Rnu .eritz nnd Moody Mot.

When Bob Fitzsimmons arrived In
Chicago fresh from his victory over
Jim corbett in Carson City. in 1897. he
stayed at the Auditorium hotel, and
there met the late Dwight L. Moody
for the first and last time.
FitzsImmons was the guest Of WELL
known race-horse owner, and he, with
a party Of men, was talking over the
light with corbett, when sudden
burst of music came in through the
theater door leading to the long hall
way OF the Auditorium.
whats the doing?" asked the prize
fighter.
Moody is holding services, and he's
all right" responded one of the party.
81 would like to meet that chap, as
have heard a lot about him." said Fitz-
simmons.
A few moments later the prize fighter
and his friends were walking through
the corridor of the hotel when Mr..
Moody came hurrying in from MichI: :
gan avenue on his way to the service
That's the pig preacher" seid one
of the party. Mr.. Moody halted for a
moment on hearing this remark and
smiled in n pleasant manner Promptly
the HORSEPOWER led the prize fighter
up to the famous evangelist and said;
"Mr. Moody, this is Mr.. Fitzsimmons,
who has Just whipped Jim corbett out
west. and he wanted to meet YOU"
mfr. FitzsImmons, how are you, slr?"
said the evangelist. ''I hope we shall
see you at the meeting. We are hav-
ing rouslng good times. Come in. gem
tlemen, believe you would enjoy IT."
And, with a wave of his hand, Mr..
Moody was of down the hall. leaving
tho prize fighter and his friends looking
perplsxed.
"wer he amt half bad, is he?" re,
marked the Cornishman. Lets call
his blum and go In"
Forthwith the party entered the the
alter and occupied the seats in the rear
of a box. All but Fltzslmmons seemed
to weary Of the sermon. but he stayed
until the last. A day later he again
met Mr.. Moody in the hotel. and, In
tsrruptlng the latter while he was talk
ing to a party of friends, he said; II
was with you yesterday, and I enjoyed
the talk" end Bob, Ike a blushinE
school girl. hurried away
what a wonderful man he would be
II he would bend his Efforts toward
fighting for the Lord instead Of night
ing his fellow-men," was the remark of
the evangelist as Fltzslmmons hurried
toward the levator.-ChIcago News.

~ confessed my ignorance of the
word 'honing' and he enlightened me.
Said the proper way to hone a razor
was to hold the back OF the blade
against grinding stone until the frIc-
ton softened the edge. Then he said
there was grinding stone in the next
block, and asked permission to take the
blade around and put 1t In order. A
gentleman always asks permission,

THE RATIONAL TEMPER.
Americans Arc Not Hysterical, and
Do Not Get Excited Over tribes.

Brooklyn Eagle: Clark Howell, Of
Atlanta, delivered himself Of an apt
Characterization of the plain American
in a speech in Buffalo on Thursday
night He was describing the conduct
OF an old Georgia mountaineer at the
army post near Atlanta, whose son had
enlisted and was about to start for the
Philippines with his regiment and said
that the man Involuntary and uneon-
sclously took on his hat when the nag
was saluted, but did 1t without appar-
ent emotion. His patriotism and 10y.
atty, said Mr.. Howell, were prompted
by soul as rugged and as placid as
the mountains which gave It birth and
by I'M inspiration kindled from the
very bosom OF nature itself"
The national temper has seldom been
better characterized. It 10 rugged and
II is placid. The Americans are not
hysterical and they do not make fools
of themselves over lnconsOquent things.
There lB evidence all around that the
people are loyal to the principles OF
liberty. and that they are willing to
pay the price involved In defending
the nag which typiheB those principles.
When a man iB Killed they do not dis
cover for the frBt time that war means
death to hundreds II not to thousands.
They have thought the problem
through. and they are placid with the
placIdity OF u sublime determination.
OF course, there are Individual eN-
ceptions. but the exceptions prove the
rule. Hundreds Of thousands Of plain
people, like this old Georgia mountain
Ger. viii take OF their hats TO the flag
as a matter Of course. and they Will
send their sons TO the war with the
same calm recognition Of their Obllga-
tion that would impel them to jump In
10 stream to rescue their drowning
child. II Ia not n time 10 hesitate for
fear their clothes viii get wet. They
know that child'B life Ia OF more Inn
portnnce than few garments. and
they know also that certain principles
are OF greater value than n score Of
lives. They are well grounded In ele-
mental notions. and they nre not dis
turbcd by the hysterlcai rawlings over
superfciallties in which the antl-lmper-
lallBts have INDUCED. They have the
natural, rather than the artificial or
scholastic virtues.

WOMEN AND THE w1NE-oUP.
Is It True There is Increasing Use
Of Intoxicants by Women.

of Intoxicants by Women.
Chicago Journal: The student of SO.
clal phenomena can fnd rich and al .
most unexplored field for study in the
obviously increasing use Of stimulants
by women. Among men the use and
abuse of alcoholic liquors is clearly de-
creaslng. We no longer have four
bottle" men, and later Mr.. Plckwick
who should get drunk on hunting
party and awaken in the village pound
would encounter sllngs and arrows of
reprobntlon among his own people more
painful than the decRyed vegetables
with which the rIbald populace awoke
the benignant victim OF cold punch.
But in proportion as men become
temperate or abstinent women are
looking with favor on the grape. Not
merely that class of unforunates whom
Hogarth shows US in "Gln Lane" and
George Moore powerfully and pltifully
describes in IAN Actors Wife" nor yet
the women OF the smart set" whom
society journalists love to describe as
Drinking lnnumeTdDle COCktdllb lTOm
impossible jeweled TASKS. Between
these two extremes lies the great body
Of womanhood, and there the growing
use Of alcohol is apparent to every
close observer.
The explanation OF this phenomenon
is not difficult. AS life has become
more tense, more strenuous for women,
the need, real or faniced, for stlmu-
lants has come upon her as 1t did upon
men. It is the exceptional woman to-
day who is not in some sense O business
woman, for even the pursuit OF society
has become a business. With greater
independence, heavier cares, and a
livelier Intellectual life than her grand
mother enjoyed-or suffered-the twen-
tIeth century girl may be expected to
seek much the same methods Of secur-
ing relief or stimulus as her brother
does.
Doubtless this will be bad for the
race. The alcoholic faint inherited
from one parent has wrecked enough
lives. II the danger be doubled the
gravity Of the results will be enhanced.
But. 1t Is an irrefutable proposition that
II women are compelled TO do an ever
increasing share OF mans work, they
will ultimately contract share OF
mans vices, too.

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR,

At thirty marriage is feast; at
forty it's the bill.
The main wish at the bottom Of every
woman's getting married is the wish
not to get left.
Most Of what women talk about when
they go calling on each other tastes a
lot Of the can.
Some women have to do about as
much work making their husbands get
up in time for business as their hus-
bands have to do all day.

other man can beat him two strings at
billiards he makes up his mind that he
