J. L BRANCH. Chmn. A TEMPERANCE LECTURE. lie Wanted a l*k» tog rapt* to Itnnlnd Him of HIn l ook*. fluvlng nn engagement at his office at nn unusually early hour, Allen was hurrying in that direction when be was amazed to see his friend Walters stand ing in the doorway of a cheap photo graphic studio nervously rattling the handle of the locked door and tapping impatiently on the glass panel. Wal ters was in a condition that comes un der the heading of “unfit for publica tion." He w as In Ids evening clothes; his once shiny silk hat was milled and dented, necktie askew and overcoat rumpled. As Allen hailed him he turn ed a pair of bloodshot eyes and tried to smile. “What on earth are you doing here?" asked Allen in surprise. “Want to get my picture taken." said Walters gravely. "Picture taken? This hour? And In your condition—that is to say. without fixing up a bit? Don't be silly, man. Go home and get a little rest." And Alien tried to draw Walters in the di rection of a drug store. Walters wrenched himself free. "I know what I’m doing." he declar ed. “I want my picture taken—the big gest picture I can get too. And I pro pose to get it before I leave here." And, turning, he pouuded again at the photographer's door. Although Allen was in a hurry, he felt that he ought to stay l>y his friend, who seemed to Is* utterly irresponsible. He coaxed, begged and pleaded, but nil the satisfaction he got wus the state ment, "1 know' what I’m doing." Finally, as Allen showed no disposi tion to let him ulone, Walters braced himself against the door and said: "I was drunk last night, hopelessly and foolishly drunk, and I lopk und feel It. I’m all mussed up, got a head like a barrel and a throat like a fur nace. I’m dirty, disreputable and dizzy and feel like the back yanl of au east side tenement house. ‘^Thls is tiie secoud time I’ve been drunk in ten years. The first time it happened I wns with some friends, aud in the course of the end of our spree we invaded a photograph gallery and lind our pictures taken Just as we were. That picture was the best tem perance lecture I ever bad. I kept it framed in my room. In the morning as I went out It warned me not to drink during the day. At night it showed me plainly what I had avoided by not drinking. “There was a fire in the apartment next to me a few weeks ago, und tlie firemen hurst Into my place. They upset things generally and smashed my picture all to hits in hacking dowu tko mantelpiece to pet at the blaze. I lost my guardian angel, so to speak, but felt reasonably sure of myself. Last night I met some congenial 4 friends, and—well, I’m going to get an other picture taken If I wait here nil day." And Walters kicked savagely at the door, which this time was open ed by n sleepy looklug roan, who ush ered him Into the studio, w’hile Allen hurried away.—New York Press. Innrcmarr Hurry. You have promised, let us say. to call for a friend nt his office, so ns to go down Into the country together. He Is a stock broker, merchant, what you will. His place of business being ten min utes’ walk from the station, you call after business hours, about a quarter of an hour before the train starts. You find him cheerfully doing nothing un less n cigarette counts for work. He ab solutely declines to start yet. It Is too absurdly early. After five minutes you suggest departure. By no means will he move. It never takes him more than seven minutes at the utmost. Knowing his walking capacities, you doubt, but acquiesce. At last you are off. and halfway to the train he says: "By Jove, old man. we must hurry up. My watch is slow." So you run—igno- mlniously you run. If luck befriend you, you Just catch the moving train, and as you HinU perspiring and breath less Into your seat he says: "You see. we were in plenty of time. Never missed a train In my life." Plenty of time, indeed! And all this hurry for nothing. If he liml been doing any thing—had a letter to write or the like— In tlioso wasted eight minutes, you could forgive him, hut ho hadn't, or nt nil events he didn’t. You mop your brow and. though he is your very good friend, remember with complacency that this “just" catching trains leads to runny coroner's Inquests.—London Sat urday Review. Cemetery Notice.

Do suinething for somebody, ami do It now. Thinking well doesn't count unless you net well. Don't follow In the footsteps of your competitors. Set the pace. Life is not worth living unless you live for the good you can do. There are times when an ounce of In genuity discounts a ton of energy. The more sunshine there is in sumo metis Jives the loss hay they make. No man ever got a pain In his hack from carrying his neighbor's burden. Muny of our anticipated pleasures are anything hut pleasures after wo get them. Some men arc able to bear misfor tunes and some others have sense enough to avoid them. Only a mother can distinguish be tween the mischievousness of her boy and the badness of tho hoy next door. —C’hlcngo Nows. Kenn'a l.o»e Drama. There was little that was romantic In the first meeting of Kean, the great tragedlun, and the woman who was to bear his numo. It wag ou tho stage of the Cheltenham theater that Charles Kean and Miss Chambers, a pretty young actress, first saw each other. "Who Is that shabby little man with the brilliant eyes?" Miss Chambers asked In the hearing of the king of the stage. “Aud who." Ivenn retorted by asking aloud. “Is that odd little wo man?" From this singularly Inaus picious opening Keau's love drama proceeded so swiftly that before a month hnd gone the curtalu was rung down at the altar. Tlir liana. The first mention of the Huns in his tory Is In China, B. C. 210. They con quered that country and wore after ward driven out by the Celestials and marched clear across Asia, penetrating tile country now known ns Hungary In 370 A. 1». For a time they threatened to overrun the whole of the continent, but were defeated lu the heart of France and driven back to the banks of the Dauube. Sincerity. The only conclusive evidence of a ■nan's sincerity Is that he gives himself for a principle. Words, money, all things else, are comparatively easy to give away, hut when a man makes a gift of his dally life and practice it Is plulu that the truth, whatever It may be. has possession of him.—James Rus sell Lowell. She'd Keep II. "But can you keep house?” he asked doubtfully, for he was. above nil things, a practical man. "If you get a house and put It In my name," she replied promptly, "I'll keep It all right enough." Matters being thus satisfactorily set tled, their engagement was announced. —Judge. Good Reason. Traveler (to volet)—That's a rather large statue. Put. Pat—Yes, sor. They tell me the hand Is eleven Inches wide. Traveler—I wonder why they didn’t make it twelve Inches? Pat—Because they didn't want to make it Into n foot. —London Mall. Juat the One For Him. Howell—I proposed to n girl last night and was rejected. Powell—You ought to try her uguln. A girl ns sensi ble as that would make you a good wife.—New York Press. A find Cnse. "What’s the matter, dear?" asked the doctor’s wife. "Are you worried about Mr. Poorley’s case?” "Yes,” replied the doctor. “And is there no hope?" "Very little.
