come for Joseph Vaughan, VINO con-
fesses to having served los terms in
the mousse OF correction in Philadel-

Vaughan, who was accompanied by DR..
d. NJ. Barr, commander of post II,
Grand Army of the Republic land
since 1874 I've spent fifteen years in
the house of correction.
Il was in the first squad of prisoners
that was sent to the house of correc-
ton. Every one up there knows me.
Whenever I'd go back they'd say, Here
comes dad
"The last time l was sent up news
paper printed an article about me. l
had just finished a six months term
and received $50 in pension money. 1t
lasted me less than week, and then
the police got me. Same old thing
DIR. Barr and some of the Grand
Army boys read the article and took
pity on me. They asked me if l want
ed to be released from that slavery. I
told them yes, so Dr. Barr went to the
director of public safety and begged off
for me.
Then he lodged ME and cured me of
the drink habit That's friend worth
having.
"Now I'm my own boss. Whisky
doesn't run me any longer I've money
in my pocket and feel like a man
again. They've made me member of
the Grand Army of the Republic, and
I'm beginning life again"

Refreshing Beverages.

want something more tasty the follow
ing are recommended by a writer in
What to Eat:

wooden spoon. Add one pound of
sugar and a quart of water. Bring
slowly to the boiling point and allow
to boil for ten minutes. Strain through
jelly bag, allow to cool, chill on ice
and serve Add more sugar if not
sweet enough.
Fruit Beverage-Peel the yellow
rind of twelve lemons very thin,
squeeze the juice over the peel and al
low to stand for twelve hours. Mash
one quart of ripe raspberries with
half pound Of sugar; pare a ripe pine
apple, slice and chop very fine and mix
with another half pound of sugar. Let
stand for several hours. Then strain

GERMAN ARMY REFORM.
Success of the "Soft DRINK" Cnnteen
Mt Nuremberg BARRACKS.

Temperance work in tile German ar
my is something of a novelty, but an
experiment made by Captain Schultz
of the Fourteenth Bava{fan infantry
regiment at Nuremberg MAS been so
brilliantly successful tlAat arrange
ments have been made fbr its extern
sion to other regiments.
Captain Schultz, bent upoh combating
the consumption of alcohol n his corps,
obtained the necessary perm issiOn from
his colonel and installed n8ar the can
teen a small but completely equipped
apparatus for the manufactpr of soda
water, lemonade and other temperance
beverages, which We're soldl ut half
penny and a penny per bottlA.
During the first year the soldiers
consumed over 10000 bottles Of these
harmless drinks, and for the first
month of the second year the sales
showed an increase of S,4O0 bottles ON
the correspL nding period of the preced
ing twelve months, thanks to fl 4v1iuc-
ton Of nearly 80 per cent in the price.
Not only have the financial results
been admirable, but the soldiers in
Captain SchutZs regiment are notice
ably fresher and more attentive at the
instruction classes than they were for
merly when they drank. beer ut mid
day. 1t is instructive to note that the
consumption of beer during the first
year of the temperance bar fell off by
1000 gallons.

ALCOHOL AND ATHLETICS.
An Object Lesson Furnished by the
Marathon Race.

Marathon Race.
The Marathon race occurring under
the auspices of the Boston Athletic as
ISOLATION furnishes each year an object
lesson for the public and pertinent
text for the temperance cause. This
twenty-five mile run, suggested by that
feature of the classic Olympian games,
is patriots day" in Massachusetts
and is participated in by contest
ants from different parts of the United
Sta tss and Canada. No user of alcohol
can ever hope to win. The official organ
OF the b. A. A. has this to say concern
lag the latest race
There was again an interesting eX-
ample of the serious effects of alcohol
when used as Il stimulant in such an
event as this. a boy of eighteen years
began taking raw brandy at South
birmingham. He had four drinks of
the brandy, and perhaps more. on the
way to Boston. He had never taken
liquor before. AS a result, he was pale,
stupid, with a very slow, poor pulse,
reheXes diminished and a low tenn
perature for some hours after the fin
ish. He represented Il picture of eX-
IRENE exhaustion. The physicians re-
affirm their unanimous belief that al
cohOl taken as a stimulant in such
events as the Marathon run acts liter
ally as poison"

How to Treat Severe Wounds.
Every little while we read in the pa
per that some one has run a rusty nail
in his hand or foot or other portion of
his body and lockiaw resulted there
from and that the patient died. If
every person was aware of a perfect
remedy for such wounds and would
apply it, then such reports would cease,
says the Granite (Ore) Gem. The
remedy is simple, always at hand, can
be applied by any One-what is better,
is infallible. 1t is simply to smoke the
wound, or any wound that is bruised
or inhamed, with wooden cloth.
Twenty minutes in the smoke will take
the pain out Of the worst case of in
flammation arising from such wound.
People may sneer at this remedy as
much as they please, but when they
are afflicted with such wounds let
them try it,

GAMBLING WITH FATE.
The independent Farmer Contented
and Happy the True Sovereign.

The man is to be envied who has
a good farm we'll stocked and paid
for. There is no life as independent
and free from care unless one puts
a lot of useless worry into it. The
poor farmer deeply in debt certainly
has an uphill pull, but even SO he is
infinitely better off than his brother
in the city in like circumstances, for
with little effort the soil will give
him a living, and the poor man in
the city is gambling with fate to a
larger extent. A well equipped and
well managed farm which IS capa-
BILE of turning out every year good
crops and good stock, is kingdom
in itself. No capitalist in the city
lives better Or more comfortabl bly,
nowadays than the we'll to do
farmer who has the telephone and
the daily mail. He generally has
what the capitalist cannot buy,
peace and cOntentment.

CITY NOT BANKRUPT.
Statement Published in the Teller to
this effect Is Misleading.

City Clerk Michaelis desires the
Herald to correct the statement
published in the Teller to the effect
that the city's treasury is in an
insolvent condition and unable to
meet municipal obligations.
On the contrary, the city's fin
ances are in as good shape as ever
at this period of the year, practical
ly near the close of the season
during which heavy Withdrawals are
made for street and sidewalk work,
etc.
On October LIST the sum of $4,000
will be forthcoming from water
rents for the half-year due, and
this will more than meet outstand-
ing obligations. In addition to this,
a considerable sum is due the city
for sidewalks constructed for private
parties, which have been paid for
by the city and not yet reimbursed
by property owners.
Every year the city finds it neces-
sary to make a small loan about
this time to run matters until the
water rentals come in. It is a
better plan than to make a heavier
tax the year previous. This has
been done, and there is plenty of
money in the city Golfers.

Directors Meet.

Five of the seven directors of the
Lancaster Park and Pleasure Drive
association met Thursday afternoon
at the park, and discussed methods
Of improving the condition of the
grounds at the cleaning-up bee to
be held on the goth. The directors
present went over the ground and
in a general way located the i'm
provements which can best be
handled by the citizens who present
themselves for work on that day
The plans detailed by the landscape
gardener relative to the telling and
trimming of trees, clearing away of
stumps and debris, and filling of
bitches will be followed in almost
every instance.
The question of the location of a
right of way to the grounds came
up for discussion, but nothing
definite was agreed upon. The
expert employed by the association
laid out the drives which to him
seemed most practicable, but there
seems to be a division of opinion
among the directors as to the wisdom
of his choice.
Much dissatisfaction was ex-
pressed by those present with the
treatment which the park trees are
receiving at the hands of small boys
and others who go there. In several
cases healthy young trees have
been bent over and nearly uprooted
by being used as pivot for the
gyrations of some youthful whirl-
igig. 1t is to be hoped that with
the cleaning the place will receive
on next Thursday, such vandalism
will stop.
The directors hope to complete a
renee. across the east gap Of the
hollow to shut out the stock which
now runs there. and to install a
system of conduit pipes to carry
off the wash of the heavy spring and
all rains, before the frost prevents.
