AN AKTI-FAT PREPARATION.
Why Captain White OF the Fire Patrol
DID Not AnDrcciata a Preaent


Did Not Appreciate a Present.
Everybody who knows Captain Russell
White Of the Fire Patrol knows that if he
took place in an exhibition of fat men he
would not be far behind the first prize
winner. The captain is fat and he is jolly
and his partner for life. Mrs. White, is also
stout and she is jolly. Tie captain of late
has come to the conclusion that he is carry
ing too much fat, and he has been trying
almost every known method to reduce his
avordupois, but without success.
Recently he was at one OF the springs try
ing mud baths, and while there met ex-Seu-
ator Fair, who, In kind way suggested
that he ought to reduce bis weight
That's just what I've been trying 10 do"

lighted up his chubby face, that's the
preparation Eve been looking for. What
Is tip"
Never mind: when l go back to the city
I'll send you some"
st the end of his vacation the captain
went to the patrOl-hOuse and there found
case with compliments of James g. Fair
and he at once sent it home with instruc-
lions 10 his vile not TO open 1t antll he came
up. At the house the precious box was
opened and from it was taken one Of twelve

the captain, but he Tec0lected that the eX-
Senator had told him something about
taking a wiDeglassful and swallowing il
down. He procured two WineglasseS, flied
each with liquid from the bottle, and then
landing one to Mrs White took the other
himself, saying at the time. my dear, here,
luck 10 anti-fat; swallow it right down
Two glasses were raised to lips and theii
set on the table. A moment after the car
tain looked at his wife, Mrs. White looked
at the captain, neither spoke word, but
both moved simultaneously toward the
kitchen sink, both lowered their heads, and
in a minute each exclaimed after beaYing a
sigh Of relief, "Wel, Pm glad it's gone"
The captain replaced the bottle in the
box, and he is willing at any time to trans
fer 11B bottles of anti-fat liquid to any one
who wants TO know the effects of seasick-
ness on dry land. He has lost faith ia the

THE ALLIANCE AND POLITICS.

Gen. Viewers Paper Defines Their Pos
sition Relatively to Each Other.
Many people innocently get a wrong
idea of the mission of the alliance
That its principles are political it is
true, but that its aims are partisan is
not true. The mission of the alliance
is education. 1t believes in the divine
injunction to go out into all the world
and preach the gospel unto all men and
unto an nations and then shall the end
come. The alliance does not worry
about what the end will be when the
people shall become educated 1t fur
nisheS the opportunity for free and full
discussion. 1t builds from the bottom,
teaching men to be honest. independ-
ent citizens, work together for their
mutual interests, and vote for just
