COUGH IN HIS PRIME.
How the Famous Temperance Advo.
cate Confused His Opponents.

How the Famous Temperance Advo.
cate Confused His Opponents.
John B. Cough. the famous advocate
of temperance, went to Great Britain
in compliance with numerous demands
from press and public. When he ap-
undertook to hiss him off the stage, 80
determined were they that temperance
should not be preached there. After
enduring their Kisses and cat-calls for
about ten minutes, he startled them all
by saying: II can whip everyone of
you, one at a time"
This statement was cheered, and
then the young men began calling one
Of their chums to 60 up on the stage.
Soon Cough saw a young giant COM
ing toward him. AS soon as he was In
the center Of the stage Cough shout
ed: This is to be an intellectual bat
tie and not a physical one. Go on with
your speech
This suited, the college men, and
they began calling on their big fellow
for a speech. He responded by quot
ing the epistle to Timothy, in which
Paul recommended "a little wine for
thy stomach's sake; and from this he
deduced an argument In favor Of the
use of wine. When he had finished,
Cough faced the audience and said:
"This Is not an argument but farce.
Here Is young English giant, weigh
ing almost two hundred pounds, who
has never been sick In his life, who
eats five pounds of meat every day,
and who can knock down a bullock
with a blow Of his fist, standing here
and talking about the need Of wine for
his stomach's sake. You'll have to
send me another man."
The boys cheered Cough, and then
yelled for another man-this time a
senior and their ablest debater. He
went to the platform and called at
water into wine and advocated the use
of 1t. He delivered a speech which
met with the approval Of his fellow
collegians. and they cheered him re-
peatedly. When he had finished,
Cough said:
THAT Is Just the kind Of argument
that I came here to deliver, and was
delivering when you interrupted ME.
You may drink all the wine you can
hold, provided 1t Is made out Of wa
ter, as that wine was"
Cheer after. cheer greeted Cough,
and he was permitted to go on with
his lecture. He said afterward that
they gave him greater applause than
he had ever received from an audi
ence Of young men.

THE ONLY THING LIFT.-A grand
father we'll known IN the English
House Of Commons was chatting ami
cably with his little granddaughter,
who was snugly ensconced on his
knee, relates Short 5turies.
What makes your hair 80 white,
grandpa?" the little miss queried.
T am very old, my dear; 1 was In
the ark" replied his lordship with a
painful disregard Of the truth.
"Oh. are you Noah?"
mo"
Are you Shem, then?"
mo, 1 am not Shem."
Are you Ham?"
mo"
Then" said the little one who was
fast nearing the limit Of her Biblical
knowledge, "you must be Japhet."
A negative reply was given to this
query, also, for the old gentleman in
wardly wondered what the outcome
would be.
But, grandpa, If you are not Noah
or Shem, or Ham, or Japhet, you must
be a beast"

All Things Are to Be Had If One Will
But Pay the Equivalent.

All Things Are to Be Had If One Will
But Pay the Equivalent.
Life consists almost entirely Of buy
ing, selling. paying. There are no
gifts, nothing that does not call for
an equivalent. If we cannot pay for
gifts in kind we must pay in graft
tude or service or we shall rank ms
moral bankrupts.
II would have a good situation
must pay for 1t not only in labor, but
in promptness, intelligence, faithful
rcss and good manners. If woulo
have good service 1 must pay not only
in money. but in consideration, recog-
milton, appreciation, fairness. I can
hold no one to me If misuse him.
All things are to be had for the buy
ing. Would you have friends? Then
pay the price. The price Of friendship
is to be worthy Of friendship. The
price Of glory is to do something glori-
Gus. The price Of shame is to dc
something shameful.
Friendship. glory, honor, admiration
courage, infamy, contempt, hatred, are
all in the market place for sale at a
price. We are buying and selling these
things constantly as we will. Even
beauty is for sale. Plain women can
gain beauty by cultivating grace, ami
nation. pleasant speech, intelligence
helpfulness. courage or good will
Beauty is not in the feature alone; II
Is in the soul also.
Good will buys good will, friendli-
ness buys friendship. confidence be-
gets confidence, service rewards serv-
ice, and hate pays for hate, suspicion
for suspicion, treachery for treachery
contempt for ingratitude, slovenness
laziness and lying.
We plant a shrub, a rosebush. an or
chard, with the expectation that they
will pay us back. We build roads
mend harness and patch the roof with
the same expectation. We will trust
even these unconscious things to pay
their debts.
Some of our investments are good
and some are bad. The good qualities
we acquire-moderation industry
courtesy, order patience. candor-are
sound investments. Our evil institu-
tions and habits are bad investments
involving us in losses. We become
debtors to them, and they are exactine
creditors forcing payment in full in
money and labor and sometimes In
blood, agony, tears, humiliation OF
shame.-From Balance: The Funda-

A DROP In VALUEs.-Henry Clews,
the banker, was talking about a stock
that had dropped in value.
Great was its fall" he said. 1T was
pathetic. 1t made me think Of an in
cident that happened the other day in
an express Office.
ITO this office burly, kind looking
young man came with a package un-
der his arm.
"I want to express this package he
said.
"The clerk as usual, asked him:
What Is the nature Of the con-
tents Of the package?'
"It is said the simple-minded
youth in a sad tone, a bundle Of let
ters from a young lady. am return
ing them to her.
Their value? said the clerk.
THE young man swallowed.
"I don't know what their value is
now,' he said huskily, but week ago
I thought they were worth about half
a million dollars

A TRUE SToRY.-Ex-Judge Thomas
F. Noonan Of Jersey City, was de-
scribing his experiences, while travel
ing across country to his mining prop
critics in Arizona, and told how the
party, while on one Of the lodges Of a
canyon, deserted three wild ducks
wabbling along shoulder to shoulder.
Wen have those for breakfast"
said Joe Ray, a famous cracksman of
the frontier, and Aqutla Nebeker, pres
ident of the Utah state senate, who is
equally handy with a gun, seized his
repeater to take aim at them.
"Yeu don't intend to kill 'em one by
ene?" Ray objected. Bring 'em all
dawn with one shot"
Nebeker waited till all three necks
we're In one range and let fly.
And would you believe" Judge
Noonan asked his friends, that he cut
off all three heads with one bullet?"
"Well," returned ex-Judge AL Dray-
ton, hesitatingly III you say so!"
WELL" Noonan concluded. Il won't
say 1t. This is true story. He missed
all three."-New York Times.

!: NO CHALLENGE FROM SOUTH.
The Proper Attitude Toward Rsdue'
ton of Representation.

Proposed reduction Of southern rep
resentation, as voiced in the Chicago
platform, is little credited among the
well informed. Congress in neither
branch is likely to enter upon such
programme. But the subject contin-
ues in the forum Of political discus
sion, where It is kept by many OF the
very Republican leaders who. IN pri-
vate, emphasize the utter impossibility
II not unwisdom, Of such action. In
meeting such a discussion. the south
emers differ widely in their views.
A few days ago Representative Bur-
Lesson of Texas, told the Post that he
would practically welcome such cru
sade, II the Republicans wanted to en-
ter upon it. Representative Sims OF
Tennessee, who comes from one OF the
close congressional districts Of the
south, but after untiring work. has
been reelected by a good majority, lit
tie affected by the general Democratic
slump elsewhere in the state, thinks
that is not the correct attitude to as
sumo.
81 grant that the possibilities Of ac-
ton by congress to reduce our repre-
sentation are remote" says Mr. Sims.
81 am one of those who think that not
even the house Of representatives will
undertake any legislation of that char
acter, to say nothing Of the senate,
where the battle would be fought to
the last ditch. But I do not believe
that the Democratic party should chal-
lenge its opponents to the step. 1t Is
enough for US to be ready to defend
ourselves whenever we are attacked.
We have a good defense. And yet 1t
Is not necessary for US to constantly
provoke the Republicans by inviting
them to make a great issue on that
plank in their platform"
Mr.. Sims says that pluralities In
several sections of Tennessee were
largely reduced at the recent election.
Congressional districts that have been
going Democratic by 5000 to 1000 re-
turned Democratic members by less
than 1000 plurality. The Indifference
Of the voters was very marked all
during the canvass. No interest In
Democratic speakers was displayed by
the audiences, which seemed dead to
political appeals. Only by the most
animated personal work was he able
to get the voters to the polls.-Wash-
ington Post.
