The Nations Drink Bill.

From the American Grocer
 The American Grocers annual esti- mate of the nations drink bill shows the formidable total retail cost of alcoholic and other stimulating beverages, for the year ending June 30, 1903. to have been $l, 45l ,633,3 the annual average for the past five years sl.293, ,90S. .35S.
 The record shows an expenditure for stimulants of S1S.l5 for each of the sn. 372 GOO inha ahitants. or $9o75 per family of five. The average annual cost for five years was SIS IT, or $S0s5 for each fam fly
 There has been q steady increase ir the quantity of stimulating beverages used, notably of alcoholic liquors. which has risen in twenty-three years from l0.5O gallons to 19.9S gallons per capita The per capita use of te3. for six years past is much below the annual average for the same period. while the consump- tion of the more active stimulant, coffee has increased from S25 pounds in 1881 to 1O.79 pounds in 1903. and is over 50 per cent, greater than the per capita use from lS6s to 1880

 The total revenue If the United States government in 1903 from spirituous and malt liquors, licenses, etc, was $l795O1.- 32S-a per capita tax of SPA. or $11 20 for every family.
 Vast, indeed, are the interests which are involved in the manufacture, distri- button and consumption of beverages. ramifying into every household, contri- outing a large share to the revenue of the nation, State and local governments. It Is gratifying to note that the milder stimulants are most in favor. but unfor- tunately represent a total business and exert an influence incomparably less than that involved in the manufacture and sale of alcoholic beverages.

There is no other season when good medicine is so much needed as in the Spring.

Modern Science.
 People used to think that baldness was one of those things which are handed down from generation to generation. from father to son-just like a family heirloom.

Drink and Was Turned
Down

A Kansan with wealth Of chin
whiskers and red nose came TO Chica-
60 on pleasure jaunt, and. 20 side
duty, to buy . piano for his new home In
Wichita. Like most men with red noses.
says the Inter Ocean. he was : bibulous
fellow. and before he dared trust himself
to buy the musical instrument he tight
ened his belt considerably by dumping
sundry fancy drinks through the screen
Of his crop OF whiskers.
When the Kansan entered entered 3
Wabash avenue music house, life was AL
one big burst OF sunshine. He walked
up to the head salesman and grasped him
by the hand and spoke to him - II he
had known him since boyhood. He let II
be known at once that he was In the
market for plano; the best one that
money could buy. But before he would
or could begin the purchase he was GER
tain he would have to have another
something with a cherry In It. He in
vitsd the salesman to go out and have
something on him.
Il thank you. but do not drink"
said the salesman.
mot drop?" asked the Kansan.
Not drop" answered the salesman.
well. you would II you lived In Kan
sas. Mebbe you'll think better OF It aft
er bit. Let's see your music box first"
The salesman showed the Kansan the
finest piano in the house.
It'll cost you $780," said the sales
man. &.1

I'm willing to pay for peacherlno. Now
let's 60 get nip. never close deal

me-" 10y
II guess we won't close the deal. then"
said the salesman. MY wife doesn't
stand for me drinking, and won't
drink. I'm on the water wagon and I
never get on"
! The Kansan walked out Of the store.
and In q minute the proprietor came down
to find II the sale had been made. Tho
salesman told him the story. and, in
turn. was called all kinds OF an idiot.
"Why, we make a bunch Of money on
that kind OF piano." said the proprie-
tor. "You get good commission on 1t.
too"
Don't care" said the salesman. Il
won't take drink"
Three days later the same display OF
Kansas whiskers was waited into the
store. The temperate salesman was
called to the front.
i've changed my mind, said the Kan
san. II want that piano, and here's the
cash. When find Chicago man who
won't take drink for all the profit on an
$500 piano take of my hat hereafter.
I've been thinking II over. And say.
here, have cigar"
II don't smoke. said the salesman.
"Wife object?" said the Kansan.
Nope; just don't smoke, that's all"
well, III be-. Say. give me your
address. I'm going to send your wife

The next day the salesman's wife re-
ceived as gift from the red-nosed Kan
san a set OF furniture that could not be
duplicated for half the price Of the piano.

still celebrating.

CIN00 he had obtained his degree
~ n science and an appointment,
Stephen SPortway had determined to
leave his poor lodgings In Soho: but
he 50 delayed.
At nrSt he was not frank, even to
himSe6. But at length he had to con-
fess % the dark of a sleepless night
that q woman held him-a woman
to wh2 he had never spoken except
with ehe commonplace greetings of the
day.
She was French. she called herself
Mile Lnoine; was, perhaps, "a years
OF age. and she lived alone in room
on tie opposite side of the landing
befoTe his door. She appeared to be
very poer, very proud and very soli-
tary.
Wi<heut thinking. Stephen had got
to WAX nor her going out in the morn
ing, 50 that he could greet her when
passing. In the evening, too, when he
heard ne light footsteps coming up
the gtairs. he would carelessly begin
descending, so as to look into the
tired, quiet eyes and hear the soft
voice answer his salutation.
Bat at last he became aware that
his oomings-in and goings-out were
but shadowings of her movements,
and = shame he put restraint upon
hinnse2. But when, at the end Of that
time, Ne found he had not seen her
face fer q week. he threw self-control
to the winds and watched to meet her.
O1ce there had seemed to be the
possibility of archness and coQuetry,
but now It was pale and gaunt, and in
her eyes were fever and a great
trouble. He could not be deceived;
whatever was her mental anguish, he
knew there was meaner, grimmer
despair beneath 1t all-she lacked food.
Once he would fiercely resolve to
go to her tomorrow and bluntly offer
her help and friendliness; next mo-
ment he would enrage against the sus-
picious conventions that were reared
about them.
Next day was Saturday. She did
not appear in the morning, and he
went listlessly to his work. Reaching
home quickly In the afternoon, he sat
in his room, near the door, and listened
for her. Suddenly the quiet steps
sounded on the stairs below, and, seiz-
ing his hat, he strolled. whistling, out
OF the room. She was coming up the
stairs with basket on her arm, and,
at the sight Of the WEAKNESS in her
face and the frailty in her figure, he
felt impelled to speak to her tenderly.
He thought that for moment she
seemed shaken before his gaze, and
she hesitated in her reply to his greet
ing: then she responded and passed on
with her usual distant bearing.
Az she went by he glanced at the
basket A cloth was over something
within It, and, for the moment, he was
glad and then half sorry with the
thought that she was not in such dire
straits as he had imagined.
As she placed her foot on the stair,
ne saw the cloth was pulled aside at
one place and piece Of charcoal jutted
up. He descended, feeling pleased to
think she was going to, cook something
over her stove.
In another ten minutes he came
bounding into the house and up the
stairs. Hallway toward the museum
terrible suspicion had entered his
mind: perhaps she meant to destroy
herself.
He listened, but no noise came from
the room. He tried TO think of an ex-
c1lse Tor Knocking and speaking; then,
