A Reformed Drunkard.

New YORK, July 1O-Speaking again
today of his treatment of Debs for dip
somania, DR.. Robertson said When
Debs came to me he was a physical and
mental wreck. He had STEPPED himself
in drink. But he hao been a brilliant
young man and used every effort to
save him and succeeded, but no man
who has been shattered as he was can
endure such strain as he is now mt
ting upon himself. If he does not de.
sist, the only result can be that after
causing incalculable misery and blood
shed he will fail, and then, to drown
his failure, he will go off on, a terrib,l
spree. and--well he will be ruined

THE PRESS PORTFOLIOS.
No. Z of Wild Flowers of America Has
Been Received.

No. Z of the Wild Flowers of America
series is ready for those who desire it.
Among the flowers shown in this num-
Der are several which are now in bloom
in this locality. With these portfolios
the summer outing may be made more
entertaining and more complete knowl-
edge obtained of the beauties of nature
in the botanical line at the same time
Every year has it's fad, especially among
summer tourists Sometimes it is an ex-
pensive fad, such as the collection of
souvenir spoons, sometimes it is auto
graph hunting; and SO it goes. This
year the indications are that the most
popular fad will be the collection of the
wild flowers of the district in which one
fad thatshas been in vogue for many
years. 1t costs nothing, III the first
place, it leads to the very rambles which
are most enjoyable, permits sociability,
ard is, indeed, made more delightful
by the presence of others; it makes one
acquainted with all the romantic hooks,
winding streams, lakes and crags of the
neigh borhood, and it can be taken up
anywhere with results that will surprise
everyone The whole country is carpeted
with flowers, upon. which the gentle sun
shine treads like bride through the
portals of the year, yet scarcely one per-
son in a Thousand has the faintest con-
ception of the number of different beau
ties which are awaiting the coming of
their lover. Deep in the silent haunts
of giant trees, gracefully bending to
hear, the whispering wind, standing soli-
tary upon the edge of some crystal pool
far from the haunts of man, or. perhaps,
struggling into existence even amid the
disagreeable dust of some commonplace
country road, these flowers await the
devotees of the new fad. Never before
has fad had such glorious results to
realize, aud never before has fad been
able to give to those who took it up
such graud, such glorious, such most
generous gifts as the fad of gathering
wild flowers. On no other continent in
the entire world could ID fad like this
hope to reach SO rich a harvest. The
field is SO new, the faddiest will find him
self confronted by SO vast variety of
beauty that it will be the most astonish-
ing thing that fashion has ever faced.

STATE TOPICS OF INTEREST.

An example of an old superstition en-
Joying vigorous and otherwise green
old age is cited by the Phillips Phono-
graph. One of the visitors to the lakes
called on a family living in that vicinity
aud found them churning, an operation
that had been going on three days with
out success. The visitor told them the
churn was bewitched and advised putting
an old horseshoe in the churn, which was
done, and the butter came on the fourth
day. Pity new horseshoe wouldn't
have answered, but after churning three
days one is likely to become reckless.
