Nearly forty million people in the United States now live in "prohibition territory." At first glance the above statement, made bv Dr. P. A. Baker, general superintendent of the Anti-Saloon League, at Denver, Col., may seem extravagant, but Dr. Baker says it is based upon accurate figures compiled in the league departments, and that the number is swelling daily. Few people realize that the temperance wave has swept over the country in the last few years with such persistent vigor that now nearly onehalf the population of the United States is situated in territory where the saloon is forbidden. "The temperance people of this country have been closing saloons in the United States at the rate of thirty a day during the year 1908," said Dr. Baker, "and I believe that it will contine at that rate during the rest of the year.' About eight million people abolished saloons last year, and I am confident that this year those figures will be duplicated. It is not fully realized by the general public that the temperance movement has been so universally successful as it has. "Partly by state abolition of saloons and to a greater degree by local option the prohibition territory of the United States has been increased until there are now 40,000,000 people living in places where the saloon is forbidden. Eight states are in the prohibition Hot anH wo Virmo t/-? nnf. mrvrp MVU **W w WUV4 WW w ^ V%v V there. Last spring people liying in the State of Illinois abolished 1,500 saloons in one day. "The Anti-Saloon Leagtje is not interested in partisan politics. We have nothing directly to do with the prohibition party. Our work is carried on by the members of all parties. We ha^e a political department, but it is not concerned with the partisan side of politics. "I have just reached here after a trip to Salt Lake City and other places in the West. I find conditions there excellent in our cause. In Wyoming, Idaho and Utah they are working for a law that will provide for county local option and are seeking to elect men to the legislatures who will pledge themselves to the passage of such a measure. The Mormons are in favor of the county local option movement and are working diligently for it. The authorities of the Mormon church are co-operating splendidly in this workand \fre are securing good organization all through the country." Best Treatment for a Burn. If for no other reason, Chamberlain's Salve should be kept in every household on account of its grea; value in the treatment of burns. It allays the pain almost instantly, and unless the injury is a severe one, heals the parts without leaving a scar. This salve is almost unequaled for chapped hands, sore nipples and diseases of the skin. Price, 25 cents. For sale by Kaufmann Drug Co. ICoatbs for Brides.

Mr. John White, of SS Highland ave., Houlton, Me., says: "Have been troubled with a cough every winter and spring. Last winter I tried many advertised remedies, but the cough continued until I bought a 50c. bottle of Dr. King's New Discovery; before that was half gone, the cough was all gone. This winter the same happy result has followed; a few doses once more banished the annual cough. I am now convinced that Dr. King's New Discovery is the best of all cough and lung remedies.''

' fcteve Brodie, the Bridge Jumper, as a Self Advertiser. Curiously enough, the man who, In my opinion, had the keenest intuition of the value of publicity and used it to the greatest personal advantage, when we consider his humble beginnings and the limited sphere of his endeavor, never really knew how to read and write. I knew him first as a young street urchin, making his living by selling newspapers, blacking boots, run ning errands and doing such odd jobs as fell In his way, and it was chiefly through selling newspapers, whose headlines alone he was barely able to decipher, that he gained that knowledge of what Park row calls "news values," which one finds in every trained and efficient city editor. It was on the strength of this knowledge that this bootblack went one day to a well known wholesal^liquor dealer on the east side and proposed that he should establish him in a saloon on lower Bowery. The liquor dealer was aghast at his presumption until he learned his scheme; then he capitulated at once, and within a few days the pa pers had been signed and twenty-four hours' option secured on rickety and. from nearly every imaginable point of view, undesirable premises near Canal street and directly under the noisiest and dustiest and oiliest part of the elevated railroad. This done, the bootblack made his way to the very center of the Brooklyn bridge, climbed hastily to the top of the parapet and, heedless of the warning shouts of the horrified onlookers and the swift rush of a panting cop, dropped into the seething waters below. It was an unknown youth with/an earning capacity of a few dollars a week who disappeared beneath the sur | face of the East river, out it was an enterprising young man, an east side celebrity, in fact all ready for the divine oil of publicity and with an assured income and possible fortune in his grasp, whose nose reappeared very shortly above the muddy surface of the water and who was helped by willing and officious hands into a rowboat where dry clothing awaited him, together with hearty congratulations on the fact that he alone, of all .those who had attempted to jump the bridge, had escaped with his life. The next day fVidk noma r?f Slavft "Rrrtflfp WAS flashed from one end of the country to the other, and within a very few hours after his discharge from custody?he was arrested on the charge of trying to take his own life?he was standing behind his own bar, serving drinks to the crowds who came to gape at Steve Brodie, the bridge jumper, and to pour their money into his coffers.?James L. ? ora m success aiagazme. UNFINISHED BOOKS. Authors Who Died Leaving Stories Partly Written; Many writers. Including the famous Ouida, have died leaving behind them unfinished books. One of the best known is, of course, Dickens' "The Mystery of Edwin Drood," a remarkably clever story, and one showing no signs of diminishing vitality, although he was actually at work upon it up to within a few hours of his deathDickens' great rival, Thackeray, again, left behind him not one only, but two unfinished stories. One of these, "Denis Duval," promised to rank with his best work. Unfortunately, however, he had completed only seven chapters when he was stricken down. i Scott, too, left a tale unended?"The Siege of Malta"?written while he was on his last futile journey in search of health. This work has never been published,' although' more than twothirds of it was completed at the time of his death. Then there was "St Ives," left unfinished by R. L. Stevenson, as was "Zeph," by Helen Jackson, and I "Blind Love," by Wllkie Collins. Buc kle never completed his "History of Civilization," although he toiled at it for twenty years. Among famous poems that were never completed mention may be made of Byron's "Don Juan," Keats' "Hyperion," Coleridge's "Christabel" and Gray's "Agrippina." Spenser's "Faerie Queene," too, is no more than a fragment, although a colossal one. Lastly, there ought to be included Ben Jonson's beautiful, unfinished pastoral, "The Sad Shepherd," found by hlg literary executors among his papers after his death and published in its incompleteness.?Pearson's Weekly.' No Use For It. Uncle Zebulon was on a visit to his nephew In the big city, and the two had gone to a restaurant for dinner. They had given their c^der and were waiting for it to be filled when the younger man, who had been glancing at a paper that lay on the table, said: "By the way, uncle, did you ever have cerebro-spinal meningitis?" "No," replied Uncle Zebulon after a few moments' mental struggle with the miocHftn "nnd t dnn't want any. I'd rather have fried liver and bacon any dar."
