what Is the largest number Of drinks you
ever heard of q man taking in a dayf"
IWhy, l did hear of ono old topper who
drank 800 average drinks OF whisky In
twenty-four hours, but I'm free to say /
don't believe it. But I do know Of men who
take from City to $50 right straight
along. There Is q city official who
makes a boast that he takes eighty .quare
drinks OF whisky every day. Fact, I assure
you. By the way, a follow was in here the
other day who told mo how he managed
to punish 100 glasses of beer In q
night He said all he did was to
take a wine-glass full OF sweet oil before
starting in and IL always kept him sober"
The proprietor of another resort was sought
out and asked to tell what he knew about
heavy drinking.
Il have seen politicians como In here"
said he. "aud In four hours get away with
forty drinks of whisky, but they only took
a very little at a time. They were working
some point out Of the person they were
talking to, and did not drink for the sake of
the whisky, but to further their object /
have known plenty Of men to swallow thirty
good drinks a day. Some OF the hardest
drinkers l have ever known were bar
keepers. They would take a quart Of whisky
each day for, say a year, but they never
lasted long. In liquor-dealers language,
they always had a still on. That ia, they

Medicists tell US OF a Novel Disease
which is becoming prevalent, and Is de-
structive both TO the moral and the physical
constitution People who ave grown up
amid sensational literature get into ~listless,
uneven habits; they find no pleasure in any
thing but porting over pages of trashy story
books; nothing is too startling or garish for
their taste. The more Incredible the plots,
the more remote the incidents may be from
actual life, the better they like the work Of
the storyteller; and feeding upon such "rot"
they become actually deranged in mind;
they cannot consider the real and the nsces-
aary from the point of view of clearness and
propriety. VI

decided not to issue patents for lands
to any railroad whose land grant Ia sup
posed TO be forfeited by any of th bills
now pending in Congress. Eleven bills
declaring forfeited lands granted to
railroads passed the House at the last
session, and now await action in the
Seaate, and seven more are still on the
House calendar for consideration At its
next sessi n. The only case in which
patents will be issued for lands involved
In these proposed forfeitures is where

1t is the declaration of a Chicago de-
tective, locally famous, that no more
than one murder in ten ever comes out.
Think of the recent known cases." he
says. Can you recall one in which
the life wasn't taken with shot or
blade 2" In other words, the means of
killing were snch that there could not
possibly be- any ooncealment of the
crime itself, though the criminal might
escape. He held that to prove beyond
doubt that the commonest form of pre-
meditated murder-by poisOnine-is
practiced to dreadful extent without
detection. About the only murders
that do come out, he thinks, are those
sudden, implanted ones that arise from
passion. at may net be a pleasant
thing to think Of" he remarks. "but il
can't be denied that any cool, intslli-
gent person can murder member of
his family by using a poison that
doesn't produce violent symptoms, and
run very slight risk of being caught at
1t. 1t is my firm conviction that only
small percentage of the murders are
distinguished from ordinary deaths"
