ST don't know, my son." replied the
lawyer absently, without glancing up
from the law book which he was pc
rusing. 'Why?"
''They come out of the 'see,' papa, .
the little fellow answered.
''Eh?" the father said, looking over
the top of the book at his son. Come
out Of the sea? Nonsense"
He then resumed his reading while
Johnny, broken-hearted at the manner
in which his joke had been received, re-
tired to the parlor and hid himself I'M
der the sofa. In due course the lawyer
went down town, where some time dur
ing the day the point of Johnny's joke
struck him. It occurred to him that it
was a very bright saying for 7-year-
old, and that is why he carried good
~ package of candy home with him
that night. Johnny will certainly be
president some day.

An Amusing Experiment.

''You wouldn't believe it possible to
blow out candle flame through a
brickbat," remarked a celebrated ply,
Sicist, whose penchant it is to give sci
entific research practical bearing. 1T
can be done, however, and it illustrates
the all-pervasive qualities of air. Most
rooms are largely ventilated through
their walls. and the brick and mortar
are merely very rudimentary lungs,
which take in and throw out the atmos-
phere with little hindrance.
You may try the experiment your
self. Place a candle on the other side
of your brick and use two tunnels, with
the flaring ends on the opposite sides
of the brickbat with the small end of
one in line with your mouth and the
small end of the other trained on the
candle flame. The least breath will
make the light flicker.nnd Il hearty ex-
piration Will extingufSh it altogether.
Try it and see.'

WAS A SOCIETY SPECIALIST.

To the Day of His Death Ward meal
lister Remained a Social Oracle.
The death Of Ward McAlIister recalls
his criticism of Chicago society made
in an article published over his name in
New York paper in April, 1888. He
criticised the civilization Of Chicago
severely. The newspapers of Chicago
were eXasperated into fierce attacks
upon him. Cities outside of New York
were never. tolerant of Mr.. McAllister's
criticism of their form" In recent
years there have been SOmevpretenderS
to McAllister's social throne, but he
was never dethroned. Almost to the
day of his death he continued to be the
society oracle His words of advice OF
criticism carried weight, whether they
were uttered about the great horse
shown which he took deep interest
or about fashionable private recep-
ton.
His book, Society as I Have Found
It." was a burning topic of the fall Of
1890. 1t yielded considerable profit and
subjected the author to a storm Of
scathing criticism. It told too many
truths to suit some people, and others
thought that too much space in it was
devoted to the art of eating. But Mr..
McAlliSter was master of gaStron-
omy. His little dinners will be men,
orable and some of his criticism Of
other peoples dinners will not readily
be forgotten. An old Savannah man
said of McAllister onee: well, he can
give dinners"
Mr.. McAllister had an oddly Of
speech which, whether or not it was
cultivated at first, lately became sec
ond nature to him. 1t was his habit of
interIarding his sentiments with the
expression, Don't you know? Don't
you see? Don't you understands In
spite of all his eccentricities, however
he was popular and lOvable man. He
was sincere. He professed only to be
a specialist in society, and he was q
specialist, brimful Of the information
which he had made his speciality and as
quick and accurate to respond to any
inquiries about any of the 400 in this
country or Europe as q Debrett's peer
age or elite guide.
In his own country and in Europe,
which he visited several times, he made
hosts of friends. His home life was
happy. The only domestic grief he ever
had was the secret marriage of his son,
H. H. McAllister, to Miss Germany, Of
Savannah. There was, however, no
quarrel between the father and son on
account of the marriage, which had
been kept secret from him for five
years. They separated some time ago.

To start the story.

In writing a story, there are authors
who do not plan the course of events
in advance, because they do not know
them; but they write on, certain that
some ingenious complication will sug-
gest itself-in short, the story is to
write itself.
1 confess believe in, and rather fol-
low, this system, for the reason that
the incidents seem more like real life,
where the unexpected so often hap
pens, and where events turn up in ca
PRECIOUS way. However this may be.
l have always found that everything
depends on getting well started-that
is, started with such eagerness and
enthusiasm that you could sit down
then and there and write on and on
to the end.
Others deliberate and potter, as it
were; hover on the brink, hesitating to
make the plunge; the moment of depar-
ture is put off and put off, and when
at last a start is made it becomes a
task and a drudgery, and is virtually
no start at all, because it is so Iabored
and uninspired that you feel you have
not begun.-M of an Author

ait effects attendant on an over-indul-
gance in lager.
Bishop Fallows believes men do not
drink beer-that is, the majority do not
for the alcohol that is in it, nor for the
tipSiness over-indulgence induces. He
maintains that they drink it as beyer-
age simply, and that the drunkenness
is in most cases the result of uninten-
tiOnal excess. He believes, too, that
many slaves of drink have been made
through their first indulgence in what
at the time they thought was a harm
less beverage, but that the alcohol in it,
awakening an appetite dormant in
many and only becoming active rs it
was fed, finally saturated the victim
and reduced him to the pitiable condi-
ton of the habitual drunkard.
Acting on this belief Bishop Fallows

On the left side of the basement as

glistening with the usual glassware and
bottles and decanters exactly similar
to those used in saloons and filled with

Behind the bar are four bartenders, re

On the extreme right of the cellar are

there is no alcohol in it any beer drinker

Speaking of the success of the Home

beer is a wonderful success and that a
brewery is now needed to supply the,
demand.
A remarkably funny incident oc-
Cured on the opening day when 1000
persons visited the place. The beer ran
out at o'clock and a practical joker
whispered to Bishop Fallows that weiss
beer was just as free of alcohol as was
his beerette, and suggested that sup
ply of that be obtained. The sugges-
ton was acted upon, and several lozen
cases hurriedly bought. Customers
who knew the difference between beer
and beerette that afternoon softly
''winked the other eye" after drinking
the weiss beer, and ordered the bishop
to "set 'em up again"

customers began to act astonished the
good bishop, but not an linking of the
real state of affairs occurred to him I'M

Bishop FaI1ows' Belief.


Chicago correspondence:
The ''Home Salon" conducted by Rt.
Rev. Samuel Fallows, D. D., bishop of
the Reformed Episcopal Church, is one
of the recent institutions of Chicago. 1t
is doing a rushing business and is max
ing heavy inroads on the saloon trade
of the neighborhood. 1t has an average
daily attendance of 2,400, and the
bishop himself is frequently on hand
serving foaming glasses of beer and
dealing out hash. kidney stew, pork and
beans as well. But the beer is not the
genuine article. 1t contains no alcohol,
although in appearance and taste it is
a close counterfeit of the standard
lager. Patrons of the place like the
beverage and enjoy a delicious drink
without mourning any of the unpleas-

crossing or road most frequented by
the rodents, SO that its top is flush with
the ground. The cover is then adjusted
on hinges, 50 that it will adjust itself,
if disturbed, and keep its horizontal
line. Earth, beets, carrots, salad leaves
are glued on the cover. The rabbit
will not resist the temptation, and if he
tries to chew some of the delicacies
fastened there he is sure to go into the
trap, while the cover instantly rights
itself ready for the next. AS many as
ten rabbits are caught in single bar

they understood the "Salon" was sell

edged it and was thunderstruck when
they informed him the weiss beer he
was selling contained per cent. of al

he must take out a saloon license. The
weiss beer was thrown into the sewer
forthwith and the house closed while

Africa Needs Railways.

The Paris Figaro publishes an ac-
count of an interview which its Lon
don correspondent has had with Mr..
II. NJ Stanley on the subject of Afri-
can colonization. Mr.. Stanley is
represented to have said in the course
of the interview:
"The future of Africa belongs to
those who shall the soonest and the
quickest act on the simple truth that
what is wanted is railways to bring
travellers back in three days from the
Western Soudan to Algeria. The con.
struction of such railways would not
cost more than So, 900 per kilometer,
and with some Tiraileurs as an nd-
vance guard the Tuaregs would leave
the working parties alone. When you
have 1900 miles OF nayigable water
way on the Niger-that is to say,
great river-.then you will have ivory,
copal, skins, gold, india rubber, ETC.
There is indeed, as great wealth of
resources in Africa as in France, as has
been proved by the results obtained
since 1925 by the English in the South,
where gole, diamonds, and the rest
today bring England in $4,000, 900 q
year.
"Why," Mr.. Stanley is reported to
have continued, ''has France still
done nothing with the Niger, although
you have many French explorers in its
vicinity? The French are very good
explorers, and thanks to them, you
know perfectly the topography of the
country. But how many years will il
be before you know what there /.
underneath9 Surely there is gold
surely there iscoal, perhaps diamond.
