a Hard cider Drunk.

Il don't know whether any of you fell
lers ever INDUCED in a hard cider drunk
or not" said the Boston drummer, but
had one experience, and don't banker af-
ter another.
'-It was in New Hampshire, where they
say that cider ages slow and gets that
oily, unctious taste to perfection. I took
a day or two off my route to pay visit
to my uncle and aunt, and had hardly
greeted them when Uncle Dick brought in
a pitcher of hard cider to dampen the
cotton in. my throat I hadn't had any
in years before, and it went right to the
spot and tickled me all over.
s'As 1 was drinking my third glass and
telling Aunt Hannah how all my folks
We're, a good looking girl came in. AS I
was drinking my fourth and telling Uncle
Dick what fine farm he had, the preach
er and his wife showed up AS I was
slowly slipping my fifth and wondering
why in the devil people ran after cham
payne when they could get hard cider, a
widow called to ask Uncle Dicks advice
bout a sick COW
7 was introduced to everybody in turn,
and was making as good an impression as
possible, when L suddenly began to feel a
strange elatiOn- / think 1t was about the
same feeling General Nog1 had when Port
Arthur surrendered to him. I remember
that 1 began to grin and laugh and want
ed to lend somebody $50, and then 1 lost
:sFhe next thing I knew" continued the
drummer with sad shake of the head,
two days had passed and I was Just get
ting over one of the biggest jags ever
seen in that part OF New Hampshire.

from my grim Uncle Dick and my weep
ing Aunt Hannah.
Il had kissed the good looking girl. l
had Rugged the widow with a sick COW
and offered to marry her. / had Threatens
ed to lick the preacher if he didn't cut off
his chin Whiskers, and I had taken his
wife under my arm and tried to show her
how to dance a sailors hornpipe. When
Uncle Dick had sought to stop me I had
Wrestled him down on his back, and
when Aunt Hannah came to his rescue
had playfulIly bitten her ear and galloped
her around the room. They had to send
for the constable and two farmers hired
men to get me to bed, and the drunk last
ed two whole days. When the old folks
had finished telling me what had happen
ed I replied:
q But that won't do, James, said Aunt
Tt might do for US, as we are
related to you, and as we gave you the
cider but it won't do for the Others
But 1 beg their pardon.
g Yes. 1 know you do, but the preacher
is coming today with club. the good
looking girl has three brothers who are
waiting for sight of you, and the widow
with the sick COW is going to hold you to

for the bite Take another drink of hard
cider and then get out by the back way,
where Uncle Dick has a horse and buck

Jose, in charge of Budd Doble, for
about six weeks, having been shipped
from Memphis early in December. AS
is remembered, she spent last winter
at the Memphis driving park. When
her work began in the spring she was
apparently in superb health and
spirits, but it is an old story how she
began to show that all was not right
ond collapse in the cup race at Mem
phis in October proved that she had
never really been herself all the sea-
son.
The reason for this can only be
guessed. And a thousand guesses have
been made. But the urgency of the
claims that the climatic change
never before in her life had Lou win
tered outside her native California
had been detrim entail caused Mr.. Bill
ings to defer to them and send her
back there to stay until next May.
She is also being Wintered quite diff
ferently, otherwise. A year ago. after
her weeks of gradual ''unwinding'
after her defeat of Major Delmar in
the cup race, and her two miles in
1881, to sulIxy, and 200 to wagon,
she was thrown entirely out of train
ing and ran loose in paddock. rough

of a couple of months or more. Doble

He is jogging her every day, and she
is not to be completely let up at all.

local quorum held a meeting here last
night at which they decided to revoke
the charter of the Kansas City, Kan,
local quorum and throw that quorum
out of the party. This action, which
was announced, is subject to a referen-
dunn vote of the membership of the So
cialist party in Kansas, if called for
before March q. This action of the
state quorum is the result of a squab-
BILE which has been going on in the So
cialist party since last spring. A short
time ago the local quorum of Kansas
City Kan, brought suit against the
members of the state quorum of this
city for criminal libel. The information
was quashed in the district court Of
Wyandotte county. but the plaintiffs
were given time in which to amend
their information. The quorum here re-
ceived word that the suit for criminal
libel had been renewed, and the result
was their action removing the charter
of the local Kansas City, Kan. Six
Kansas locals and many individuals de-
manded the revoking of the charter.
