And Woes it Makes for People, wet and Otherwise He had Awful " Cramps. .; The dry town experiment is near ly a week old now. The people who are having the - most exper ience under the new order, are the drug stores. A campaign pre diction was that if saloons were closed the druggists would continue to sell wet goods and. in conse quence some of those who feel the need of a drop on one ; account or another, go to the drug men for it. The applications are not numerous but each of the three stores is hav ing it's experiences, It is gener ally a case of cramps that is set forth to the drug clerk as the rea son for the application. A case Thursday is typical of all. He was a stranger m town. As he passed up street, it was appar ent that he was looking for some thing. He was well dressed and well kept, and the group across the street'guessed with each other as to what he was looking for. "Told you so," said one, as the stranger tried the door at what used to be -Wuestfelf s saloon, be fore the town went dry. The door didn't yield, and the stranger pass ed to the window and looked inside. Then he turned around, 'and looked troubled as his eye swept up and down the other side of the street. Presently, he espied the gold sign at Graham & Wortham's. , It didn't take him long to get across the street, and a smile played around his mouth as he, entered the door. "I have a bad attack of cramps; give me some brandy, quick," he said to the clerk. 'Can' t do it ; this is a dry town, and we are not allowed to dispose of intoxicants, save on a doctor's prescription." "Well, I'll be d -d." Amaied, and in fact, almost : transfixed, the stranger stood for a second, rooted to the spot. , then inquired if there was another drug store.''. The other two stores were point ed out to him. He headed for Graham & Wells, and " Joe Under wood was the clerk he encountered. Joe is a prohibitionist, and natur ally enough the statement' of the caller's case did not -move him to tears. "Can't' let "you liave it: this is a dry town." It was some-, thing of a glare that shot from the stranger's eye as he listened to Un derwood's explanation. He was silent for a second just a second. (Then he ripped ' out,-' : "well d -s' your town. This is the first trine was ever in it, and it will be my last." . ; It is certain that nobody can get liquor at the- drug stores without a prescription from a physician. Ev en the highest and mightiest citi zen will have to go thirsty if he re lies on a supply from that source for at each of-the stores the demand for the prescription is the first re sponse to the request for fire water. At the same time the doctors are very particular about giving out prescriptions. The law is so strict that a physician cannot give a pre scription unless the party to whom it is given be actually sick and in need of the intoxicant, to all of which the physician must certify. One physician had an application: for a prescription on the "cramp" theory, and was about to supply it until he read the law, when he re fused to do so. The result- was a sore disappointment to an- old citi zen, who had failed to provide him self with a : supply before" things went dry, and in consequence had not had. a drink for several days. It may be imagined that a tear almost welled up in the old man's eye when the doctor had to finally say "no." The account is that there is hard ly an empty demijohn, flask or oth er vessel dedicated to beverages, in'the town.-" They are all said to have been filled and stored away in cellars, garrets and other places before the change came. Large as is the hoard- those who have it stored are said to husband it as care fully and jealously as though it might be the last they are to have. Judge Greff oz got perhaps in the hardest straits- of anybody on ac count of the "drouth. It is this way: The judge uses an alcohol lamp in his business. His stock gave out and he went to a drug store for . a supply. ' 'You can' t have it," was the unexpected reply to the Judge's request. : ;t They got down the law, and "the more they poured over itj the more it lookedas though the judge must go without. The Judge wanted it for "mechan ical purposes" and the law used the word ' 'manufacturing pur poses" and a strict construction settled the- fact- that he couldn't have, and didn't get, alcohol for his lamp. - .
