Stays Packed in a Traveling Man's Trunk Caused the Trou- ble--The Adventure of the Missing "Article. New York, Nov. 29.--Hidden away in' a drawer filled with the innumer- able treasures of her trousseau, Mrs. Robert Livingston Beekman, the beau- tiful daughter of Gen. and Mrs. Sam- uel Thomas, has a dream of a corset which was the innocent cause of bring- ing the one shadow into the life of -a happy married Brooklyn couple, which almost resulted in the unbinding of the marriage knot. A few years ago Mrs. Beekman, who was then Miss bkleanor Thomas, set out with her maid for a trip to the far west. The pride of her travelling wardrobe was a corset made of the richest kind of silk and trimmed with lace. After leaving Cincinnati, Miss Thomas missed the corset and called upon the maid for explanation. The maid said she was sure she had packed it. Inquiry was made of the hotel people, but it had not bden seen. Miss Thomas always was anxious to solve the mystery of. the corset's disappear- ance, and when her father, Gen. Sam- uel Thomas, went to Cincinnati a year later, she asked him to inquire fur- ther at the hotel about it. He did so. The clerk eagerly said : "What do you know about that corset ?"' Gen. Thomas told him. The clerk looked dazed for a ute and then burst out. . "Then you don't know that that cor- set has separated a most devoted cou- ple, and that a lawyer is now here getting evidence upon which to base a separation suit." Gen. Thomas was amazed and eag- erly listened to the story of the ad- ventures of the missing treasure. When Miss Thompson left her room at the hotel her maid had left the cor- set in the wardrobe. The next day a travelling man from Brooklyn occu- pied the room. He was suddenly called away, and left orders with clerk to have his trunk packed with all his possessions in the room and sent to his Brooklyn home. A porter, oming across the corset, packed that. <0 that when the voung wife unpacked the trunk in Brooklyn the first thing that met her eves was the corset. Explanations "didn't go" with the wife. There was a quarrel and she went home to her mother. When Mrs. Beekman learned of ums <he wrote to the wife, telling who she was and.how she had lost the. corset. The wife was ohdurate, and would not accept an explanation until Mrs. Beek- man called on her a short time ago and convinced her of her hushand's innocence. The couple are now re- united. min- ANNOUNCEMENTS. m-- The Prohibitionists Will Have a Big Rally. From the Prohibition Committee.

AS TO PROHIBITION. A Kansas Newspaper Points Out Some Pecularities. From the Anti-Prohibition Committee. The Atchison, Kansas, Daily Globe says : Rev. Charles M. Sheldon, of Topeka, who has acquired some fame by his writing and sermons,.is to go to Can- ada to assist the prohibition party there in securing prohibition in Can- ada. There is something about ' this that to the ordinary mind is incompre- hensible. Kansas --has prohibition, constitutional prohibition and has had it for twenty years and more and yet in the town where Rev. Mr. Sheldon lives and works and preaches there is a saloon on every corner and frequent- ly an extra one in the middle of the block. The prohibitoiy law is given® no more heed than if such a thing had never been heard in Kansas. The saloons are as open as they are in any city in the land. With such evi- dence as this right at his own door does Mr. Sheldon undertake to say that prohibition prohibits or that it is a success? Will he tell the Can- adians that it is a success in Canada? If pe tells them it is a failure how can he urge them to adopt ,t. He can tell them, of course, that theore- tically prohibition 'is a good and great thing which it is, but will he not have to tell them if he tells them the truth that practically it is a failure. It is as clear and distinctly local option as though it were designated that way in the constitution and the laws pro- hibition does not prohibit in any town or city where the sentiment is in favor of saloons. Saloons could not exist even without prohibition. The constitutional amendment and the laws relating to .it are dead letters in all places where the' sentiment is for license or for saloons. Will Mr. Shel don tell his audiences in Canada this indisputable truth and if he does how can he consistently urge them to adopt a law that he must admit is a failure here in his own home? If Mr. Sheldon is conscientious he must tell his hearers up in the north country what prohibition ought to do in han- sas not what it does do in Kansas Mark X Onder Word No. On December 4th next the people of the province of Ontario will be called upon to answer at the polls this ques- tion, "Are you in favor of bringing into force the liquor act, 1902?" And the people of the province will answer ii no uncertain tone that they are in favor of no such a thing. They know if they are to make men 'sober they cannot do it by simply keeping the cause from their hands. They know that it is surely infinitely better to a man=~kept straight by . his strength of manhood than by mere legal power and they further know that that is the only way to keep a man straight. . They know that the liquor act, «if passed, would create an army of per- jurers, smugglers and spies, and, fur- ther; could never be enforced, thus bringing about 'a disregard for the law, the effect of which would be ter- rible to even think about. Education, and not the passage of an impractic- able liquor act, is the remedy for the drink evil. Educate the man; show him the folly 'of drinking to excess; show him his own power and by a complete "system of education --teach him "to use it. "That is' the-solution of the drink question and not the enactment of a law that deprives him of a certain amount of personal liberty and that would be a blot on the statute book and disgrace to the country by reason of the fact that its provisions eould never be enforced. The miserable failure of the Scott Act is still remembered. . The liquor act is the same, only that it applies to the whole province. The experien- ces and bad results of the former, which led to its being repealed where ever passed, will be repeated - in the event of the passage of the liquor act. This seems to be generally under- stood by thinking men the province over, and accordingly the question, "Arc you iin favor of bringing into force the liquor act, 1902?" will next Thursday be answered by an empha tic "NO." see Vote No. Let every man work and work hard on election day and roll up a big "NO" vote.
