Atom remarked:

"And wherefore g. asked Molecule.
Because" said Atom, sit is the last

''The veto makes me think of the land

than the BILL"
"I, makes me think of the soup" inter-

The thin man shook his head.
'Because it gives no quarter?' suggested
Atom, and then Immediately ruled himself

The longer l live the more do I become
satisfied shat nothing is so good for the
people who are in deep trouble as real
hard work-work that no: only occupies
the hands but the brain; work on which
one !avishes the best part Of the heart. I
know it requires great deal of resolution
to break away from the apathy Of deep
sorrow or a heavy trouble and resolutely
to put ones hand to the new or long dis
used pow; but the effort once made, if
there is anything in the individual, he or
she will never turn back Aud after
work, real work, work with the hands,
head and heart-after this will come
trust, and with trust will come peace

MAKING WH1sKEY ON THE OH1o PLAY.
-"Whiskey sold in Cincinnati yesterday
at price which yielded the manufacturers
ten cents gallon clear Of the government
tax. That price would barely pay for the
corn consumed at the market price, leav-
ing nothing for handling the grain, moth
ing for labor, and nothing for rent, wear
and tear Of apparatus, or interest on capi.
tai invested. In continuing the manufac'
ture under such discouraging circumstan-
ces, the Cincinnati whiskey men are
actuated purely by public spirit. They
know the government needs revenue. and
they make whiskey at heavy loss in or.
der that they may have pretext for sup
plying the governments pecuniary wants,
The idea that there may be anything
crooked in the process, aud that the
treasury does not get the full tax, is not to
be entertained for moment. The inter.
nal revenue bureau has long been convin
ced that the Cincinnati whiskey men are
the straightest in the coantry-that there
is no more crookedness about them, in fact
that there is about-say Pekin or Peoria,
for instance, and the present price is con.
vincing proof that the bareau must be
right. - Chicago Z Tines.
