He was atypical son of the Ould Sod,
and the remark quoted applied to the
city OF Wheeling. The speaker was
several sheets in the wind. and had the
appearance of a man who had been
industriously engaged for twensy-four
hours in putting a vermilion tinge on
the town, and incidentally trying to
drink all the whisky.t in the burg. He
hailed from small Ohio town, and
was relating his woes to fellow citi-
zen while awaiting the departure Of
their train from the Terminal station.

The speaker was an expert on the
subject of mixed drinks, an epicure, his
knowledge CLEANED from compounding
fancy beverages, and from sampling al
most every decoction ever prepared.
He was also something of philosopher.
He was a Pittsburger, and came to
Wheeling yesterday because Pittsburg
Is dry CD on Sunday.
There are lot OF young bloods who
are constantly demanding something
new in the line of mixed drinks, and
who are prone to boast about their
knowledge of the ingredients OF the
popular fancy beverages. Some of the
new drinks are not fit to enter a mans
stomach. but as long as there is a sale
for them, they will be manufactured.
One OF the latest Is called Mamie
Adams why, do not know-and tits
composed of the juice OF a lime, a
jigger Of Scotch whisky and a quantity
of ginger ale. Then there's the high
BALI which Is an abomination. On
the other hand, take such cocktails as
the Manhattan and Martini, which are
mixed drinks really entitled to respect.
The fact Is, though. that mixed drinks
are hardly the thing for summer, from
a standpoint of health and temperance.
The proper drinks are native wines. but

A Pittsburg girl-and a charming
and dainty little creature, by the way
came down to Wheeling to visit her
brother on the Island, and had a novel
and rather embarrassing experience.
She was directed to go to the foot of
Twelfth street and take the yacht
for the Island. She saw the
naptha launches at the upper end of
the public landing, but did not think for
a moment that such tiny craft would be
used for ferrying purposes. There was
packet at the wharf, and she stepped
on the boat just as it pulled out into the
river. Then she discovered her mis-
take, consulted the boat crew, and was
put off at Benwood. When she
reacher her brothers home, she found
that he had waited until he felt certain
that she did not come, and then drove
out into the country with his wife She
was compelled to accept the proffered
hospitality Of neighbor until the re-
turn of her brother in the evening.

The number OF strangers in the city
yesterday was not large-as upon
many Sundays during the summer.
There were no big excursions. Most of
the visitors went to Wheeling Park,
and big crowd heard the afternoon

CHICKEN THIEVES.
Three Well known bridgeport Men
Try Their Hand at Stealing
Chickens

Chickens.
Sunday morning about two o'clock
the police received word that three
men were stealing the chickens of
Thos. Hanson, who lives on Pike
street. The word came from the G. L.
& w. round house, and soon the police
force, including Marshal Douds, were
on the scene, but the men had escaped
up the hill and evaded the officers
One of the men lost his hat and by
this he was identified. His hat is at
the city building, where he can secure
same by calling on Marshal Douds.
This hatless man gave away the story
and the police know the whole party,
but as Hanson has not sworn out a
warrant for them, they cannot be ar
rested, as they had not stolen anything
nese men should know better than
to indulge in this business, and they
can rest assured that if the police catch
them they will get the limit of the
law. They may think they are cute,
but the police know them all.

SHALL WORM EA TEN NAPLES BE
TAPPED THIS SPRING?

This question is being asked so fire.
quently and SO earnestly that the
following opinion is given in reply by
the Vermont experiment station:
Whether or not to tap will depend
upon circumstances of which the
sugar maker is the best judge. His
decision should be Influenced by the
following considerations. The sugar is
the reserve food of the tree stored last
season to feed the buds this coming
spring. The amount of sugar taken
from an ordinary maple tree by tap
ping is from two to four per cent. of
it's total sugar content. This is so
small a fraction as usually to cause no
appreciate loss to the tree. But if
the tree has been so badly eaten by
worms during the past seasons as to
have it's life endangered, it might be
undesirable to make even this small
drain which would somewhat decrease
the chances of life for the tree.
1t is to be remembered, however, in
this connection that all of the stored
sugar was manufactured in the green
leaves last season. Now if those leaves
were eaten by the worms there would
be proportionately less sugar in the
sap, and, in case the damage to the
foliage was really serious the sap will
be of SO low quality as regards sugar
content that it will not pay to tap the
tree in any case. On the other hand,
if there is enough sugar present to
make tapping profitable, then there is
enough so that the removal of two to
four per cent. will not appreciably
affect the tree.
It is believed, therefore, that the
safest way for one who is in doubt to
determine the quality of the sap from
his trees, is selecting several repre-
sentative trees and taking samples
from these before tapping the remain
der. If the sap is of good quality he
may safely tap. If, however, it is of
poor quality-that is, deficient in
sugar-it will be both unsafe and I'M
profitable to tap.

would be a great charging Of the
schools and provision would be made
for teaching English in them. Already
English is taught in several private
schools and in the Jesuit college but
it is very poor English, taught by per
sons who have but poor smattering
Of the language and very faulty pro-
nunciation. An American who could
speak Spanish might make a good
thing teaching English to private pu
pills. We felt strong desire to live
among this interesting people and
teach them better things than they
had known. That they are capable of
learning American ways the progress
Of those who had spent but short
time in this country abundantly
proves. We met children not over
twelve or fourteen who could speak
very ready English and the children
on the streets generally seemed fully
as bright as those seen in an Ameri-
can town.
Those who talk of the Cuban being
incapable of learning a higher civil
ization certainly speak from a preju
diced view. 1t takes time for any
people to learn new ways; but the
better class of Cuban can and will
learn. He is learning now. Give him
a settled government, a chance to help
himself, and little brotherly assist
ance from the best, and not the worst,
class of our own people, and [ believe
another generation will find people
there whom we would not feel at all
ashamed to regard as our fellow citi-
zens. [ soon found that those who
had the worst opinion of the Cuban
were not the best class Of our own
citizens; and their opinion was not
based on contact with the best class of
Cubans. Considering his opportuni-
ties and environment the average
Cuban seems to compare quite favor
ably with the average American.
With better opportunity he will i'm
prove. To give him the opportunity
and the help to make the most of it is
a work for some of those W no may be
helpfully inclined among our own
people. The government is doing
much. Some societies which have
been formed in this country for that
purpose are also doing some good
work in educating a few of the youth
who have been brought here for that
purpose. But there is still room for
individual effort. These people need
trained teachers; they need an open
Bible and help to understand it; and
they need the help Of some one who
can live among them and teach by
example and personal influence the
best things ofou modern civilization.
One who can do this in spirit of un-
selfish helpfulness would find much
satisfaction and real pleasure in the
work. We left Cuba with some feei>
ings Of real regret that, for reasons
which seemed insurmountable we
could not stay to carry on such work
among a people whom We had in a
short time learned to like.
Next time I will try to tell you about
an American colony which has been
planted near NuevitaS.
