DRUNKEN CHICKENS.
Prohibitionist Fed Fowls With Fer
mented Blackberries.
From the Indianapolis News.

From the Indianapolis News.
The neighbors of w. S. Terrier, the we'll
known newspaper man and temperance
worker, are having a lot of fun at his ex-
pense.
Mr.. Terrier formerly conducted the Clark
County Record, a prohibition paper, In
Charlestown, Ind, and he is one of the
most prominent men of that party in this
section of the state He retired from bust
ness, however, and his chief care is a large
flock of fine chickens.
Last week he ran across a jar of black
berries, left over from last season. They
were spoiled by fermentation, and, without
thought of the result, he threw them out
to the chickens. Now, Mr.. Terrier is a be-
lever in soberneSS, as indicated by his
whole career in life. He would no more
deal in intoXicantS than he would cut off
his right hand; but that did not help the
chickens a bit They ate freely of the
blackberries, and soon it was plain that
they were befuddled.
One staid old hen tried to look as though
she didn't intend to go home till morning,
executed a fancy spin and fell on her crop
in beastly state of intoxication. Another
tried to pick up corn, but was so Wally-
eyed that it could no more locate the kerr
nels than it could read a book on morals.
dignifed rooster got the notion that his
body would go wherever there was room
for his neck. and he insisted on walking
full tide on, flew on top of a fence and
tried to crow, and fell off, striking on it's
tail with scandalous awkwardness, then roll
ing over on it's back and clawing The air
The geese over in the next yard looked on
In amazement when old hen tried to
firt. using her right leg as the signal
number of the younger fowls tried to do the
split. and went around in a circle, some
dragging their crops on the ground others
looking cross-eyed, and some othars step
ping on their own feet. Mr.. Terrier thought
of bromo. but the chicks were out for "a
time and turned him down cold. They
didn't want bromo while the jag lasted.
When roosting time came a few of them
tried to get into position to sleep off the ef-
fects of the carousal but it was 10 use.
In some cases the tail overbalanced the
head and In others the head got away with
the tail, and they would go spinning around
the roost like reckless athletes.
motherly old creature, overcome by re-
morse, jumped into water trough and
tried to drown herself. She was too light
headed to sink. however, and was compelled
to stay with 1t. Three of the chickens died
and the others went to the bum room for
the night. Next morning all had yellow
combs and coated tongues and acted as
though they were ashamed.
Mr.. Terrier has not explained why he per-
mitted his barnyard pets to get tanked up,
but he says the affair furnished a powerful
object lesson for the liquor drinker, and
that when the big rooster tried to crow the
following morning his effort sounded as
though he were trying to say:
ooh what a night

ARTS OF THE CRIMINAL.
London Doctors Adventure With the
"Gainsborough" Thief.

From the Nineteenth Century and After.
Sir Robert Anderson, K. C. B., the assist
ant commissioner Of police of London. in an
article on professional criminals says
Some years ago doctortfriend of mine,
who has large practice in one of the sub
urbs, spoke TO me about a mysterious pa
tient of his. Now and then he fastened to
the mans house in response to an urgent
message asking for his immediate attend
ance, but though he always found him IN
bed he never could discover anything
serious the matter with him.
'tBut a strange incident had recently oc-
Cured. When, in compliance with a sum-
mons more urgent even than usual, my
friend hurriedly entered his patients room.
the man sprang up in the bed and covered
him with revolver. As matter OF fact.
It was this seemingly eccentric Individual
who stole the famous Gainsborough picture
which Mr., Agnew recovered in such a dra-
matte manner.

sued against it. and, moreover, s346, 6s1 O16
in United States notes and $3O,O0oO00 in
treasury notes, or over $4,000, 600 more
than it's own value. The question may well
be considered whether the United States
notes may not properly be turned by Con-
gress into gold certificates. They have
much that quality already, and the change
could be gradually made as the supply OF
the yellow metal takes on greater proper
lions.
Demand for Small Notes.
The demands of the people for notes of
small denominations have surprised the
closest students of the currency In 1890
there were 81 $50 pieces Of government
paper issued, Of the average value of Sc. 61
In 1902 the issue was s116,697.s STA and the
average value 81. The facilities for produc-
ton have been often increased, and now
seem to be sufficient for present require
ments. The currency distributed from
Washington to the subtreasuries and banks
during the fiscal year amounted to $751;
319Ss5, against 1913, 912, 1914 in the year pre-
ceding.
The act of March IA, 1900, makes it the
duty OF the Secretary of the Treasury to
maintain the parity of value Of all forms
of money issued or coined by the United
States with the gold standard defined and
fixed by that law. This parity has been
and Is now easily maintained and all kinds
of government money are exchangeable
with each other
The inflow of gold permitting the free is
sue of gold certificates of $40 and upward,
is the key to this maintenance Of parity and
interchangeability of all kinds of govern
ment money. On the other hand, small de-
nominations, including silver coin, are con-
stantly in demand for the myriad transac-
tons of retail trade and the current uses
of rural communities, as well for pay
rolls in furnaces and factories and harvest
fields.
The treasury in recent years continues
the report, has heard much more clamor
for silver and small notes than for gold. 1t
is now abundantly able to meet all calls for
every kind of money for it's own obligations,
for redemption and for legitimate transfers
AS a result of the movements which have
been noted our government paper currency
is gaining in simplicity. Gradually all large
Gates and the smallest silver certificates
while in time all $40 notes will be United
States notes.
There was net increase during the fiscal
year of 1868 banks, 437 charters having been
granted and SO surrendered. The total
number Of banks chartered to June 80
1902, was $685., of which 1915 were in op-
Grafton and / 779 out of existence.
There was unusual activity in the move
ment of silver and minor coin to and from
the treasury. The shipments Of silver dol
lars reached $40, 4O4, 325 exceeding all for
mer records and the returns for exchange
were 81, 710,690 greater than the issues.
The amountsof subsidiary coin outstand-
ing was increased by $3,114,S52 to $50 S14,-
$40. There was a marked falling off in the
amount of spurious coin and paper money

National Banks.

The banks with securities pledged for cir
culation on June 80 numbered 1854, making
an addition during the year of 81. Those
with pledges for public moneys depos t d
were SIT.
For more than 30 per cent of the banks
the deposits for circulation are less than
100000, and for nearly one-third Of the
banks the bonds fall below $25 900 in each
case. Out of the l sol banks with securities
pledged for less than $4,000, 40 have bonds
for no more than $4,000 each with the
treasurer: This number increased 2}5 dur
ing the fiscal year.
The bonds for circulation, which were, on
October 1, 1901, S330.693, $50, fell to S315,-
754, 630 on June f. 1902, rising to s317, 03s $50
on June 30. On October l they were 1926,
O23,2IO, and on November /, S:'3s, 0S2, go.
These changes show a measure of elasticity
in notes based on bonds.
To the general stock OF money in the coun-
try addition of $50, 1875, 6S1 was made
during the fiscal year. OF this s67, $50, 527
was in gold coin and bullion. There was
also an increase of $40, 1856, $50 in standard
dollars, and of 1890, 991 in subsidiary sil-
Yer. United States notes remained under
the law unchanged. Treasury notes fell off
S11,1S3,00O National bank notes received
an increment of 50 SOL, $50.
The gold coin and bullion October / ex-
ceeded all other kinds of money, excluding
national bank notes, by 500, 36S, 433. In
five years the ratio of gold in the country to
total circulation has run up from &c 80 to

The advance in circulation in the volume
of gold including certificates, within twelve
years by the large sum of s433, 703,516 is

fiscal year was s61. 966, ia. The increase in
the future can hardly be less than $5O, 000-
600 to sec, 0OO, coo a year. The mines, the
report says, are thus confirming the gold
standard steadily and invincibly, and 1t
adds:
For the immediate present, and doubt
less for few years at least, the inflow of

Bad Taste
in the Mouth

When you get up i'll the morning
with coated tongue and bad taste
in the mouth, you may or may not
be seriously i'll, but if there is any
disease going, you will catch it.
Even though you catch" no def
mite disease, you are likely to be
worse before you are better unless
you attend to yourself.
We know what you think-frst
you are half persuaded to try Vinol,
and then you say to yourself: That's
the same story all the medicines tell;
we've heard it before"
But Vinol is not like other medi-
cines. If it were, we shouldn't be
talking about it.
Vinol is not a secret medicine.
Any doctor will tell you that cod
liver oil (the principal ingredient in
VinoD, has been the recognized
standard tonic and body-builder for
three hundred years, and would be
today except that the old kind tastes
so bad folks won't and can't take it.
Vinol- is made by remarkable
chemical process which cuts out the
grease and bad taste and leaves all
the medicinal qualities of cod liver
oil intensified.

It doesn't help you.

WHERE TO BEGIN.

Our law MAKERS at Washington have
discovered that an effective measure,
directed specifically against anarch-
ism, is as hard 10 frame as a law COM
pelling men to like summer better
than winter.
The root Of the trouble is, that you
cannot leglslate against a state Of
mind We must remember that courts
and prisons. judges and iailers are
not after all the great securities ofour
property and lives. In the maintenance
of just government our writs, sub
poonas and decisions ere dead instru-
ments compared with the force of an
active and Intelligent public opinion.
Although there can be no absolute
protection against the yagaries Of an
anarchist just government is our
strongest safe guard.

The GRASPlNG TRUSTS.

The Citizen has frequently express
ed the opinion that it was incredible
that Mr. Oxnards beet-sugar industry
was powerful enough TO prevent Con-
gress from taking the action in regard
to Cuba that deceney and national
honor demanded We have urged that
the organized tariff beneticiaries-th
trusts and the protective associations
were really responsible for this
wrong. Conclusive evidence al this fact
is now furnished by a circular petit
ton that is being sent broadcast over
the country by the American Protec-
tive Tariff League This circular says;
Dear Sir-Eyery member OF Congress
Is glad to have the opinion of consti-
tuents as to pending proposed leglsla-
tiOn Ihe Dlngley tariff has occom-
pljshed greater results in behalf OF
the prosperity Of the country than It's
most sauguine friends had anticipated.
Any change i'll the Dingley tariT in
connection with the pending reciprocity
treaties or reciprocity concessions
will lessen the benefits of our pres
ent tariff laws, and We trust that you
Wln cooperate in having the attached
pcution generally signed and immed-
lately forwarded To your Represent
atiye in Congress or united States
Senator.
The attached petition" has blank
spaces for the nams OF the Congress
man addressed. and ror the names
Ind addresses of the signeTs. 1t reads
follows.
We note with apprehension the pos
sible effect OF pending reciprocity
treaties and possible reciprocity CON
cessions. We believe in the policy Of
protection to American industries as
embodied in the Dingley tariff. We
earnestly ask that you will give your
influence against any plan which viii
sacrifice or injure any American IN
dusly.
This is the real situation The tariff
barons are banded together in selfish
iltc,est to prevent the abatement Of
one iot or one little of their plunder. no
matter what reason there may be for
it. They are ready to sacrifice national
honor or anyth .ug else in order that
they may keep their power to ieVy tri-
butte Oh the American people They
talk about patriotism and pride in the
development of the country. but they
have no patriotism that rises above
the development Of their poekotbooks,
And this is condition which ad-
yoCatcs of reciprocity who have given
support 10 the stated policy OF Presi-
dent Mckinley and President Roose-
welt cannot afford to ignore. The tariff
trusts are now fighting the leaders ol
the party that made them rather than
give up a particle Of their pound OF
flesh. The Frankenstein that has been
built up in this country is as devoid OF
conscience as a machine OF brass and
iron. There is but one way to get ont
OF its eylT influence. and that is TO des-
troy the source Of it. A tariff for
revenue only, with all trust products
on the free list will do it.
