trnyed Him.
Pour or five Washington pastors were
having a pleasant little meeting the
other afternoon at the study Of one Of
them, and they were having compare
lively as much fun ont Of 1t as TINT
many FOUNDERS would have had at a sa.
loon knee deep In AZ varieties Of tipple.
They were telling Sunday school stories,
as a rule, but they swung around after
awhile to temperance.
''In my youth In Virginia, said tha
host, 1--WE had, what Is rare nowadays--
shabby gentee1 old fellows who went
about the country delivering lectures ON
temperance and getting out Of it only
about so much as would clothe and feed
them Some Of them were no doubt good
and conscientious men, but among them
were many who, notwithstanding their
professions, dearly loved to take glass
of something warming to the inner man
Most of these tipplers were very par
ticular not TO have the rumor get abroad
that they ever tasted the vile stuff, and
when they took their drinks they OBJ
served great secrecy. I remember there
was one whom we thought to be a most
abstemious old fellow, and no one
thought he ever tasted drop, particu-
larly q maiden aunt OF mine who lived
with my mother and was as rigid O
temperance woman as ever came out OF
New England My mother was much
more liberal and wanted always to en-
H..
but my aunt had become so suspicious
of all Of them except this particular one
that he was the only one who could find
nights lodging at our place.
"One night this old chap came to stay
all night, and he had such q severe cold
that my mother prescribed a rubbing Of
goose grease on his feet and toasting Il
in by the fire before he went to bed
Now, as it happened, in the room wher'
he slept there was a new carpet which
my aunt had presented to my mother a
a birthday gift, and there was an OLD
fashioned sideboard IN the same room
with a two gallon Jug of good whish,
ON it. which somebody had forgotten t.
put inside and lock up. At 8 O'Clock thu
black boy carried in the goose grease T.
our guest and left him sitting before tn,
fire.
"Just what happened after that no
body knows but after the guest had de
parted next morning and the servant
went to straighten up the room the,
found tracks innumerable between tn
fireplace and the sideboard, and In som
way it was discovered that the old fel
low, afraid of taking cold, had grease
his socks and toasted the grease into hi
feet through them, and while the toast
ing was going on he made regular an
frequent trips to the jug. OF course,
the tracks on the carpet had not betraye
him, no one would have ever noticed b
the jug that he had been drinking on
OF it. He never came back again, and
don't know whether my aunt was NOR
panied over the ruined carpet or owe
the ruined idol, for she had the creates
confidence In the old man. Washing

Grant and Hancock at . Night Alarm.
When Hancock's headquarters were
reached, the party remained with him
for some time, awaiting the arrival Of
the head Of Warren's troops Hancock's
wound received at Gettysburg had not
thoroughly healed, and he suffered such
inconvenience from it when in the sad
die that he had applied for permission
to ride In a spring ambulapce while on
the march and when his troops were not
in action. He was reclining upon one
Of the seats of the ambulance, convers-
ing with General Grant, who had dis
mounted and was sitting ON the ground
with his back against a tree, whiting
a stick, when the sound Of firing broke
forth directly in front. Hancock sprang
up. seized his sword, which was lying
near him, buckled it around his waist
and cried, my horse, my horseP' The
scene was intensely dramatic and re-
called wildly to the bystanders the cry
of Richard III ON the field Of Bosworth.
Grant listened moment without chang
ing his position or ceasing his whiting
and then remarked: ''They are not fight
ing. The firing is all ON one side. II
takes two sides to start a fight In a
few minutes the firing died away, and
1t was found that the enemy was not
advancing The incident fairly illus
trates the contrast in the temperaments

Board Air Line traverses; and the

Board Air Line traverses and the
enlightened management OF this rail-
road have perceived the economic
value OF cultivated fields and OF
beautiful stations. They have, there
fore, undertaken to give instruc-
itions, and have offered prizes for
certain accomplishments in this di-
'rection. The farmers appear to have
awakened to the educational value
of this novel undertaking, and in
several localities have presented res
olutions of thanks to the company
and expressed their sense of appre-
citation of the value of these object
lessons.
This scheme, which is so very or
iginal in conception, is thoroughly
practical, and is likely to prove a
paying venture to the railroad COM
pany.

Who Paid the Bill.

Rev. DR.. S. G.. Swallow, of Harris
burg, the Prohibition candidate for
State Treasurer, in a speech in Phila-
delpha referred to the Bliss Beer
bill, passed at the recent session OF
the Legislature and signed by the
Governor, which enables brewers,
no matter what their character or
reputation may be. to plant brew
cry in any place within the Com
monwealth without undergoing the
scrutiny of the courts, and then
added:
You have heard Of the S6S.00O
Lexow bill, containing such items rs
4, ZOO kilograms sent by one member
of the Committee and 1913 a day for
hotel accommodations. A Great OBJ
lection was raised to this bill. After
a little while it disappeared. Its
friends said it had been paid. Who
paid iti Go to the brewer and ask
him that.
IF you ask him who paid the $685.

ask him il he helped TO raise this
amount, he will wink his left eye. II
you ask him whether this had any
connection with the Bliss bill, he
