’s head about when one begins to comprehend the relation ship of liquor to crime, poverty and' suffering. Governor L. B. Hanna says: In this day and age we are studying conservation from all its different angles, and he knows of no conservation so necessary as to conserve the young men who are to grow up and to take their places in the affairs of state and nation. I believe, says he, that for the best interests of the future of our country we should have prohibition not only in onr states but in our nation as well. One might logically argue that a people who are not wise enough to keep sober should be deprived of the right of self government, but it is impossible to make the United States a nation of tee totalers through national law. The best that can be done is to spread the cause of temperanoe from man to man, just as the cause of love and charity and truth are spread. A leading temperance writer has said: •‘I have often wondered when the working tem perance men and women will be rewarded for all their expenditure of labor, time and money by the complete suppression of the liquor traffic. The answer is now going about the country freely, to-wit: when the churches shall wake up to their duty and responsibility. But when will that be? When intelli gent men and women, the leaders of publio opinion, shall clearly comprehend the relation which the liquor traffic bears to the poverty, pauperism, suf fering, wretchedness and orime of the country. “The liquor traffic is a tremendous power; its weight is all and always against the right and on the side of every wrong. But, as God reigns, the right will eventually triumph. When that time comes, as come it will, I would not like to be one of those compelled to admir that this great triumph for God, civilization and humanity, had been won with no help from me.” We offer this little sermonette as worth a thousand times more than an harangue for natural law. Laws are useless, unless men can be found to enforce them and they are for this reason not worth making, until they are an expression of the spirit of their times. We do not need more laws to promote temperance. We need more persons to believe in it and promote it, so that the laws already on hand will become vitalized and active.

"You are very liberal," I remarked. “Do you know what It means to be hungry, he asked. "No, do you perhaps?” "Yes, I do, and 1 will tell you all anout It. You know I was poor when 1 first came to Paris and had a hard (druggie to get on. Mow hard, neith er you nor anybody else ever knew. 1 woke up one morning in August depressed and hungry, more hungry than I can describe. I had tasted no food since the morning bef.ire, 1 did not have a single cent and every thing that 1 could pawn was gone 1 did not know a single .person who might assist me. 1 rummaged through all my pockets and found nothing hut a cigarette I lit It an<l went out. I walked though the streets full of despair. BeatnK no wav out of the misery. As the day passed my hunger grew and I grew more and more faint and full of bitterness Should I really decide t to beg?

Shortly after wards an omelette stood before me, but only two minutes, then it was gone. Then the waiter served a steak. I realised what was happen ing and I was seized with fear 1 had no money to pa; and I thought the waiters and guests were staring at me with suspecting eves. ■lust then somebody slapped my shoulder “How are you?" 1 turned around and saw a pretty young woman, stylishly, perhaps too stylishly dressed "What can 1 do for you Mademoi selle," I asked "Yon don’t seem to remember me.

Then It occurred to the poet that she waa perhapa a foreigner who did not understand Herman and he waa surprised that he had not discovered that right away. Her very feature* and figure ought to have told him that ahe waa no Ger man hut undoubtedly a I’arlsienne, charming, chic and graceful aa ahe waa. It waa too stupid that he had not seen that at flrat glance. Thank Clod he knew her language. He ad dressed her in French. She smiled, u faint pitiful smile and shrugged her shoulder* to indicate that she had not understood him. The young man did not know what to do. Then ahe was no French woman either. What might ahe ha then" Perhapa an Kngllahwoman, hut h* ridiculed the thought when he re membered the lanky, angular daugh ters of Albion that he ln»d seen. The Idea was absurd. Should ahe he a Russian? If ao, he was lost, for he did not know a single word of Rus sian. Ihil suddenly he heard her address him In Ilia own native tongue: “Don't try to find any more subjects of conversation, for I should not un derstand you. If you want anything, you will have to say It very loudly Into my car, for I am almost deaf." So thkt waa why. The young man was dumbfounded. All his confidence of victory had left him and he felt aomethlng he had never known before. Then h* collected hla wlta. What was he to do? Should be shout his wish into her ear? No, that would never do. What he had to tell her isSild he told only In the softest whisp er, and silent and discouraged he walked alhng at her side. The streets with their crowds and noises lay fnr behind them and the mighty trees of the Tlergarten formed a green dome over their heads. Then he looked at her deeply and tenderly, with eyes so full of fervent, passion ate adoration, that It ran like red hot lava through her young body. And now she smiled, a tender happy smile, and trembling with delight her lips whispered: “Yes, I understand you " Hand In hand they walked hack t# the city. denly I knew. She was a young wo- j inan 1 had met once before at Max- I line's in gay company, "LIU,” 1 exclaimed. She eat down next to me. “How kind of you to invite me for j dinner,” she said. The waiter suddenly became very polite Me stood patiently smiling 1 waiting for my orders. All confused j I ordered what L4II asked for. Then ' the fear returned. "You don't look happy tonight, | LIU remarßed. 1 was too nervous to answer.- “Are you sick?" "Yes It feels very close In here.” VVliat was I to do? Should I pre | tend to have lost my pocketbook .’ | 'Die trick was too old —nobody would j believe me Should 1 tell LIU that l ! had not got a single cent to pay wfth? ! Just then Lilt got up and took a powderbox Trom her bag. "1 will be back In a moment," she said. Keep an eye on my bag, please.” She went out. looking around to make sure no- '■ body was observing tne, I opened her j hag wilt! trembling fingers and took i a five dollar bill. Yes, my friend, I really took It. i Then 1 paid and we left. LIU took my arm. "Will you please see me home?’ she asked. When 1 entered her apartment everything turned black around me, but mastering all my energy 1 over came my faintness and said: "l.ilv 1 was dying with hunger 1 could not have paid and they would have had me arrested ” Site Btared at me coldly. I went on: "Then I took $5 from your hag." "What do you say?" * I say the terrible change in her. the cruel ex 1 resslon in her eyes. Trem bling with fury she searched her bag. "My money! my money! *ne screamed "I will send for the po lice. 1 tried in vain to quiet her She screamed louder still. I wanted to run away but she opened the window and screamed: "Police! . I jumped at her, threw her down on the floor and squeezed her throat tv'gether with my hands. SB turned purple in the face, her eyes bulged. Thirty seconds more and neither she nor I would have been alive today. And that might all have been avoided if the elderly gentleman had given me a few pennies Now perhaps you will understand my generosity toward a man who says he is hungry.
