A Story of Phil Armour.

Millionaire Phil Armour has a pleas
ant custom Of buying a suit Of clothes
once year for each OF his office en-
ployees. This year all but one Of the
boys visited certain tailor on the South
side and were measured for suits rang
ing in price from $50 to s35. The ex-
ception was dude, who scorned the Sc
lections made by his colleagues. He
wanted something gorgeous and tight
fitting. After paving over the fashion
plates of the tailor lie finally selected
piece of goods which would cost 1925 to
build into garments. When the tailor,
a few weeks later, sent his itemized bill
to the big pork packer the latter made
inquiries for the purpose of finding out
whether this young man with aesthetic
taste was really so unfortunate as to
have to work.
lis he at work in any Of our depart
ments?" Mr.. Armour asked, turning to
one of his lieutenants.
eyes; he works in the-room," was
the reply.
"Eh, eh! Has he drawn his money
for this month";"
"No, sir; not yet"
"Well, then, 60 get his salary and
give it to me, and tell him | want to see
him at once"
When the dude trippsd up to the mil
lionaire, the latter cleared his throat
and said:
"Young man, like to have my clerks
consider themselves on an equality with
one another. In looking over tho tail
or's bill | find that you rate yourself
800 higher than the figures your col
leagues place upon themselves. AS |
see no tangible proof of your great
worth to this establishment, it gives Inc
much satisfaction to present to you
your months salary, together with my
estimate of your value-your dismissal
from my service. Remember, Pm an
expert on hogs and know how to salt
them"

Autumn Leaves.

Crimson and scarlet and yellow,
Emerald turning to gold,
Shimmering there in the sunbeams,
Shivering here in the cold;
Waving farewells as the tempest
Ruthlessly tears them apart,
Fluttering, and dancing and rustling
AS hither and thlther they dart;
Reeklessly sailing the rapids,
Lazily swimming the pools,
Playing "I spy ~ with each other
Under the puffy toadstools.
Wreaths for the walls Of her dwelling
Each neat little housekeeper weaves,
And there, amid delicate fern sprays,
Nestle the bright autumn leaves.

QUEER ADVICE.
IN old phs saclnn says Drink YouK
Whislkey straight.

TO THR EDITOR: In several OF your re-
cent issues, have observed the articles
OF q whiskey concern In Baltimore. Nd,
watch, while written from an interested
motive, contain some very sensible state
ments. especially their remarks about so
called bitters, cough syrups. cod liver oil,
etc. Now, while do not agree with them
In some of their claims. still, as TO the three
mixtures above mentioned. otruer words
could have been spoken. Every day in
my practice come across people whose
maladies are traceable direct to these nox-
ious compounds. Take, for instance, the
widely advertised "bitters" Of to-day.
In nine cases out OF ter. they consist or 30
per cent. fthe amount the government ale
iows) OF what is called commercial alco-
hoI,n that is, an alcohol of the vilest and
most poisonous grade. The remaining in
gradients consist of various foreign sub
stances as fiavoring extracts. These decoc-
tions are consumed principally by the con-
sumptive. the debilitated. the convalescent
and others of weak stomachs. Now, while
alcohol. especially in the form of whis-
key, is the best known stimulant, and
is prescribed daily by the profession
everywhere. and while whiskey and
glycerine Is the best thing for coughs,
upon taking this alcohol in the form OF .
decoction or nostrum. 1t would be far
better IL they would take it straight" as
In that form, as the articles state. 1t passes
into the DlO0d vessels ulrect, without Qi-
gestive effort on the part OF the stomach,
and affords more nutriment than any
other known substance. If the concern in
Baltimore have discovered means of dis
tillinQ an article Of the kind they claim,
that is, whiskey, absolutely pure and free
from fusel oil (which very much doubt),
they have solved one OF the greatest scien-
tihc problems OF the 18th century, some
thing that has been the source Of more in
vestigatiOn among scientists aud chemists
during the last half century than any
other one article known to the pharmacO-
mia, and the fortunate discoverers will
have in 1t greater monopoly than the
large quinine operators had few years
ago, which latter monopoly is now Rradu-
ally failing, through the great inroads
whiskey Is making on it in the cure OF
malarlRl troubles. OLD PRACTITIONER.
RegArding the doubt expressed by the emf
nent doctor as TO whether Duffy's pure malt
whiskey is absolutely free from fusel oil, as
claimed by the proprietors. we would say to
our readers that the company submits their
article to analysis by any Intelligent chemist
or physician. and it has already been analysed
by the most eminent chemists in the country.
