Minister to Tend Bar While Saloon
Keeper Goes to church.
San Francisco Examiner

San Francisco examiner.
The Rev. Francis H. Robinson. pastor
of the Westminster Presbyterian Church
at Berkeley, has long been anxious that
Sampel Fisher, a West Berkeley saloon
keeper, attend divine SERVES. He spoke
to FISHER about it some time ago, and
Fisher said he wouldn't mind trying a
sample sermon, only he had no one to
leave in his place behind the bar.
why L will tend bar while you go to
service" said the clergyman.
Blu Fisher took the proposition as a
joke until a day or two ago, when the
clergyman called on him again and re-
two made an astonishing agreement.
By this agreement the saloon man is
pledged TO go TO church on Sunday after
next, and the pastor is pledged TO stand
behind the bar during the proprietor's alb
sehce and serve all and n drinks that
he cannot talk the customers out OF i'm
billing. Moreover, the Rev. Mr.. Robinson
promises TO pay for his own eloquence
whenever it shall prevail. That is 10 say,
if a thirsty Berkeleyite orders a gin fzz,
say, while the Rev. MIR. Robinson is on
watch, and is talked out of drinkin Ii dur
ing the process of mixing, then the gen.
tleman of the cloth will pour the hzz on
the floor and himself put the price of the
demon drink in the till out of his own
pocket. The saloon man cannot lose either
way, and in order TO give everybody a
square chance the clergyman is reading up
the ~"Barkeepers' Handy Guide and in
vestigating the scientific theories OF draw
ing a stream beer of much red and little
white. The Rev. Mr.. Robinson also prom
ises that no Carrie Nation violence will be
used on the fixtures. bottles and glassware.

Paid the Sixty Cents.

Philadelphia Telegraph.
One day a woman knocked at the door
OF a young matron in a South Side hotel
and asked her TO change a $40 note so the
caller could pay a laundry bill. The young
matron could not change the bill, but she
loaned the 60 cents needed. That night

The Comedian Seems to Have Found
the Fountain of Perpetual Youth.

j. S.. Metcalfe, in Ladies' Home Journal.
In Florida. where Ponce de Leon failed to
discover the fountain of perpetual youth,
Joseph Jefferson seems to have found it.
He is a picturesque figure. His rudy
cheeks and bright eyes give the lie to his
seventy-two years. He is slender. but not
with the %leanness of age. His hair, mostly
black, streaked only here and there with
gray, and in length showing a wholesome
contempt for the fine art of the barber,
blows about in the breeze. His fingers are
as quick and deft at knottipg a line or
adjusting a sinker as those of a boy on the
banks of a stream, and he enters into every
detail with boyish enjoyment. His fishing
he alternates with landscape painting,
writing and the care of plants. In none
Of these pursuits does he claim professional
skill. but he brings to them something
more than professional zest. Mr.. Jefferson
is a very abstemious man. In eating, as in
other things-except occupation in the open
air-he evidently believes in moderation as
a means to well 1fvingeand long living. He
did not join in our after-luncheon smoke,
stating that if he had not given up tobacco
a good many years ago he felt sure that
he would not be with. us now. Whatever
the secret of his long and useful life. it is
safe to say that every one of his countless
friends and admirers would be glad TO
lengthen IL by a fulfillment of his own Rips
favorite benediction Here's his health
and his fami,y's, and may they live long
and prosper"

Kansas City Star. ssel.

Kansas City Star. sasI-
Nothing finer is to be seen nowadays
than the magnificent physical condition of
the officers and soldiers returning from the
Philippines. To watch them passing
through the Union Station in Kansas City
on their way home is a gnuine pleasure.
They look so proud and healthy and
strong. There is in this an evidence of the
perfected methods of the army and also of
the splendid Drawn and sinew of American
manhood.
Within recent years there has appeared a
set of detected persons who have sounded
alarms about the decadence of the Amer
lean youth. just as fears we're and are still
expressed for the perpetuity of the govern
ment and the deterioration of the staple
virtues. The alarm about the physical de-
generacy of the Americans has been sub
dued. 1t was silenced by the war.
In the magnificent regiments and naval
crews which added luster TO the American
arms there was no cause for drivel about
the decline of physical vigor. The young
men of this day and age rallied for war
with as brave. and formidable a front as
their forefathers. The spectacle OF these
a deep sense of security and peace.
In the old world the former talk about
the military weakness of the big CONNER
cial Republic and its helplessness in the
event of war has ceased. The stalwart
young fellows who may be seen every day
at the Kansas City Union Station. erect.
clear-eyed. wearing the United States uni
forms. have wrought a mighty change.

UNCLE DAN'L."


Memphis Commercial Appeal.
The oil boom in Beaumont, Tex. has
brought to the surface a once conspicuous
character, who has been concealed from
the public eve for some years, in the person
of Uncle Danl l.. McGary. Uncle Danl
was chaplain in the Mexican war, but was
retired as s-uperannuated at his own re-
quest, on the day Of the battle of Buena
Vista. Since then he has been an editor
and a philanthropist, dividing his time be-
tween his paper. The Age, which he moves
about with him wherever he goes, and in
helping deserving fellow-men. He furnished
the funds with which Alex. T.. Sweet and
j. Annoy Knox established the once fam
Gus Texas Siftings, he fitted out an eXpedi-
ton TO explore Buffalo bayou. he supported
the Houston Press Club for years. he can
not sleep at night unless he is on a note
for Editor Johnson, of the Houston Post.
he has paid for all of the fishing tackle and
bait used by Editor bill" Sterett, of the
Dallas News. and he has made Sunday
schools possible in, Texas. The wise ones
surmise that ii is Uncle Dan'l, and not the
Standard Oil Company, that is behind 10
Bailey in that gentleman's effort to pur-
chase such vast sweeps OF the outside crust
of the earth and liz is as good as known
that he is behind Editor Cranfl and ex-
Governor Hogg in their big syndicate. He
is supposed TO have discovered the foun-
tain of youth, as he is fifty years younger
tnan he was fifty years ago. He is a rare
character, is Uncle Dan'l, and he is one
helping a friend. He is in Beaumont now,
growing up with that city. and the light
OF his countenance shines brighter than
any or the great "gushers' when on fire.
