TALE OF A BOTTLE OF LIQUOR.
Eraced and Large sum Expended
as Sum Total of Its Work.

Some time ago when travelling in
the northwest of Canada, the follow
ing incident happened, illustrating in
striking way how the drink traffic
works evil. In Prince Albert, n. w.
T., Canada, there is barracks of the
mounted police, body of men who
patrol the country for miles around
to keep peace among the Indians. 1t
was their duty to arrest one for some
petty offense, and he was placed in
the barracks, not closely confined, as
an armed guard stood day and night
at the entrance and no one could pass
without his notice. 1t was Private
Coleman's night watch, and he had
brought from town bottle of liquor.
Constant pulls at it put him to sleep,
and the foxy Indian crept up, stole
his revolver and made off.

Remedies for a Childish Arrment.

Earache, so often common with lit
tie children, is severe pain, and is
usually accompanied with sharp
scream. The pain is likely to be pro-
longed and continuous. Twenty drops
of warm water should be put into the
ear, and a poultice of flaXseed applied
warm, but not too hot, or the hot
water bag may be held against the
ear. A good device is to fill the little
finger of a kid glove with hot salt and
insert this in the ear before the heat
is applied to the outside.-Detroit

GEN. LEO RASSIEUR.
New COmman der-in-Chief of the
Grand Army of the Republic
Was Born in Germany.

Judge Rassieur, the new command
er in chief of the Grand Army, was
born in Germany IN 1874. He came to
this country in 1851 with his parents,
who settled in st. Louis. He was ed
ucated in the public schools and at
tended the high school. He did not
complete the high school course, how
ever, and at the age of 16 years took
a position in a law office. He was
thus engaged at the breaking out of
the civil war, in the spring of 1861.
When not quite II he was selected by

easy tone, and then seeming to COM
prehend, she gave a little scream and
made a plunge as though to gather
up her dog. But in doing so she let
go her hold on the chain, and the
pug, finding himself free, proceeded
to put as much space as possible be-
tween himself and the lions.
The latter had by this time be-
come much excited, and as they be-
held the pug numbering away and
rapidly getting out of their reach,
they dashed against the bars of the
cage and roared their disappointment
at the escape of their anticipated
quarry.
This entirely completed the poor
woman's discontinue, and with a
scream of terror she started after her
dog as rapidly as her avoirdupois
would permit, shouting at frequent
intervals: 30, they will kill my Fido
They will kill my Fido.'
The actions of his mistress probably
added to Fido's terror, for with one
look toward her he fled down the
graveled pathway at rate of speed
of which no one would have thought
him capable, with his mistress in hot
pursuit.

Our DaiIy Talk

In nothing else as in the words we
habitually use in the common talk of
daily life do we show so plainly our
degree of refinement, our culture or
the lack of it, and the plane on which
our thoughts move. 1t is, therefore,
worth our while, do you not see, to
take some pains with our converse
ton, not in such way as to make us
seem stiff and pedantic, but to recog-
nize the fact that here, as in other
departments of life and learning, it is
training that tells in results.-Ladies'

the citizens of the locality should ex-
press their intention of standing by
the union or remaining neutral. At
the call of young Rassieur, who had
been ruled out of order by the chair
man of the meeting, the loyal men in
attendance repaired to another place
and adopted a set of resolutions in
favor of the union, which has become
historic in the annals of Missouri.
Rassieur enlisted in the First United
States reserve corps, volunteers, May
z, 1861, and was made orderly SER
geant of company B. He was mus
tered out of service August 20, 1865,
with the rank of major, which COM
mission he received at the age of 20
years. At the close of the war he
studied law and was admitted to the
bar in St. Louis April l, 1867. He
practiced law in st. Louis until 1894,
when he was elected judge of the ST.
Louis probate court on the republican
ticket. At the expiration of his term
in 1898 he resumed the practice of
law, in which he is still engaged.
From 1874 until 1878 he was member
of the board of directors of the pub

An Oaks Appetite.

A single oak of good size is said to
lift 1913 tons of water during the
months it is in leaf. This moisture
is evaporated and rises to form rain
clouds. All the trees are busy doing
the same thing, and the rank ferns
and MOSES and deep mold of the for
est depths, acting as reservoirs for
the rain which falls upon them, in
their turn feed the springs and
brooks. From the estimate of the
labor of single oak we can gain
some idea of the immense force which
the forests exert in equalizing the
evaporation and precipitation and pre-
venting periods of inundation and

PRICE ON HER HEAD.
SOCIETY OFFERS $1,000 FOR
MISS JEWETT'S SCALP.
\ Sequel Of the Recent Riots Ths
Woman Who Denounced the Killing
Of Charles and Others by q Mob of
Lawless Whites. a

There is much excitement in two
widely separated sections of the coun-
try over sequel of the recent bloody
scenes in the city Of New Orleans, La,
and as result the states Of Louisiana
and Massachusetts are, so to speak,
scowling at each othor with unmistak-
able viciousness. The Green Turtle
club, semi-political organization OF
New Orleans, has threatened the life
and set the price Of 81 900 on the head
Of Miss Lillian Clyton Jewett of Bos-
ton, who headed a mass meeting OF
Boston negroes few nights ago and
declared war on southern whites. A
Boston dispatch says Miss Jewett has
secured 10000 negro crusaders willing
to march to New Orleans, and that
$4,000 was raised to equip them and to
send an advance agent.
Miss Jewett is president OF the Anti
Lynching league of Boston and the
recent killing of Charles and other me-
groes without trial by lawless whites
excited the woman and her followers
greatly. AT the meeting In Boston
Miss Jewett made fiery speech, in
which she denounced the whites OF
New Orleans in unmeasured terms and
declared that she would head cru
SADIE against them. Excitement ran
high, and one of the speakers. the Rev.

she received a letter postmarked New

I'VE would give $1,000 reward for
your scalp in preference to any negro
In your congregation. You may te
white in the eyes Of Boston people, but
In our eyes you are blacker than Rob-
ert Charles. We therefore invite you
to come down. Our members are anx-

This was signed Members Green

New Orleans, La" The whole thing
started In the southern city as q joke,
but the Boston people took the matter
seriously and now the Green Turtle
members are in earnest and say they
propose to stand back of their words.
The letter to Miss Jewett further says:
Seeing that you threaten to come
to New Orleans with mob OF 10000
persons, We invite you to come as the
blacks Joan of Arc, and we assure you
that your band OF crusaders would get
killed In less time than it took Charles
to kill the police officers" That this
is seriously meant is shown by the
fact that these words were duly en-
tered on the clubs minutes.
