Hot Drink Habit.

tAThe American is gradually learning
cative bartender. .It has taken him
long time, but he is now beginning. to
come to his senses. How do we notice
it? Oh, in a great many ways. For in
stance, just as one Illustration, there is
the decline of the hot drink habit. 1t
used to be that just as soon as the raw.
chilly days set in there would be a call
for hot Scotch, and various punches
brewed with hot water. Behind every
bar you would see a highly polished sill
yer or nickel boiler with an alcohol lamp
burning under it. Men would come in.
shiver bit, shrug their shoulders and
call for something hot They would sip
it and go out again into the chill air, and.
ten chances to one, catch a severe cold
The habit is dying out, and it Is good
thing. The hot-water tank is no longer
very much in evidence, and men are
learning a thing OF two. l could cite
other instances in proof of my theory
that Americans are learning how to drink,
but what's the use? They are evident to
any one who keeps his eyes OPEN

William II. Crane will close a sue
cessful weeks engagement at the Met
ropolitan opera house with the mat
inee and evening performances today.
In this comedy Mr.. Crane has scored
the greatest hit of his brilliant career,
and it is likely that the public will in
sist on it's repetition for many seasons
to come.
E. H Sothern, in the romantic
drama, IF I Were King will be the
attraction at the Metropolitan opera
house Monday, Tuesday and Wednes-
day evinings of next week. There will
be but three performances, as Mr..
Sothern does not play midweek mat
inee. The curtain will rise at o'clock
sharp each evening.
The patrons of the Metropolitan will
enjoy the production of Friends" to-
morrow night. The story is simple
one. The adventures Of two young
men, Friends who share the one
dress suit between them and who sac
rifice everything, one for the other.
One is struggling pianist, the other
a poet The play is replete with COM
edy flashes and well-worked incidents.
The cast includes Mrs. Selma Fetter
Royle, Miss Mabel DiXey, Miss Irene
Gray, E. Milton Royle, Emmet Shack
elford, H. B. Bradley and Wright
Cramer.
..On the SuWanee River" will termi-
nate it's engagement at the Grand opera
house with two performances today,
the matinee at 2:30 and the regular
evening performance at 8:15. The play
is one that appeals especially to the
ladies and children, and the matinee
today promises to be record breaker
in point of attendance.
The William H. West Big Minstrel
Jubilee will open its engagement at
the Grand opera house tomorrow even
ing, and the advance sale indicates that
standing room will be at a premium
for the opening performance. The
West show this season is said to en-
brace a number of the highest safaried
and most famous features ever pre-
sented in connection with minstrel
entertainment.

The fine diplomatic language viii

The fine diplomatic language which
we read in the Washington dispatches
these days finds a parallel nowhere
outside the London cable dispatches Of
the Associated Press. Those of the
former which relate. to Panama con-
Germs might lead to the suspicion by
anybody, save a trained diplomat like
Secretary Hay that somebody is going
to be gouged-most probably a state
by the name of Colombia.

rip Van Winkle."

New Years Day dawned bright and
fair and the people of our little city,
after the customary turning of the
leaf, gave themselves up to the enjoy
ing of the day after their own fashion.
The time passed peacefully on and it
seemed as though nothing would occur
to disturb the quiet Of the day, when
as the shadows began to chase them
selves across the sky, terrible noise
was heard. People from all over the
city rushed into the streets with fear
depicted upon their features. Again
and again came the awful crashing
sound, till it seemed as though the
trembling auditors could bear it no
longer, when upon the air there broke
a mighty cheer, and there came down
the street eight men; four of them
with happiness written all over their
countenances. Upon inquiring it was
learned that the doctors and bankers
had played match game of ten-pins,
the doctors coming out winners with
five points in the lead. The total and
individual scores were as follows:

The Publishers Protest.

Elsewhere we publish an article
from the Arena, of special interest to
every family, as we'll as to newspaper
publishers. The means afforded the
press of the country, for disseminat-
ing knowledge to the people at trifling
cost, is to be denied them, not because
of the law, but because of the unlaw-
full ruling of department. o ficial.
The appointment of congressman
Loud of California as chairman of the
committee on postoffices, etc., is
fraught with danger to a free press
and its cheap circulation to the peo-
pie. The cost of every department.
of the government is paid by the peo-
pie directly or Indirectly, through
some me ethod of taxation, and the
postotfice is the only one nearly self
supporting. They, who have rmade
the postoffice nearly self-supporting,
support and pay the entire cost of
every other department. through the
various methods of taxation resorted
to by the government.
The exercise of despotic or unau.
thorlzed authority when begun, pro-
crosses with ever accelerating strides.
A new ruling just promulgated by
the postoffice officials is, that a sub
scription to any publication, entered
as second-claSs matter, must be dis
continued when the time for which
ii is paid in advance has expired.
This ruling is unauthorized by any
law and is direct assault upon coun-
try newspapers, whose subscribers are
generally continuous from year to
year. 1t attempts to say to the pub
fishers of country newspapers that
they shall not extend credit for the
price of their paper to those who de-
sire its continued visits, and If they
do, that they shall not have the use
of the postot1ice and of the mails to
reach them. 1t means the unauthor
lied suppression of a large portion of
the country press at the dictation of
a government official in defiance of
law and right. This is the situation
that is up to the rural press of the
country, whether democrat, anti-mo-
nopolist or republican. 1t is an inter-
ference in the business affairs of the
public without reason or justification
and deserves to meet with the disap-
proval of the public.

OF course they are aware that there
will be no more shooting for them, as
the reputation of Styles and Freemire
for dead shots and unexcelled bags of

as a dead shot is known all over the
northwest. Freemire is a local crack
shot whom all the sports in north
La. and southern Mimi, are acquaint-
ed, as they have all met him at the
trap and in the field to their sorrow.

BEMIDJI - MlNN.
Frightened by a Circus Lion.
BEMIDJI,

Dan Bechtel, Of Brookfeld, tells
the Kansas City Journal a story
about night ride he once took with
a loose lion, which, as he says, tends
to ''make the goosetlesh creep a lit
tle." Bechtel for IA years was an
engineer on the Hannibal e. st. Jo-
seph railroad. One night in 1888
he left Macon for Shelbina, his en-
CINE pulling the Wallace shows. 1t
was very dark, and he had orders not
to run faster than Is miles an hour.
Bechtel says he was kidding" the
fireman and head brakeman about.
what would happen if some of the
wild animals should get loose, when
he looked up and saw an old lion on
top of the cars, moving slowly and
gingerly toward the engine.
"When the brakeman and fireman
realized what was coming" says
Bechtel, "they made dive for the
cab door, and were soon riding on the
front of the engine. Mr.. Lion came
to the first car and stood there, crit
ically examining the engine. The
firebox was open, and that kept him
back, as he did not seem to know
what to make Of the bright, dazzling
light. I gave whistle that would
scare ghosts, but it did not phase
the lion. We soon began to lose
steam and the train had to slow
down. When we reached Shelbina,
Conductor Pratt came up, making
big kick because we had been going
slow. I pointed to the first car, and
Pratt quickly retreated.
'"The trainer soon came and took
the big fellow to his cage. He had
found a loose bar, which he worked
out. With the fireman and brake
man on the front end and the show
people and Conductor Pratt on the
rear end, it seemed as if the lion was
getting too close. | thought Of all
the mean things I had ever done, and
held to the throttle and let the en-
gine 60 as fast as she would with what
steam I still had on"
