The goat is a native Of the yacapt
lots about the city, and there are
lots Of them.
The goat Is omnivorous. He will
goat anything that he sees, and will
seize anything that he may goat.
His principal food, however, is
play bills. He is fond of letters.
Let us honor him for his love of
bill letters.

The lady goats are called Nanny
This Is their we-Nanny-mous

The young goat is called a kid.
Kids are on hand the year round.
The goat is generous to fault.
He presents a couple OF horns TO
everybody he sees.
In the matter of mere cash, the
Cashmere goat is the most famous.
Goats are fond of the outskirts OF
large cities; also hoop skirts.
The goat wears beard. IT is
called a gOatee, though not con-
fined to the he goat.
The goat is noted for his bunting,
but he never flags.
The goat is one of the signs of the
zodiac, signifying that he has pro-
pensity to knock things sky-high.
He never gets high himself.
That il TO say, never gets over the

s'stand not upon the order of your
going, but goat once"
The goat is a wide-awake animal
He is never caught mapping, not

Brother BULLOCK.

In his temperance speeches,
Brother Bullock says of the drunk
ard that his wife and children are
afraid of him and even when the
drunkard's dog sees him, it is so
badly frightened that it runs under
the house. The same speaker, in
his inimitable way, declares that
he once saw a man who was so
drunk that although he tried his
best he could not fall offof a wagon.
Brother Bullock is one of the best
speakers in all Of this country, and
it would be difficult to find man
anywhere who has worked as faith
fully and successfully as he has done
in behalf of temperance. He ham
les John Barleycorn without gloves,
strips the mark from his face, and
shows him up in his true colOrs.
One of his favorite expressions is,
that "Any man who wrestles with
John, will be sure to wind up at
bottom" 1t is always a treat to
hear Brother Bullock speak, and
when he has finished, you feel that
AT any time, you would gladly
walk ten miles to listen to his burn
ing uence.-Tenlperdnce World.

Dorsey i'm for il.

A keen lawyer friend of Dorsey
said to him the other evening:
dorsey you are 4 fool to be
wasting your time upon what you
will not get from any of the people
in power. They have no nlerCiful
concessions to make to you, no mat

prepare for the indictment that is
coming as sure as the rising of to-
morFOW's sum-"

Getting Rid of Rum.
From Demorest's Monthly for may.

From Demorest's Monthly for may.
1t is remarkable how many states
are trying to get rid of the evils of
intemperance. Kansas is enforc-
ing a very stringent anti-liquOr
law; and in nearly every Western
state efforts are making to put a
stop contemporaries. Texas even
Notwithstanding it's large German
and Southern population, is discuss
ing the wisdom of a prOhibitive
liquor law; and the friends of such
legislation are largely represented
in the Legislature itself. Bad as
liquor drinking is in the Eastern
states, it, is far more Obstructive
to life and health on the dry,
elevated plateaus of the West. In
England the natives can soak
themselves with beer and gin, and
yet last many years. This is due
to the foggy, moist atmosphere.
But i'm the higher, dyer, altitude of
the West, the same amount of
liquor would make the English
men crazy, as well as shorten his
life. The time may come when
the United States Government may
take this matter of liquor drinking
in hand.

The Liquor Traffic.

The maintenance of intemper-
ance is a social crime. Pandering
to the appetiteS of men whether in
foods or liquors, is morally wrong.
The liquor tratic is criminal. 1t is
business which wars upon home.
1t undermines the strength of soci-
ETY., by violating the sanctuary of
domestic peace. What we see of
intemperance on the streets is by
no means the measure of its evil.
That which meets the eye and
pains the ear is but the overflow of
misery, and preSageS deeper chaSms
of anguish that are forever stified
in secret by the unhappy members
of society who are cursed by that
wretched slavery-drink. The hab-
it of drinking like the "wOrm in
the bud" cOnceals its effects until
the ravages are beyond redemp-
ton. The bud drops into dust and
the drinking man becomes a drivil-
ing idiot. The liquor traffic is year
by year quenching the light of Il
thousand homes. Read its evils in
characters once virtuous, lost to hope
through the Vaccinations of the
OCNOAI OOLlOu dAAuhs
Could we draw a map of our
country so as to present a full pic
ture of its social conditiOn-could
we make clear, upon this map, the
intensities of feelings, the bursting
of hearts, the hidden gnawing
griefs, the longings of wives, moth
ers and parents for pure husbands
and SONS, our map would be spot
ted with deep black marks repre-
senting the extent of our social lep-
rOsy-the demon drink.
The least item by far in the
ledger balance Of the liquor traffic,
is the money spent for drink. 1t is
the double compound interest-the
great indirect evils that flow there
from which makes the crime of
liquor selling so baneful to society.
The first and direct tax falls upon
the consumer of drink, but there is
a second tariff which intemperance
draws from all society, viz: Blood
money, and hOuse-Of- correction
money. These fall upon every
citizen in the land, resulting in
murder-laws, and murders, theft
laws, thieves, luaatics and crimi-
nails. So much waste of social en-
ergy units each individual member
from doing his work and diminish
es the mental and physical calibre
of all. Therefore everyone should
bring all his force and energy to
bear upon diminishing this evil.
Let each one resist indulgence with
all the vigilance and activity he is
master of. This is the duty and
prayer of every friend and we'll
wished of.

The Different styles OF Kisses Ar
ranged in the Order Of Merit.
Ruafafn aNAHsoran ~,


We have noticed that with the
Bernhardt craze has come Il Ca.
mile mania, owing chiefly to the
opportunities that the play affords
for displaying new, and original
styles of kissing. Beginning with
Bernhardt, her OSCILLATION is de-
scribed as a convulsive hug. accom-
panied by kiss that seems.tO come
from just back of the spine, but
which was no explosion 10 it. Fan
ny Davenport has different style.
she catches Arm and just as a Wes-
tern New York girl does the fellow
she means to marry, gives him a
tender yet robust squeeze, and kiss
e. him with ferYOr that can be
heard to the custOm-hOuse. No
nonsense about that kiss, and If Ed
Price gets them regular in private
life he ought to be contented. In
the opinion of many Fanny's kisses
discount the kiss Emma Abbott car
ries around with her, packed in the
ice to keep il fresh. Emma's kiss
was learned away in the West, but
never practice much till after she
was married to a Boston druggist.
The first words of praise of it came
from an actor wnOm she nearly
strangled in a luxurious embrace.
He never got over it, and raves
about it to this day.
How sadly different is Mary An
dersOn in her kisses They are de
liVered at a temperature of 400 be-
low zero. Said an actor whom she
had once partly concealed: "When
| was boy was induced by false
and fieeting friends one day to
place my tongue against lamp
post. The experience was unutter-
ably agonizing. So was that of my
kiss from Mary Anderson"
Scott Siddons' kiss is peculiar a
peck like q bird, and a chirrup thai
sounds like "chip." It's all over
with that. But she's such dainty
body that he who is kissed aches
because it is over so soon. Mrs. Sid
dons is fond of English decollette OF
low-neck style, probably because
she has about the finest neck and
bust in the world.
Janauschek's kisses are but rare
and they are very matrOnly. They
come with words that are growled
forth from a deep imbedded dia.
phragm and are mere touches, not
like Soldene's used to be in the old
days when she gave her stage low
ers the full benefit of the Mammoth
Cave that yawns across her face
There is more kiss to the square foot
of Soldene's mouth than that of any
other woman on the stage. Alice
- n l.
tally just after her ninth marriage,
when varied experience had made
her mistress of style. She could
kiss high tragedy or low comedy,
and between the two extremes ring
in every known variety from Mod.
jeska's stately icinesS to Pauline
Markhams' smack. With hel
twelfth and present husband, how
ever, she has got to go slow on the
kiss racket, for he won't stand it.

Some Advance AnecdOtes OF the
Gear.
The sudden and lementable death
of the Gar recalls a few anecdotes
of that popular Emperor, which
tend largely to show his nature and
the genuine qualities of the man.
In the latter part of the spring of
1916, the Car having borrowed
dollar of Count Amolenk, dropped
into a billiard room for little
game of pin pool. In little while
he had lost all his money, and,
though stoutly urged to continue
the game, resisted all entreaties and
was about turning away when he
caught The flashing eye of young
man who becked to him. "You.
are in need of funds" said the
Young man. 81 am" responded
the Emperor kindly. 81 can let
you have some on one condition."
solemny responded the youth. md
the condition is ?' asked the Gar.
''That we exchange places" re-
piled the youth. The Emperor
smiled pleasantly and walked
away. "YOu will live to regret
this % exclaimed the young man,
impetuOusly, and with warning
glance in his eyes. But the Gar
paid no attention to the prophecy,
and making his way home, let
himself in the basement door and
crept stealthily to bed. The EN-
peror is dead, and gentle reader,
that young man was James A. Gar
field.
On another occasion the Gar was
celebrating the fourth of July. lie
had purchased a muZzel loading
pistol and was parading the streets
of st. Petersburg, hanging away for
keeps. "You are the Gar ?" asked
an elderly gentleman, raising his
hat respectfully. THAT is my bust

can 1 do for you p II have
mortgage on my house," replied
the other. 'The time has expired
and my creditor refuses to indulge
me. If you fail to help me l am
Car the applicant showed him the
house. The Emperor loaded his
weapon, and taking careless aim,
blew the mortgage into thousand
pieces. "YOu have saved me !"
cried the grateful mOrtgagOr.
"Who was your creditor ?" asked
the Gar ?" "YOur majesty" re-
sponded the other. The Emperor
regarded him for a moment with Il
cheerful smile, loaded the gun
again and blew the mortgage back
with a higher rate of interest and
some two months overdue. "YOu
! have ruined mel" exclaimed the
the unfortunate debtor. Just So"
replied the potentate; but can you
| tell the difference between you and
me?' 81 cannot" sit is this: l
am a car and you are a snoOzer"
The poor man had the joke printed
and in ten days the sales had paid
his debts.
One night just before his death,
when the Emperor had been show
ing some friends from Moscow
around the town, he got home pretty
late and made his way to his bed
] room, holding his boots in his hand
and taking pains not to kick the
stair-rOds. As he entered the room
| he noticed that his wife was sitting
up in bed, madden than wild cat.
"Where have you been, Gar ?" she
demanded. ''If | could trust you, |
would tell YOU" he replied. "YOu
know very well, Gar that you can
trust me-" said the lady, resting
her chin on her knees. But you
