Is This An So?

What to Eat.
There is but one sure cure for the
drinking disease or habit, and that
is the simplest of all. The cure con-
slsts In eating fruits. That will cure
the worst case of inebriacy that ever
inflicted a person. 1t will entirely
destroy the taste for intoxicants and
will make the drunkard return to
the thoughts and tastes of his child
hood, when he loved the luxuries
nature had provided for him and
when his appetite had not become
contaminated by false, cultivated
tastes and attendant false desires
and imaginary pleasures. No person
ever saw man or woman who liked
fruit and who had an appetite for
drink. No person ever saw man
or woman with an appetite for drink
who liked fruit. The two tastes are
at deadly enmity with each other,
and there is no room for both of
them in the same human constitu-
ton. One Will certainly destroy the
other.

THE UNDER MARRIAGE.
wedding Customs and FroItcs That
Prevail In Holland.

In Holland two weeks before a mar
riage takes place cards are sent out de-
claring that the banns have been pub
lished This Is called an under mar
rage" The card also announces when
the final marriage is to take place. The
wedding itself Is a small affair, and
the civil marriage Is the only one rec
ognized by law. A church wedding Is
usually looked upon as a concession to
either fashion or sentimentality and is
called "consecration of the marriage"
The couple enter the church behind the
family members, bridesmaids and 9th
er attendants. They are shown to seats
before the whole assembly. and the
clergyman comes In with two witness
es long after the others have been seat
ed. He first makes prayer, then de-
livers sermon on suitable text,
which usually brings the bride to tears.
After that the couple are married. Then
a hymn Is sung and the blessing given.
The whole occupies about an hour and
n quarter. Before leaving the church
a huge Bible is presented to the bride
groom. During the two weeks Of wait
ing between the under marriage and
the real marriage all the wedding fes-
tivities take place. The happy couple
are literally surfeted with dinners.
balls and theater parties and all man
ner of practical jokes are played on the
pair At the dinner toasts innumerable
are given. and ut each the whole COM
pany rises from the table to sound and
touch glasses with the bride and groom,
who never rise. Among their friends
the idea is not to allow the couple
night of sleep. II possible, before the

Attempt At Forgery.
Lancaster Herald:

Lancaster Herald
On Thursday Of last week The I'm
ion State Bank OF this city received
a letter by special delivery which
contained what appeared to be u
draft on that institution signed by
John schreiner for sS65.o0 payable to
the order OF George Kisser. The letter
requested that remittance for the
draft be sent in care of the Hotel
Sutton, West Baden, Ind, in "a CHI
cago draft. The suspicion of the Of
ficers of the bank was aroused by the
fact that the letter came by special
delivery although the signature
seemed genuine enough. In an an
swer to wire sent to Mr.. Schreiner
the bank found that the draft was
fraudulent, Mr.. Schreiner never hav-
ing written such u draft during his
stay at West Bayden. Mr.. Schreiner
made an effort to have the forger ar
rested but the last heard from him
was q letter sent from town some
thirty miles from West Baden re-
questing that his mail be for warded
to Cleveland. The postal authorities
have taken the matter up and will
endeavor to find him in which case
he will be convicted under the fed
eral laws covering such fraudulent
use Of the mails. No doubs he studied
Mr.. Schrein sr's signature on the
hotel register and then looked up
Lancaster in some directory. After
locating Lancaster he could find
from any bank directory that Mr..
Schreiner was an officer of the Union
State bank and after practicing
on Mr.. Schreiner's signature for
time sent the forged draft.

ENUMERAT0R CAUGHT
BALL TEAM ON TIME

The census in Minneapolis is finished
as far as the baseball fans are con-
cerned. The team was officially emu
merated yesterday. The fit teen play
who came over the Great western
had no sooner alighted on Minneapolis
soil than the enumeration appeared.
"Hello, Bill; been counted yet?'G he
yelled as Captain Fox hoped off the
train and began to take stretch up
and down the platform.
The worthy captain of the mill city
sluggers did not Hrise' at once, but
"tumbled" when he heard the. word
census. "You re the guy we're look
ing for,'' he said. GIVE have been
reading about this census game in T Q
Journal on the trip and you bet we
want to be counted. The whole team
has been betting with players in the
other teams that Minneapolis will beat
the 100000 mark. -
The captain hustled about, rounded
up the squad and before they left the
station the entire gang was formally
enumerated. Each one told his age,
sex and color without hesitation or en-
barrassment and then piped off the
others as they told family secrets.
The curiosity box of Superintendent
Rahn's department has been growing
rapidly. Every day brings in a number
of funny letters and slips filled out by
people who appear to have only a slight
acquaintance with the English Ian
guage.
