Josh SPLITS New Drink, and How He
Came to Adopt 1t.
"Boys, | won't drink without you
take what do" said old Josh Split,
in reply to an invitation. He was "a
topper of long standing and an abundant.
capacity, and the boys looked at him
in establishment.
1.-The idea," one of them replied,
chat you should prescribe conditions
is laughable. Perhaps you want to-
force one of those abominable mixtures,
on us. You are chief of mixed drinks,
and won't agree to your condition.

and brandy" said the judge, who
would willingly have taken the oil to.

Take my drink, I'm with YOU"
The boys agreed and stood along the,
bar. Every one turned to Split, and
regarded him with interest.
'Mr Bartender" said Split, ''give.
me a glass of water"
"What, water" the boys exclaimed.
Yes, water. It's new drink to.

article. Lemme tell you how l came
to take it. Several days ago, as a pas
sci of us went fishing, we took a fine
chance of whisky along, an had q
heap of fun. Long toward even l got
powerful drunk, an crawled under a
tree and went to sleep. The boys
drank up all the whisky an came back
to town. They thought it a good joke
cause they'd left me out there drunk,
and told it around town with mighty
buster. My son got hold of the report
and told it at home. Well, l laid I'M
der the tree all night, and when /
woke in the morning there sot my
wife right thar by me. She didn't
say word when woke up; she sorter
turned her head away. She still didn't
say nothin', but l could see that she
was chokin'.
"'I wish had suthing to drink,

full an fotch it to me. Jess as she
was handin' it to me she leaned over
to hide her eyes, an l seed a tear drop
in the water. 1 took the cup and
drunk the water and the tear. an
raisin' my hands, vowed that would
never drink my wife's tears again;
that had been drinking them for the
last twenty years, and that was go
ing to stop. You boys know who it
was left me drunk. You were all in
the gang.

Old Farmer Boggs, of Doggy Brook,
Went to the County Fair,
And with his wife, he strolled around
To see the wonders there.
'That horse, he said, "Grey Eagle Wing,
win take the highest prize;
But our old Dobbln looks as well
And better TO my eyes.
He is, know, what folks call slow,
It's far the safest way to go;
Some men, perhaps, might think it strange,
l really should not like to change.
Sand those fat oxen-Buck and Bright
Don't have so large girth,
Nor match like them, just to a hair,
But know what they're worth.
They're good to pillow, and good to draw,
You stronger pullers never saw,
And always mind my gee, and haw.'
Some folks, perhaps, might think it strange
] really shouldn't want to change"
''That Devon heifer cost, heard,
A thousand dollars; now
Said Mrs. Boggs, my Crumple Horn
Is Just rs good a COW;
Her milk, I'm sure the very best
Her butter is the yellowest;
Some folks perhaps, might think it strange,
] really shouldn't want to change.
''Those premium hogs"-said Mrs. Boggs,
'My little Cheshire pig
Is better than the best of them,
Although he's not so big
And that young Jersey is not half
So pretty as old Brindle's calf;
Nor is there in the poultry pen,
AS Speckled Wings so good a HEMP
AS Farmer Boggs to Boggy Brook
Rode homeward from the Fair,
He said: II wish my animals
Had all Of them been there;
And if the judges had been wise
might have taken every prizer'

Hang on tight. I'll save you yeti" And
save him he did, although with great
difficulty.
1t was an exceedingly humble and
shivering little boy that Harry hatfield.
half-carried home to Mrs. Benton.
That night, when the rescued child
was tucked up in his warm bed, his
kind mother sitting beside him, the
latter was startled by burst of sobs,
and low, remorseful cry: "Oh, moth
er!"
"What is it, Arthur dear?" Mrs.
Benton asked, tenderly. docs your.
back pain You so much?"
"Oh, mother! I've been the meanest
boy under the sun. Harry ought to,
have let me DROWN" and then, with bit
ter tears, he told the tale of his cruel
prosecutions. Mrs. Benton listened
with sorrow and joy-sorrow because
of her boys past unkindness, and Joy
on account of his penitence.
The next morning Hary's father
was sober, and under reaction from
drink, was thoughtful and somewhat
inclined to self-reproach.
Then there came a rap at the door,
and a message was delivered. Harry's;
face frightened as he read the boyish
note of Arthur's.
ooh, motherI' Harry said, "he's.
asked me to forgive him, and he's aw-
fully sorry he ever called me names;
and he says his mother says you are

Harry had forgotten his father was
within hearing, and he flushed guilty.
and stopped talking when he became
conscious of it.
Considering father what?" de-
manded Mr.. Woodruff.
Never mind-father- didn't think

"Out with it this instant! what did
that boy say?"
There was no help for it; it must.
come: "Since you had-forgotten-to

Forgotten to protect FOrgotten-

Der, even now--eUen @ol0." The poor
man fell upon his knees in an agony of
remorse. Then, after his importunate-
pleading, light came, and peace such
as no pen can portray.
Days passed, prayer was heard in
stead of cursng, and look of JOY was
in Mrs. Woodrutf's eyes as she said to.
Harry: at seems like Heaven upon
earth to see this change in father. y

TEMPERANCE READING.
TOTAL ABSTINENCE,

A Little Speech for Little Boy.
Perhaps you think little boy
Can hardly understand
The message that the Temperance folks
Would send through all the land.
But this know, that want and woe
In drunkards' homes are found;
And places where they buy their drinks
Are open all around.
For liquor, and tobacco, too,
More money goes, they say,
Than all the people in the land
For bread and meatnow pay.
Some think little does no harm,
1t makes them feel so nice;
But an it is more dangerous
Than skating on thin ice.
A little makes you soon want more;
And more and more you crave;
At last, to alcoholic drinks
You find yourself a slave.
The chain begins to bind your soul
When first you take a drop;
Before you take a single drink,
That is the time to stop!

BAD PAPER MONEY.


The Most Reliable way of Detecting a
Counterfeit Bill.
A bank cashier tells that the best
way to tell counterfeit bill is by sound
and feeling. Take the bill firmly be-
tween the thumb and index-fnger of
your left hand and pull itquickly through
your fingers like this. Now listen to the
sound it makes. 1t is not just like rub
bling silk, and neither does it resemble
a paper sound closely. It's noise that
is too peculiar to admit of descrip-
ton"
''Do they make counterfeit paper so
near like the original that you can't
tell the differenceP"
"You can't tell by looking at it. It
is only by the sound and touch. Now
listen to the sound made by this
counterfeit twenty dollar bill. You
see, that's a slick noise, something like
pulling glazed or oiled paper through
the fingers. A child could tell the
difference between that bill and a
genuine one. But look at it and you
will think your eye is on something
that would pass muster for twenty dol
lars worth of groceries"
"Who taught you this businessp"
80, my first lesson was given by an
old man who has been all over this
country and Europe teaching the bust
ness. He has in his possession over a
thousand specimens of counterfeits.
He obtained them from the authorities
of the different Governments. He has
no peer in the business, and every ex-
pert in the country owes his knowledge
to this old man. "-RanSas city Star.

LAUNDRYMAN AND LOVER.
Another Member Of the Chinese Lee Fam
lily Wins . Yankee Bride.

HARTFORD, Conn, May 2l.-The
Chinese Lee family must have fond
ness for American wives. While the
thoughts of many are directed to the
baby girl of Yam 2hon Lee and his
American bride of year, who reside in
New Haven, the gossips of this city
are busy discussing the approaching
marriage of another Chinese Lee and a.
Hartford school ma'am. The prospect
i've groom bears the symbolic name of
Wah, although of late his sweetheart
has endeavored to Americanize him by
instructing him to sign himself W. Lee.
He is proprietor of a laundry. He has
been in this country about twelve years.
A few years ago he was converted to
the Christian religion in a New York
mission, and off went the pig-tail He
then drifted to Springfield, where he
joined a Baptist church. He has lived
in this city nearly two years, and is a
regular attendant at the South Metho-
dist Church.
His hair is jet black, glossy and cut
in the latest style, and he sports little
mustache. He dresses in the fashion,
and but for his broken speech would
pass in any society. His cousin and
companion, Yen Lee, is studying for
the ministry at Moody's school. The
lady who is to become Mrs. Lee is Miss
Ida Spaulding, teacher, who has been
studying at the State Normal School
Miss Spaulding became acquainted
with Wah Lee in her work in the Chi.
nese Mission of the South Methodist
Church.

DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE.
The House Passes the Bill for New E1-
ecutive Officer.

WASHINGTON, May 2l.-In the
House to-day Mr.. Hatch, of Missouri,
from the Committee on Agriculture,
moved that the rules be suspended and
the Lili passed to enlarge the powers
and duties of the Department Of Agri-
culture and to create an executive
department to be known as the De-
partment Of Agriculture. 49,. .
Mr.. Herbert, of Alabama, opened the
provisions of the bill transferring the
weather service of the United States
Signal Service Bureau from the War
Department to the new Department Of
Agriculture. The purpose of the
measure was to dismiss the present
officers of the bureau and to provide for
new organization composed entirely
of civilians.
Mr.. Blount, of Georgia, could see
nothing in the bill which would bene-
fit the farmers or promote agriculture.
Mr.. Oates, of Alabama, asserted that
the bill would not increase the agricul-
tural productiveness of the country a
single hill of beans, but would only
create additional offices for politicians
to fill.
The motion to suspend the rules and
pass the bill was agreed to-yeas 29S,
nays 13.
The following is the Negative vote:-
Messrs.ii s.iiBloun5, Breckenridge of Arkan-
sas, Breckenridge of Kentucky, Buck
allow, Cummings, Dargan, Hall, Her
bert, Morse, Oates, Rogers, Tllman,
and Turner of Georgia.
The bill creates an executive depart
ment to be known as the Department
of Agriculture, under the supervision
and control of a secretary of agricul-
ture, and provides for the appointment
of a first assistant secretary Of agricul-
ture. 1t also transfers the weather
service of the United States Signal
Ser, ice Bureau from the War Depart
ment to the Department of Agriculture.
