Mrs. Hollis Curtis on 4th and Grand

The game Of the afternoon was high

making an interesting game. Mre. Ed
Little was awarded a very handsome
china plate as the first prize and Mrs.
Charles Wallis was obliged to content
herself with the BOBBY prize. The lat

when it was awarded, as 1T consisted of a
little doll chair neatly decorated, on the
bottom oi which was painted the words

During the afternoon Mrs. Will
Struthers and Miss Hardy presided at
the punch bowl.

card tables were cleared away and the

the leader of the house, takes from
This, as is generally known, contains
a program of the business to be
transacted at that evenings sitting.
Having seated himself, he studies the
paper intently for few seconds, and,
having apparently mastered it's con-
tents, throws it from him with an i'm
patient gesture. Mr. Chamberlain then
readjusts his eye-glass, thrusts his
legs straight out before him, and looks
round the house. On rising to speak
he places his neatly written notes on
the brass bound box before him, AMI,
having put the edges straight, fires

and uses scarcely any gesture. Most
dangerous when most polite. his face
becomes like piece of parchment
when reused to anger. In the art of
crushing an adversary by an incon-
venient quotation or by some personal
thrust Mr.. Chamberlain is unequaled.
1t is this gift that makes him as for
midable on the platform as he is in
the House of Commons. At public
meetings he always seems to expect
few of his old radical friends among
the audience. But woe be to the inter
rupter! Led on by the orator with
seductive question, his opponent gives
just the reply expected. Back like
lightning comes a crushing retort,
and thenceforth all is smooth sailing.

committed to memory. His voice is

his enunciation perfect.-Chambers

Sevcd Ribbing, the famous professor OF
medicine at the Swedish University of
Lund, makes these remarkable statements
in concluding an address on one phase of
the drink curse:

youth for an answer, 4 was somewhat un-
der the influence of liquor Through
drunkenness and in drunkenness one ac-
customs himself to conditions which, un-
der ordinary circumstances, would be re-
ligiously stunned In course of time the
sense of shame is overcome, and silenced,
and the evil habits are looked upon as an
everyday necessity. The cases when a
young man will in cold-bloodedness and
with a clear head and with decided inten-
tion throw himself into the arms of pros
titution are very seldom in comparison
with those that happen under the influence
of liquor. An English army physician has
shown figuratively that sickness in troop
is much less among the total abstainers
than with the balance of the RAMS

Three Evil Practices.

In behalf of temperance there are some
simple things which may be advocated with
good results. Practical business men gen.
orally agree that large part of all the
evils of drunkenness are caused by three
practices, namely, drinking at bars, drink
ing in business hours and the habit of
treating. 1t is generally agreed by COM
mercial travellers, and all who in active life
see human nature at all angles, that more
temptation comes out of these three prac-
tices than from any other source Treat
ing, especially, is responsible for many
evils. 1t not only leads to drinking in bar
rooms and in business hours, but it is al
most the sole cause of the excess which,
practiced indefinitely finally becomes
habit always difficult to overcome, some
times impossible. Business men are more
and more coming to the decision that
drinking in business hours must be abol-
ished. By and by they will go further and
characterize the habit of treating as per-
nicious and therefore ungentlemanly, un-
social and undesirable. The habit of treat
ing has ridiculous side. If that could te
fully recognized, the pernicious habit might
be laughed out of existence.

A Cow Elopes with "a Moose.

The strange story of the elopement
of an ordinary milch COW with bull
moose comes from Lake Onawa, a
pretty sheet of water in the hills of
Piscataquis county, much frequeated
by sportsmen from the big cities. The
COW was the property of DR.. A. T. San
den. whose cottage is located on the
shore of Onawa, and she was kept in
a pasture enclosed by rail fence. A
big moose had been several times seen
hanging around the cottage grounds
late at night, displaying great bold
ness. Thursday night he came close
up to where the COW was, and the two
seemed to be good friends. Late at
night tremendous crash was heard,
and the next morning the fence was q
wreck. and the COW gone. Neither she
nor the moose has been seen since. =

BEYCNS CIVILIZATION -
Conditions in the Hudson Fay Counir

Described by a Visitor.

known districts of Hudson bay, is on
his first visit to civilization. Though

veyance as an electric car.
His life has ben spent among the
Indians and Esquimaux who occupy
the northern parts of Labrador and the
country Immediately east OF Hudson
bay. Contrary to the general belief
arising from the reports of missionary
societies and others, Mr.. Spencer says
that in many respects the different
tribes still adhere to their old customs
and traditions.
Teh Esquimeaux in particular, are,
according to Mr.. Spencer, a very diff
cult people to civilize. There has never
been such a thing as a marriage cere-
mony among them, and the nearest
they have got to one today in the dis
tricts controlled for the company by
Mr.. Spencer is that the young man
generally tries to go to some post to
buy blanket, and that is all the cere
mony there is about it. They are not
SO numerous as formerly, and it is
thought that this falling off is princi
pally due to the fact that for the past
generation they have been taught to
use English and American foods.
Formerly they never even cooked their
meat, and they seemed to derive more
benefit from it raw than in it's cooked
state
Money has not yet come into use
among the people with whom Mr..
Spencer has business dealings. Both
Indians and EsquimeauX bring their
furs into the company's posts and III
return receive different kinds of mer-
chandise. Counters are used which
are known as made beavers" each of
which is worth about 60 cents of our
money.
The chief animals now hunted by
these people are, first, the fox, and
then the marten, beaver, otter, rein
deer and fisher. The silver fox is of
course most eagerly sought, yet not
us GAIL value III SIN-
ilization, the finest specimens sold
at the posts yield only 80 made beay-
ers, or SIS.
BY far the largest amount of the
credit received for furs goes for tobac-
co. When an EsquimauX or an Indian
gets 60 made beavers, it is safe to say
that he spends 50 on tobacco. The Es-
quimaux, in particular will sarrifce
almost anything else for it.
They are wonderfully friendly peo-
pie among themselves, and it is very
seldom, if ever, that Quarrels arise be-
tween the people of different districts.
The same thing cannot be said of the
Indians to the east of Hudson bay.
Mr.. Spencer is authority for the
rather surprising statement that there
has been no falling off in recent years
in the number of furs sent out of this
country.
Nearly all the white men in this ter
ritory marry squaws, and young chill
dren, too, often grow up neglected.
The only education any of them re-
ceive is when missionary happens
to pass that way, for schools are un-
known.-New York Sun.

A Warning,

Henry Ward Beecher, whose sermons
on temperance every young man should
read, said this:
If you say, Yes, l have natural crav-
ing for IT., and then to you | say, That is
the very reason why you should not take
It. II you have no craving for it why
should you peril yourself by it? And if YOU
have such craving, surely, if you are
WISE, you will not put yourself in danger
by indulging it''
Look at the thing from the viewpoint of
your own interest
If you had to employ young men to work
tor you you would avoid drinking men.
Then don't drink whisky yourself. Don't
give every successful, conservative man the
best OF reasons for mistrusting you
very often moral cowardice underlies the
beginning OF drunken career. There are
ideas of good fellowship associated with
drinking.
A hundred thousand young men drink
every day because they are afraid people
will think they are not good fellows"
Have the courage to be a good fellow of
the kind that is not picked in whisky.
When man wonders at your ordering
some harmless stuff, something free from
alcohol, point to the drunkard at the other
end of the bar and say:
That man once thought that bracer
would not hurt him. | am modest enough
me. shall need all my feeble ability to
compete with such geniuses as you other
fellows. Therefore | propose to keep in
tact my brain and the mucous membrane
that lines me-
Remember above all that the truest thing
ever said of strong drink is that it Is "a
mockeF."
Every sensation that comes from whisky
is a mockery. Every promise based on
whisky is mockery The strength of whis-
ky is mock strength.
The friendships of whisky are mock
friendships. How often have you seen
such hideous mockeries of friendship
drunken men with arms around each other
protesting friendship eternal? Whisky
mocks hideously all the sacred feelings in
life. and it destroys them all.
Has whisky no work to do? Yes, it has
an important work. 1t is the policeman,
the executioner among human beings 1t
wipes out the unfit and softens the pain of
their destruction. 1t wipes out families
untitled to survive. 1t shortens the harm
