A Memorable Ride.

The most memorable ride In English
history was that Of Sir Arthur Owen

on the throne of Great Britain. The

BY only one vote. and this casting vote
was given by Sir Arthur Owen. the
member Of parliament for Pembroke

time to record his vote. having ridden
with furious haste from Wales for the
purpose on relays Of horses kept at all
the posting houses along the route. To
that ride Britain owes its Georgian

Oneo Met His Match.

Once Met His Match.
The late Professor virch0w was, in
his own country at least, almost as
famous for his excessive bluntness of
speech as for his very remarkable men,
tai attainments, says the Philadelphia
Press. Often be spoke so unfeelingly
to the students who sat under him in
The lecture rooms that they have been
known to leave his classes and not re-
turn. According to Berlin traditions,
one of the professors favorite replies
to wrong answer to one Of his ques-
tions was:
Certainly not. Any cook would
know better than that"
On the other hand, he seemed to ap-
preciate the spirit in some Of his stu.
dents which prompted them to answer
him back In very much his own tone.
Once when he was presiding in very
old and faded suit of clothes lie turned
suddenly upon seemingly bashful
man sitting near him and asked:
do your eyes tell you the truth?
What color Is this coat Of mineT
Without an instant's hesitation the
young man rose and said: 81 presume
it was ones black. Now 1t is any color
except white"
That student was passed.

1t Is with pleasure that We call the
attention Of the trade. and private fam.
lilies, to the fact that owing to- the In.
creasing demand for bottled ale and
porter Of undOubted purity and Of the
finest quality, we are now bottling the
same under our own supervision.
The frequent use Of adulterants and
substitutes for malt and hops In the
manufacture Of malt liquors has re-
suited In an inquiry for an article Of
domestic manufacture, wholly free
from anything of a harmful or deleteri-
GUS nature, and at price that would
commend Its use to all. The failure
hitherto to obtain such an article has
led consumers to purchase imported
goods at high price.
Therefore we are prepared to place
on the market bottled ale and porter
unexcelled In quality, equal In every
respect to the imported, at q much
lower price.
Our goods being manufactured from
the choicest barley malt and the best
hops In the market, no substitutes
whatever being used, and, being bottled
by ourselves at Waukegan. enables US
to offer to our customers an absolute
guaranty Of their purity and quality.
Families can obtain these goods Of
all the leading fancy srocers, the prin-
cipal hotels, restaurants and druggists.
