FIRST DRINK ONE TOO MANY.
Trouble Into Which 1t Plunged an
Unsophisticated South

This is the simple, aighforward
story of an unsophisticated southern
youth who was readmitted into the
country through the barge office, and
many are the hardships the boy has
suffered since taking his first drink, for
to this drink he attributes his rough ex-
perience.

1Syears old, and the greenest sailor that
ever pushed a broom or hauled on a

Clark's yarn as he tells it, and as it is
borne out by the evidence presented
to the immigration authorities:

AN ANIMATED POSTAGE STAMP
1t Changed the Course of the Drunk
ard Who Saw It-A story from
Kansas City.

There died the other day in Kansas
City a man who lost his passion for
drink in a peculiar manner.
From his youth the man had been an
unconscionable tippler. One night sew
eral years ago he stumbled into an OBJ
scure saloon at midnight, gave his or
der, and lolled against the bar for sup
port. A man standing near by took
from one pocket an addressed envelope
and from another stamp, which he
II oistened with his tongue. Instead Of
aGhering to the envelope, as the man in
tended, the stamp slipped from his
fingers and futtered to the floor. The
unconscionable tippler saw it fall, and
staggered forward to pick it up. Just
as he was about to grasp it, the stamp
started in a zigzag course toward the
side wall, like a scared thing. Filled
with wonder and establishment, the
drinker drew back and intently watched
the bit of paper, which, upon reaching
the wall, began to ascend. AS it as
cended, the tippler'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, as
thousands of drunkards have thought,
and will continue to think, that IN some
ineXplicable way he was doomed; the
animated stamp was warning.
At the top of the wainscoting the
stamp stopped, squatted itself as if
for a moments rest before ascending
higher, and then, without warning,
made a swift dart toward the tlppler's
haggard face. The trembling sot saw
it stop, saw it hesitate, and leap. He
was unquestionably doomed if he con-
tinued longer to drink to excess. The
stamp had been given life to warn him.
With a pitiful yell of fear and determi-
nation, he rushed from the saloon.
From that eventful night until he died
in prosperous circumstances recently,
the man never swallowed a drop of
liquor. The moist stamp had fallen
upon a roach's back and stuck there.

THE ROUGH RIDERS.
Col. Roosevelt Describes the Char

Commanded.

Then | went down to San Antonio
myself, where L found the men from
New Mexico, Arizona and Oklahoma al
ready gathered, while those from In
dian territory came in soon after my
arrival.
These were the men who made up the
bulk of the regiment, and give it its
peculiar character. They came from
the four territories which yet remain
within the boundaries of the United
States; that is, from the lands that have
been most recently won over to white
civilization, and in which the condi-
tons of life are nearest those that OBJ

was frontier. They were a splendid
set of men, these southwesterners-- tall
and sinewy, with reselute, weather.
beaten faces, and eyes that looked d
man straight in the face without finch
ing, They included in their ranks men
of every occupations; but the three
types were those of the cowboy, the
hunter and the mining prospector-the
man who wandered hither and thither,
killing game for living, and spend
ing his life in the quest for metal
wealth.
In all the world there could be no
better material for soldiers than that
afforded by these grim hunters of the
mountains, these wild rough riders of
the plains. They were accustomed to
handling wild and savage horses; they
were accustomed to following the
chase with the rifle, both for sport and
as a means of livelihood. Varied
though their occupations had been, al
most all had, at one time or another,
herded cattle and hunted big game.
They were hardened to life in the open,
and to shifting for themselves under
adverse circumstances. They were
used, for all their lawless freedom, to
the rough discipline of the roundup
and the mining company. Some of
them came from the small frontier
towns; but most were from the wilder
ness, having left their lonely hunters
cabins and shifting cow-camps to seek
new and more stirring adventures be-

THE MOST DRUNKEN NATION.
This INEVITABLE Distinction Given
to Frnnce-Her Consumption
of Alcohol.

This unenViable distinction is now
given to France and is sustained by no
less authority than the Lancet, ranked
as the greatest, most reliable and care
full medical paper in the world.
DR.. Brunyon, in the Bulletins Medi-
cal, says:
The quantity of alcohol drunk at
Rouen is equal to an average per head
of the population of II liters Of pure
alcohol. In other centers of the prov
ince the consumption is even higher,
it amounts, for instance, to 10 liters at
Lillebonne. In the department Of the
Seine-Inferieure-that is, the Havre
district-there is a drink shop for
every e. inhabitantst. The women are
also hard drinkers, and drink is sup
piled to them by the grocer, the green
grocer and even by the men who sell
roast chestnuts at the corners of the
streets. Young women and children re-
fuse to drink their coffee unless it is
mixed with brandy, and children begin
to drink coffee when only two or three
years old. Naturally the children very
soon ask for the brandy which they
see their seniors mix with the coffee.
and parents are weak enough to very
generally aceede to the demand of their
children. The agricultural laborers
seem to drink nearly as much as the
workmen of the towns. Alcoholism is
also very prevalent among the trading
class, and especially among the grocers
and cafe proprietors. It's the rule for
commercial travellers in all branches of
trade to drink over each transaction
A commercial traveller who refused tC
drink would not be able to do any bust

Jules Claretie, the brilliant Paris
journalist, says that "the scourge OF
France is alcoholism" This, he tell:

drinker but transmits the seeds of in.

is a significant fact that the fifth asy
lum for the insane has recently beer
built in the Paris district, especially
for incurable drunkards.
''Frenchmen," says NJ. Claretie, care
