Abraham Lincoln's Diplomacy.
fool. ss(5abe'' Wharton.1

Abraham Lincoln was a wonderful
man in ways of which the public have
never heard. Joshua Bell, of Ken
lucky, had rich experience with him.
! Bell was sent at the head of delegation
from the Kentucky legislature to repre-
sent certain facts to Lincoln and secure
some desired action from the executive.
The committee was admitted to the
White House, where Bell, who was an
able man and strong speaker, made a
powerful representation of his case.
at its close Lincoln got up and came
among the Kentuckians. He began to
talk with one and the other about old
Kentucky friends. Then be linked
arms with Bell and walked back and
forth with him for an hour, chatting,
talking and especially telling funny
stories. Finally other visitors pressed
for his attention and the Kentuckians
withdrew, and started for home. They
got as far as Cincinnati before it oc'
CURED to Bell that they had not secured
a single expression from Lincoln con.
corning the object Of their visit.

IRON and arsenic n largo doses Small
doses, intended 70 oct ON the stomach
terminals Of the yagi, must be ,givenI
when The organ Is empty. Chemical
reasons also have their influence, thus,
oxide and nitrate Of silver, intended foi

stomach during It's period Of inactivity,
lest, at other times, chemical reactions

these remedies are prescribed
Iodine and the iodides further illus
trate this point. Given on an empty
stomach, they promptly diffuse into the

acids and starch form products OF in
ferior activity, and thus the purpose
which they are intended TO subserve Is
defeated Substances prescribed tt
have alvine action on the mucous mem
brane, or for prompt diffusion unal-
tered, are preferably given before
meals. The condition of the stomach
veins after meals Is such as to lessen the
activity of diffusion of poisons and him

follows that active medicaments In

safely administered after meals.
When shall acids and alkalies be

| with the view to check the excessive
formation of the acids of the gastric

as, by the laws of osmosis, they will de-
termine the glandular flow of the aka

reasoning would hold good IL the aka
line condition Of the blood is In excess;
osmosis being favored, the acid would
reach the blood the more readily.
Second, as TO alkalies. These may be
| given just before meals, w;.en the acid
forming materials in the blood diffus,
into the stomach glands, and after di
gestion is completed, when the alkalie
diffuse directly into the blood, withou

tladst he Aa.pIsss q he Coed TempIars


~ - Efohiptsions
Where prohibition has done tsgrand
work Is among the young men and
boys. To-day in Kansas, the man-be
he young or old, who sells liquor as a
beverage, or who drinks it rs q beyer-
age, or in fact, who handles it in any
manner whatever, is completely ostra-
cised from every form Of good society.
He is IA social outcast, and is looked
upon as. unfit for ladies and gentlemen
TO associate with on intimate terms. 1t
is upon the young men, Of course, that
this has its greatest effect; for when a
young man finds that a certain form Of
self-gratifcation is causing him to loose
the. respect Of the ladies of his
acquaintance, he is almost sure to for
sake that indulgence. II not from a
desire to morally improve himself, he
will do SO that others may respect and
receive him as their equal in their So
cial circle. The man who sells liquor
as beverage, even under the shield OF
an application" is branded as GRIM
inal, and many who winked at his mis-
deed before prohibition became a
law, will not do SO now, for fear OF the
social result, if the seller should be
caught and convicted. To use a COM
mon phrase society has "sat down.
upon liquor selling and drinking be-
cause prohibition has made it a crime
and society does not recognize whisky
drinking criminal as any better thar
other criminal. When young man
wishes to abstain from drinking, the
temptations are almost entirely removed
by the closing of the open saloons
standing treat" looses all its charms
when the donor is compelled to sign {
false statement to procure the liquor
and then call his friends into some va
cant outbuilding, barn or cellar in or
der to enjoy the treat. The young mer
who follow that course are becomint
fewer every year. AS many a young
man has remarked to me "the pleasure
of drinking liquor is in the surround
ings." Removing these enticing sur
roundings and the charm iss gone. To

Because the laws do not enforce them
selves. It is not the private citizens
business to enforce laws; courts and
officers are maintained for that purpose.

have been too often 'bully boys" How
about the "bully boy?" The saloon is
