his every look.

The First Whistle.

The story of the first steam whistle on
the Missouri River is amusing. Its in
PRODUCTION dates back to 1874. At that
time the settlers on the Missouri River
were in the habit of making regular
yearly visits to st. Louis to do their
trading for themselves and friends.
They were not provided with daily inter-
course with the outside world, and many
who lived back from the river seldom, If
ever, saw a steamboat more than once n
year. 1t happened that during the fall
of 1914 the new steamboat Lexington
started up the Missouri River, loaded
down to the guards with freight.
The steamer was provided with n
steam whistle-the first one used on the
Missouri River-and as it happened no
one knew about it except Warner, who
was wag and lover of joke. The
night after leaving st. Louis the passen-
gers were collected together playing
cards in the cabin, when the talk turned
upon steamboat explosions, then very
common.
"I feel perfectly safe on this boat"
said Warner, as he dealt the cards.
"Why ?" inquired Yocum the planter.
"Why?" echoed the rest of the COM
pany.
II will tell You why" said the wag,
carefully studying his cards. "This
boat is provided with new patent safety
valve, which notifies passengers on board
when it is about to blow up. 1t is a
concern which makes most unearthly
noise, and when you hear it, it is time
to get back aft or jump overheard.
Notwithstanding the fact that Warner
told his story with the most solemn and
earnest countenanco, some were skcptl-
cal. Not 30, however, with the planter.
Next morning, when the Lexington was
stcaming up the long, straight stretch
of river Just below Washington, Mo-, the
passengers were mt breakfast.
Suddenly the whistle commenced to
blow, the first time on the trip. The
passengers looked at each other mo.
ment, and horror and dismay spread
over their faces. The first man to real
ize the situation and act was Yocum.
the planter, who, with hair erect and
blanched lace, jumped up, crying as MS
pulled over one after another Of the pas
sengers:
'Run-run for your lives; the thing
is going to bust Come with me, and
let us save ourselves y
or course there was q stampede for
the rear of the boat, and it was only by
the exertion of some of the crew that the
more excited were restrained from jump
ing into the river.-Kdnsds city Star.

WuLE the men and boys Of Ann

WHILE the men and boys Of America
were drinking eight gallons apiece Of

to England, France and Germany, while
the liquor found its way over almost the
entire area of the civilized world In
spite of the fact thGt we used $4,000, 900
gallons of our own whiskey in the past
year, there were imported 5000, 900 gal
Ions of spirits Of various sorts, which,
by the way, is more than we exported in
the year. 1t is proper to add, that the
internal revenue tax collected upon this
whisky, beer and tobacco during the
past fiscal year was $40, 900, 600. and
that the internal revenue system, since
its inception in 1868, has brought into
the treasury total of S3,0S7 ,37G, 1866

OTHER PEOPLES EYES.

Slowly Alice Austin came back from
The garden gate, where she had Just
parted with her young husband. The
June sunshine was as golden as when
they had left the door, arm in arm; the
roses glowed rs brightly upon the trellis
over the gate; the birds sung as blithely
among the apple-blossoms; but her facc
bore n shadow that it had not carried
when she left the sunny breakfast.room,
and her eyes had not glance for bird
or bloom.
Entering the house, she went to the
bay-window overlooking the pretty
garden, and stood looking idly out few
moments, then taking up pair of scis-
'ors, began impatiently to clip the dead
leaves and blossoms from the plants
growing in the window.
All this was observed by quiet Aunt
Ruth, sitting by the opposite window,
who finally said, in her soft voice:
"Alice, | think ! hear Bess callingw
ooh! yes; [ suppose so! answered
Alice. 81 never get a moment for my

Mrs. Marston-.she never sees her baby
until he is all washed and dressed and
brought in by the nurse in the morning,
and never has to be kept awake nights
or deprived of any pleasure days by the
care of him. She always keeps nurse
for him, and only has him with herself
when she feels like it; but / am just tied
to my baby day and night"
"Why, Alice !" said Aunt Ruth, sur.
prised at this outburst, "I'm sure you
have the best little blessing of q baby
that ever lived She's as good as gold
the darling~ and she arose and went
into the next room, from which she
presently returned with plump baby
seven or eight months old, who looked
at her mother with placid violet eye
and contentedly sucked her thumb.
"There, now /" said Aunt Ruth, as sh
tumbled and rolled the laughing infan
into its mothers lap. "Look at thi

Some startling facts are disclosed in
the report of the commissioners of
internal revenue. Last year the tobacco
factories in this country used 11,653, $3.50
pounds of licorice in fixing their goods
for the market. Besides this they used
1,257, 100 pounds of sugar to make the
stuff taste good. The total amount of
tobacco manufactured in the United
States last year was 110, 100000 pounds.
So that it is fair to conclude that ten per
cent. of the tobacco chewed by free
American citizens, is licorice and another
ten per cent. sugar. New Jersey takes
thelead in the manufacture of tobacco,
with Missouri q close second. North
Carolina third, and New York fourth.
In the manufacture of cigars New York
leads the list, having 1898 factories and
making million cigars year, The to-
bacco factories and importers supply fol-
every male person in the country ten
hounds of chewing tobacco, three and q
half pounds of smoking tobacco, two
hundred and fifty cigars, and half {
mound of snuff. The whiskey showing
is still worse. Every male person in thu
country coHld have had six gallons
piece last year if the quantity cconsum
cd had been ebually divided, while ther'
was enough malt liquor destroyed t
furnish every man, woman and ehil'
with ten gallons each, The delightful
luxuries, while they regaled the Amer

At THE MILL.

What did y0u see, my farmor2
Gray w<'s Of wood and stone,
mill wheel turning to grind your grist,
And lnrnos Cor that alone.
You hear the mill-stone's murmr,
The splash of the tumbling rill,
As You plod with your oxen slowly down
The sunny slopes Of the hill.
The heavens are blue above you,
There's sun and shade on the road;
You touch the brindlc backs Of your team
And reckon the bags in the load.
You clip the heads Of the daisies,
And wonder that God should need
To litter the fields with tho staring blooms
or a stubborn and worthless weed.
You're honest and true and sturdy;
Hero give me your brawny hand
singer Of idle songs, | greet
The farmer who tills the land,
Plod home with your Grist in the gosming;
The baby crows at the gate,
And over the hill by the pasture bars
The lowing cattle wait
What do see, my farmer2
The mill and the rill and the wheel,
The moss on the shingles, The mould on thu
stones,
And tho floating mists Of meal.
But the poets vision is Clearer,
Revealing the hidden things,
see the riyillct flow TO the sea
From cool, clear, woodland springs.
| see the brown fields quicken
With the green Of the growing wheat,
When the swallows a-tilt at tho bending
caves,
And the breath of the morn is sweet.
see the swaying reapers
In fields of the golden grain;
And oxen that pant in the summer sun
Yoked to loaded vain
Isce white sails caroenlng
On the opal-tinted seas,
When the silyery sunlight glints the waves
That are stirred by frcshening breeze,
see the stOfm-rack gather,
That blots out the evening star;
And flung in the foam of billow's crest
A drowned man lashed to a spar.
/ see in the citys shadows
A figure that crecps and.scrawls
"Giye blood or bread" while tho wine flow
red
And there's mirth in the city halls.
| see rich mans darlings,
As fresh as the roses bloom,
And the gaunt, white face of little child,
Dead, in barren room.
Plod home with your grist;my farmer,
Nor heed how the wide world fares;
The eyes hat are clearest are saddest alwa,
With their burden of alien cares,
flushed is the mill-stonc's murmur
The dripping wheel il still;
And over the dusky vale hear
The song of the whip-poor-will.

AN adroit reasoner once wrote an essay
on tea as cause of cri in which he
contended that this mild beverage wrck-
edmore nerves and ruined more consti-
tutions than all the various forms of
alcohol combined. The consumption Of
tea is increasing rapidly and tea drinking
is becoming more and more Of social
custome in England and America. Sugar
is going out of favor at fashionable Ame-
rican tea parties, and cream is losing
ground. The French drink their tea
very sweet and help themselves to sugar
with their fingers. The Russians, who
set many of our social customs for us,
prefer lemon with both hot and cold tea
and seldom use sugar. Tho luxury of
tea drinking is said to be offered in its
most tempting form in Russia. Their
best brand costs ten dollars pound ld
its proper preparation for the table is one
Of the national fine arts.
