Two Kegs Of Rum.

Late n autumn a whaler on her return
voyage brought up in front OF q populous
village on an island In the northern part OF
the Behfing Sea. A lively trade ensued
with the natives, who were anxious to make
their bargains quickly and go in pursuit OF
the walrus which are now passing, and
which every year provided the winters food
supply. But In addition to the legitimate
articles OF trade, a couple OF kegs Of strong
rum were put ashore. and the schooner
sailed away for San francisco with all the
wealth Of the village.
BY the time the natives had finished the
rum, and got over Its effects, the walrus
had passed. there was no supply OF food
put up for the winter, and ice was begin.
ming to drift In the sea. The result was
Inevitable. The next whaler that called at
the island was able to take home an inter
esting collection OF bones and skulls Of the
Eskimo type to an chronological institution,
but there was no man, woman, or child left
alive to tell the story OF starvation and
death.--From Through the Subarctic Forest

thinly clad, who came for a pint OF beer.
They had scarcely got outside the saloon
door hen the INT that carried the tin pail
lifted it to her lips and took a draught.
Then her companion enjoyed a few swal-
lows. A little farther on they entered a
teneEent-house hallway, and both again
took q sip.
81 have lots Of such customers, . said the
bartender. sGlrls and boys and women
form half our trade. We call 1t family
trade. 1t pays our expenses. But / tell
you what-half tho children who come here
drink. That's how drunkards are made.
Their parents send them for beer. They
see the old folks tipple, and begin to taste
the beer Themselves. Few Of the children
who come in here for beer or ale carry a
full pint home. Sometimes two or three
come instogether, and II you'll watch them
you'll hear them begging the one who car
rles the pail for a drink. We must sell 1t,
however, when their parents send for It.
We are bound to do so. Business Is BUSH

Liquor prlnking and The bicycle.

At the close OF tho League meeting OF
American Wheelnen In Philadelphia the
Times Of that city had an article from
which we clip tho following
ut may BIO only coincidence that during
tho year in which the use OF the bicycle
Increased almost IN geometrieai rogres-
sion tho consumption Of liquor in this
country decreased TO q wonderful extent;
but II looks very much as IL there wera
some relation between tho two facts. That
this liquor habit Is growing weaker among
the American people ~ shown by the re-
cont statement OF tho Commissioner of In
ternal Revenue that during the past year
there has been q decrease OF nearly $780,
900 gallons in the consumption Of whisky
and other spirits, and of 1,403, 00f barrels
In the consumption OF beer.
"The bicycle Il the enemy Of the liquor
habit for two reasons: 1t ~appropriates both
for its purchase and for It's use tho spare
money OF the young man that formerly
went lurgelyt to the saioou-keeper, INC It
makes impossible overinduigence In In
toxicatfng drinks, because 1t can be oper-
ated only to advantage by n strong-llmbed
and clear-headed rider. The men who
own bicycles to-day are not the million
hires, but the wage Gamers OF the country,
and their machines were bought from the
money that they we're enabled to save by
economizing In some other direction. Aud
what Is more reasonable than that this
economy should be first put In practice by
cutting of tho luxury OF drlnking7
But the other reason why the bicycle Is
cutting down the consumption OF iiquor-be-
causei 1t Is notthe friend Of weak and sodden
men-is more potent and will be more last
Ing. The athlete In all branches OF sports
nowadays Is eschewing the use Of intoxi-
eating drinks, and the w~heelmen, forming
tho largest bands OF athletes in this coun-
try, must DO given the credit for the great
est decrease In the consumption OF liquor.
There nre some riders who at first think
they can drink deeply and ride strongly Mt
the same time; but they are soon unde-
ceived, and quickly join the great major
lily Of abstainers or light drinkers. The
bicycle has been condemned for Interior
ing with the sacredness of the Sabbath
and for Introducing a laxity in the morals
OF the young, but 1t should be given full
credit for Its assaults upon the excessive
use Of liquor

The Deacon.

"The Deacon" as played by local
talent on Wednesday evening in Cen
tral Hall was very good and apprecia-
ted probably as much as when present
ed before. The characters were all
taken by the same ones with the excep-
taken by Wallace Ballentine, was acted
excellently well. His passion for lem
onade with stick in it" was well put
on. Mrs. Thornton, the deacOns sister
in-law, was ably personated by Mrs. III.
L. Beard. Marcia Beecher filed the
position of Daisy admirably. The
character of GeOage Graef was taken
by J. Nj. Palmer who did exceedingly
well. Bertha Beecher, who acted Miss
Amelia, was perfect in the role of the
old maid and created plenty of merri-
ment. The part of Helen, Mrs. Thorn
toms daughter, was nicely played by
Mertie Kelley. Mrs. Jardine, as Mrs.
Darrah, is good i'm tragedy and perform
ed her part nobly. Her little daughter
Nellie was personated by Ina Palmer.
A. NJ. Johnson, as George Darrah,
seems thoroughly at home on the stage,
and Glen Ballentine as James Reed,
Pedro and officer, for an amateur, act
ed his three parts well. y. W. Fergu-
son makes splendid looking parson,
but his actions belle his looks as his
courage dwindles to nothing when con-
fronted by danger. Billy, the deacons
boy, was presented by Charlie Brown.
Roars of laughter followed his every
appearance, while the cuteness, shrewd
ness and remarkable ability of Pete,
the colored servant brought the house
down. Bert Jardine was Pete and no
one could have bettered the part.
Miss Beecher, Mrs. Jardine and Wal
lace Ballentine were none of them
scarcely able to be present on account
of sickness and they are entitled to
much praise for the efforts they must
have put forth. The male quartette
and the string band took up the time
between acts with bright songs and in
spring strains. The net proceeds of
the evening amounted to $50 which will
go towards paying for the new carpets
to be placed in Masonic hall.
