found himself held' at arm's b-r.jrth by j
the surrounding clergy. In "Tho j
Life and Letters of CJeorge Bancroft'"
Mr. M. A. DeW. Hoe quotes the fob j
lowing item from the old minister's I
"Memoranda:"
"An honest but very intelligent I
farmer of my parish some ten years
ago accosted me in this manner:
"Well Mr. Bancroft. what do yon
think the people of the old parish
say of me now?'
"I answered 'I hope something
good.'
They say. "If we find fault win
him he does not mind it at all; and
if we praise him he does not mind it;
but keeps steadily on his own way;
we therefore have concluded that it is
best to let him alone.'"
"The farmer mentioned the fact as
a subject of laughter but I thought
and still think that taking the declar-
ation in its bearings it was the pret-
tiest compliment I have received
through my whole life." Youth's
Companion.

PROHIBITION IN OKLAHOMA.
The history of prohibition shows the
movement to have been dominated by
impractical men from the beginning
and in every state where it has been
tried. While the government is the
chief beneficiary in tu? manufacture
of liquor. It will be dispensed in some
way. All any state or any community
c an hope to do is to control it and keep
it within bounds until It burns itself
out or until such time as the national
government is willing to wash its
hands of the business.
Local option has done more for the
ause of temperance than all other
causes combined and gradual relief
has through it come to nearly every
state In the south when it has had the
strongest test of anywhere. Air tight
prohibition has not been a success
anywhere and is not likely to be until
there is a new- and altogether differ
ent attitude toward ttie sutiiect on
the part of the general goicrniuent.
Thousands of hincere advocates of
prohibition have been disgusted at
the radical and impractical methods
of those who assume the leadership
cf the prohibition movement. This
lias been so in Oklahoma to an un-
usual extent. The Billups bill c rent-
ing dispc isarics was voted down by a
larger majority vote at the general
election last fall yet some of the
ranting advocates of that legislative
monstrosity insist that it is a model
law and ought to till be enforced.
The bootlegger has disappeared for
under the operation of the Billups
law as it is administered in most c ities
in the state there is no need of secre-
c y in the sale of licpior. The misguid-
ed advocates of the Bijllups law- were
told last year by many friends of pro-
hibition what the results would be and
were pi.-auea wiin to gne me people j teen frightened literally
something more reasonable but with-'his haggard reflection-
out avail. Now that failure of the
law has been demonstrated to the
sorrow- of a great state these weak-
lings are c harging the failure to bad
c itizenship and venal officers. It is a
good time for the people of Oklahoma
to apply a little horse sense to this
ouefition.
The Earliest Religion.
Religion was at first purely dog
matic an affair of the family pure and
simple. The gods were the dead an
cestors and the worship consisted of
the perpetual rare of the hearth fire
and the graves of the departed rela-
tives. It was the ancient belief (the
most ancient so far as we know) that
the departed ancestors continued to
live In or about the tomb and that
their peace and happiness depended
absolutely upon the care with which
their "posterity looked after their wor-
ship. If the hearth fire was allowed to
die down or the lomb was neglected
or the food and drink were not faith-
fully taken to the tomb their exist-
ence became a wretched one. where-
as if these things were carefully at-
tended to all was serene wi:h them.
There is much to show that this
domestic belief obtained for a long
time before the belief in God and a
future life came in. Chic:gc Amer

Where They Came From.
It is surprising from whence came
the most common articles of food. The
onion the leek garlic and pea were
favorites in Kgypt; rye and parsley in
Siberia; the the citron and currants in
Greece and radishes hail from China
and Japan.
The hnrsechestnnt is a native of
Thibet "The Forbidden Land;" and
the mulberry tree walnut and peach
traveled westward from Persia. Very
few consider that oats originated in
North Africa at a time when Kgypt)
was the granary of the world.
The chestnut came from Italy
celery from Germany spinach from
Arabia the sunflower from Pent and
cucumbers from India. Tobacco is a
native of Virginia.

Rosenbanm had a store between
Smith's and Brown's and all three

often hilarious together over their
neighbor's lack of business ability.
After the three stores had been visited

Brown covered the fronts of their
stores with flaming signs announcing
the fire sale; but to their horror
everybody went to Roser.baum's. Not
until their unbusinesslike neighbor
had sold everything hut the gas meter
did they discover his large sign.
