OUR MERRY-GO-ROUND.
Riley'S PredICdment.

Major Ridgewayin his early Rec
objections of James whitcomb Riley"
relates, that along with Riley a num-
ber of kindred spirits once organized
a dramatic and musical entertain
ment for the benefit of the poor OF
Greenfield. After the program had
commenced it was the misfortune of
two of the ladies who were to partic
ipate, to be taken i'll quite suddenly
with some indisposition.
"when this was discovered at the
last minute, Riley was filed with
dismay, as all of the actors save
himself and the writers, were
dressing for farce that was to fol-
low the two numbers so suddenly in
terrupted. Rushing across the stage,
he almost roared out, "Ridgeway,
Ridgeway, what do you know: Think

and thrust his arms under those OF

duster over both, and fastened the
top button at his throat. Pulling of
his boots, and planting his own hand:

when the curtain rose. A single wore
from Riley gave Ridgeway his cue
and while the latter made the gest
ures, Riley delivered the most re
markable address that was ever hearC
from that platform. He wound NJ
with some extravagant reflections ol
the life and labors of George Wash

THE MODEL GUEST.
He Knows Just when. what and
How to Do or Not TO Do.


How TO DO Not to Do.
A really fine specimen OF the guest
who does his best has n spirit which
cannot be broken by weather or weari
ness. He can manage to talk to any
me. even IL he should discover with a
shock that he Is sitting next TO his
worst enemy. He knows how TO come
into any discussion and how to keep
out of it, He does not seek his own
amusement. yet he never fails TO show
that he is amused. He is tolerant of
every opinion. and though he may have
many convictions of his own and may
state them so as to do them justice he
never tries TO proselytiZe-
His visit is not mission, and he
never for moment fancies himself on
the hustings. i'm debating society. a
pulpit or court OF justice. Above all.
Le has a good opinion OF himself. Good
Wine needs no bush. He has no desire
20 boast. but he is certain that he Will
not be sighted II his hostess assigns
to him dull job he is sure it is because
she thought he could do il well, and If
lie feels ii to be really below his powers
he takes her mistake into account not
while he is under her roof. but when
he next receives her kind invitation.
He is not plagued by that craving OF
the oversensitive to be like their COM
pany nor does he belong to that race of
born dissenters who would always rath-
er be different.
But, alas, conscience and talent do
not always 20 together. There are some
high principled guests who are terrible
bores. In their solicitude TO be agree
able they never stop talking. hut pursue
their garrulous ideal like dog follow
ing a carriage. To every interruption
they give immediate but momentary
attention and run breathless onion

Laws Against Liquor Selling.

p
About the time that the law regulat-
ing the sale and the manufacture Of whis.
key and other ardent spirits. known as
the Mann liquor law, was enacted In Yir-
GINA. the North Carolina Legislature
made a law somewhat similar. which has
gone into history under the name Of the
Watts act.
The laws were not exactly the same
spects. but both tended to the same end,
to curtnl the manufacture and salo Of
ardent spirits and to restrict the privl-
leges Of the manufacturer and the seller
as temperance measures, and marked u
decided advance dn the progress OF tenn
