TURKEYS GEESE AND THINGS

A funny story is going around IN
explanation of that Thanksgiving
poultry scoop which Humboldt got on
lola. 1t will be remembered that
several farmers who generally trNde
at lola hauled their turkeys to H.: T.
odldt and got cent or two more 9r
them than lola was paying. The
STORY explains this as au arrangem' t
g9ne into by the merchants in , r
sibter city whereby the mercha, rs
agreed to pay cent and quartet f
the difference in price to local de T.
err who was to take all the poult 4.
The merchants expected, of Z rrseP ,
get their money out of the farm TT
who sold the poultry, by selling ftl
goods. 1t was good busin 3
scheme and speaks well OF the pul @
spirit of the Humboldt merchai !.
Like all we'll laid schemes of nice
and men, the outcome was disastrous.
An lola mercant heard one of the men
who went to Humboldt say that his
wife got the money for the poultry
at Humboldt, then drove to lola, ard

and the pile of goods in the wa gen
substantiated the story.
Such is the story and 1t re ads
straight and started from a pretty
straight source. There is nothing in

fore laughable. A. stated before, il
the merchants did gree to divide the
loss it was o MOLE purpose. How
ever that may be, lola played even
Yesterday, when Mr.. w. 8. Rose,
who lives south of Humboldt drove
to lola with load of tifty-five geese
and sold them here.
1t is merry little war for trade
and the farmer is the man who gets
to laugh both ways.

ARMY OF DRUNKARDS.
1t Is Being Constantly Recruited
from the Ranks of Moderate
Drinkers.

Rev. A. p. Doyle, in an address de-
livered at Philadelphia recently, spoke
of the terrible effects of intemperance
and impressed on the audience that it
is the mother of most of the vice and
degradation that exists; how the bright
and promising life was marked off as a
failure by reason of drink; how the
parent, who was looked to with depend
ence by wife and children, became even
unable to help and assist himself; how
the one with the best of promises and
expectations was cast upon the shore of
life a wreck and all his hopes and am
billions cast aside.
The one most blamable for this con-
dition of affairs is the moderate drinker,
because it is from the ranks of the mod
crate drinker that the vast army of
drunkards are recruited. 1t is the oc-
casional taking of the glass that leads to
the habitual indulgence in it, The mod
crate drinker of to-day is the drunkard
of tomorrow.
He said that he feared that the people
did not stop to consider the terrible eff
fects of drink and how farreaching it
was in its influence. Seventy-five thou
sand people year die as the result of
drink. Bringing that down to an hourly
subdivision people would be appalled,
to consider that within the hour that he

would speak to them eight persons
would die in this country as result of
drink. He urged his hearers to come
with him in thought to the rivers,
where the suicide was cast, to the sa-
loon where the murder was committed
and to the hospital where the maniac
lay, to witness the manner and form in
which those afflicted by excessive drink
ing passed out Of the world. Not only
did it mean the wrecking of temporal
hopes and earthly ambitions, for by his
death-a drunkard-all hopes of a flu
ture happy state were cast aside, and
there could be but the one conclusion
reached by the person who died from
drink, for there was the one punish
ment stated for those who died drunk
ards death.
He urged the parents to associate
themselves with the movement, for by
it they would do much to save their
children from the temptations of the
world. The great danger that the child
had to confront was that of drink, and
an early association in a total absti-
nence society would do much to guard
the child against this evil and strength
en- him against the danger of in later
years becoming addicted to the habit.

DEFEATING A PRIVATEER.
An Interesting Incident In the Early
Naval Career of Famous
British Seaman.

The New England privateer contests
in the long ago gave a distinguished
officer of the royal navy his first oppor-
tunity. Charles Wager was the nephew
of John Hull, Newport merchant. He
was with his uncle in one of his YES
sells when she was threatened by
French or Spanish privateer. There is
a well-attested tradition that Wager,
only lad, but high-mettled, persuaded
the peaceful, nonresistant owner to re-
tire to the cabin and give him control of
the vessel.
Charles mustered the crew--they
were always armed-and handled them
so bravely and skillfully that the at
lacking party was batfled. The old
Quaker's anxiety prevailed over his
principles, and, coming into the COM
panionway, he stood taking snuff and
watching the fight. AS he was below
the level of the combatants, he could
well see the effect of the firing.
His interest grew and his excitement
waXed high as the contest went on. He
took pinch after pinch of snuff in most
wasteful fashion; his usually immacu-
late waistcoat became recklessly pow
dered. Finally he cried out:
Charles, if thee means to hit that
man in red jacket thee had better
raise thy piece a little!"
The attack was repulsed and the gal
liant Charles was commended by his
uncle with: Thee did well, Charles.
thee did well, but fighting is wrong.
Still, Charles, if thee had let them whip
L could have flung thee overheard"
Through his friends Wager obtained
a post in the royal navy, ending his
honorable career as Sir Charles Wager,
first lord of the admiralty. and finally

TIME FOR A PLEA OF GUILTY.
State of Iowa Against Him
Old Age Fiction.

An Iowa judge was telling stories in
a hotel lobby. and he related an anus
ing incident that had occurred in his
court when a colored man was brought
up for some petty offense. The charge
was read, and as the statement 1.-The
state of Iowa against John Jones" was
made in loud voice the colored man
eyes bulged nearly out of their sockets
and he seemed perfectly overcome with
terror and establishment. When he was
asked if he had anything to say he plead
ed guilty or not guilty he gasped out:
well, yo' honoh, eff de whole state O.
Iowa is agin this one pore niger, Use
gwine to give up right now."
Not once out of a hundred times can
an old colored man tell you his age, and
even if he knew he would be more than
apt to make himself out much older
than he really is. After middle life they
all seem to feel that it adds dignity and
much increases their merits and value to
be considered extremely old. The alb
surdity as to statements of length of
years lived never strikes them. In q
southern family which always spends
its winters in Washington lives an old
man named jeff, who has beer with
them and the previous generation for
more years than they can RENE mber.
He is certainly pretty old himself, so his
mistress was rather surprised this win
ter when he asked to have a few days
off to CO. as he put it, ''up to de ole state
of New Haven" to see his aunt
why, jeff said the lady, your aunt
must be old, isn't she?"
"Yes'm," he replied, "yes'm, my aunt
must be pretty ole now-she's about a
hundred an five years ole now"
"A hundred and five years" exclaimed
the lady, why, what on earth is she do
ing up there in New Haven?"
Deed, don't know what's she's do
in, ma'am," rejoined jeff in all serious.
