Colonel then went to the hotel to get
his dinner, and about Q o'clock .. m.
the line was formed, and the drinking
commenced. They would go in at the
front door, get a drink, and pass out
at the rear.
About sunset the Colonel went over
to settle the bill, when, to his astonish-
ment, the drinking was still going on
the line had resolved into a ring, and
was repeating; and ever and anon there
would go up a yell, "Rah for Cowper."
He called q halt on the bar tender,
who, knowing the Colonel's ability to
pay, was keeping the glasses filled. He
asked for the amount of the bill. The
proprietor told him lit would take
some little time to count it up, as he
had chalked it down on the side of the
house."
The Colonel asked how many bar
rels they had drank, and was told
about two. He said he would pay for
it at wholesale prices, and it was com
promised for $1I7 so.
Col. Cowper became so Disguised
with the whole affair, that he resolved
to give up the study of the law, i'm
mediaGely packed his trunk, and hired
a man to take him to the railroad
just outside the town, on ascending a
hill, an obstruction was noticed in the
road. The driver got down to see what
it was, and reported that a cart was
bottom upwards. They took hold to
remove it, when a voice underneath
stammered out, "Hic: come in, boys,
free treat-rah for Cowper."
Reaching the station, the Colonel
took the first train for Raleigh, where
he opened an insurance office, and he
is today considered one of the best
and most reliable insurance men, in or
out of the State"

A YARN OF The 0 A
The Merchant Found The Signal Was
No Good on The Return Trip

The Merchant Found The Signal Was
No Good on The Return Trip
"a good story is told of a Chicago
merchant" said the ambassador of a
Greater New York mercantile house.
He had to go unexpectedly to st,
Louis on account of a lame duck, and
meeting a drummer from that ambi
tious and rather gay Missouri town, he
said:
"'How do you fellows manage to get
such cheap fares to distant points7 /
want to go to ST. Louis, but the price
is rather stiff
"'IIl fix that for you,' replied the
drummer. Give me s. and I'll enroll
your name as a member of the T. P. A.
Then you can travel whenever you like
Free
"The merchant gladly handed out
his s., with which his friend secretly
bought him a ticket to st. Louis. He
accompanied him to the train. Now
said he, when the CONDUCTOR comes all
you have to do is to move your hand
across your mouth from right to left
and say "Yuno." He will then know
you are a 7. P. 4 and you will have
no further trouble
"To the conductor, however, the
drummer said: That man with side
whiekers is a harmless lunatic. Here
is his ticket to st. Louis. When you
come around he will make this motion
and say, "Yuno." Just pass him and
say nothing. He likes to believe that
is a mystic pass and which always
allows him to ride free
The plan worked to a charm, and
the merchant marveled at the scheme
which made travel so easy and cheap.
"On his return from st. Louis an
other conductor asked for his ticket.
"'Yuno,' said the merchant, making
the prescribed gesture. The conductor
didn't know, however, and after
several frantic attempts the merchant
had to pay his fare. On his arrival 10
Chicago he hunted up his friend, the
drummer.
Say he cried, what kind of a trick
did you play me2 Why, the plan didn't
work for a cent coming home
"'That's strange replied the other.
You must have made some mistake.
What did you do coming backf'
why, I made the pass with my
hand across my mouth and said
''Yuno."'
Did you move your hand from
right to leftG'
"'Yee, of course
"'Tnat's where you made a blunder.
You see, you were coming back, and
you should have passed your hand
across your mouth from left to right"

HE TOOK TRR HINT.

A daily paper has an account of q
young lady who received a call from
her ''best beau" forenoon, to ar
range for some social event in the near
future. A shower came up while he
was there, so he accepted an invitation
to lunch.
It so happened that she and her
father were running things on a sort of
catch as catch.can system while the
rest of the family we're away for a few
days visit, and the larder was not re-
liable as to needed supplies.
''Now, papa" she said to him i'm
,pressively, those two pieces of pump.
kin pie are all we have. I'll not take
any and don't you say anything more
after you and Charley have each had a
piece. He'll think the omission is just
~carelessness on our part"
But all of poor papa's mental ener-
gies were concentrated on a knotty
business proposition and he didn't
know they had pie till it came time to
eat it.
''This is the only pie for winter use,"
he declared as his piece rapidly van
ished. "You can have all your pas
tries and knick knacks, but give me
the good old pumpkin pie for cold
weather. You'll have another piece,
young man. Plenty more where this
came from and you can't eat enough
to hurt you.
Charley evidently started to accept,
but his cou6tenance suddenly changed
and he could not be induced to have
more. When he was gone she went at
the pater with flashing eyes: "What
did you mean, papa, insisting al you
did after I told you that was all of the
pie we had, and me kicking you under
the table as fast and hard as I could3"
"Why, child, you weren't kicking
me-"
Then she staggered to the lounge and
walled for smelling salts.

For scorch, hang or spread the
article In the sunshine.
For mild8w, lemon juice and sun
shine, or il obstinate, dissolve one table
spoonful Of chloride of lime in four
quarts cold water, and soak the article
until mildew disappears. Rinse very
thoroughly to avoid any chemical &C
ton upon the linen.
For peach stains a week solution of
chloride of lime combined with infinite
patience. Long soaking is an essential.
Grass stains may be removed by
cream tartar and water. After stains
are removed, to keep table linen at its
best, soak in cold water until the dirt
is %loosened, wiring out and put in cold
water with shaved soap and bring
slowly to a boil. Boil twice rather than
rub, as the rubbing wears the fabric.
Rinse out the soap very carefully, and
be careful about the bluing, as much of
the bluing in use contains iron. If a
little Stiffness ia needed, add a little
thin starch to the bluing water, or iron
while very damp, which gives a fee

REMOVAL OF STAINS.

The removal of stains from fine linen
comes within the province Of the wai.
tress who should attend to it before
sending to the laundress. The follow
ing specific directions for various
stains, as recently given in the valua
BILE Waitress Course" at Pratt Insti
tute, might with advantage be pasted
in every housekeeper's scrap book,
while copies clearly written should be
hung up in the kitchen or laundry for
weekly reference:
For fresh tea and coffee stains use
boiling water. Place the linen stained
over a large bowl, and pour through it
boiling water from the teakettle, held
at a height to insure force.
Old tea and coffee stains, which have
become ''set." should be soaked in cold
water first, then boiling.
For chocolate stains use cold water
first, then boiling water from the tea
kettle.
Fruit stains will usually yield to
boiling water; but il not, oxaiic acid
may be used, allowing three ounces of
the crystal to one pint of water. Wet
the stain with the solution, place over
a kettle Of hot water in the steam or
in the sunshine. The instant the stain
disappears, rinse we'll; wet the stain
with ammonia to counteract the acid
remaining. Then rinse thoroughly
again. This will many time save the
linen, which is apt to b%einjured by the
oxalic acid. Javele water is excellent
for almost any white goods. 1t can be
made at home or bought at any drug
gist's, For wine stains sprinkle we'll
with salt, moisten with boiling water,
and then pour boiling water through
until the stain disappears. For blood
stains, use cold water first, then soap
and water. Hot water sets the stain.

pen not only to the patients, but to the
pharmacists as we'll. In prescribing,
the physician, if he is not very careful,
is liable to write an explosive compound
which can blow up a whole block in a
jiffy.
It is customary to write the three in
itiais M. 8. A. below the name of the
last drug mentioned in a prescription.
These letters are the abbreviation of
the sentence, mise secundum Grtem, p"
which meane, mix according to art. "
Certain explosives can be manipulated
without danger, if the rules of chemis-
try are strictly adhered to, and it is the
druggists business to remember that he
is responsible for any accident which
may result from his ignorance. But
the public is not prepared to believe
that single pharmacist would be found
IN st. Louis who would be sufficiently
Ignorant or careless to run the risk of
blowing his own place up. To gain in
formation the writer visited forty drug
stores.
Each one was handed a prescription
calling for a preparation which would
have blown to atoms half a
dozen houses. Two druggists returned
the prescription with thanks, and a
third wanted to consult a chemist
about it. TIE balance raised no obiec
ton, and had it not been for the inter
ference of the customer, who explained
the joke %, there would have been sew
eral explosions in ST. Louis.
In the majority of cases the prescrip-
ton was written in the presence of the
druggist. The formula either called
for chronic acid dissolved in glycerin
or a preparation of tartaric acid, sugar
and chlorate of potassium.
The prescription filters, when ap-
prised of the great danger they had
escaped, attempted to explain that they
would have either changed the ingre-
dents OF discovered the true nature of
the compounds in time. This is doubt
full, however. A young drug clerk par
ticularly was very emphatic, as he said
10 one could teach him anything in
chemistry. The writer has had a great
dee of experience in the laboratory,
and, for that matter, has published
some important chemical works, There
fore he knew that something could be
taught to the young gentleman referred
to. Within half an hour he sent by a
friend the following formula:
Iodine, one dram.
Turpentine, one ounce.
AS OOH as the two ingredients came
in contact in the motor, they took fire,
TO the great astonishment Of the smart
jack chemist, who discovered that there
was something which he did not know,
after all.
To conclude, there is a little story
which will illustrate that a pharmacist
should never be too careful in handling
his drugs. An old prescription com
FOUNDER was in the habit of spending
fifteen minutes in the tedious task of
tieing an ordinary package.R Being
asked why he lost SO much time by a
customer who had called for 10 cents
worth of b~icarbonate Of soda, he an
swered that in doing 80 he had saved
many lives.
by the way" he remarked, sit is a
good thing that I did not hand you this
package without performing my little
routine work. I have just made a
mistake. I gave you arsenious acid
instead of bicarbonate Of soda. You
would have been poisoned sure. st.
