Brewery Horses Fond of Beer.


 Fully oneshalf of the horses used by the brewers of Washington" said a fat and ruddy driver of one of the big wag- ons. ''are beer swiliers. and there are horses belonging to our company which will not leave the delivery yards until they have had their bucket of beer in the morning and at lunch time. They have acquired taste for the beverage and they refuse to do their work until they have been supplied. Now, I say the horses acquired a taste for beer. but guess am wrong about that. for 1t is my candid opinion that horses naturally love beer. They seem to have the same taste for it that hogs have for mash and beer from the stillhouses. It is well known fact that in running down and locating illicit stills in the mountain districts the reve- nue officers are frequently aided in their work by watching the hogs, the razor hacgs. sniffiing the mash for a distance of two miles.
 'Our horses fatten on beer. and it is a noticeable fact that the ones drinking the most beer Keep in the best physical con- dition and can do the most hard driving. The horses draw the line on stale beer, and one of them will have to be powerful dry in the throat before he will drink it. But give him Q bucket of fresh beer and 1t will soon disappear, and he will neigh for more. Drivers helpers and horses are allowed liberal supply of the fluid by the company, and would do without my mugs before would see my horses go thirsty"

Mental Qualities Inherited.

AOHuOn NIIODe.
 Prof. Karl Pearson, P. R. s., in his Huxley memorial lecture at the Anthro- biological Institute in London, after giv- ing evidence to show. and declaring his belief that mental as well as physical qualities are inherited from parents, call ed attention to the present lack of Intel- Lgence in British professional and work Ing men. He does not think the remedy is to be sought in foreign methods of in- struction or in technical education. In- telligence must be bred. and we are ceas- ing, he thinks, to breed it as we did fifty or one hundred years ago. The only pos- s1ble remedy is to alter the relative fer tility of the good and bad stocks in the community. We are. 1t seems, at the be- ginning of an epoch which will be marked by dearth of ability. For the last forty years the intellectual classes. enervated by wealth or love of pleasure, or follow Ing an erroneous standard of life. have ceased to give us the men we want to carry on the ever-growlng work of our empire; to battle in the forefront of the ever-intensified struggle of nations D With so many professors featuring us on our shortcomings. We shall soon begin to feel ourselves in a bad way.

Cocaine Habit in Washington.

Wasnlngton Times.
 In his annual report to the District cor,- missioners MaJor Sylvester declares the drug habit within his jurisdiction to be vastly on the increase. While there has been no general increase fin the opium habit" he says that of cocaine has taken a firm hold on the lower classes. It is bound to become a destructive agency unless something is done to prevent its sale by druggists Two years ago the drug was harly known" he continues, but the habit has grown. and the wreck of lives which accompanies the use of this deadly drug and its sister drugs morphine. chloral and other pharmaceutical preparations. and even patent medicines, is becoming apparent. The police are powerless to raid the opium joints save on the charge of disorderly conduct, and the fine for this misdemeanor Is inadequate tc check the scourge." He urges the necessity for the prohibition of the sale of these drugs save upon the prescription of a physician.

of His Own, and There Are Others. Croesus. the John D. Rockefeller of the Kingdom of Lydia, was very welI-to-do | in worldly goods and chattels. 'As rich as Croesus," is a saying about 2,S00 years old He had his troubles, however, and some of them were full grown. He was taken captive once by Cyrus and only saved himself from being burned alive by quoting a saying of Solon, the Sage He | finally had to flee his kingdom for parts unknown.
 Many of the rich mans troubles today come from high living and could be avoid ed. They are brought on by eating all
 kinds of rich. heavy foods at irregular | times, lack of proper exercise. undue mental strain, unnatural stimulants, etc and are commonly known as indigestion, dyspepsia and weak stomach They are serious troubles all right. but not only can they be avoided but can also be cur ed, and that without loss of time or proper food and nourishment.
 Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets are the csr- tain relief of dyspeptics. rich and poor
 alike. There is no such thing as stop hing the onward progress now. A great nation has placed its stamp of approval upon their noble work. The thousands | and thousands of cures they have effected and the happiness resulting therefrom have made their name houshold word l throughout the land.
 The story of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets can be told in a word. They actually do
 the work that the weak and wasted stom- ach is unable to do and allow 1t to re- Icuperate and regain its strength. They con- tain all the essential properties that the
 gastric juice and other digestive fluids do,
 and they digest the. food just as a sound and well stomach would. They relieve
 the stomach just as one rested and re.

The Montgomery advertiser., 1904-01-03

Editor The Advertiser:
 This eating with negroes is on the in- crease and is getting to be a serious thing as the fellow said when he burned his mouth with hot coffee. I suppose it will not be arniss to remark in this com nection that the oratorical sentiment of Anglo-Saxon achievements will have to palm. The negro Is certainly wonderfully resourcefui of merit or the white man is wonderfully degenerate when social equal ity is established. Somebody by superior merit or force has gained something, somebody by . lack of merit or force has lost something when the two stand on a level. May be so, our historian and ora tors have been prejudiced against the negro. denying him the possibility of great achievements, but in spite of all and every opposition he seems to be holding his own just now in pushing himself to a level with approximation"
 No Grander Duty.
 have never been uneasy about social equality of the races from below. The pride and self-respect of the poor white man forbid the degradation or thought of it. It seems that wealth and prominence are fatal to racial pride. While the in- stances of social equality, so far, have occurred outside of the territory whose traditions forbid 1t, 1t is fair to presume that we are not immune from the ten- dency of aristocratic example. Perhaps the Southern press can do no greater or grander duty than keeping up a perpetual fight against the race degeneracy that ap- proves equality. We can afford, just now, to forget the personal heroism of Hobson in the grander heroism of Simmons and the laudation of Simmons should be so spontaneous, so cordial, so unanimous in the State, that the administration can find no man so degraded as to take Fed eral office in Alabama at the price at which Simmons refused it.
 If any poor spirited wretch accepted of- flee on such degrading terms he would know in what esteem he is held and would perhaps have sense enough to take the social standing his depravity merits .

YOU HAVE MET HIM.

You have met the man-every-
body knows him-although not
indispensable, he is the adjunct of
every community, large or small.
In personal appearance he does
not differ from the generality of
men. He is sometimes rich,
sometimes poor-always happy,
in the absolute self-assurance that
he knows It all. His knowledge
seldom has for its foundation
either experience or education.
You will sec him pass from group
to group, parsing only long
enough to catch the drift of con-
versation, then, no matter what
its bearing, he takes the floor.
You cannot stop him no more
than you can a Kansas cyclone.
He brooks no interruption. No
matter what the subject. he will
tell you all about it. Louder and
louder he pitches his voice. No
mount VI nervousness on the part
of his auditors affects him in the
least. They are at his mercy;
his finale; That's the way it is,
and don't you forget it," at last
comes, and with proud bearing he
struts along TO the next group.
Here the scene is re-enacted.
We're he to meet Edison, he would
at once proceed to give him point
ers or the subject of inventions;
were he to meet Rockefeller. he
would educate" him in finance;
were he to meet Henry Waiter
son, he would instruct him in the
art OF editing a newspaper. In
fact, nothing IS beyond him--or
rather his gall. The Almighty,
for some inconceivable reason. has
given him a tongue and endowed
him with one mental faculty. to

In speaking of our present state
capitol building at Pierre, the
Argus Leader of recent date has
the following to say:
The present state house Is not cred
liable TO q rich and progressive young
state. 1t Is inadequate In size, III
ventilated, unhealthful, and In con-
tinual danger Of experiencing u disas-
trous fire. The building Is 5 small
that not only are the legislative halls
inadequate for the accommodation OF
the senate and house, not only are the
various legislative committees with
cut committee rooms suitable In num-
Der or size, but the departments of
the state government are SO cramDed
as seriously TO Interfere with the con-
duct OF business, and the quarters OF
the supreme court are d~isgraceful.
Moreover, the costly supreme court H.
brary and the thousands OF important
public documents, growing rapidly
more immense with the years, are
without any protection from lre
Should a blaze start In the antique
strlctur,, the state wo,l.d sustain IN
irreparable loss. And besides all this
the structure Is cheap, fimsy and dis
creditable.
OF course, the above descrip-
ton. which is absolutely true, will
come as a surprise to those of our
readers who have swallowed the
absurd claims as TO the capitol
building now in use at Pierre.
Not only as a matter of pride, but
in order to insure the safety ofthe
state records.it isadvisable to have
them in place in a building, that is
at least comparatively safe. The
entei prising August Leader strong
ly recommends the building of a
state house commensurate with
the wealth and growing import
ance of our state. reminding us
that we have the poorest excuse
tor a state building in the union.
Hundreds of thousands have been
expended in state institutions, and
would it not be logical to lop off
these stupendous appropriations
for a few years, and rear the next
jasper walls in the form of a new
state house at Pierre? And may
it be second to none IN the North
west.
