A stalk of corn, in a thick patch
of cane, will stretch up to an ab-
weed, in thick grass, reach up
after pure atmosphere.

above the weeds that infest our
streets and sidewalks.

Never judge a person by his
outward appearance. A shabby
old coat may enwrap a newspaper
publisher, while a man wearing a
high plug hat and sporting a
headed cane may be a delinquent
subscriber.—Waycross Journal.

What Whisky Costs.
An enterprising grocer, in a eircu-
JE
will come to my store and deposit
each day the 45 cents you pav for the
3 drinks you take daily in a bar room,
1 will furnish you by the gallon as
much and as good whiskey as \ out-
three drinks a day will amount to in
a year, and furnish in addition during
the year to your family, 5 barrels of
Hour, 100 pounds of granulated sugar,
100 pounds rice, 10 pounds coffee,
10 gallons syrup, 50 yards of calico,
3 pairs shoes, a $10 cloak for your
wife, and a $15 suit of clothes for
yourself.
Let us figure now ou this proposi¬
tion and see if the grocer would make
or lose money? In the 313 working
days, 3 drinks a day, at 15 cents each
would amount to $140.85 cash, the
" l '°oer would have in hand at the
end ‘>f the year.
u ta ’ r P p ‘ ce ^e flour, sugar.
rice, coffee, svrup, calico, shoes, cloak
and suit of clothes, the grocer prono¬
ses to furnish the family, would
amount to about $83.50, leaving in
his hands the sum of $57.35—$50
will buy 20 gallons of average whis-
key, these 20 gallons will make 960
drinks, with the liberal allowance of
6 drinks, to the pint. Three drinks
a day for 313 days would be 936
drinks, leaving 21 drinks for Sunday
morning toduies or Christmas egg
nog.
Yes, the gtocer could carry out his
contract and still hav $7,35 extra
profit on the supplies furnished the
familv.
The Old-Fashioned Girl.

morning when called, and we do not
suppose sir* had her hair done up in
curling papers ana crimping pins, or
bangeu over her forehead. She did
not grow into a you ns lady and talk
about her beau before she was in her
teen-, and she did not read dime
tioveis, nor was she fancying a hero
in every boy she met. The obi-fash¬
