A Cheap Luncheon.

A good story is told in connection
with the last Ascot meeting An Amer
lean, who was used to going into racing
booths in his own country, ordering
luncheon and paying 81. found himself
hungry at the royal meeting, so he
walked into the first tent handy and
told the attendant to give him some
thing to eat. The man put sunptuous
luncheon before him, to which, as well
as the champagne, the visitor did ample
justice. He then handed the attendant
shillings, received his thanks and was
bowed out of the tent, inwardly con-
graduating himself on the moderateness
of the charge. An English friend whom
he met outside said:
Ibid not know you were acquainted
with Lord FL. .
Neither am T. replied the Bosto-
MAN.
''Oh, beg your pardon, . said the
interrogation. 81 thought you were, as
you came out cf his tent. -

Tie Ended the Feud.

When the Republicans were about
% nominate somebody to run for gov
,rnor in 1914, there were candidates in
Ill parts of the woods. The day of the
convention, however, "Uncle Dick
went down and, without having present
any semblance Of candidacy other than
his own personality, he was nominated
by acclamation
His brother in-law, David T. Littler,
was a candidate for state treasurer.
He had been to some pains to make his
candidacy an organized feature OF the
days preceding the convention. When
Oglesby was named for governor, Lit
tier was put out of the calculations by
reason of coming from the next county
and was side tracked in consequence.
Although Mrs. Oglesby and Mrs. Lit
tier were sisters, the houses of Oglesby
and Littler were far apart from that
time. The heads were so completely
estranged that one did not speak to the
other. For ten years they remained
strangers.
Littler lived in great old fashioned
mansion in Springfield. Oglesby lived
on his farm near Elkhart One day, to
the surprise of the Littler family, ex-
Governor Oglesby walked in.
Chow are you, Dave2" said the ex-
governor
''How are You, governor?'' said Lit
tier, as he struggled against his aston
ishment Then the extended hand of
the unexpected visitor was cordially
grasped.
: II came to take dinner with you,
Dave
"Well, I'm glad of it, answered
Littler, as he took the hat and coat OF
! his caller.
''Is the whisky bottle in the same
old place, Dave?'
! sit is, and there's whisky in it. 20

y Ammonia Fire EXtfnguiSher.
p Probably the best fire extinguishing
liquid is aqua ammonia, without any
addition whatever. We have personally
had experience with the almost mar
velous power of this substance in this
direction. In one instance, where fire
had originated probably from spon
taneous combustion, in pile contain
ing several tons Of cotton seed, and the
interior of which was almost a solid
body of live coal, half gallon of am
monia completely smothered the fire.
In another, which occurred at Sa-
venay, France, the vapors of a tank
containing so gallons Of gasoline caught
fire in the linen room Of laundry. The
room was instantly a mass Of living
flames. but a gallon and half of am
monia water thrown into it completely
and almost Immediately extinguished
the fire. The ammonia was in glass
demijohn in an apothecary shop next
door to the laundry and was thrown
into the room by the druggist as an ex-
pertinent. So completely was the fire
extinguished that workmen were en-
abled to enter the room almost imme-
diately, where they found the iron tank
of gasoline intact. -National Druggist
