John Drew, the actor, tells the fol-
lowing amusing story as one OF the
BEST stores be ever heard: A man
who was killed in the Johnstown
food entered the gates OF heaven. He
had just been through some exciting
scenes, was filled with the horrors OF
what he had seen and felt that be
must tell some one. The first person
be met was an old man. 10 whom he
drew lurid picture Of the deyast-
alton 10 the place he had just left.
The old man seemed Indifferent and
even bored BY the story. The Penn.
sylvanian was surprised, and told the
next man he saw that he could not
understand the old mans indifference
TO such a tale. The second man said,
"Why, that is not surprising. That
old man is Noah"

Did you ever realize that the courts
can decide question upon either side
with apparently as much justice ana
fairness as the reverse offers? Re
member this when you are gOlUg 10
law, and remember that the courts
are as uncertain as a lottery. 10 the
United States supreme court yester-
day an opinion was handed down 10
the case Of the Cleveland, Cincinnati,
Chicago Il ST. Louis railroad against
the state If Illinois, which illustrates
this. The case involved the cOnstitu-
tioDality OF the state law requiring
all trains TO stop at county seats 10
the state, and the proceeding Origina-
ted 10 the form OF writ Of mandsmls
IN compel the "Knickerbocker Spp-
cial,' running between New York
and ST. Louis, 10 stop at all county
seat stations. The case was decided
10 favor Of the state by the Illinois
supreme court, Oh the ground that
the law was regularly and properly
passed, by a legislature having full
power TO regulate such questions.
The United States supreme court re-
verSed the decision, on the ground
that the law was direct and unnec-
essary burden on interstate commerce.

tlished IN London concerning the rela-
tive consumption OF beer, wine and
liquor in Great Britain, the United
States, Germany and France, are ap-
Proximately correct, it is apparent
that Americans are by far the most
temperate Of the four nationalit.eS.
Thus it is asserted that the average
German CONSUMES annually over twice
as much beer as the average
American, or about twenty.Six gal
Ions, as compared with a trife more
than twelve aud half gallons in this
country; While the people OF the
United Kins dom manage to absorb
thirty-Oue gallons Of the amber fluid
per bead every twelve months. 1t is
true that the French drink a little
over five gallons OF beer pr head, hut
their consumption Of strongly alcO-
hOlic beverages is nearly two gallons
for each citizen, while the American
consumption is less than nine-ten.hs

Use wine at the rate Of nearly twenty
Eve gallons per capita, an averag more
than seventy times as large as the
individual use Of wine here. The in
