Charles F. Murphy, the leader of Tam many Hall, was often importuned by a friend of bygone days who had given up everything through his love of drink He had consistently appealed to MT. Murphy for financial aid. when it occurred to the latter that he had helped his oldtime friend about all that he should. The next time assistance was asked for Mir. Murphy rebuked him for his habits, re- marking that If he had acted right he might have been a great man today in- stead of a slave to liquor.
 Well, Charlie" came the reply. T cant help it. You know some men are born great, some achieve greatness. while others have great thirsts upon them"

Girls and Honey Culture.

Two sisters, orphans-one l9, the other 24-went from New York city to the counT try four years ago and with the aid of a small legacy started bee farm. They studied the subject thoroughly and at the end of their second year had a surplusl or Si50 in the bank. The third year fin- creased their balance 10 $1.100, and the profits of the fourth year were little over H,2Oo. They have reduced their vocation to such a scientific basis that they look forward confidently to return of $500 for their fifth year. The de- mand for the honey they produce Is far in excess of the supply, for dealers have learned that the girls are conscientious and produce an article that is the gen uine nectar of the flowers of the held' and not the molasses fed stuff that the proprietors of so many apiaries palm on on their customers Sagacious as the bee Is, she will sip as readily from shall low pans of sugar and water or molasses and water as she will from the heart or the clover blossom, and where vegetation Is sparse the artificial food will support immense colonies of bees that otherwise would desert a territory bare of natural food. The girls have cultivated hundreds of bowers of honeysuckle and have plant ed fields of clover to keep their bees and at the same time get the genuine artlcle.

SOUTHERN LEAGUE.
League Standing.

New Orleans, La, May 16.-(Special) ) --The elements conspired to prevent Montgomery from taking revenge on the Pelicans this afternoon and in the Hast half of the first inning, when the score stood 0 to o, a heavy rain de- scended and the umpire was compelled to call off the contest. A good crowd was in attendance, despite the threat ening weather, and the fans were dis appointed in being prevented from sec ing the conclusion of a game which promised to be hotly fought.
 Despite the defeat of yesterday, the Pretzels still have their nerve left, and say thst they will give a good account of themselves before the Western cam paign is over. There is a chance that the weakness in the box will soon be remedied, and then the Montgomery boys will take the dust from few in this League. Lucas, who was released by Manager Stickney after his horrible showing in Birmingham. has applied for another chance to show what he can do, but he has been informed that there is nothing doing.
