used the same whiskey for herself in
the same way, always putting back in :

liquor have our sympathy. We have

1tion has occurred throughout Poly

Thu Animated Stamn,

Reforms are wrought In mnny ant
curious ways. but seldom in Il stranger
manner than that In which, says the
Kansas City Star. a certain drunkn rd
was sobered. This man had wandered
at midnight into low saloon. He gave
his order, and then leaned against the
bar for support
A man standing near by took from
one pocket an addressed envelope, and
from another a stamp. which lie moist
ened with his tongue. Instead OF ad-
herring to the envelope. as the man In
tended. the stamp slipped from his lin.
gers and nutteredto the noOr.
The tippler saw 1t fall, and staggered
forward to pick 1t up. Just as he was
about to grasp 1t, the stamp darted in a
zigzag course toward the side wall,
like a scared thing. Filled with aston
lshment. the drinker drew back and in
tently watched the bit Of paper. which,
upon reaching the wall, began n
ascend.
As 1t ascended. the tppler's face
grew more intent. his body more rigid.
He saw nothing but the mysterious
moving thing. His mind was soggy
from years Of ceaseless drinking. he
thought that the animated stamp was
. warning.
At the top Of the wainscoting the
stamp stopped, squatted as II for mo-
ment's rest before ascending higher,
and then made a dart toward the tip
piers haggard face. The trembling sOt
saw 1t stop. saw 1t hesitate. and leap.
He was unquestionably doomed II he
continued longer to drink to excess; the
stamp had been given life to warn him.
SO it seemed to him. With a pitiful
yell Of fear and determination he
rushed from the saloon. From that
sventful night until he died, in prosper
,us circumstances. recently. the man
never swallowed drop Of liquor.
The moistened stamp had fallen upon

The Rubber Tree.

The rubber tree is usually tapped -four
times during the first year Of its ma
turity, and the intervals Of rest are
gradually diminished unfit it can be
tapped monthly. The rubber tree is
the milch COW Of the vegetable king
dom; its yield continues to increase
with frequent and skillful milking un-
til 1t reaches its maximum. Properly
cared for, a tree will yield steadily up
to it's fortieth year; in some instances,
as long as fifty or sixty years. The
yield Of gum, as well as the market
price, is variable; but a healthy tree
should yield q revenue Of SIS to $50
oer aunum.
