A Temperance Drink.

Among the thirsty ones yesterday
hunting up and down Woodward avcrue
for something to qnench thirst was q
man in rusty black, who entered drug
store and softly inquired:
"Rave you a temperance drink?
"Two or three of 'em. Will you take
soda water or ginger ale ?''
"Well, now, our society does not re-
gard either of those as @ strictly temper
ance drink Both are assocrtel with
stronger liquors.
"How would root beer anewer?''
Suspicious - suspicious WAS the
whispered reply.
"Ah! I've got it now!'
"Ah!"
"I con give you straight temperance
drink as cool as ice, but it comes high. y
"How much %
"Ten cents glass;
every WE'LL" said the old man, as he
put down his dime.
The druggist was absent only Il miu
ute and then returned and placed a glass
of liquid before him. The old man
drank half of it, smacked his lips aid
asked:
"May I ask what you call it?'
Certainly; it is called water. | just
drew it from the hydrant.'
The excursionist set the glass down
much harder than he needed to, but
toned his coat, and with & glance meant
to reduce the druggists weight to 1870
pounds in five seconds, marched out as
stiff as q bean-pole, and crossed the
street after lemonade favored with
pepperment essence.

An Esquimaux Baby.

Several canoe-loads of Esquimaux
came aboard while we lay here. scme Of
the women bringing their little boys,
girls and babies, without seeming TO
heed the weather. One little thing that
the proud mother held up for in insrcc-
tion smiled delightfully."-, exposing hc:'
two precious teeth. No happier baby
could be found in warm parlors with all
that the looms in the world can afford i'll
the way of soft fabrics and with loving
attendants to anticipate every want. She
looked gayly out at the strange colols
about her from her bit of fur bag, and
when she fell asleep her mother laid her
upon three oars that were set side by
side across the canoe, the snowfakes
falling in her face, yet she slept sound]y
for hours while watched her, and size
never cried. All the youngsters had to
get piece of bread which both fathers
and mothers begged for them, saying:
"He little fellow, he little fellow"
These people interest me gre:;t]y, and it
is worth coming far to know them, how
ever slightly. The smile, OR rather
broad, small grin Of that Esquunaux
baby goes direct to ones heart, and is
not likely to be forgotten. When the
features had subsided into perfect re-
pose. the laugh gone from its eyes, aud
the lips closed over lis two teeth could
make its sweet smile bloom out again as
often as I nodded aud chjrvuptd 10 it.
Heayep bless it

A Duel in the Clouds,

One Of the most extraordinary dlels
ever fought took place in 1903, between
two Frenchmen. OF course the quarrel
arose about lady, certain Mademoi-
selle Tireyit, who. it appears, could not
decide which man she preferred; and
with some vague idea apparently of re-
viving ancient custom, she agreed to
marry whichever worsted the other. The
ardent lovers postponed their combat
for month, that they might feel "quite
COOL" and then agreed to fight in the
air! Two balloons were made exactly
alike, and upon the appointed day the
rivals, each with his second, took their
places and scared alott, agreeing to fire,
not at each other, but at each other 8
balloon, for which purpose they we're
armed with blunderbusses. The wind
was moderate, the balloons rose half a
mile, and then the preconcerted signal
was given. One : of the gentlemen
missed his aim, the other sent ball
through the rival balloon, which instant
" collapsed, and the car descending
with frightful rapidity, the duelist and
his second were dashed to the ground
and killed, and we are to suppose that
the successful rival was rewarded by the
fair hand Of Mile, Isevit.

Good-hearted Henry Wilson.

The late Henry Wilson could never.
it is said, briug bimself to refuse to sign
his name to papers recommending per-
sons for public positions. Il former
member of congress says that worthy
young man who wanted consulate came
to him one day in state of elation over
a letter which he had procured from tho
vice president. This, with other rec
concentrations, the congressman laid be-
fore the secretary of state, who looked
them over carefully. "When he came
to Vice President Wilson's letter,
says the congressman in the Boston
Journal, che broke cut in quite merry
laugh. inquired what he found that
was so pleasing. 'Wby, said he l will
lay wager that I can produce to yol
from the files of this department. 500
Just such letters from the good vice
PRESIDENT. I replied that my friend
based his hopes mainly on that letter:
The secretary said that if his letters had
such potency no place would long remain
untitled. My candidate did not get his
appointment.

Alazy BOYS Luck.

A Vermont farmer bad lazy, stift|es:'
son who everybody said ought to have
gone out and fed swine on suall SALARY,
but who refused almost to feed himself:
Everybody agreed that he was coed
for nothing, and one day the old man
ambled him out of the house with the
toe of his boot. The boy went away and
invented the lemon-squeezer, and IN one
year had enough money in his pocket to
buy his old dad ten times over. lie
made altogether $40, 900 from the patent,
and the man he sold to made 800, 900 IN
three years. There are two morals here.
Kick your boy into luck, and then kick
him again to keep him from selling out
at too low price,
