REWARDED AT LAST.
The Man who "Buttedv Into lOthsp
Peoples Affairs Got What He
Was Looking For.

Bivens Is one of those men who arc
always trying to make the world bet
ter. Not a reformer, exactly, because
he has never gone into politics, but
ready at any call to come to the front
to alleviate the woes of somebody.
Oficiotsness, some call it, but it is
scarcely that, either. In any event,
everybody who knows Bivens has been
saying for years that some day he was
going to butt into something that was
no special business of his, and he would
get what he deserved. Everybody is
oftener wrong than right, but this
time, though, it was long coming.
Everybody was right. Bivens got it,
relates the New York Herald.
He was on street car with about
four dozen other passengers when it
vixen Bivens came aboard, but in the
varying changes that take place in a
crowded car Bivens found his chance
and dropped into a seat by the side
of good looking woman. In front of
| her, holding to a strap, stood a man
who to Bivens' trained eye seemed to
be trying to attract the lady's atten-
ton. He had probably ridden dozen
| blocks before he noticed this little by
play, and the soul of him revolted
against the Vaccinations of the mash
er. Bivens was no coward. Most peo-
pie of his stripe are not, more's the
pity, and after watching until he was
sure the lady did not wish the mans
attention. he sailed in.
II beg your pardon, madame" said
Bivens, good and strong, SIS that man
annoying you?"
Eyes, he is" she responded, though
not in the grateful tones of women
usual under such circumstances. But
Bivens wasn't thinking about tones
just at that moment; he was thinking
about Washers, and he braced the Of

You are annoying the lady" said
Bivens, menacingly.

Guess not" said the man. "I've got
a right to; she's my wife; she's hutfy
and won't talk to me. See?"
Bivens looked at the lady; she
couldn't help smiling; her husband
laughed; SO did everybody else in the
car, except Bivens; he got off and
walked home to soothe his perturbed
spirit.

est cancer death rate 10 Germany, and
Salisbury in Austria. Both are great beer
drinking districts. In France there is the
most marked contrast between the high
cancer mortality in the beer-drnking de-
partments and the low cancer death rate
elsewhere. Dr. Wolff also finds that the
increased consumption of beer in England
of late years has been accompanied by q
rising cancer mortality.
g. DR.. VOLTS researches indicate that
cancer is contagious, and that race and
, heredity have much less to do with the
disease than environment and habits.
Finally, he concludes that the intem-
perate use of alcohol and especially of
beer, is probably the chief cause OF cam
GER. He does not pretend to say what 1t
is in the beer that conveys cancer infection.
That is a point for further investigation
OF course 1t is also possible to contend
from DIR. Wolffs facts that cancer is
the product of soil well shaded by forests
and of a humid climate rather than of beer
drinking.
Out of the three observed facts which
occur together-abundant woods and water,
copious beer drinking and prevalence Of
cancer-it Is evidently possible that the
third may be the effect of both or either Of
the first two. Nevertheless, DR.. Wolfs
researches tend to reaSSure those who have

evidence that it is the product of environ

Health's Decalopue.

From the French Medical Review.
First-Rise early, retire early and fill
your day with work.
Second-Water and bread maintain life:
pure air and sunshine are indispensable to
health.
Third-Frugality and sobriety form the
best elixir of longevity
Fourth-Cleanliness prevents rust: the
best cared for machines last the longest.
Fffth-Enough sleep repairs waste and
strengthens; too much sleep softens and
enfeebles.
Sixth-to be sensibly dressed Is to give
freedom to ones movements and enough
warmth to be protected from sudden
changes of temperature
Seventh-A clean and cheerful house
makes a happy home.
Eighth-The mind is refreshed and in
vigorated by distractions and amusement,
but abuse of them leads to dissipation and
dissipation to vice.
Ninth-Cheerfulness makes love of life,
and love of life Is half of health. On the
contrary, sadness and encouragement
hasten old age.
Tenth-Do you gain your living by your
intellect? Then do not allow your arms
and legs to grow stiff. Do you earn your
bread by your pickax? Do not forget to
cultivate your mind and to enlarge your
thought.

PAYING THE BARTENDER.
The Varied Characteristics Of Different
Customers.

Customers.
From the New Orleans Times Democrat
MEN have different ways of rendering
payment for what they get in saloons,' said
an old barkeeper, land 1t is sometimes very
amusing to see just how the men act who
come into my place to get drink. No two
men will act just alike when 1t comes to
the matter Of paying for what they get in q
saloon, or in any other place for that mat
ter. The differences are very striking
sometimes. Here is one man who will enter
the saloon with his money in his hand. He
is ready to pay before he gets what he
wants. Sometimes he will have the exact
change in his hand. Again he will have all
the money he has with him N his hand.
Frequently 1t Is enough to buy the whole
saloon. Sometimes fellow will rush in
and throw his money down on the counter.
The amount thus thrown down is not al
ways just the price of the drink. It Is as
a rule much more than the amount neces-
sary to satisfy the bartender. I know some
men who come into the saloon regularly
four or five times a day and who know til.
price of every drink which we make a.
yet who VIII persist In throwing all kinns
of money out on the counter when they call
around to get the same old thing they take
day in and day out. How much do owe
you? they will ask as they glance at the
money which they have scattered over the
counter. as If they did not know. Mind
you, they do not do this for the purpose Of
making trouble for the barkeeper. They do
1t simply because they are in the habit of
doing 1t and for no other reason in the
world. But was thinking more particular
~ about the differences which we observe
in the way different men handle their
money when they offer to pay for what they
get in the saloon. Some men pay before
they drink and some pay afterward. and
whisper 1t not in Gath--sorae men do not
pay at all. The human family is a curious
lot when you come't to think it over, and 1
guess we see about" as much Of the whims
as any other class of men,
