THE SOBER FOUNDERS SECRET,

Mons to the Bad.

Mons to the Bad.
A tall man stood at the bar with
party Of friends long after midnight
He was the only sober one in the
bunch. His steadiness angered the
others. A final round of drinks was
ordered. The tall man asked for gin
mo gin," said the least drunk OF the
others to the bartender. Been trying
to get him full all night. Maybe ginH
be only water. Last try. Give I'm

make it whisky, then" said the tall
man.
The sober mans hand carelessly
dropped down to his coat pocket, AND
as carelessly was raised to his lips
Nobody noticed it but the bartender
After the drinks the tall man put his
companions into cabs and then re-cn
tered the cafe.
What was that you ate just before
you took that drink" asked the bar
tender.
"Raisins, my boy, raisins," said the
customer They've been my saliva
ton. | have been a rounder all my
life, have drunk many men under the
table and have never been seen tt
stagger. The secret of it is that early
in the game | learned that raisins
taken into the stomach before drink
will absorb the alcohol and prevent
it from exciting the brain. In all my
drinking bouts keep good supply OF
raisins in my pocket, and they have
carried me through grandly.

The Greeks and AsiatiCS used stones,

Late this afternoon Receiver Henry

The Investigation so far made by the
receivers shows the existence of a rela-

account between Hawley. Ray. and Sui
ly. The exact relationship is stiil a
question Of law but If we find the facts
justify our proceeding. the receivers in

these two men. A matter to be most
carefully weighed is as to how far part

these gentlemen to be that on the day
of Mr.. Sully's suspension the latter
agreed to take over their interests in
