THIS MAN Whales WHISKY.
Queer Way i'm Which Reformed To-
per Gratifies His Appetite
for Alcohol

"Give me pony of brandy, quick!"
exclaimed q nervous-looking man as
he rushed up to the bar in Chicago
hotel the other afternoon. The
liquor was at once forthcoming, but
instead of gulping it down, as the
mans manner naturally suggested
that he would do, he poured a lit
tie into the palms of his hands,
rubbed them together, and buried
his nose in his hands, says the Inter
Ocean. He gave long-drawn shifts of
inhalation until the liquor had evap-
grated, and then poured more from
the glass into his hands. This oper-
alton he repeated until the glass was
empty. Then he paid for his drink
and went out with look of content
ment on his face.
What's the answer?" asked an
interested spectator.
cit simply means that there are
more ways than one of beating the
devil around the stump" said the
bartender. "That man swore of
drinking the first of the year, and
don't believe he has swallowed 9
drop of liquor since. He inhales il
now-always brandy. I've known
him to come in here as often as five
or six times in one day and &c
through the performance you have
| just seen. These swear-off fellows
are queer fish. I know another man
who stopped drinking whisky anc
took to bitters-the kind you put a
| dash of into cocktails. He Travelled
with a drinking crowd, and every
time the others took whisky ht
would pour out drink of bitters
| No; it didn't make him drunk, bu'
it nearly ruined his stomach. HI
spent month in the hospital. ant
| then went back to the real stuff"

1t is no longer claimed that the

connection it is interesting to note
that buyers, independent of the com

of them being about to close some I'M

do not Insist on large minimum out

the large minimum clause in the CON

At recent dinner party in Washing

pense of Representative Norton, of

early in his career Norton graduated
in medicine and took up the practice,
later giving it up for the more enticing
practice of politics" The story in
question was told by one of DR.. Nor
tons colleagues from Ohio and was as
follows:

they could do nothing more for me.

THE VALUE OF NATURE STUDY
AND ART.
By Matte NesseD

One OF tise chief purposes of Nature
Study is the value of having pupils
obtain their knowledge at first-hand.
Reading. Arithmetic, Geography and
Grammar furnish information that
someone else has prepared; habit is
therefore formed of depending on
what someone else has observed or
thought out. The judgement as well
as the observing powers thus fail to
be trained.
1t also keeps the child in sympathy
with nature. The fact that the
country is forsaken and that people
crowd into the cities is doubtless
caused by the mode Of education given

THEIR DIFFERENCES SETTLED.
fhinixy Wright correspondence
Published at Aunusta

Augusta, Ga, Feb. i6.-Your readers
are familiar with the recent sharp pas
sage between Bowdre Phinizy, editor of
the Augusta Herald and Boykin Wright
attorney. in the City Council, over the
street franchise case. and the subsequent
meeting in the Commercial Club, where
Wright struck Phinizy, and friends in
terfered Phinizy published a card de-
hying the Chronicles account Of the
meeting in the club, and the next day
Wright published card contradicting
Phinizy's account. and substautiatlne the
chronicles story. j. p. Verdery and
William dAntignac published similar
cards.
Personal correspondence was then begun
oy Phinizy with Wright and progressed
several days, when DR.. William II.
Doughty, Maj. j, H. Alexander ana Mr..
Ihomas X. Scott, a mutual friends. ad-
dressed a letter to each of them, propos-
ing the appointment by each OF two
friends, the four to select a fifth and
this board to take the matter in hand
Tor settlement honorable to both This
overture was accepted by both. Phinizy
named Thomas Barrett, Jr., and j. Is
walker. Wright named Joseph b. Cum
ming and William T. Gary. These select
ed DR.. William II. Doughty To this
board the correspondence between Phln-
Ivy and Wright was submitted where
upon they advised as follows: Your
differences, as declared by your CORE
spondence, hereto appended, are not suf-
hcient to warrant its further prosecution.
We, therefore, recommend that without
further discussion and without prejudice

Accompanying this Recommendation

from Wright and Phinizy, abiding by the

SET A Precedent IN WAR.
Rattle of New Orleans showed value
of Good Marksmnnshfp.

From the New Orleans Times-Democrat.
The battle of New Orleans was the
first occasion in history" said an ex-
officer of volunteers, Tin which highly dis
ciplined troops, working together with
machinelike precision, We're pitted against
individual marksmen, and it is a curious
fact that the tactics adopted by the
Americans in that engagement are just
now, after the lapse of nearly century,
being recognized by modern military au-
thorities as the proper way to fight. Our
British cousins are little slow to learn"
continued the eX-Ofiicer, "and history has
to repeat itself few times before it at
tracts their attention. Nevertheless it
seems very strange that the lesson they
received at Chalmette in 1915 should have
been duplicated in almost every particu-
lar only two years ago at the Tugela
river On both occasions they Were con-
fronted by earthworks manned by
civilian sharpshooters and attempted to
rush them with compact masses of spleu-
didly drilled professional soldiers, and on
both occasions they were frghtfully and
eXpeditiOusly licked
after the Tugela river disaster they
began to do little hard thinking and
finally came to the conclusion that one
hook and brings down a man every time
he pulls the trigger is worth twenty
fancydrilled soldiers who fire In squads
and never hit anything except the
landscape. But they might have acquired
exactly the same information eighty-six
years ago at New Orleans. and when I
read the accounts of that remarkable bat
tie / am filled with admiration for the
genius of Andrew Jackson. The majority
of his troops were rough backwoodsmen
who knew nothing about the manual Of
arms, but were magnificent rifle shots
Jackson wasted no time at drills and the
only advice he gave was not to throw
away any ammunition and wait until they
saw the whites of the enemys eyes be-
fore they fired. That was his sole chance
of winning the day and he had COM
mauded a similar number of trained vet
Grams he would have been simply over
whelmed AS it was his backwoodsmcn
picked off the British one by one and lit
orally annihilated whole battalions before
they could reach the foot of the entrench-
ments
1T is absolutely certain i'm my opinion,
that the fighting of the future will be
done in that fashion. Less and less at
tention will be paid to drills and more and
more attention will be paid to target
practice When an army enters into ac-
tion it will spread out in open formation
and every fellow will proceed TO make it
a personal affair. That's the view taken
by the leading authorities of the present
day, but the originator of the idea was
the grim old gentleman whose effigy be-
strides the prancing steed in Jackson
Square He was over three-quarters of a
century I'm advance Of the times"
