would remember as long as thev lived
IllS only special preparation was to fill
hls pockets with pebbles. The four
mules started at a good pace, at which
the passengers expressed delight at the
first downs grade The driver pelted the
mules turlously with the pebbles their
rough hides would have been insensible

terrific, for the shower of pebbles con

Englishmen huddled on the front seat
and shouted.

When Cody IS not acting or riding or
fighting Indians or ranching or asleep
he Is likely 10 be telling stories. and he
has SO many that it IS hard for him to
tell any story twice, unless by special
request. One that has been called for
frequently is Of an Eastern man who
was employed hv Colonel Cody out West
The man ha not been out long enough
To know the Elusive tricks of the clear
atmosphere OF the plains and hills. A
picturesque mountain that seemed only
a mile away interested him so greatly
that he started early one morning to
visit 1t and return bv breakfast time.
He didn't return in three DAYS \ few
DAYS later the Colonel saw him beside
an irrigating ditch, and asked him what
he was going To do, for the man was
taking off his clothes.
I'm goin' TO swim across this river"
was the reply
Swim; Why don't you jump 1t?
It's only three feet wide"

One evening at the Hoffman House he |
told this story to two or three friends .
with whom he was spending the even

With Cody and me were Steele Mackave

friends seem to have imbibed the idea that a liquor seller is a sort of freak; that he hands out liquor for the fun there is in it, or that he takes sort of fendish delight in doing evil. It is not so. If the truth were known 1t would be found that saloon keepers are not so much different from men en- gagged in other private profit mak- ing business, as one might suppose.
 Eliminate the profit in the liquor business and there will be no liq- uor business. Just feed that thought to your mental machinery and see what 1t grinds out. Just so long as one human being has

 Did 1t ever occur to you that back of the price of 8 glass of whisky lay the solution of the liquor problems It is 8 fact. A glass of whisky retails at ten cents. Sometimes when poured out of a cut glass bottle 1t costs 15 cents. Back of that 15 cents lies the an- swer to the rum traffic question. Eliminate the profit in the 15 cent glass of whisky, which is about II cents, and the whisky problem will disappear as a dewdrop in the morning sunshine. Go into sa- loon and lay down ten cents and ask for glass of whisky. Does the saloon keeper give it to you because of any pleasure he derives from so doing or for the nine cents profit he makes on the transaction2 Some of our good temperance

door to greet her. but suddenly an aw-
full glare was seen in tae eyes of the
hostess. Instead of asking her friend
to take a seat she made leap into
the air, with both hands clapping.
Then she made frantic plunge to the
floor, followed by frenzied jump to
the lounge, and another throwing up
Of both hands into the air.
This was followed by wild chase
around and around the room over
chairs and tables. with both hands
clapping the air. The guest was
dazed with fright. when suddenly
there was a climax. The hostess
brought her hands violently together.
