Just a Dash of Bitters.

There was silence for a moment.
Presently she spoke, and the tone
of voice she selected to use was trem-
ulous and pleading.
"George, dearest, do-do you ever
drink"
Reluctantly he admitted that
there were occasions when he
glanced carelessly upon the wine
when it was ready
"Ah! dearst," she continued, with
anxiety depicted on her lovely feat
ures; what do you suppose pa
would say if he should discover
that his only daughters future hus
band drank?"
He discovered it yesterday after
noon," responded George with some
OF the same old reluctance.
ooh, and what did he say?" she
inquired, breathlessly.
HE said"-the manly young fell
lows voice trembled-"he said,
We'll, George, my boy, don't care
if do. Mines the same, with just

Walla Statesman.

/ A writer signing himself Col.
yellowstone Yell, of Yell City. N. c.,
recently wrote the following for thef
Springfield Republican; which has
the peculiar property of being more
truthful than poetical, 1t is well
worth reading and considering:
"From Greenland's icy mountains an
Manila scoral strand, the pore benighted
heather calls away to beat the band.
They're achin' ter be civilized, in ever
heather land-and we've gotter have an
army for the job.
"The heather are a-calling to our no
BILE christian race; America for all the
rest has got to set the pace, and for our
surplus products we must have a market
place-and we've gotter have an army
for the job.
"The heather in the peaceful path of
freedom must be, fed, At present he's
to volatile and light as to his head, The
only way to keep him downs to fill him
up on bread-and we've gotter have an
army for the job,
"Then its rise up Wilum Riley and
come along with me- We're goin to
bring 'em blessin's and set their pore
soles free. They're only yeller niggers,
and they'll soon be up tfee-4-but we've
gotter have an army for the job.
"The pore benighted heather now no
Christian peace enjoys. Well edercate
'em like they do at Yirden, Illinois, or
down in Caroliny where they hang 'em
men and boys-jest to elevate the STAN
dard o. the race. -
| "The Malays of the Philerpeens amt
got no sens at all. They wanter rule
( their place themselves shudder at
their galll We've got ter kill 'em off in
| droYes, to make the rest sing small-apd
+ ter elevate the standard of the race.
They're SO besotted in their pride
that eff the truth were known, they'd
likely ask our COVER ment to leave them
all alone, The heathern in their blind
ness now bow down to stock and stone
but We'll elevate the standard of the
race, ~
They've got ter crawl an grovel under
white mems noble rule. They got ter
learn their lessons in a mighty bitter
school. We've gotter tread 'em in the
mud ter keep our tempers cool-and ter
elevate the standard OF the race.
tI'The onward march of destiny no nig-
ger crowd can stay. The anglo Saxon
race must get it's three square meals a
day. Wen take their lands and make
'em work and then we'll '-ooray---!---'
an thus We'll spread the gospel far and
wide.
"We'll raise 100000 men to fight them
in their swamps, to lie at nigh in jungles
with their fever-ridden damps, and then
We'll lose 10000 there from wounds and
cholera cramps-but Wen spread the
blessed gospel far and wide, g.
Attic haven't been to church for
nigh on 20 year, it makes me feel real
pious just to think of the idear,(I saw
one firm will send out there 10000 quarts
of beerl of how We'll spread the gospel

"I,d write you more, but I've got a lit

A Figure Problem.

Here is one from the fertile brain
of the mathematician that is going
the rounds. Follow the directions
and surprise will greet you. Put
down the figures of.the year in
which you were born; to this add
three; then add your age at your
next birthday provided it comes
before January 1st, otherwise your
age at your last birthday; multiply
by 1000; from this deduct 9S7 ,423
substitute for the figures the cores
ponding letters of the alphabet, as
A for /, B for 2, G 8, etc. The result
will give you a name by which you
are probably known. 1t has been
said that figures never lie.

Worse Than Greeley's.

Speaking of handwriting" said
an old newspaper man, "the worst
in the profession since the Greeley
myth was that of Colonel j. F.
Barton. The colonel was Southern
man; he died in Alabama in '97..
and a dozen years ago he. was
famous throughout the middle west
as an editorial writer Of great power
and versatility. The queer thing
about him was that his normal
penmanship looked almost like cop
per plate "a beautiful flowing script
but let him get excited or hurried,
and it double discounted the chicken
tracks on Cleopatra's needle.
f'There used to be a funny story
about him, current among printers,
and I'll tell it for what it is worth.
One night. according to the yarn. a
tramp printer drifted into west
ern Office where the colonel was in
charge, and applied for a job. The
foreman put him to work, and he
begged along all right until just be-
fore the hour DIGGING to press, when
Barton sent in hurry-up editorial
based on late news telegram. Nearly
all the printers had left, so the new
man got piece of the copy" a
page from about the middle. He
carried it to his case looked at it
frowningly, turned it upside down,
looked at again, and finally put it
in position before him and began to
snatch up type. Read that in your
sticksl yelled the foreman, we amt
got time for proofs And when the
new man carried his matter over it
was dumped into the forms with,
out further ceremony.
"What he had sat up ran about
like this; The miscreant who wrote
the copy I have before me is respon-
sible for my fate. No human being
can read it. He cannot read it him
self Tonight | shall jump a freight
and, as / am somewhat shaky from
recent jags, will probably fall off
and be killed. My blood be on his
head. This remarkable paragraph,
without rhyme or reason in the
middle of Barton's brilliant editorial
astonished the readers of the paper
next morning. When the colonel
recovered himself sufficiently to get
a club and rush down to the office
the tramp printer had vanished. p

Took In Too Much Territory.

A drummer who had been imbib-
ing too freely walked unsteadily
about the Northern Pacific depot,
one night, according to a story told
by Puyallup, WASH, man, and
seemed to be looking for trouble.
No one took notice of the travelling
man, and he became more and more
excited. Raising his arm, to make
it more impressive, he finally de-
clared that he could whip any man
in Tacoma. No one took up the
challenge, and the intoxicated man
became excited.
II can lick any man in Pierce
County," he shouted, looking about
as if he wanted to be prepared for
any onslaught which might result
from this broad assertion. Again
the drummer found himself ignored.
The peacefulness of the crowd OF
amused onlookers was gall and
NORWOOD to his warlike spirit, and
he flung out a final challenge.
"Yesh, can lick any man in thish
State of Washington"
Justathen stocky little brake
man who had just come in on a
freight train walked up and gave
the drummer an uppercut which
upset him and rolled him over and
over. The DIR ummer lay on the
platform for a minute, apparently
thin king it over. Then he raised
himself on one elbow and said.
