A Homo Bar.

Liquor dealers pay on an average 81
per gallon for whiskey. One gallon
contains an average of sixty-tive
drinks, and at ten cents drink the
poor man pays $3.50 per gallon for his
whiskey. In other words, he pays 81
for the whiskey and $3.50 to the man
for handing it over the bar, to say
nothing about the water added. Now
if you must drink, make your wife
your bar-keeper. Lend her 80 to buy
a gallon of whiskey for a beginning;
and every time you want a drink 20 to
her and pay her ten cents for it. If
she waters it twenty-five per cent
which will be none the worse for you,
by the time you have drunk gallon,
she will have 81. II, OF enough to re-
fund the - borrowed of you to pay for
the gallon of whiskey, and have bal
ance of 1912. She will be able to con-
duct further operations on her own
capital, and when you become An inc
briatc, unable to support yourself,
stunned and despised by all respecta-
BILE persons, your wife will have money
enough to keep you until you get
ready to fill drunkard's grave.-E1.

Tho SERPENT i'm 1 indiana.

L
While fishing at Round Lake, near
Laketon, this morning, Mr.. r. M.
Smith, of Springfield, ILL.,, and L. II.
Fougeres, a wealthy grocer of this
city, observed the large devil fish which
it has been declared inhabits the lake.
Both gentlemen describe il as being
forty feet in length, of dull gray col
or, and possessing q small head and
large fins. Its body is slender, the
great diameter not exceeding twenty
inches. When first observed it was in
the center of the lake, foundering
about and beating the water into
foam. It then, with astonishing speed,
headed for the bank, and disappeared
for a moment in the rushes. then re-
turning to the lake and sinking out of
sight Fishermen have insisted for
o decade on the presence in the lake
of this serpent, but their stories have
only elected ridicule and advice re-
speeding the ardent use of intoxicants.
The assertion of Mr.. Fougeres, who is
straightforward and honorable and an
enemy to Munchausenism in every
form, has convinced all who have heard
the wonderful narrative that Round
Lake does contain q nondescript mon
ster-Wabash (I'.d.) Special.

Warm hearts are sometimes found
under ragged jackets, as is shown by
the following incident:
A kit is a box of tools or whatever
outfit is needed in a particular branch
of business.
It surprised the sinners and newsboYs
around the post Office the other day to
see Little Tim" coming among them
IN quiet way, and hear him say:
boys, l want to sell my kit. Here's
two brushes, a hull box of backing. q
good stout box. and the outfit goes for
two shillings."

mot 'zactly boys, but I want quar-.
ter the awfullest kind just now.
''Goin' on sknr?" asked another.
mot to-day, but I must have q quar-

One of the lads passed over the
change, and took the kit, and Tim
walked straight to the counting-room
Of daily paper, put down his money
and said: II guess I kin write if you
give me a PENCIL
With slow-moving fingers he wrote a
death notice. 1t went into the paper
almost as he wrote it, but you might
have seen it. He wrote:
''Died-Litul Ted-of scarlet fever
aged three yere. Funeral tomorrow,
gone up to Hevin, left won brother.''
WAS it your brother?" asked the
cashier.
Tim tried to brace up, but he
couldn't. The big tears came up, his
chin quivered, and he pointed to the
counter and gasped:
Ill had to sell my kit to do it, b.
but he had his arms around my neck
when he d-died."
He hurried away home, but the new.
went to the boys, and they gathered
into a group and talked. Tim had not
been home an hour before barefooted
boy left the kit on the doorstep, and in
the box was bouquet of flowers which
had. been purchased in the market by
pennies contributed by the crowd Of
ragged but big-hearted boys. Did God
ever make heart which would not re-
spond if the right chord was touched

A handsome flock of pigeons circled
over the tall buildings on Broadway
just below Fourteenth street, and finally
alighted in the top window of a three

as they tufned their faces up and
watched the flying birds.
"Humph! dem pigeons hev been dar
many a year." remarked an old darkey
as he trudged along. A reporter for
the Mail and Express decided to in
vestigate the pigeon question. On the
top floor of the building Mr.. Thornton
M. Rodman sat writing. He smiled
when asked if he kept q pigeon rookery.
mo. l don't call it a rookery, but I
have q pigeon room right here filed
with rare specimens. l have fifty-tWO
pigeons and it took me just twelve years
to clean out large lot of worthless
birds and find the best. 1t is merely q
pastime with me. They are mostly
boards and bald-pates. Look how clean
cut their color marks are and how
smooth their feathers. And their eyes

lection and how beautiful. We 20 q

States government is experimenting
with them now in order to utilize them
as carriers. Recent experiments show
that the Florida Antwerp is capable of
flying greater distance than any
pigeon yet discovered. One flew back
to Florida with q message, some 900
miles. Five hundred miles is consid-
cred long dis stance for them to fly.

Immediately. Must know ancient and
modern languages and refer to some
well-known philologist. Compensa-
ton, good board without lodging)
in a kind family for the remainder of
the vacation. Box $50, N-Mass.
The above advertisement, clipped
from the Nation, receives the hospital
ity of these columns as an example of
majestic and gigantic impudence! In
return for knowledge of ancient and
modern languages, literature, phil
osophy and some wcll-known phil
olo&ists the lucky man will receive
what? Why, his food to be sure,
quality not stated and no reference
to any well-known chef offered-and
all without lodging, in a kind family!
No reference is given as to the quality
of this kindness, whether it be strained
or not, or droppeth as gentle dew
from the advertisers lips or pen, for
the references must all come from the

food and kindness must be his also.
Homer was said to have touched his
Tyre from door to door, Francois Villou
to have bartered rondeaux and Dallades
for a supper or a bumper, and Michael
Angelo at one time read from Dante
for his board in Bolognese family.
But it is not told that any of these
illustrious men were obliged to add to
their qualifications the recommends
ton of some well-known poet, musi-
clan, sculptor or philologist, or that
the kindness" of their feeders was a
merchantable factor in the bargain!
Upon sorry days have we fallen, when
learning comes to such q beggarly
market, and colleges may as we'll shut
their doors and educated men take to
hand organs and monkeys rather than
fall to the ''food' lodging not
included) of any suburban M@cenas
like this. The only parallel of such
majestic impudence is to be found
among the remarkable advertisements
of the London Times, wherein the
advertiser desires to enter a family
lodging includedD ''where his
Christian department and refined
conversation will be considered an
equivalent'' for that board and lodging!

Opening q Tumulus.

Workmen on the estate of Petreavie,
near Dunfermline, Scotland. have been
engaged in opening large tumulus.
1t was on this estate that q few weeks
ago, a highly interesting discovery of
cists and urns was made. The tumu-
US which has now been opened is over
two miles from the former mound.
The mound slopes gradually up to
about 40 feet from the level ground.
and near the top has been encircled by
a ring of rough stones of about 20 feet
in radius. On excavations having
been made at the top a large cist was
come upon about 8 feet below the sur
face. This cist is situated in the very
centre of the mound, and is formed of
very heavy free-stone slabs. 1t meas
ures internally AZ inches by 26 inches,
and is 88 inches in depth. It was
covered by a massive stone slab meas
uring 48 inches by 36 inches, and is
nearly 10 inches thick. In the cist was
found a tinely-shaped old decorated
urn, 5 inches in height and inches
wide. 1t being anticipated that more
urns would be found. explorations
were carried on all round the cist with
the result that seven other urn swere
found in various positions in the sur
rounding sandy soil. Six of these were
found placed with the mouth upward.
the seventh being inverted over the
mouth of one of the others. One large
urn standing fully IL inches high was
covered with q fiat stone as lid. The
whole of these urns contained. burnt
human bones and charcoal. but with
the exception of the last mentioned urn
there was large admixture of earth
and vegetable matter. In this large
urn, however, the calcined bones were
quite dry and clean, the lid having so
tar excluded earth and moisture. Ex-
plorations under careful superinten-
dence are still being proceeded with,
and it is expected that more will be
found. 1t would appear from what
has already been discovered that this
large burial mound is purely of the
cinerary type, many evidences of
cremation having been seen all round.

urns.-Eve7aiuQ Post.

GrOclon Mythology,

The ideas which the Greek mythology
contains of the origin Of the world are
very remarkable, and their symboiza-
tons very suggestive. Uranos (heaven)
and Gea (earth) arose out of chaos, and
their children were the wild and unruly
powers of nature, the Titans. Ore of the
Titan (time) who eats his own children,
slew his father and ruled the world for
a time. But Uranos had cursed his sons,
and the curse was fulfilled. Zeus,a son
of Cronas, rose against his father. and
after horrible contest which convulsed
the whole world, he confined him and
other Titans in Tartaroes, and raised his
throne in Olympus, in the light region
above the sky Much weaker are the
ideas of the Greek mythology concern
ing Piso's Cure for Consumption is q
wonderful medicine.

Hermes came and led him to hades,
the realm of shadows, where the de-
ceased live forever, but live blood
less life. Achilles said of it that he
would rather be swineherd on earth
than the King of Hades. Later, the
poets and philosophers tried to bring
some life into this dead, monotonous,
shadowy region. When the deceased
had paid his oblos, small coin which
his children or friends had placed in
his mouth, Charon would ferry him over
the Styx. He then had to pass by Ger
berus in order to gain the large plain
where Minos sat to Judge the
coming. According to the judgment
read, he then turned either to the left
into Tartaros, where Tantalos, Ixion
and others were tortured, or to the
right into the Elysian fields, where
there was q never-setting sun and
