An Effective Lesson.

A A.drunkard in New Orleans was re-
Gently saved from continuing his
career of dissipation in q peculiar
manner. The young man in question
was OF fine family and had splendid
gifts, but was going dowp as fast as it
was possible for man to go through
strong drink. His friends had plead
ed With him, bnt he had taken their
warnings as an insult. One day one
of them, who was court stenographer,
determined to try new tack with
him. He was sitting at restaurant
enc evening, WHEN the young man in
question came in with q companion,
took the table next to him, sitting
down with his back to him, and not
seeing him. He was just drunk
enough to be talkative about his pri-
vate affairs, and on the impulse Of the
moment the stenographer pulled out
his notebook and took full short
hand report of every word he said. 1t
was the usual mauldin folly of young
man with his brain muddled by drink,
and included number of highly oan-
did details Of his daily life-things
that when he was sober he would as
soon have thought Of putting his hand
in the fire as Of speaking about to
casual acquaintance. The next morn
ing the stenographer copied the whole
thing neatly and sent it around to his
Office. In less than ten minutes he
caue tearing in with "What is this,
anyhow IT'S sienographic re-
port Of your monologue at the restau-
rant last evening" his friend replied,
and gavo him q brief explanation.
''Did I really talk like that?" he
asked family. ''I assure yon it is on
absolutely verbatim report was the
reply. He turned pale and walked
out. He never dranksanother drop.
There are many men who would cease
not only the sin Of drunkenness, but
other sins as we'll, il they could see
themselves as other people see them.

A True Picture.


There was good woman whose nus
band was in the habit cf drinking
very heavily. One night he came
home, as he too often did, helplessly
drunk, and reeled into a chair and
fell aBleep. AS his wife lonked at
him, and saw how miserable he ap.
peared, she thought if he could only
see himself in that State he would
never touch drink again. She had a
friend, photographer. IF she could
get him to come and photograph her
husband, just as he lay there, it might
have q good effect, She slipped ou. %
the house, and soon returned with her
friend, who brought his camera with
him, and in short time the inehriated
husband was photographed. A few
days afterwards the carte came home.
The woman first looked at it, and
then handed it to her husband. SIS

Eyes, that liz you," the woman quietly
replied. He took long look, and
then exclaimed as he turned away to
hide Ills emotion: 'sBy the help Of
God, / will never touch strong drink

Where Will Ii Stop.

Washington, Sept 21.-With a
war revenue computed to support
the government while at war with a
world power and an average tariff
under the Dingley law of 5S per cent,
the expenditures of McKinley's ad-
ministratiOn during the last two
months have exceeded the receipts
from all sources by a fraction less
than S5,OOO.OOO.
During the first two months of the
present fiscal year. ending August
81. the expenses of the army and
navy reached the enormous sum of
SO. $50 ,052 sc. or about S164.00O
per day. and vet President Mckinley
insists that the countryis at peace.
At the present eXtravagant rate
of expenditure. it will be impossible
for the people to hope for a lessening
of the burdens of taxation now i'm
posed. but rather if the expenditures
continue to exceed the receipts as
they have been doing the past two
months another issue of bonds will
be necessary in order TO maintain
the required gold reserve.
