Standing Treat.

One OF the most absurd of all foolish Gus
toners is that of inviting a crowd of friends
or strangers to walk up to the bar and "take
something at my expense" Men do not buy
other things, useful and ornamental, in this
way; why should they make an exception in
favor of this poisonous draught which is
the cause of most of the crimes which curse
the land and fill the community with power
ty, mourning and woe? Some one has sensi-
bly, said
Now, boys, if you want to be generous
and treat each other, why not select some
other p ace besides the liquor shop? Suppose.
as you go BY the post Office, you remark, 4
say, my dear fellow, C, me in and take some
stamps" These stamps will cost you no
more than drinks all around. Or go to the
haberdasher's and say Boys, come in and
take box Of collars. Walk up to a gro
cerss free and generous, and say, what
kind of coffee will yo have? Why not treat
to groceries by the pound as well as LIQUORS
by the glass Or take your comrades to the
cutters and Say, IN stand good pocket
knife all around. This would be thought
queer way of showing friendship but would
it not be better than to offer to friends a
maddening, poisonous, deadly draught?
Suppose man should keep deu of rat.
tlesnakes and allow men to come in and be
bitten at ten cents bite, would il be n sen.
sible thing for a man to invite all his friends
ia to be bitten at his expense Is it worth
our while to run the risk of turaiug our
friends into brutes, mauiacs and murderers
and their homes into hells of trouble and
distress, by giving them Something to drink
at my expense" eat last it biteth like a
serpent and stingeth Ike an adder. Young

Respect for our Flag.

There must be some way road or method
opened by which foreigners may be impress
ed with respect for our flag.
In time of peace prepare for war is pre-
cept we look askance at, for our teachers tell
us that American civilization sees faint of
brutality in the idea. But is not that senti-
ment somewhat attenuated at this moment |
Here is this petty neighbor of ours iu the
North, little Canada fussing and fuming like
braggart Pistol. We need Captain Fluel-
leu to force leek down his throat
Had we even one respectable warship sta
TONED on the Maine coast its presence would
probably be sufficient to cool Canadian blus-
t. and protect our ships and citizens from
overbearing insolence.
Citizens in the United States in various
parts of the world are continuously subject
ed to indignity. The apology is sometimes
given but with great tardiness. But then
these indignities with their subsequent apol-
ogies are becoming tiresomely monotonous.
Why we should be subject to insult at all is
the real question.
An efficient navy would undoubtedly save
the country these ,exing annoyances. 1t is
not England, Germany, France, nor Russia
or any other of the Great Powers that sub
ject lis to these insults. They respect them
selves and us too much to be caught in any
such trivialty. 1t is the smaller powers
such as Chilli, Peru, Spain, and Canada that
are continually picking at the United States.
The parallelism is found in ordinary socie-
ty. We have the policeman On the street.
Why not have American police ships in the
Atlantic and Pacific Other nations find
them necessary. 1t seems that they are nee
essary for us also in order to protect citizens
of this country from insult and annoyance
Chilli dare not insult German or English
subject, but she derides an American and
laughs with gusto at our fleet. Probably
she has little of logic on her side, for heI
warship Esueralda could face the whole
fleet that was at the Tortugas the other day
The argument is that had we an efficient
police fleet there would be no complaints,
just as the presence Of the police on oul
streets preclude opsn outrage anu law Dreak.

Congressional Fable.


The following nursery tale was sent up to
the clerks desk in the House of Representa-.
tives Saturday last during the debate on the
oleomagarine bill, and was read at the request
Of Representative Van Eaton of Mississippi /;
Once upon time Mr.. and Mrs. Cow went
out for little promenade, as was their Gus
tom in pleasant weather. They took with
them their favorite child, Butter, bright,
yellow-haired cherub, greatly admired by
the friends of Mrs. Cow. As they strolled
along, the cherub wandered into grocery
store near by and presently came running
out, accompanied by another cherub, who
was its very Twin. Mr.. Cow looked inquir-
ingly at Mrs. Cow.
"Oh, mamma ~ cried dear little Butter
'See See | have found my Twin"
Quite true, my child" responded Mrs
Cow, ami, turning to the Twin, she asked
"What is your nameP"
"oleo Margarine" lisped the Twin.
What pretty name" said Mrs. Cow !;
."and who is yonr mamma and papa?"
Il do not know" said the Twin. 81 guess
| must be poor little orphan"
80 you are so you are" said the kind
Mrs Cow; and after some consultation with
her husband and continued appeals from her
own cherub, she asked the Twin to come
home with her and be playmate for Butter.
This the Twin readily agreed to do and
that night Oily and Butty slept together in
the sweetest harmonies of childhood. In
the morning Mrs Cow went in to call the
little ones, and they both sat up in their
trundle-bed.
(which is Butty and which is Oly?"
laughed Mrs. Cow in playful mood.
81 am Butty," lisped Oly sweetly.
mo, am" screamed Butter, pulling out
several handfuls of her golden hair.
mo, am," persisted Oily and then Mrs
Cow, looking first at one and then at the
other, burst into tears. ..
"How is this p inquired Mr.. Cow, coming
into the nursery.
"oh, oh l do not know which is Butter
and which is oleo Margarine" cried Mrs.
Cow, pointing at the two little similarties.
Chip gasped Mr. Cow, turning to the
bed.
"See y explained Mrs. Cow, 'there isn't
any difference which is which ?''
Both of them, growled Mr.. Cow. ''Bnt
wife, if there isn't any difference, what is
the difference ?" And he went back to his
morning newspaper, leaving Mrs. Cow still
IN tears.

Among the Rntfer mon

The oleomargarine question is already a
live subject of discussion along King street
and in the Market Houses.
''rhe fact is" remarked a large butter
dealer of King street ''there is not near
enough of genuine butter to meet the de-
mand, the farmers don't produce anything
like sufficient for Wilmington's demands.

Some men and some women, are always
acting. They are just as much actors as if
they were on the stage. They cannot get up
or sit down, they cannot move, they cannot
speak, without thinking how they appear to
others. 1t is painful to live with such per.
sons. They are never natural, they cannot
be natural. They are constantly studying
for effect in everything. We IN ist say that
we like natural people. We like a good
warm grip of the hand. We like a ringing,
hearty laugh, no matter how loud it is. We
like words that are earnest and true, and
actions that are genuine, spontaneous and
instructive. Give us warm nature rather
than cold calculation.
