Still, there was no wall paper on the sid walk from the Sher­man house to Ben Ward's restaurant, so it would appear the police may have been on duty at their old stand.

But, in the cold light of history, without the glamour of the Stuart smle, it may be doubtful wheth-er Mary is able to score.

Prohibition by Law. Bishop P. R. Millspaugh, the Ikew

bibliup of Kansas left Minnesota several tnontbs ago as strong an exponent of the high license system as was found in that state, but he is fully converted to prohi­bition. He said in an interview:

"When I went to Kansus I felt there was no better way of handling the liquor traflic than by the high license system, but 1 am now quite as well satisfied that I was mistaken. I have changed my opiuiou of the prohihition law since T

have seen its workings, and I regard it as very desirable. It is especially so from my own spiritual standpoint. For instance, Topeka is a city of 50,000 in­habitants, so that it is quite a town. You can walk the whole length of Kansas avenue, the principal sstreet of the city, and not see a single saloon on either side. What is the effect of "this? The young men are not tempted to go into the g;lded halls where sweet music and allurements are held open to them. There are no temptations for the yonng and there is nothing to lead the man who does not drink habitually to take a drink, just for the sake of being sociable*

''I tind it easier to do missionary work in Topeka than I found it in Minne­apolis or in Omaha. The young men whom we approach are mote inclined to listen, and as mere attendants, in pro­portion to the population: This means something as it is to be credited largely to the effect of temperance legislation.

"The largest wholesale grooerin Kans­as is a prohibitionist, but himself notja teetotaler. He gives it his judgment as a business man that there is 25 per cent more trade done by the grooery, dry goods and hardware trades in than there was before prohibition was established.

"There is no probability that Kansas will ever go back upon the prohibition doctrine. There is no talk, even, about resubmission, and the people are per­fectly satisfied with the law. I do not mean to say that liquor isi not used in K&naas. The drug stores sell liquor, and it you are willing to take aq oftth

that you need the liquor, you can get it. Or you can send uown to Kansas City and have it sent up marked maple syrap, or something else, and there is no one to interfere. But the saloon as an institu­tion of early Kansas, is gone, and it will be a long time before the people would tolerate the saloon in their midst."—The Lever.

COLUMBIA, M<>., May 16.—The experi­ments that have been going oil at the state university electrical laboratory,-testing the effect of Roentgen rays upon diphtheria bacilli, all confirm the theory that the rernis may be destroyed by the rays. The la«t experiment was made with live guinea pigs, the first of the kind ever made in this country. Two guinea pigs were inoculated with a cul­ture of diphtheria. One of the pigs was exposed to the Roentgen ray> fur four hours. After 72 hours this pig showed no signs of diphtheria and is just as lively as before, whereas the pig which was not exposed to the rays died within 28 hours after the injection, and the post mortem showed his death was due to the injection of diphtheria.
