Why, certainly, madam, you can

astonished woman.

Immediately after finishing their
dinner Tom and his chum sailed forth
to behold those much-talked- Ger
to ask from the interpreter where the
best were to be found, but felt sure
they would meet with one before many
streets should be passed.
So on they went for a few squares,
until they came upon a brilliantly
lighted place, filled with trees and
plants, hooks and corners. Officers
were moving about with gayly dressed
ladies, music playing, dear little round
tables every here and there. It was
charming-just what they expected.
Shall we go in and have a glass Of
beer?" said one to the other.

man in uniform and in two seconds

one, and that they had assisted for
a brief space at fete given to the
emperor.
One of the closest friends of the
president-elect says:
'tYou may be sure that there will be
10 temperance foolishness in the White
house under Maj and Mrs. Mckinley,
and no revolutions attempted. They
are both practical temperance people
and by their example and teaching,
have done much good in that way,
but they will not attempt to regulate
the social customs of the people
through pure force of their official and
social positions"
Maj. Mckinley Is not a temperance
man as Senator Sherman is. The lat
ter can drink a glass Of beer and en-
joy it; we'll in fact he is fond of a
cool glass of lager. Yet he rarely
drinks it or anything else Of an intoxi-
eating nature. He always has upon
his table at dinner, both in Mansfield
and here, a bottle of native American
wine, generally of light Kelly island
claret, which he and his family drink
mixed in equal parts with Apollinar1s
water, which makes a very palatable
and refreshing beverage. Mr.. Sherman
is as conservative in his smoking as
In his drinking. He smokes a good
many cigars, hut they are small, free
smoking and the mildest that can be
obtained.
Gen. MabSne used to tell, with a
great deal of glee, of the struggle Mr..
Sherman had with one Of his big,
strong Perfectos when the Ohio states
man was a guest at the house Of the
Nirginian in Petersburg. Sherman
surrendered after a half dozen .puffs.
and went to the door for air. Gen.
Mahone went on smoking one after
another of the big cigars, ending by
chewing the stumps of each. Sherman
would never be ranked as a nervous
man while Malone was little bundle
