Tell the Truth or Shut Up.

st. Louis Republican.
Secretary Lamar tells a good story
of an anxious clerk, who wanted to
make himself solid in his place.
Several days ago." he is reported
as saying, 81. G. Schaffer, of Illinois,
a 81 400 clerk in this department,
called at my Office. He understood,
he said, that ii number Of diSmiSSals
would be made at the close of the
year. In order to make his own
place secure he informed me that he
had always been an uncompromising
Democrat, and was appointed as such
under the Hayes administration. He
laid so much stress upon this fact,
and referred to it so constantly that
out of curiosity | directed the ap-
pointment clerk to lay before me
such papers in that division as bore
upon Mr.. Schaffer's case. To my
great surprise discovered that Schal-
fer's appointment had been made at
the instance of several Republican
politicians of that State as a reward
for his services to that party, /
furthered discovered that the several
applications which Schaffer had made
from time to time for an increase of
salary were based uniformly on hi,
record as a Jealous Republican work
or. l have ordered that he be drop
ped from the rolls December l, al.
though, in all probability. had he
attended to his duties and not lied to
me, he would have remained in his
position undisturbed.

Drinking in Washington.

1t is said that drinking is decreas-
ing at Washington. do not believe
this to be so, writes correspondent
of the Cleveland Leader. Fewer PEG.
pie drink at the saloons, perhaps.
But it has come to he that every
public man has his cellars stocked
with wines and brandies, and liquors
are sold by the quantity instead of by
the glass. All of the grocery stores
at Washington keep large stocks OF
liquors, from Mumm'S extra dry
champagne down to very cheap
article of whisky, and you will find
wine stores in nearly every block. In
no city of the United States, except,
perhaps, New Orleans, is there so
much wine drank in proportion to
the population. Many families never
sit down to a meal without having
wine on the table, and at Washing
ton hotel, where public men stop, ii
is the rule to take a bottle of wine
with your dinner. Within the last
two years punch has become very
popular at Washington, and you will
now find big punch bowl at almost
every fashionable gathering. 1t is
quite an art to make a fine Washing
| ton punch, and it takes very little OF
the regular article to cause the knees
to culver and the head t0sWim. One
receipt contains the ingredients, whiS-
| ky, rum, claret, champagne, sugar
and lemons. A little water added to
this, and you have a drink that will
put an old topper under the table after
half Of his usual allowance. Still,
this stuff is given to young men and
maidens.
There is a good deal of difference
in the United States as to drinking.
Men from the North and East and
from California drink wine, while
those from the West and South take
whisky or beer. Kentuckians usually
take whisky straight, and Wiscon-
sins are fond of their own milwaukee,
lager. Senators Frye and Blair are
said to be the only Senators who are
tetOtallerS.
There was Congressman named
JadWin in the Forty .seventh Con-
gress who never sat down to meal
without having a teacup of hot water
placed before him. He seasoned it
with cream and sugar, and drank ii
as other people do coffee. Congress
man Hatch of Missouri is also a hot
water drinker, and Breckenridge of
Arkansas took it with every meal.
These hot water drinkers advocate
the practice as cure for dyspepsia
and Indigestion, and they say they
become as fond of the drink as of tea.
coffeet or whisky.

THE CHAMPION WAGON IS THE
HORSES FRIEND.
The Old-FashiOned Wagon Must Give
Way.

Way.
The Champion Wagon has sta
tiOnary front axle, with malleahle
iron piYOted arms. The axle arms are
connected with the tongue in such
manner as to bring the draught direct
to the point of resistance. BY means
of this construction many very de-
cided advantages are gained, while
no desirable features on the old
fashioned wagon are lost.
The advantages of the Champion
Wagon are:
When the wheel strikes an obstruc-
ton the pole will not fly to one side
and strike the horse,
When one of the front wheels gets
in hole it is more easily gotten out
than that of the ordinary wagon, as
both horses help to pull it out. In
other wagons the horse next the hole
has to do 1t oil.
The Champion Wagon can be turn.
ed in a shorter space than other
wagons.
The front axle being stationary like
the hind one, the wagon is the most
sOIidly built, the most firmly braced
and the strongest wagon in the mar
ket. There is no one point like the
king-bolt of the ordinary wagon that
bears constant strain and wear, and
the wagon will run solid and firm for
years where other wagons would get
'shack ing" and loose jointed.
1t is specially adapted to billy and
stony countries, similar to the section
where it has (for some years. been
made by the patentee, Ia local wagon
maker and where it has been thor
Oughly tested and endorsed by the
farmers. 1t has become so popular in
that section that many farmers would
rather pay full price for the Cham
pion Wagon, for their own use. than
to have the ordinary farm wagon as
present. AS an im provement on
the ordinary farm wagon, it holds
about the same relation to it that a
breech-loading gun holds to a muzzle
loader.
This extraordinary wagon is for sale
by j. NJ. Davis & Son. A sample can
be seen at anytime. We also offer a
good farm wagon (oId-style) for $50.
