Those Good Brewers.
Collier’s Weekly.
Tho brewers of Ohio are making an
apparent effort to be good. They also
are enemies of the dive; their chief
agent is at present noting and desig
nating with his eyes the places which
are so unworthy in their character that
they must be slaughtered. Never be
fore has any "liquor interest” heeded
public clamor. There has been much
talk at conventions about "an improved
business,” but no action. Had the re-
tail or the wholesale dealers, the dis
tillers or the brewers, taken a more
conciliatory attitude, the prohibition
wave would have been at least longer
in arriving. Their attitude has been
defiant, unreasoning. Did a communi
ty start to combat dives along its wa
ter front? Immediately it had to fight
not only all the saloon-keepers of the
region, but brewers, and wholesale dis
tillers. What matter that such places
were headquarters for ruining girls!
The process of ruin was good for trade;
to one girl, eight glasses of beer or a
pint of whiskey. A community which
did not want prohibition in the begin
ning would try every means of regula
tion. Beaten at every turn by the li
quor interests and their followers in
politics it would slowly be convinced
that there was no way to fight the com
bination ; outraged, it would rise and
destroy the traffic. The liquor men have
brought the trouble on themselves ; and,
although the Ohio'plan is a little like
locking the stable door too late, it
seems to be the best play which the
brewers have left.
Sweethearts and Eyes.
New York Preaa.
The group of friends stood admiring
ly before the latest picture by a well-
known illustrator which ornamented
the wall of the bachelor girl. It repre
sented an exceedingly athletic young
man in the act of engulfing a fluffy-
ruflled young lady and imprinting a
passionate salute upon her upturned
lips.
The young Indies gushed over it with
enthusiasm, while the men agreed that
it was very life-like.
"There is one serious defect in the
picture,” announced the bachelor girl,
after the first outburst. "The artist
has made one serious mistake at which
I am surprised. Can anyone pick it
out?”
All agreed that it seemed perfect.
"Don’t you see that the girl’s eyes
are open?” said the bachelor girl.
‘What girl, I ask you, ever received a
real kiss, such as is portrayed here,
with her eyes not blissfully closed? A
woman always closes her eyes when
she is kissed by the man she is fond
of.”
The women all agreed that the criti
cism was true, and said how strange it
was they hadn’t noticed it. The men
glanced at ench other with looks which
admitted their own stupidity.
"Now, as to whether the man’s eyes
ought to be closed, I don’t know, as I
have never noticed.” And then the
bachelor girl was suddenly overcome
with confusion as a chorus of delighted
shrieks and shouts arose from the as
semblage present.

Putting His Logic to Practical Test
Jud?e.
The old couple were eating their first
meal with their son after his return
from college.
“Tell us, John,” said the father,
“what have you learned at college?” •
"Oh, lots of things,” said the son, as
he recited his course of studies.
“Then,” he concluded, "I also studied
logic.”
"Logic,” said the old man; "what is
that?”
“It’s the art of reasoning,” said the
3on.
"The art of reasoning?” said the
father. "What is that, my boy?”
"WeD,” replied the son, “let me
give you a demonstration. How many
chickens are on that dish, father?”
“Two,” said the old man.
"Well,” said he, "I can prove there
are three.” Then he stuck his fork in
one and said, "That is one, isn’t it?”
“Yes,” said the father, interested.
"And this is two?” sticking his fork
in the second.
"Yes,” said the farmer again.
"Well, don’t one and two make
three?” replied John triumphantly.
"Well, I declare,” said the father;
"you have learned things at college.
Well, mother,” continued the old man
to his wife, "I v/ill give you one of the
chickens to eat and I’ll take the other,
and John can have the third. How is
that, John?”

Youth’s Companion.
A small boy was asked to take din
ner at the home of a distinguished pro
fessor in Princeton. The lad’s mother,
in fear lest he should commit some
breach of etiquette, carefully coached
him as to what he should and should
not do.
Upon his return from the great occa
sion the mother’s first question was,
"Harold, did you get along at the ta
ble all right?”
"Oh, yes, mamma, well enough.”
"You are sure you didn’t do anything
that was not perfectly polite and gen
tlemanly?”
“Why, no—nothing to speak of—’
“Then something did happen. W’hat
was it?”
"But I fixed it all right, mamma.
“Tell me at once.”
“Why, I got along pretty well, until
the meat came, but while I was trying
to cut mine it slipped off on to the
floor. But I made it all right.”
“What did you do?”
"Oh, I just said, sort of carelessly,
‘That’s always the way with tough
meat.’ ”
True to Their Georgia Raising.
Washington (D. C.) Herald.
One of the most popular Representa
tives in the House is William Charles
Adamson of Georgia. His district ad
joins that represerfted by Gordon Lee.
Recently press of business called Mr.
Adamson to Georgia. At the same time
he had several matters pending
Washington, which he was obliged to
leave unfinished. Going to Represen
tative Lee, he asked him if he (Lee)
would kindly look after things for him
while away.
Representative Lee said he would,
provided he (Adamson) would bring
back with him a mess of turnip greens
and corn bread. Representative Ad
am in assented.
Time passed and the Judge returned
Calling Lee to the cloak-room, he
thanked him for attending to the busi
ness, and told him that he had brought
the turnip greens and corn bread,
requested.
Mr. Lee had forgotten the request
but, sure enough, there they were—two
sacks of greens and a box of corn bread
The greens were carried to the
House restaurant, where they were
cooked in the highest style of the art
and the two Georgia Representative
enjoyed a square meal.
Not a Professor.
Success Magaxtne.
Representative Lorimer, of Chicago
who is a great walker, was recently
out for a tramp along the conduit road
leading from Washington, when, after
going a few miles, he Hat down to rest
"Want a lift, mister?” asked a good
natured Maryland farmer driving that
way.
"Thank you,” responded Mr. Lori
mer, "I will avail myself of your kind
offer.”
The two rode in silence for a while
Presently the teamster asked :
"Professional man?”
"Yes,” answered Lorimer, who was
thinking of a bill he had pending be
fore the House.
After another long pause, the farmer
observed:
"Say, you ain’t a lawyer or you’d be
talkin’; you ain’t a doctor, ’cause you
ain’t got no satchel, and you shore ain’t
a preacher from the looks of you. What
is your profession, anyhow?”
"I am a politician,” replied Lorimer
The Marylander gave a snort of dis
gust. "Politics ain’t no profession
politics is a disorder.”
His Appendix.
New York Letter to Pittsbun? Dispatch.
The man behind the desk in the ho
tels sees and hears many funny things
about guests that would make good
ending, but it is only occasionally that
he finds time to tell them to his news-
aper acquaintances.
"See that man over there,” said a
hotel clerk. "That is John H. Patti-
son, a manufacturer of Dayton, Ohio,
man from the Buckeye Stgte told me
story about him the other day. He
said Mr. Pattisonl noticed his clerks
icked ginger, and, patterning after
President Roosevelt, he bought a num
ber of horses and ordered them to get
the saddle and shake themselves.
One of the clerks who had never put
his leg over a horse’s back got ner-
ous prostration when he heard of the
der, so he consulted a physician,
who gave him a certificate that he was
threatened with appendicitis and that
it would be fatal for him to ride horse
back. The certificate was presented
to Mr. Pattison. Now. that clerk is
sorry he presented it, for the manu
facturer ordered him to tuke a month’s
rest. ‘Go to the hospital and have
your appendix cut out and send it to
me with the bill.’ The clerk had to
make good.”
A Philadelphia physician says that
not long ago he was called to soe an
Irishman, and among other directions
told him to take an ounce of whiskey
three times a day. A day or so later
he made another visit and 'found the
man, while not Hick, undeniably drunk.
‘How did this happen?” the physi
cian demanded of Pat’s wife, who was
hovering about solicitously.
"Sure, dochter, an’ ’tis just what
you ordered, an’ no more, that he had,”
she protested. •
I said one ounce of whiskey!'three
times a day; that could not make him
drunk,” the physician said. "He has
had much more than that.”
Divil a drop more, docther, dear,”
she declared. "Sure an’ Oi didn’t know
just how much an ounce was, so Oi
wint to the drug store an’ asked, an’
the lad—he’s a broth of a boy, too
told me that an ounce was sixteen
drams, and Pat has had thim regular,
no more 1”
Mr. Wm. H. Anderson, M. D., of

coughs and colds where all other reme
dies failed. Its gentle laxative effects
especially recommend it for children.
It is pleasant to take. For coughs,
colds, hoarseness, whooping-cough.

A policeman saw a man acting rath
er suspiciously near a jewelry store in
Germantown one evening, so, going
over to him, he demanded to know who
he was and what he wanted.
"I am thinking of opening a Jewelry
store in this neighborhood,” replied
the man, "arid I’m watching to see if
there is much trade.”
The policeman went on his way sat
isfied. Next morning word was received
at the station house that the jewerly
store had been entered and robbed
during the night. The policeman who
had accosted the stranger said reflec
tively:
"He msy be a thafe, but he's no
liar.”

Not ’Spectable.
It was a small town in the Sunny
South. A lyceum entertainment was
billed for the evening, and as a magi
cian and sleight-of-hand performer
was advertised as one of the principal
features an old colored woman pre
sented herself at the door of the local
opera house early, insisted on a seat in
the front row of the part reserved for
colored folk, and got it.
When the magician appeared he
first placed a piece of red flannel over
a newspaper and read the news through
the flannel. The old colored mammy
began to squirm about. Then the
magician doubled the flannel and read
the paper through the double thickness.
The old mammy was heard to say to
her neighbor;
"Lor’, chile, I got to git out o’ dis.”
Her neighbor reassured her, telling
her the magician wouldn’t hurt her.
"I knows dat,” she said, "but dis
ain’t no place for a ’spectnble cullud
lady wif only a calico dress on.”
A New York fireman, while re
sponding to an alarm Saturday, saw
just ahead of his flying horses a num
ber of children who had just been dis
missed from a near-by school. It was
mpossible to check the horses, which
were drawing a heavy steamer, but
without a moment’s hesitation the fire
man pulled his team into a heavy iron
fence. The animals were killed, and
the driver barely escaped death. He
was picked up in an unconscious con
dition. New York should be prouder
of having men like that in her employ
than in the possession of the greatest
fire department in the world.—Albany

THE PERFECT WAY.
A teacher in one of the primary
grades of the public school had noticed
a striking platonic friendship that ex
isted between Tommy and little Mary
two of her pupils.
Tommy was a bright enough young
ster, but he wasn’t disposed to prose
cute his studies with much of a ven
geance, and his teacher saw that un
less he got a hustle on him before the
end of the year he wouldn’t be pro
moted.
“You must study harder,” she told
him, "or else you won’t pass. How
would you like to stay back in this
grade another year and have little
Mary go ahead of you?”
Aw,” says Tommy, in a bass tone,
“I gusss there’ll be other little
Marys.”
Gen. Booth, on his visit here,” said
a supporter of the Salvation Army
condemned the modern ChristmaH
spirit. He said it wus too much a spir
it of garb.
He illustrated his meaning with the
help of a small boy.
Meeting this boy one Chriitmas
morning Gen. Booth patted him on the
head and said :
' 'Well, my son, how did you fare
this-Christmas?’
‘ ‘Fine,’ the boy replied. ‘I done
better’n all my brothers an’ sisters put
together. ’
‘ ‘How did that happen?’ asked the
General.
' ‘I got up three hours before they
did,’ said the boy.”
The story is told of an actor, popu
lar with the matinee girls, who is be
set by the fear of being thought older
than he is.
The last time this player was inter
viewed it was by a young woman re
porter for one of the dailies. She
wished to get his views touching the
condition of the drama, a subject the
actor was not particularly desirous of
discussing.
"I am not suro,” sfllrJ the young wo
man, laughingly, "whether I’m really
finding out what you think. You
ought to be frank, for your eyes are
gray, and—”
"Prematurely so, I assure you, my
dear young lady,” the player hastened
to interject.

A. D. Hulsey, living on Tanner St.,
Carrollton, Ga., says: "I shall never
be able to speak too strongly in favor
of Doan’s kidney Pills. Five years
ago they completely cured me of kid
ney trouble, which had troubled me for
fifteen years. I suffered from terrible
pains through my back, and was in a
miserable condition. The kidney secre
tions at first were too frequent, and
especially at night, and for a while
they were unnatural in appearance and
scanty in How. Doan’s Kidney Pills
eliminated every symptom of the dis
tressing trouble and I keep this reme
dy on hand at all times. The use of one
or two doses now and then has kept my
kidneys in an active and healthy condi
tion for over five years. ”
