Prohibition is iho father of ingenu
ity. The Washington (D. ('.) Post
tells how the clever ones are ‘‘beat
ing” prohibition in their own little
way.
“Grand Forks, N. D., is a prohibi
tion town, but that does not mean that
visitors in Grank Forks or the resi
dent thereof can not get all they want
to drink,” remarked Frank Brennan,
a lawyer of Chicago, at the New Wil
lard.
"Grand Forks is on the line between
North Dakota and Minnesota, and
Minnesota is not dry. But they have
a different method of supplying those
who want a glass of beer or a drink
of liquor from most of the towns be
tween wet and dry states. I observed
after 1 had been in the town for a few
hours that there were a great many
one horse carriages —old style ve
hicles that paraded up and down
the principal street. Every once in a
while you could see one of these car
riages drive up to the sidewalk and
then drive off quickly in the direction
of the bridge that spans the stream be
tween the states.
“It took me some time before I
got on to the reason: then I observed
that the driver of the carriage always
responded to the call of a pedestrian.
Tlie latter only had to give the high
sign and one of the vehicles would go
up alongside the walk, when a man
or men would jump in and ride away.
In about five minutes you could see
the same vehicle drive back and un
load Its passengers. They had im
c
bibed all they wanted or needed.
't ' .i Me finest 1 M'lesque-on pro
hibition that 1 have seen anywhere.
It has been my observation that there
has been a reaction setting in in the
western states. Many of the towns
in local option states that have been
dry have voted recently to go back
into the wet column, and in Vermont
[ the . people have overturned prohibi
1 tion, which had been In force for
l
many years.

?ORA KEEN WRITES OF
THRILLING EXPERIENCE.
Dora Keen, the famous mountain
climber, who recently married George
William Handy, of McCarthy, who ac
companied her In her great climb of
Mount Blackburn, has an article in
the October Scribner, describing an
ascent of the dtifieult Giant’s Tooth
in the Alps. It is; a vivid narrative of
adventure, and you can’t help admir
ing the pluck and splendid courage
that inspired such an effort. There
are some line photographic illustra
tions. She says:
“But there was a zest in the com
bat, a challenge to will-power and tac
tics, as well as to endurance and
muscle, in that seemingly inaccessable
summit. There was the thrill of ad
venture in every step, and with every
foot won a sense of accomplishment,
a new consciousness of power, which
brought confidence and strength for
the fray. In the space of a few hours,
...
more than in years before, I seemed
to be acquiring all the qualities need
ed for the hard battles and decisions
of life. The rocks were pitiless. Help
was far. There must be no mistakes,
whether of action or judgment, no
slips, no moment when each was not
doing his best, his part for the suc
cess of all."
