By CAGRIE au.AKE MORGAN.

I sought an apple. red and ripe,
IN its nest OF living green.
But II hung on my neighbours pippin tree,
And there was a fence between.
Can you tell why that apple red
Looked redder and ripper to me
Than any that grew on my own domain,
And hung on my " pippin treeY
My heart went out to a m sweet.
And fair. and pure and serene.
But she strolled on another man 5 lawn, and ]
Found . very high fence between.

The tobacco bill. smoking and

He bases his Judgment on the
amount sold last year by one of oul
leading grocery establishments, add.
ing to that the probable amounts
sold by other houses. While both
the editor and Mr.. w. plead guilty
to furnishing their quota toward
this large aggregate, both also regret
the fact and wish the $4,000 were
expended for nobler uses. Oh, for
a little more moral courage.-Nr-
million Republican.
Father Whitaker and the writer
agree perfectly on this proposition.
Scores Of beardless boys are chewing
and smoking on our streets every
day, whose very life is being sapped
by this filthy habit. 1t is alarming
to what an extent tobacco is being
used by the young and by those
who were never known to hoe a hill
of corn, chop a stick of wood, or in
any other manner earn an honest
dollar, and just here is where our
farmer friends spend many a dollar
that could be put to better use. No
one should cry oppression very
loudly that pays a tobacco bill of
from $50 to 500 per annum.

QUEEN VICTORIA.
What She Drinks Why the Court
Physician Recommended 1t.

The London World has been making an in
vestigation of what the queen drinks and has
ascertained definitely that, upon the advice of
Sir William Jenner, she drinks whiskey diluted
in water. This is for the purpose of retaining
her vigor, renewing her strength and prolonp.
ing her life The whiskey which she drinks is
obtained from the distillery on her own Bal.
moral estate, and of course is perfectly nura
Thus the World offers valuable suggestion in
this fact: England's sovereign drinks whiskev
under the recommendation of the court phvsi
clan and on account of its medicinal properties
and she drinks it absolutely pure, having it
distilled upon her own estate. These facts prove
two things: First, that all modern medicinal
science demonstrates the superior value of
wh1skey for sustaining the health and prolong
ing the life; and second, that it must be abso
lutely pure. The leading American physicians
and chemists have indorsed these views con-
stantly and emphasized the necessity of having
whiskey that is absolutely pure The best
medical and chemical talent in America has
shown conclusively that no whiskey known in
the market is so pure as Duffy's Malt 1t is
wholly free from fusel oil, it is unlike all other
for the health of the community. So true is
this, that while many temperance people
denounce WHISTLES and liquors in general they
acknowledge the superior merit of Duffy's
Malt, and use it incidentally continually. Great
care should be exercised however to secure
no other no matter how hard a dealer may
seek to sell YOU something else.
