Cutter learned the divyv business on the famous santa Fe And followed it with profit with the Copper Companie, So now unto the poodle board this knowledge do l bring:
 And soon you'll know
 How things do go For Solomon pulls the string.
 Dysart- I was raised by pious parents in far off northern land. From the parables they learned to me l always take my stand; That one about the sayant wise is the one like to sing;
 So now you'll know
 How will go When Solomon pulls the string.
 Bailey know its wrong, but then, you know, I'm only one of three. And if I bucked and made fuss it
 would surely ruin me: You see I know just what it is to feel the gormant's sting,

 You pity me While Solomon pulls the string.

A sERMoNETTA ON Etiquette.
ssoh, she's my mothers guest

"Dh, she's my mothers guest"
"No, | needn't trouble myself with her.
She's my sisters company"
Not a bit of it, my dear. Every per-
son who enters the house is in a degree
your company"
OF course, l do not mean that If some
body N to see an especial mem Der OF
your family you are to intrude your prec-
ious self, but if a guest comes to spend sew
eral days she belongs to the whole house
hold, every member of which can do some
thing to make the visit pleasant.
Suppose you should take it upon your
self to see that the friend always has a
glass of fresh water in her chamber at
night; or, if there be no maid to carry it,
the pitcher of hot water for her morning
bath. An occasional flower laid on her
breakfast plate is a very engaging atten-
tion-and a boy does not necessarily pull
flowers up by the roots, does he.
1t would not be thought good FORM to
plump ones lazy self into the most COM
Portable chair when a g1est was present,
nor to whisk into ones seat at the table
when by accident the visitors chair had not
been placed.
But suppose a friend comes merely to
pay a short call? The same rules apply,
only modified. If you are in the room, of
course you viii rise with the others to re-
ceiye her. Nothing can be ruder than for
any member Of the family to continue his
reading or his game without pausing to
greet whomsoever may come. If for any
reason it be necessary for you to leave the
room, a quiet II am sorry that | must ask
to be excused is proper, and allows you
to gang your ain gait"
If your mother be detained in another
room, it is your part to take upon yourself
the entertainment of her visitor. If you
find it hard to converse, generally the older
lady win be ready to speak, and a good
listener is one Of the rarest and most
charming people in the world.
Don't let your eyes go wandering about
the room, but look straight at the person
who is speaking. Nothing is more annoy
ing than to try to talk to some one who is
evidently thinking of something else.
Ten to one you will be thought interest
ing if you will pay marked attention 10
what your companion says.
Did you ever hear of the gentleman who
travelled miles and miles with some one
whom he declared to be ''the most intelli-
gent person" he had ever had the pleasure
of meeting, and never discovered that his
companion, who listened so alluringly, was
deaf and dumbs

AUSIour TEMPERANCE ARGUMENT.

a
From the Washington Post.
M A. Seligson, wine merchant, No. 1900
Pennsylvania avenue northwest, in a converse
tion with q prominent temperance advocate,
who made some remarks Of a rather uncomph-
mentary nature about Miss Kate Fields appeal
70 the American public '.in behalf of temper
snce and the use of California Wines" says:
II claim the honor Of having in an indirect
vay accomplished more for the cause Of tenn
perance in Washington than the most fanaticaI
lecturer has ever done. i refer to the fact OF
being the first to introduce the pure. high
grade American wines in this city about five
wears age. Prior to that time persons and fam
HES who now buy a whole gallon Of Sweet
Catawba for ninety cents, or a gallon OF
Claret or Riesling for a dollar, gallon OF
North Carolina Scuppernong or California
Malaga. Port, Sherry, and Angelica, all sweet
wines for S1.50, or even a dozen bottles of
California Champagne for s12, were absolutely
compelled to use whisky or beer, for the reason
that foreign wines of the quality Of our Ameri-
can wines were far too dear for persons Of mod
crate means OF course / sell Whisky, Gin, and
Rum too, but no low grade goods are ever sold
by me; so that the common, mean groggeries
cannot afford to keep my brands. The price
finest drug and grocery stores and the best ho-
tells and restaurants.
As a general thing find that men who be-
fore introduced the California wines used to
get quart Of whisky for fifty cents and make
that amount for half a gallon of wholesome
American wine which he enjoys in company of
his family without any ill effects of any kind.
This is what Miss Kate Field advocates. and in
stead of being ortracised by temperance people
they should follow in her footsteps.
IL there not reason enough for calling myself
benefactor of the public when I have been
the means Of bringing about such a revolution
In the use of stimulants in so short a time?
II might be so bold as to ask those who
have not yet tried my wines and liquors to give
me call, and if they would only heed my re-
quest you would soon see greater temperance
success than has taken place since the first pro-
hibition act was passed in Maine. Although
my store-room is small, keep full line of
American and foreign wines, liquors, and cor
dials, and only use this as a show and sales
room. One thing will guarantee my patrons,
and that is that everything purchased at my
store is pure and unadulterated. H. A. SELIG-

The Tall Hat Question,


To the Editor Of The EVENING SrAn:
Will you permit an old rider Of the wheel to
add one more to the communications which ap-
peared in last evenings STAR from wearers of
the tall hat as used in combination with a
bicycle. The attack upon them in the interview
published in Thursdays STAR shows a woful
ignorance Of the necessities to which man can
be reduced-necessities which often force him,
much against his will, to violate every canon of
good taste, etiquette and propriety II your
..pionssr wheelman" sees Q dude promenading
the avenue without an overcoat. in q tempera-
turs ten degrees above zero, his feeling is one
of pity for the oyercoatless outcast, and not
scornful contempt. Conversely, should he see a
lady wearing sealskin wrap in August. sym-
pathy for her misfortune in lacking a suitable
garment would be his first and only sensation.
Why does not pioneer wheelman" apply the
same rule Of common Christian charity to the
wheelmen whom he denounces so vigorously,
Let him look at it logically for a moment. No
body who had two hats would deliberately
make guy Of himself by wearing the silk one
while on his bicycle; and therefore the fact
that he does SO wear it brings us to the final
element Of q simple syllogism which proves
that he has only one hat. and demonstrates the
absolute necessity, and consequent propriety,
OF the act in question. Necessity knows no Law;
and should Mr.. Pioneer Wheelman ever have
the misfortune to lose all his (doubtless) large
stock OF hats, except the silk one, he NAV
sometime have occasion, when on his wheel
to wish that the charitable consideration he
now denies to others might be extended to him.
