A BLUFF.
After Which He Lost No Time Looking Up
That Word.

A man with stopped shoulders and s.
general air of lassitude strolled into the
editorial rooms the other afternoon. He
found a pale faced young man busily en-
gagged in cleaning brier pipe.
Good day." said the stoop shouldered
man.
"HowdyT' said the other.
The stoop shouldered man coughed a
couple of times and then said nervously,
Il just came in to say that I've been a
subscriber to this paper for good many
years, and this morning l noticed that
you used the word 'apotheosis.
"Well," said the pale faced young man,
''what of it? That's a good word, isn't
it?"
ooh, certainly, certainly" replied the
visitor. Its good word-a very good
word. But, you see, was brought up
in poverty, and I didn't have a chance
to get an education. There are lot of
things l don't know. 1 just happened
to be going by, and thought 1 would
drop in and ask you what that word
meant"
The pale faced young man ceased OPP
erations on his pipe and looked at the

possible" he finally said, that there is
a man or woman or child in this fair
city who does not know what that word
means? l cannot believe, sir, that you
are speaking earnestly to me. You must
be joking"
The stoop shouldered man blushed
painfully. "Of course he stammered,
Il think l know what it means; but, you
know, didn't have much of chance to
go to school. Come to think of it, though,
I am perfectly sure l know what it
means"
"Well," and the pale faced young mans
air was very patronizing, Il thought you
knew better than to ask such a question.
Good day, sir.
The stoop shouldered man turned and
went out into the hall. AS the door
closed the pale faced young man dropped
his pipe and shouted: Jimmy! Oh, JIM

A small boy put in his appearance,

carefully concealed. The favorable result of
this policy was felt very soon, and have lived
long enough to see the day that bless God for
having used me as his instrument in securing
prohibition for Maine.
Empty jails and empty work houses followed
in the wake of prohibition in Maine. In many
of the rural districts of the state can well re-
member having seen the ITO Let" sign tackled
upon jais and warehouses four months after
the Maine law was enacted. If the liquor traf-
fc could be entirely eXtinguishcd, there would
be very little poverty and suffering Ill the land,
and the people of New York would not have to
furnish bread for the needy.
~ General Dow writes that the first illus
tration of the beneticent effects of the
law that h., knew of came under his OBJ
servation about 10 days after its enact
ment. There was an eccentric old farm
er of the name Of Eliakim Libby who
used to pass BOWS house in Portland
once a week on his way to and from
market. He was called Like Libby by
his Portland acquaintance, who sin
cerely believed he could drink more APP
plejack than any 10 men in Maine. He
made a regular practice Of going home
gloriously drunk ON market day, and no
one who knew him could remember
when he had returned in any other con-
dition. The mayor had frequently seen
him drunk and knew of the habitual
regularity of his market day sprees. One
day soon after the passage Of the pro-
hibitory law, however, Like drove by
and called out to some member Of BOWS
household who was in sight:
Look a here! You tell Neal Dow
that Like Libby is going home sober for
the first time in 80 years"

The Champion Cycling Club.

The New York Athletic club has received
official recognition as the champion bicycle
club of the world, having been accorded the
privilege by the League of American Wheel
men of holding the Saltonstall internation-
al trophy. The L. A. w. passed rule
granting to the club in the United States
which should win the most points in COM
petition the right of holding the trophy for
one year. The first competition for the prize
was held last summer at the Worlds fair
tournament and was won by the United
States. Zimmerman, carrying the New
York Athletic clubs colors, gained the
largest number of points, and consequently
the Mercury foot organization has been
awarded the trophy.
The next competition for the trophy will
take place at the international tournament
in Belgium during the coming summer.
The trophy will have to be sent there, and
