Man Never without Beer.

When the Romans first invaded
Germany they found that the bever-
age of the people was a liquor pro-
duced from barley. From the earliest
times and in every cline man has re-
sorted to some stimulating beverages
prepared by fermenting the jucies OF
extracts from fruits, grains or plants.
II is said that Osiris as early as 1860
B. C. taught the process of extracting
the juice from barley and ~fermenting
it, while the Greeks learned how to

the horse across the nose with his

"Hooray for grandpa!" shouted the

An old Dominican friar, who had
served his church for 40 years in
the Philippines, was asked by his fell
lows to write a book describing the
characteristics, habits and customs
of the Filipino people. To this he
agreed, with the proviso that no one
should see his work until after his
death. When he died in Manila this
year the book was found among his
effects. On the first page was the

written: 'This is all / know, after

Il have been told that It is true, but It

the best way to elect both OF them was
TO nominate. Il must be remembered that
neither Mr.. Bryan nor Mr.. Towne is in
timately acquainted with the present Git
