This Lunch Was a Success.

A lady in Budapest recently gave a
charitable lunch party to the poor Of
her district. She placed no limit on
the number of invitations. and the re-
suit was that 5000 people arrived, all
eager for the treat. Eventually the
police had to draw their sabers to keep
order among the jewellers. There were
no two opinions about the success OF
the function. The guests to man
declared they had never assisted in so
intense and exciting a lunch before in
their lives. They were quite cut up
when the time came to go.

Differing Views on Providence.

A recent traveller in Macedonia
writes: THE views on Providence
entertained by Turks and Jews re-
spectively and the extent to which be-
lief influences the conduct Of each
are well illustrated by the following
anecdotes: A Turk and Jew were
one day in boat. Suddenly the
weather changed and a fierce squall
arose. The Jew proposed that they
should turn back at once. The Turk
was for going on. Fear not, my
friend; Allah is great, he sale, Allah
is great, retorted the Jew, but our
boat is small.

Here's a New Drink" Cure.


A novel remedy for the drink hab-
it"-or rather, for enabling those
who have 'sworn off, to remain
con the water cart"-consists Of ice
water drunk through raw potato.
Take a bowl of ice water and a pota-
to. Peel the potato and cut down one
end Of it until it can be easily insert
ed in the mouth. Dip the potato in
the ice water and suck it every time
a craving for strong drink comes on.
1t is claimed that this treatment will
effect an absolute cure. The why and
the wherefore are not stated, but the
process is such a simple one that
there can be no harm in trying it if
any one is afflicted with a thirst
which they really and truly desire to
lose

Of the entire assess edvaluation oi the territory. otcourse it ncglects to mention that the state ment was proven Co be untrue by Dele gate Amcs, of Oklahoma, who showed that the entire debt of the territory Is less than the amount ot cash iu the ter ritorial treasury.
 In the same editorial, the Juneau pa per says that the people oi Indian ter ritory do not want Co be united 10 Okla homa. The facts are otherwise. li was shown Co the satisfaction ot the Trans-Nississippi congress that only the inhabitants of South McAlisier' one oi whom Is Mr. Weincr. ot an the cities oi Indian territory, are opposed Co union with Oklahoma, and the oppo- sltion there is based on the fact that South McAlister would probably be made che capital oi Indian territory should it be given the territorial gov ernment the business men oi that city are asking for. And right there is the point which the Eecorj-Miner seeks Co make against territorial government destroyed. To Is cou,ended that Indian territory has taken alarm at the al- leged great debt piled up by Oklahoma under territorial government, yet those very people who are making that aSSer- tion. are asking c5ugrc,, to give them territorial government. At the in' s.ance of che people Of South MeAlis- ter. a bin has been introduced into con. gress. creating the territory of Jeder' son out of Indian territory, with thC capitol situated at their city.
