you want it to go, as you would a
steer, by twisting its tail. The rea-
son is obvious. A comet does not
use its tall to shoo the files away,
because there are no files on a comet,
even when it gets near the Milky
Way. Several million persons have
recently suggested In print and else-
where that a comet may be caught
by putting*sait on its tail, but no-
body has done it because nobody
seems to want to catch a comet and
wouldn't know what to do with it if
they did catch it. Besides, it may be
a joke to say that.
However, a comet's tail is no short
story and cannot al! be told In one
writing.
P.S. We do not believe any editor
in this country would have space to
print a comet's tail, anyhow.—W. J

"THE SOUTH IS GOING "DiRY."
The- towns and cities where Intoxi-
cating liquors can be legally sold at
mall in the South aire few and far
between. New Orleans, Louisville,
Ctelvewton, Houston. Baltimore antf
tlde-T.aier Virginia together with a
few smaller places are practically
the only "wet" sections left In
"Dixie."
Jn the fifteen states south of the
Uiason and Dixon's line, there are
1323 counties. Of these, 1M5 are
"dTy," while only 210 have one or
more saloons. It is also a significant
fact that the total number of saloons
now in operation In all sections of
the South is only about 6500, while
the number of saloons in the single
city of Chicago is over 7000.
The 210 "wet" counties of "Dixie,"
however, do not in spollty show the
relative proportion of territory under
Saloon rule, for large sections of
the&e "wet" counties are "dry" and
In many cases the saloon territory is
limited to a single town or city. Tho
teal proportion ot "wet" and "dry''
terroltory ia better shown in square
miles. There are 860,000 square
miles in these fifteen states; 760,000
Square miles are under no-license.

proportion of "wet", and "dry" terrl
tint? In the Sowtti is almost eight to

Judge Geo. Clark of Waco once the
Warwic of Texas democracy and now
the leading exponent of the whisky
trust in this state, introduced Judge
Polndexter "the only prohibition can-
didate for governor in the race," at
Waoo Tuesday night. Judge Clark is
the author of the doctrine that statu-
tory prohibition is unconstitutional.
Judge Polndexter is the leading apos-
tle of the heresy, so there was noth-
ing wrong or out of place in the one
ntroducing the other.
Cone Johnson spoke to the great-
est audience which ever assembled
at the city hall in Fort Worth Tuea^
day night. Some time ago Judge
Polndexter spoke in the same city to
150 people at which speaking the
udge said In reply to Johnson's chal-
lenge to a joint debate on statutory
prohibition as a reason for declining
the challenge that he was not fur-
nishing crowds for Johnson.
SAP TO THE SOUTH.
More Than $700,000 Appropriated for
General and Agricultural Edu-
cation.
New York, May 26—Appropriations
of more than $700,000 were made by
the general education board for the
endowment of the work of various
colleges and for agricultural work in
the South.
The sum of $113,000 was approprlat
ed for demonstration work in agrl
culture in the South, under the su
pervlsion of Dr. Seaman A. Knapp of
the United 'States department of ag-
