Tim higgins After His Honeymoon,

Seems to me things have changed some
what Seems to, me so-bust me if it
don't I've been married near six months
now, and the fact is Susan showed the
least bit more temper than | thought she
had !; in fact to speak the right down
truth, she's knocked things about generally
for the last two months. She's sIung the
cat through the window by the tail, and
would have thrown me out by the heels if
| hadn't walked out on fast run.
She's got cross as four sticks, and says
she'll use half dozen sticks on my back
if don't quit smoking in the house.
And she threatened to throw the boot
Jack down my throat last night because |
spit in the fire. If she'd done that sup
pose I'd have had the colo or the boot
jack Cramp
"Timothy ?. higgins" says [ to my
self, says "you've gone and done it,
and you have got to put up with the con-
sequences, you have, come what will, you
can't git out of 1t, you can't.
A girl loses her beauty mighty quick
after she gets to be Mrs. Susan Sun
flower was as pretty as venus, but just
as soon as | married her, her skin turned
yellow, her eyes lost their beauty, and,
oh what a temper she has got Never
knowed her mad before | married her ;
never knowed her to offer to throw the
stove or a chair down anybody's throat ;
no, never till she was Mrs. higgins Aunt
says she'll come out all right after while :;
but l don't see why she can't be all right
now, | don't If she don't improve soon
the Lord help me
"Jst you spit in that fire agin," says
she to me yesterday, ''iist dc it agin, and
Pll throw this stick of wood down your
throat. What did marry you for ? To
run around after you and make up the
fire after you spit it out? You tormented

For BooTs.--During this ''snowy !"
term, a recipe for dry boots is q disidera-
tum. Here is one said to be worth a
mint Of money to ward off colds and
consumption. 1t consists of four arti-
cles-tal'ow, SOAP resin, and water.
These ingredients are as follows :
Twenty parts of tallow are melted
in vessel, three parts of resin aided,
and the two, when melted, mixed well
together. In another vessel, seven
parts Of good washing soap are dis
solved in seventy parts Of pure rain
water. After it is Dissolved, and the
mass heated to a boiling point, add the
part prepared before; let it boil once
more gently, and the preparation is
ready for use. 1t is specially adapted
to boots, harness, aud leather betting.

The Temperance Movement at WASH
an-IOn.

The Congressional National Temper
arnce Society, now being organized,
bids fair to be the beginning OF an i'm
portant movement. Last winter when
Congress prohibited the sale ri intoxi-
eating driukSin the Capitol, it removed
national disgrace for which it deserv-
ed much credit, but it is hardly proba-
Bile that the actual amount of wines
and i.quorS used in Washington was
materially iessened thereby. BuG the
organization now being formed has the
promise of practical results. The first
call had ouiy n few signers, but the
movement is becoming general. This
State was well represented from the
first, but now all the Illinois me,nbers
of Congress, including both Senators,
haved signed their names to the call.
The spirit of Father Matthew, like that
of John Brown, is marching on.
Ii is to be hoped that Andrew John
son ami General Grant will both lend
their influence to this second Washing
tonian reform. mad 1t no. been for a
temperance reformation, the greatest
of living Generals would never have
been known to fame; while, in the
opinion of many, Mr.. Johnson would
have spared himself and the country
much OF the Executive disgrace of the
past year had he been temperance
man. He once said to Il fellow Senator:
would gladly be tailor again, if
that would cure me of this cursed
thirst We may, therefore, confident
ly expect that both the President and
the General will cooperate, especially
the latter, in this movement.
1t would seem4hat one of the objects
OF the organization will be to bring an
influence to bear in favor of State tenn
perance legislation. That something
can be done through legislative means
towards the suppression of intemper-
ance is true, as experience has shown;
but experience has also shown that
prohibitory laws are poweriess unless
they have the sanction of public sensi-
ment. 1t is not at all uncommon to
find the traffic carried on with perfect
impuai.y right in the face of most
stringent Maine law" In Massachu-
sets, the State coustabulary s"stem is
reported to be working well, but that is
because it has popular support. All
enactment5, from sumptuary to criminal,
must have such support, or they will
be of no avail. The Washingtoniau
reform of 1912 accomplished more than
any-we might almost say ali-subse-
Guent temperance movements; and it
Is fact worthy of note that in that
moral uprising of the people 10 reliance
was placed upon legal restraints. 1t
would not be just to draw from this the
Inference that no benefit can be derived
from a juiicious temperance law, but it
is quite certain that the lesson of ex-
perience points to the danger of too
great trust in that agency.
