WHAT GOT HIM IN AWKWARD POSITION.

Clarence H Mackay the president of the new
Pacific Gable Company, has a ready hoW OF
language, but objects heartily to speechmaking.
He attended on occasion supper in Paris
that some American young men were giving
after the theatre and at this supper the rule
was laid down that everybody must tell story.
But when it came to Mr.. Mackay's turn he
asked to be excused. He had, he said, no story
to tell. II hope you will excuse me-" murmured
the young
oh, yes; we'H excuse you," said the chair
man, but on one condition You must, in lieu
of telling a story, drink the drink that we will
now mix for you
A terrible drink then prepared-cham-
pagne beer gin, absinthe, sugar and hot water,
all shaken together in brandy glass that held
over a pint OF course, the young man could
not swallow this. IN tell you,' he said, "a
story, after all,' and he began:
"Once there was a thief who hid in a church
after the service, filed mis- pockets with the sill
yer goblets, and wrapped about his waist the
vestments of the clergy But while he was at
work the sexton locked all the DOORS so that
when he came to go he found there was no
way of exit.
Finally he ascended the bell tower. A
long rope dangled down from there, and the
thoughtless fellow, leaping it, proceeded to
slide to the ground. But Immediately the bell
setting up tremendous ciangor, brought hun
dreds hurrying to the church. whereupon the
thief looked up at 1t in disgust-looked at the
bell sir, much I look at you," said Mr..
Mackay to the chairman, "and exclaimed:
" If it wasn't for your long tongue and empty
head, 1 should never have got into this awk-
ward position"

JOHN BULL Is LAUGHING
BUT NOT TOO MERRILY OVER THE NEW
LIQUOR LAW.

All England is wondering whether the new
temperance act recently passed by Parliament
is going to prove practical. Part of England,
the part that takes a drink now and then. is
laughing at it, and the comic papers are rev.
cling in it.
According to the act, "publicans" are not al
lowed to sell drink to any one 'in the slightest
degree under the influence Of liquor" Moreover,
the dealer is not to allow ANY such drunken
person to remain the premises. Boobies. .
as the English call their cops must arrest
any one who is found the street in the slight
est degree under the influence" whether dis
orderly not. There is another humorous
clause which provides for the arrest and i'm
prisonment of any one who loans a friend money
on which he gets 'the slightest under the influ-
ence.'
One English writer suggests that the trainers
of the act must have put it together after din
He hates to think that .'our great and good
legislators were not sober at the time but
says there serious grounds for believing
something of the kind
The act as framed opposes many Englishmen's s
ideas of fairness. 1t is a we'll known fact that
beer will put sort of under the
influence" where dozen whiskeys have not
the slightest effect some hardened drinkers.
A man drifts into Joy establishment with
friend for a few cups of cheer After the first
one he leans the bar and begins to talk loud.
He is undoubtedly under the influence" and,
according to the act fit to be served no more
The bartenders refusal to draw another will
naturally Indignation, and there the sus-
picion of influence" becomes a certainty.
Then the next clause of the act, providing for
removal" comes into the mind of the bar
tender. The under the influence Of one
drink gets the option of moving on being
moved. The chances are that by this time he
Is just indignant enough to insist being
moved and to raise no end of a about 1t.
The new law gives the policeman awful
chance row that the disorderly qualification
has been removed 1t used to be that every
other arrest had fighting prelude. Unless a
man was able and willing to give four policemen
the time of their lives up and down the block
and subsided only on the arrival Of the fifth, he
was left to his own devices. Now it will be
different, and in they will go as long as there
empty cells.
Discussion Of the act has brought up the
question, When Is a man drunk? There is
definition which says that a man is not drunk
as long as he can lie on the ground without
holding on. In the West they have it that a
man is not really drunk long as he remem-
bers his name and can swallow more liquor
In England they will have to have brand new
definition.
For lending money to friend who gets drunk
on II one runs a risk of months hard labor
Dear mel" says the Englishman your
friend Jones comes to you and says he's hard
up. You lend him half a crown, and he goes and
gets drunk on it. And the next morning the
police van will stop at your door and you will

WHY HE WAS LIKE NEBUCH4DNEZZAR

II. c. Frick, of Pittsburg, denies that he is to
be made president Of the Steel Trust, but his
fondness for watercress is fact well known
that it would be quite impossible for him to
deny it.
From his boyhood Mr.. Frick mas been devoted
to this crisp, fresh growth, and there is a story
about him and it that is often repeated among
iron masters
Once In his youth Mr.. Frick dining in
his boarding house. and, the watercress being
excellent he was eating it with gusto
Some one, remarking the animal like look
that the eating of green food gives to human
beings, said
"Frick, you remind me of Nebuchadnezzar"
Mr. Frick retorted, without looking up:
1T must be because 1 am eating among the
brutes then"
