Even Kentucky is Heading
for Prohibition, Too.
Indianapolis News: In looking
over Kentucky one is surprised
by the vast extent of dry
territory in the State. Of the
119 counties 91 are 'dry/'?
Whiskey cannot be sold legally
in their limits, nor any other intoxicating
drink. Of the remaining
twenty-eight counties only
four are nredominated by the
tk\vets," t lie remainder having
only one or two precincts in
which liquor may be sold. Le~s
than a month ago Harrison county
and Cynthiana wore carried
by the "drys" by overwhelming
majorities.
It i? estimated that 97 per cent
of the territory of the State is
dry. In thi.s dwells 74 per cent
of the population. There is only
one wet spot in the entire lltli
Congressional district, the far
famed mountain region of moonshine
and feud. That is the town
of Middlesboro. The same is true
of the Jackson Purchase, comprising
nearly all the western part
of the State, the city of Paducah
being the only wet spot there.
One may ride from Louisville
to Nashville, across the State
from north to south on the Louisville
and Nashville Railroad,
without passing a saloon. All
the southeastern part of the
Stafe, comprising 15,000 square
miles, and one-thuvi of the State,
is dry with the exception ot tlie
town of Miildlesboro.

t-ucky, says its aim ha-? been, not
to inject polities into temperance
affairs, Vmit to inject temperance
into politics. The success of
this strategic move is shown bv
the way in which the Republican
anil Democratic parties in Ken
tucky find themselves brought
face to lace with the issue compelled
to deal with it straight
out.
There are many prediction*
that Kentucky will in a lew years
present 'he astounding spectacle
of going wholly 41dr.v " llowover,
there are 253 distilleries in
the State, and these are working
night and day to appease the
thirsty of all lands.
Pies Pulled up Poplar.
Sati Francisco Star: "Speaking
ot exaggerations," said a
traveller, "reminds me of the pie
bird story of the Breton farmer.
There was a farmer in Brittany,
who wished to tell a visitor how
his farm had been overrun with
pies Pies, you know, are large
birds, black and white, with long
tails?a kind ot crow. The farmer
said the pies devastated his
fields horribly. If he put up
scarecrows, the birds tore them
down. One day his young son
ran into the granite farm house
and shouted :
Oh, lather, hundreds ot birds!
The \vhe?t i- bein^ all eaten up!
The larmer loaded his gun.
But where were I he^shot? None
could be found. He put in a few
hand I uls of tacks instead. Then
he ran out. The wheat field
was black and white, like a
