GREASING THE GROWER.
A Trick by Which Its Operators Got Goo
Measure for Awhile

A Trick by Which Its Operators Got Good
Measure for Awhile.
| The "growler ruSherS'' of Philadel-
phia by an ingenious scheme have sue
ceeded in outwitting the willy saloon
keepers. The saloon keepers have no.
ticed wonderful and new characteris-
tic concerning the beer they have on
draught. One night stalwart negro,
| black as a coal, came into a saloon
with pitcher nearly big enough to
hold a keg of beer and called for ten
cents wuff"
The barkeeper eyed the pitcher for a
moment, and then proceeded to draw
the beer. To his surprise the beer
would not foam in the lively manner
which heretofore had been its principal
characteristic. No amount of shaking
and sloshing around would make the
amber-colored beverage assume 4
frothy appearance, and before the bar
keeper could realize it the pitcher was
trimming full. The negro remarked in
an off-hand manner:
Dat beer done looks dead an flat.
but laik dat kline mahself."
With that the barkeeper handed him
the pitcher. and the grinning darby
walked out of the room. He was met
just around the corner by half dozen
other dusky citizens, all carrying pitch
ers, and at once divided up.
1t was noticed that the beer imme-
diately came to life when it was poured
out of the big pitcher, and the colored
rascals laughed immoderately as the
creamy foam ran down the sides of the
vessels they were carrying. Directly
after this another customer walked
into the same saloon, and the beer was
found to draw all right.
Here was mystery indeed, and it
took two long weeks to solve it. The
saloon keeper in the vicinity ALWAYS
noticed that the beer would not foam
when put into pitchers carried by GER
tain colored individuals. AS result
these same persons got about fifty
cents worth of beer and paid only ten
cents for it.
An investigation was started, as the
saloon keepers knew that some trick
was being played upon them. No solu-
ton was arrived at, however, until Fri
day, when colored man under the in
fuence of liquor told how the scheme
had been worked.
1t seemed that the plan consisted in
simply greasing the inside of the
''growler" with butter or piece of fat
meat. When slis is done no amount
of gas or agitation will put the proper
head on beer. The discoverer of it
reaped a rich harvest by selling the
secret of it to other ''growler workers."
and as a result, the saloon keepers
have been victimized - PHILADELPHIA

Beth's father and l became good
friends, and he coached me we'll in

Formation of Character.

Habits of industry, attention, regu-
larity, order, obedience should be
formed long before the child can I'M
derstand their import or know why
they should be practiced. Gradually
he will come to see their value, and
will continue to observe them from
other and better motives which at first
could have had no effect. Just as we
teach him to walk or to read, simply by
causing him to make the appropriate
effort repeatedly, until it becomes easy
and natural, so good moral habits must
be formed by the same process if the
character is ever to acquire stability

attorney for the Kansas City Sunday Sun.
who for the past few weeks has been in
Dallas attending to the Suns legal bust
ness. is in jail charged with
perjury. At the time of Eugene
Johnson's trial Strohm testified
in the witness stand that the article appear
ing in the Sun over Johnsons name was
written in Kansas City by Preston, the
editor of the Sun, and that he (Strohm)
saw him write it. Later developments
have come to light which led to the belief
that the article was wired to the Sun from
Fort Worth. The grand jury took up the
matter and on investigation indicted
Strohm, aud late tonight he was arrested
and locked up. The grand jury also in
picted j. c. Calhoun, the attorney who as
sisted Strohm in the johnson trial. Cal
houn's Indictment was for circulating
ibelous matter, and he, too, is in Jail.
The Sun representatives have certainly
