A gentleman in jefferson City vino was
troubled with bed bugs soaked the bed With
kerosene and turned in, leaving the light

of resolutions, condemning him for using
kerosene, he was awakened by a fireman
pointing the nozzle of hose through the

EXPENSIVE LUXURY. If whisky is luxury,
it is very expensive one. By whisky we
mean, of course, all intoxicating liquors.
From late report of the Bureau of Stats
ties we learn that the annual product of
whisky in this country, according to the re-
turns that are made to the Government,
to 62,500.000 gallons, representing valua-
ton of 1915, 100000 OF fermented liquors
the annual product is 630O, 900 barrels, val
ued at Sl26, 900, 900. Besides this domestic
product the value of imported liquors reaches
the sum of 500, 100000, making grand to-
tai of S601, 900, 900, or nearly one-third of
our National debt. And this valuation, il
must be recollected, is the wholesale price.
When we take into account that by the time
it reaches the consumer at least two hundred
per cent. profit is added, we get an approx
nation of the enormous cost of spirituous
beverages to our people. This would give
us an aggregate of Sl8,000,000 per annum
for this luxury Oakland Ne,cs.

The Follic. of American Women i'm pnrrs

In treating of the politics of women 10
would hardly be possible thing TO ignore
the hegira of American women in Paris du-
ring the last twelve years. To gain Paris
has been the end and aim of the ambitious
dreams of many of our infatuated country
women. 1t has been to them what riding in
cart was to lilly Slowboy-"the summit of
human happiness, the highest pinnacle of
earthly hopes" And once there, throwing
appearances to the winds, these husbandless
wives led career much more Partisan than
that of the Parisians themselves, paying lit
tie heed to the ccnrondnces, which are almost
always regarded by European women. To
be admired by the Emperor was a matter of
boast to be talked about became great
earthly good. Three American women, whose
names are so we'll known that they would be
Immediately called in every club and in eve
ry parlor in New York, have European in
fanny in this way, and unfortunately their
example spread, for they were all handsome
and gifted. They brought beautiful dresses
for their friends at home-they were much
courted by the more decent Americans, very
glad to be admitted to the Tuileries, even by
the backstairs.
The curtain has fallen on unhappy Paris,
whose follies were those of the Russians and
Americans far more than Of her own and
one at least of these poor butterflies, the most
brilliant of all, has been crushed on fortunes
wheel. What has become of the others
What will be their fate, what their old age
when the poor glory of being the "Empe-
ror's favorite" is taken away, and when
beauty goes and only the memory of folly re-
mains
Yet the story is as old as Messalina, as
Theodore, as Herodas. Women will dance
before kings, and they will worship false
gods. They will mistake notoriety for fame,
and will linger in the glitter of fictitious
brilliancy till some dreadful specter of q gray
hair or lost charm tells them that they have
eaten of Dead Sea apples.

THE CHRONICLE.
THE THREE LITTLR CHAIRS.

They sat alone by the bright wood fire,
The gray-haired dame and the aged sire,
Dreaming OF days gone by,
The tear-drops fell on each Wrinkled cheek,
They both had thoughts they could not speak
And each heart uttered sigh.
For their sad and fearful eyes decried
Three little chairs placed aide by side
Against the sitting room wall.
Old-fashioned enough as there they stood,
Their seats OF nag and their frames OF wood,
With their backs 80 straight and tall.
Then the old sire shook his sIlvery head,
And with trembling voice he gently said:
Mother, those empty chairsl
They bring us such sad, sad thoughts to-
night,
Wen put them forever out OF sight,
In the small dark room up stairs"
But she answered, Father, no, not yet;
For look at them and forget
That the children are away;
The bows come back, and cur Mary, too,
with her apron on, Of checkered blue
And sit here every day.
.,Tobnnv still whittles a ships tail mast,
And Willie his leaden bullet casts,
While Mary her patch work sews;
Atevening time three childish prayers
GO up 70 God from those little chairs,
So softty that no one knows.
HJohppv comes back from the biIlowy deep,
Willie wakes from his battlefield sleep,
To say goodnight 10 me;
But a tired child whose playtime is o'er,
And comes TO rest on my knee.
so let them stand there. though empty
And every time when alone we bow
At the Fathers throne % pray,
Wen ask to meet the children above.
In our Savior's homeof rest and love,
Where no child goeth away"

Seventy Years AgO--HOW Our States
men Travelled in the Olden Times.
From the Atlantic Era.l
The oldest statesmen of the West
and Southwest used TO take horses
from their homes when they started
for Washington, and the journey, gen
orally at the Indictment season, con-
sumed agOnizing weeks. John Ran
dOlph rode from Roanoke, followed
by the inevitable Juba; Jefferson came
in on his favOFite mare, clad after his
own private fashion. Andrew Jack
son, who was a Senator in Congress
seventy-two years ago, reached New
York and Philadelphia after a tire
some journey, and Henry Clay often
made the distance on horseback from
Ashland twelve years later, and liked
to march down the aisle Of the House,
when he was Speaker, spurred and
booted, riding whip in hand. John
Adams letter to his wife describing
his experience from Boston to Wash
ingtOn at the beginning of the CEN
tuTy, reads like page from Gil Bias
or Don QuixOte. Nobody gets to
Washington now after this fashion,
The steed Of iron and steel has sup
planted horse flesh, and flies through
hills and across deserts, over streams
and prairies, with twice the number
Of both Houses Of Congress tied to its
fiery tail. The trip that took Alexan-
der Hamilton two weeks from New
York, when he went to visit Wash
1ngtOn at Mount Vernon, Is now made
by Governor FentOn asleep in his bed
as COW as IL IL had been made for q
king. The South and West now get
to Washington dressed and refreshed
as If for bridal Space is almost an
initiated. Time is condensed from
weeks to days, and from hours to
minutes and men only stop to ask
each other: If this is the contrast
between 1900 and 1871, what will be
the contrast between 1900 and 1871 90

Moral Courage.

Have the courage to face difficulty,
lest 1t kick you harder than you bar
gained for. Difficulties like thieves
often disappear at a glance. Have
courage to leave a eonvivial party at
the proper hour for doing so, however
great the sacrifice and to stay away
from one upon the slightest grounds
for objection, however great the temp
tatiOn to go. Have the courage to do
without that which you do not need,
however much you may admire it.
Have the courage to speak your mind
when il is necessary that you should
do so, and hold your tongue when It
is better you should be silent Have
the courage to speak to q poor friend
in q seedy coat, even in the street,
and when a rich one is nigh. The
effort is less than many people take it
TO be, and the act is worthy Of aking.
Have the courage to admit that you
have been in the wrong, and you viii
remove the fact in the mind Of others,
putting q desirable impression in the
place Of an unfayOrable one. Have
the courage to adhere to the first resO-
luton when you cannot change Ii for
better, and to abandon It at the elsv-
enth hour upon conviction. Have the
courage to cut the most agreeable &C.
quintanee you possess, when he con-
vinees you that he lacks principle.
IA friend should bear with a friends
infirmitiesD-nOt vices.

HOME MANNERS.

Young folks should be mannerly.
How to be so is the question. Many
q good girl and boy feel that they can
not behave TO suit themselves in the
presence Of company. They feel tim
id, bashful, and self distrustful the
moment they are addressed by q
stranger or appear in company
There is but one way to get over this
feeling and acquire easy and grace
full manners-that is to do the best
they can all the time at home, as well
as abroad. Good manners are not
from arbitrary teaching so much as
acquired by habit. They grow upon
US by use. We must be courteous,
agreeable, civil, kind, gentlemaply,
and wOmanly at home, and then it
will soon become q kind Of second
nature to be so everywhere. A coarse,
rough manner at home, begets habit
of rOughness, which we cannot lay of
if we try, when we go among strang-
ers. The most agreeable people we
have ever known in company are
those that are perfectly agreeable at
home. Home is the school for all good
things, especially for good manners.
