Cured the Dryness.

Mother-How did papa's new book

dry for him. So put it in the bathtub
and let the water run.

Thought They Had Drank Enough.

Another incident little further back
"a year or two agO-was this: A par
ty of four gentlemen, including two
state officers went to Mr.. Cheney's for
lunch. One wanted lamb chops and Mr.
Cheney went to a meat market to get
them He came back without them
and explained: 'Well. they had some
lamb chops, but they didn't suit me-
The customer then ordered ham and
eggs. While waiting for their lunch
the party ordered drinks, and with the
lunch took three or four bottles of wine.
At about the sixth bottle Cheney re-
belled. Gentlemen, [ think you've
drank enough" he said, calmly and
they could get no more.
Mr.. Cheney never made any preten-
sion to style Everything about his
place is of the best, SO far as neatness
and cleanliness are concerned, but his
furniture is OF the simplest, and the res
taurant is one dining room, with no side
rooms for private parties. The chairs
are plain, wooden ones, the tablecloths
of the old-style red pattern. The bar
adioins the dining room, and there is
large open arch between, but he num-
bers some of the leading Prohibition
lists among his regular customers. 1t
is said he conformed to the excise
laws. ORLANDO BURNETT.

A Restaurant for Statesmen.

Albert Cheney, who will retire May
1, after thirty-one years IN the restau
rant and saloon business in Madison, Il
probably the most independent MAI
who ever did business in Madison. Hl
ST. Nicholas restaurant is one OF tht
landmarks of the city. It has been ii
two or three different locations-in 1T
present one on West Main street abou
twelve years, and has been followed
wherever it went by a clientele of Gus
toners who would go nowhere els'
while Cheney was doing business
Among his customers he numbers mos
of the legislators, state officers an(
prominent attorneys who come to tn
CITY. from the day of Matt III. Carpen
ter down. They were attracted not onl!
hy the excellence of his steaks, chops
oysters and whisky, but also by tn
peculiarities of the proprietor. 1t ha
been often said that no other man coult
do business on the same plan. II
made no effort to "hold trade by pam
pering his customers. An inciden
which occurred only week or two ag'
illustrates. A well-known railroad lob
bvist, whose wife and daughters cam
out to visit him, went to Cheney's witt
them to get dinner. They found tn
dining room nearly filled and the pro
prietor busy. ST can't wait on you
there are too many others ahead o
you." said the proprietor when he cam
their way. Never mind that" sait
the head of the party; 1--WE want a mic
dinner have lots of time, and We'r
willing to wait" A little later Mr.
Cheney came that way again. You
have to go somewhere else" he said
"You can see that can't wait on YOU
"But we're willing to wait as long a.
necessary. Get to US when you can,
responded the would-be customer
well, you'll have to eat somewhere
else: I won't wait on you now, any
way" And they had to go somewher
else, though Mr.. Wiswell is an old frlen'
and veteran customer.

VICTIM OF RABIES.
H. Donovan Dying at His Home Near
Clayton.-Wa at PaSteur Institute But
His Age Prevented a Complete Cure,
and Hydr0phObia Developed.

James II. Donovan is suffering with hydro
phobia at his home near CLAYTON, and Mr..
Donovan also is very i'll, although both re-
turned home only few days ago from the
fAsteur Institute in New York, where thcy
had been under treatment to prevent rabies
Donovan is supposed to be dying. and a
specialist has been summoned from Johns
Hopkins Hospital, Baltimore. The patient is
strapped to the bed tC prevent him fleeing.
The rabies developed Wednesday, when
Donovan complained of cramps.
Later he became worse, and at oncb it was
| apparent that he had been attacked with the
dread allilction. DR.. c. G.. Harmonson, of
Clayton, was in attendance, and he called DR..
j. W. Clifton, OF Smyrna, in consultation.
They relieved Donovan's pain with in
Jections OF morphine and opiates, and did
their best TO Offset the effects of the disease, ,
but were unable to do so.
froth appeared at the victims mouth, and
the sight OF water threw Donovan into great
er paroxysms Of swapping and biting. At
times he appears rational, but was exceed
ingly weak from his exertions.
Mrs. Donovan has developed symptoms of
the rabies and ii is believed she is simply
overcome by the excitement which she has
undergone.
Mr.. and Mrs. Donovan were bitten by q
monSrel dog about a month ago at their
farm, and fearing that the animal was mad
they immediately went to the Pasteur Insti-
| tutc to undergo the treatment there. The
| dog was killed by Mr.. Donovan himself, and
| Il subsequent examination disclosed that it
| had been victim of rabies
Mr.. Donovan is G2 years old, and when he
| went to the institute the physicians in charge
feared their treatment would be Intellectual
! because of his advanced age. However, he
was put through the course, and everything
appeared to be all right, when Mr.. and Mrs.
Donovan were discharged from the hospital
last week.
A telegram was sent to the relatives Thurs
day morning stating that Mr.. Donovan s
condition was precarious, and Ammoning
the brothers and others to the home.

STEALING RIDES.
Officers of the P, W. & B. Railroad
Company to Break UP Practice
Which Has Become Nuisance.

The practice of people stealing rides on
trains has become such a nuisance that the
officials of the p, w. & B. Railroad Company
have determined to break it up. Some ride
on freight trains and others on passenger
trains. Several accidents to such people have
been reported recently and the company is
making an investigation.
Detective Jones had the work in hand, and
after careful inquiry and hard work, he as
certained that the majority Of the people
were not common tramps but proved to be
beats Of the meanest character who jump on
freight trains for the purpose of saving their
fares. Most OF them are able to pay their
fares and the company intends to break up
the practice.
Detective Jones will swear in several deput-
les and secure as many OF the offenders as
practicable. They will be taken before mag
istrates and will be made to pay dearly for
their m eanness.

within the past week certain agreements

of Philadelphia is interested in the new
corporation.
The paper trade is in a most favorable con-
dtion for the starting Of the mills here with
their steam power. A despatch from Boston
on October % said: A lack OF wood pulp is
bringing about shortage Of paper, and is
causing users no little inconvenielce. The
principal cause Of the trouble seems to ie a
lack of water along the rivers which furnish
the power. Wherever steam plants are avail
able they are being operated. ana in this
way some Of the mills are turning out their
normal product. but representative OF the
International Paper Company, which has
nearly thirty mills in New England, says that
the company has been obliged TO shut down
many of them on account of insufficient
supply of water. As a result of the shortage
