Turnabout Fair Play.

Mr.. Cinnamon, one Of tn
village grocers, walked into th'
Office of the village paper, anc
laying down a ticket and fancy
circular on the desk, thus spoke
to the editor:
"Here's a little church enter
tainmeut we are getting up, anc
We would like you to give us a
little notice in the locals for the
next two weeks, and print some
of these recommendations"
Cali right" said the editor,
but where did YOU get your
printing done?"
oh" said the grocer, eve
got that done at the other Office. -
Well" replied the scribe,
Il shall have to charge you tor
the notices. so much per line. -
ooh, but said the grocer.
eve don't expect to pay for
them; we expect you to give US
these notices, for the good of tie
cause, and to help us along"
We'll, we'll, the editor re
piled; when you want free
notices you cone to me; but
when you have work that is to
be paid for, you take it some
where else. Is that the racket"
Well, you see said Mr.. CHINA
mon, your paper has the largest
circulation, and all the people
read it; that's why We want the
notices in it, but we don t want
to pay for them.
All right, said the editor III
think it over.
Next day the editor walked
down to Nh, Auspices and
bought pound ct coffee, of rich
aroma. Then he went up to
Mr.. Cinnamon's and said to him
I would like you to
make me present of seven
pounds of sugar to sweeten this
coffee with, when l drink it.
Where did you buy your
coffee? said Mr.. Cinnamon.
1 bought it down the street at
Mr.. Auspices grocery, said the
editor, and paid cash for it.
Then you must 60 and ask
him to give you the sugar to
5Weeten it with; don't ask me.
l. you have the money tos buy
this coffee with, don't come toI
me for free sugar.
Well said the editor, l
thought turnabout was fair play.
You came to me yesterday and
asked me to give you free
notices to your show, after you
had got your printing done
somewhere else. 1t is a poor
rule that won't work both ways.
isn't it?
Well yes, said Mr.. Cinnamon,
but l hadn't thought of that be-
fore
The moral of this is that there
are some country newspapers
that cannot be worked for dead,
head avertising; and the Mount
Kisco IN. W Recorder is one OF
them.

AN ARDUOUS TASK.
The Inspector of Windsor Castle Has
NEuItitudinOus Duties to
Perform.

Leonard Collman, the inspector of
the palace at Windsor castle, is a man
of singularly equable temperament;
indeed, he could hardly be otherwise,
when the nature of his duties is taken
into consideration. His colleague, Mr..
TAYLOR, at buckingham palace, has a
comparatively easy berth, because
Queen Victoria rarely entertains
guests in London. Mr., COllman, on
the other hand, says the Chicago Even
ing News, has to keep register OF
the likes and dislilles of the many IL
lustrious personages who are Dldden
to Windsor. and extremely particular
most of them are as to the equipment
of their apartments.
For instance, one distinguished Wis
itor requires certain pictures to be IN
evidence while another dislikes them;
one royal princess strongly objects to
the morning sun, shine it ever so
family; and a great potentate pre-
fers a camp bed to lie upon. These
are matters which Mr.. Collman has
constantly to bear in mind, but they
are trifes compared with the anxiety
imposed on him by the queens visit
to the Viceregal lodge, Dublin.
1t NAV not be generally known that
her majesty must always be provided
with chairs rising a certain height
from the ground, and that a discrep-
ancy of even half an inch either way
causes the queen the greatest discom-
fort. for she is not of lofty stature.
and once. when visiting Scottish
duke. she was given a splendid arm
chair, which, as she herself remarked,
must have been made for the king of
the Belgans. OF course, her majesty
made no complaint at the time, but
ever since then she has taken her own
chair with her. And as with chairs,
so with beds. sofas and settees. Mr..
Collman's position is no sinecure, and
the change from Bordighera to Phoe-
nix park did not tighten his labors.

GOLD, NOT LIBERTY.
Greed, Infamous, Dctestable, Soul
Destroying, the Inspiration
of the BOer War.

Many times since the beginning of
Great Britains brutal and greed-in-
spired war upon the two little repub-
lies the preteXt that the course was
taken by the empire to protect the
uitlanders from oppression and secure
their rights has been made, and was
again reiterated in Salisbury's reply
to the Boer appeal for peace. This
preteXt, says the Illinois State Jour
nal, has been shattered time and
again, but nowhere more convincing
ly than in the message of John Dill
lon, the Irish parliamentary leader,
sent to the Marquette club of Kan
sas City, to be read at it's annual ban
quet.
AS stated by the Times, of Kansas
City, Mr.. Dillon cites in particular one
incontestable fact showing that, al
though England, through the lip serv-
ice of Colonial Secretary Chamber
lain, constituted herself "the cham
pion of the uitlanders'- side by
side with the burghers fighting to
keep back the British invaders are
found these same uitlanders-Ger-
mans, Irishmen, Frenchmen, Belgians
and even Englishmen.
This stubborn fact scatters to the
four winds Great Britain's pharisaic
pretext. Greed, infamous, detestable,
soul destroying, liberty numbering
greed, is the root and inspiration of
this Infamous war. 1t is the Beers
gold mines England is after, and she
will put them into the nav of her
syndicates, no matter if the butchery
of every one of $4,000 freemen and pa
triots that stand in her way must be
done in the accomplishment of her
purpose.

Voice Culture.

There is a certain girl of Is sum-
mers in the city who is quite remark
able as a vocalist. She has been
studying for a year with a certain
well-known teacher and has accom-
plshed much during that time. But
her appearance is youthful, even for
one of her years. She has been ac-
customed to wearing her hair in
braids down her back and her dresses
short. The other day the teacher
talked to her in a fatherly way.
'See here" he said, You are sup
posed to be vocalist, but it is alb
surd for a vocalist to look so young"
The girl went away The next day
she returned. Her hair was taste
fully done up on the top of her head.
Her dresses were long, even touching
the floor and she held the skirt up
in a graceful way that suggested
young lady of 20, at least.
''Ah," exclaimed the teacher, rub
bing his hands together, there is all
the difference in the world. Now we
shall get on very rapidly
The young lady sang through few
scales.

teacher, whirling around on the piano
stool. "Your voice is much improved

1T Had Little Opportunity to Fight
Flames, But 1t Was Useful
in Other Ways.

A stranger went into the engine
house in La Sale street and asked
questions, says the Chicago Tribune.
After he was enlightened he said to
his informant:
There have been some changes in
the business since | was in it. L
reckon you never heard of the Touse
volunteers
The informant never had.
"Touse is the name of the town It's
spelled Taos. 1t was lively place
in its day-down in the lower end of
Buchanan county, Mo. County that
ST. Joe's in. 1t was a volunteer outfit,
the company was. We had hand en-
gine and our uniform was red shirts,
blue nankeen breeches, red-top boots
and oilcloth caps. You never see any
caps like them now"
Have many runs?"
Not to fires. There wasn't but one
fire in the town in two years, and that
was a haystack."
"You hadn't much to do, then?"
Didn't we? We was IN demand all
the time Touse was great place
in its day for runaway couples to get
married, and as the captain of the
volunteers was the justice of the
peace he always called out the COM
pany to be present at the connubiali-
ties, as he called them, and there was
no marriage until we got there. Some
times there was dance after the we'd
ding, in the public square, and the
bride had to allemande left and sashay
with every member of the volunteers
before she did with her husband.
Then we used to have foot races
on the Fourth of July. and whenever
there was a county fair we were the
ones altogether lovely. In the win
ter time when the circuit rider came
to town and got up a revival we al
ways turned out, and if the sinners
didn't come to taw as lively as they
should, we would pull straws to see
who would go up as mourners. and in
that way the revival would be pro-
longed. 1t was always understood
that the one who pulled the short
straw had the privilege of backslid-
ing after the season was over.
There were no secret orders in
Touse at that time, so when a promi-
nent citizen kicked the bucket, as we
said of man when he died. the
Touse volunteers turned out and
planted him with masonic or Oddfel-
low honors, according to the wishes
of his friends. There was no hearse
in the town, so we put the deceased
on the engine. If his friends wanted
masonic honors over his grave our
captain would toot the trumpet; if it
was oddfellow honors that was de-
manded we rung the bell; and in that
way strangers in Touse always knowed
which way the deceased had affili-
ated, so to speak, in his life. There
wasn't much in Touse that the volun-
teers didn take a hand in

WHAT THE WORLD DRINKS.
National Beverages Consumed Ac-
cOrding to an English Par
Iiamentary Return.

Under the prosaic title of "Alcohol-
ic Beverages an interesting statement
has Just been issued by the board of
trade showing the production and con-
sumption of wine, beer and spirits in
the various countries in Europe, in the
United States, and the principal Brit
ish colonies, together with STATISTICAL
tables relating thereto, in each year
from 1885 to 1898. In many instances.
says the London Telegraph, it has been
found difficult-almost impossible to
collect the necessary information, for,
as is pointed out, the United Kingdom,
France, Germany and the United
States are the chief countries which
publish any reliable statistics on the
subject. Each of these countries de-
rives large and growing revenues from
the taxation of alcoholic beverages,
the proportion so derived to the total
national revenue being approximate
ly) in the case of the United Kingdom,
Sc per cent; in France, 19 per cent; Ill
Germany, Is per cent; IN the United
States, % per cent. 1t is interesting to
note that in these countries the
amount of drink consumed is the larg-
est while the countries themselves are
the richest in the world. Thus do we
find luxury and riches going hand in
hand. The per capita consumption
of wine in Great Britain, Germany and
the United States is relatively insig-
nificant; indeed, the total amount con-
sumed in these three countries, with
their gigantic population of 160 100000
averages only an eighth part of what is
consumed in France with its 3S,000,000.
If, however, our wine bill stands sta
tionary, the beer bill gets bigger and
bigger, and the same may be said of
Germany and the States. During 1898
31.9 gallons of beer per head were con-
sumed-the total running well into ten
fgures-i. e., 1882, 100000. German
brewers had larger output in that
year, though, per head, the population
of the fatherland did not drink what is
called "the staple beverage" so deeply
as did we.
In the United States they drink spir-
It's just about as freely as we do our
selves, the average being about one
gallon a head. In 1898 the total con-
sumption of spirits in the United King
dom was well over 41,000,000 gallons,
while Germany swallowed more than
twice as much. whether" says the
report, this large consumption of
spirits is due to climatic or social con-
ditions, or how far it is influenced by
the amount of the duty on spirits in
each country is question about which
various opinions have been expressed. .
1t is incidentally stated, by the way,
that the alcoholic beverages mostly
patronized at the Cape are wine and
spirits, the consumption of beer being
relatively small.

BATTLE OF THE STANDARDS.
The Fight for an Equitable and Sound d
Currency by No Means Over-SiS-
nificant TabuIatiOn.

Money is the title of "nonparti-
san" magazine, which is strictly a
gold organ, and consequently strong
supporter of the republican party.
Of course Money" is pleased with
the gold legislation which has been
forced through by the republican ad-
ministration, but it does not believe
that the question has been settled for
all time.
Indeed, Raymond E. Dodge, writing
for Money, is not at all sure that the
battle of the standards has been set
tied in favor of gold for even four
years.
Apropos of this view, Mr.. Dodge
says:
Republican leaders have frequent
ly claimed that in the event of the
election of free silver president and
house of representatives, the senate
would be safe for four years to come.
1 am unable to discover any grounds
for their confidence, nor for the claim
that the gold men will have a major
ity in 1901; certainly not in 1908, un-
less prompt action be taken to repair
the weak spots in republican lines
Optimism upon the part of the lead
ers of the party in power may be
pardonable in debate, but not in po-
litical calculations, and it may be well
to consider the conditions under
which the complexion of the senate
may be affected by the results of the
coming campaign.
Judging by past votes upon the
money question, and the results of
the election of 1892, the necessity for
active work and prompt action will
be noted in the following table:
