THE MAN WHO COOKS THE GRUB.
We have read In song and story
OF the man behind the gun:
He IL given all the glory
OF the battles that are won;
They are filing up the papers
With hts apotheosis
And they tell about his capers
while th- shells above him hiss.
Bu; behind the grimy gunner.
Steadfast through the wild hubbub.
Stands n greater god Of battles
TITS the man who cooks the grub.
When the sky Is rent with thunder
And the she'll screams through the air.
When some foit is rent asunder.
And Destruction revels there
When the men In line 20 rushing
ON 10 glory or to
With tho maddenod charges crushing
Heroes no are lying low.
There e. one but for whose labors
There could he no wild huhhub.
And the greatest god Of battles
Ia the man who cooks the grub.
What ~ ships with armor plating
What Of castles on the heights?
What OF anxious captains waiting
While the careful gunner sights
What Of al the long-range rifles
What of men with valiant hearts?
These wer" but lmpotent tribes.
But inConsequcntial parts
or the whole. without the fellow
Who must scour. scrape and scrub
For the greatest god OF battles
Is the man who cooks the grub.

the story Of an exciting assault at Larned
Editor Eckert of the TiIer and Toiler, a
Popuist paper. attacked Colonel Wellman
Mansfield in an article. Colonel Mansfield
encountered c. Z. Eckert, the senior edi-
tor Of the Tiller and Toiler, o nthe street,
and without any preliminaries proceeded
to punish him for the insults contained in
the article When Colonel Mansfield made
the first Iunge at Eckert, the latter lodged
and attempted to run, but Mansfield was
too quick for him and he couldn't escape.
The parties then grappled each other and
it wasn't naIf a second before Eckert's
back and head struck the sidewalk with
a duh thud that could be plainly heard
all over the block. Colonel Mansfield be-
ing on top and having Eckerr at his
mercy, he proceeded to administer such
punishment as in his judgment deemed
proper, but was prevented in satisfying
his ambition in this direction to its full
extent 10y the interference Of Messrs. J.
W. Logan and r. c. Welch, who pulled
the colonel off of Eckert and separated
them.
The article which caused the trouble
was entirely graruitous and extremely
abusive and offensive. Colonel Mansfield
is an old man, over sixty while Eckert
is less than thirty years Of age.

A Temperance Victory.

Lady Elizabeth Biddulph, who was in
Cairo when the British forces left for the
campaign up the Nile, stated, at the annual
meeting of the London Society for the
Study of Inebriety, that the glorious vic
tory won by the troops was won by temper
ance men. When the soldiers were leaving
Cairo for camp a whisper went round
among the wives and other friends of the
military men to the effect that Sir Herbert
Kitchener had sent back all the beer that
had been ordered to the front with the sol
diers, and on making inquiries Lady Eliza
beth ascertained that, as far as possible,
all intoxicants were to be excluded during
the campaign. In conversation she had
with Lord Cromer on the subject, his lord
ship said that il beer was allowed In the
camp he was afraid there might not be as
much work done as without its presence,
and when Lady Elizabeth asked: "But what
about the Nile water?" the reply was: eve
have Pasteur filters in the camp, and
plenty Of good tea and coffee, which you
will find our troops able to fight on"
When n Greek merchant was detected
smuggling spirits into the camp, the Sirdar
at once called the men together, and in
their presence poured the liquor, on the
sands. "And," said Lady Elizabeth, ga

Beer as q Beverage.

We are surprised to note that some Of
fhe foreign insurance journals have been
copying the absurd conclusions of one j.
Thomann, in pamphlet recently published
in New York, to show by statistical figures
that 'beer is the healthiest drink known"
That writer declares, as the result of his
Investigations, that the "risks incurred in
insuring the lives of habitual beer drink
ers are less by forty per cent than the or
dinary risks of such transactions" Tho
mann simply proves what he did not start
out to prove, that the robust men en-
ployed in the breweries, who drink from
forty to fifty glasses Of beer daily, remain
in robust health for some years by virtue
of their large amount Of vital force and
tenacity; not by virtue of beer, but in spite
of it.
We have closely watched the heavy beer
drinkers in this community with reference
to their mortality ratio for more than
twenty years. and our observations show
that out of every hundred who saturate
themselves in this immo moderate way not
more than five pass the age of fifty-three.
Those that escape Bright's disease or
ur@mic poisoning become victims of cir
rhosis or fatty degeneration or erysipelas
or apoplexy. One or other Of these fatal
diseases invariably gives the finishing
touch to the splendid physique" about
which Thomann rants long, before the pc
riod of natural expectation. If beer
drinkers choose to swill their favorite
beverage, that is one thing; but II they are
led by Thomann's lying statistics into the
belief that beer will proong their lives, or
that life companies can be fooled into the
acceptance of walking beer barrels as
healthy risks, that Is quite another.-Balti-
