Old British Drinks.


Mead, made Of honey, water and
fpices; bragget, morat and pigment,
variants, We're very early drinks IN
England.
Currant wine, elderberry, gooseberry,
mulberry, ounce, plum and apricot
wine are old fashioned varieties. Pars-
niDs and turnips produce very pow
erful village brandy.
Cowslip and rhubarb wine are very
different, the former weak and the lat
tier very heady.
Fir tree tops, green nettle tops, birch
and beech sap, bog myrtle, heather-all
produced liquors. And did not New

the patriotic boycott on British goods,

E1owers of Good Cneer.

Although DR.. Oliver Wendell Holmes
never practiced medicine. those who
knew him intimately say that he
cheered more sinking invalids, cured
more sick people and did more good,
even from a medical standpoint, than
many Of his young physician friends.
The secret Of his power lay in his over
flowing cheerfulness and kindness OF
heart. he scattered flowers Of good
cheer" wherever be went. With him
optimism was q creed 'Mirth is Gods
medicine" he declared. Everybody
ought to bathe in it. Grim care, mo-
roseness, anxiety-all the rust OF life
ought to be secured off by the OIL OF
mirth."

An Ingenious Printer.

It requires a great deal Of ingenuity
to become successful printer. Boys
with printing presses and ambitious to
develop into great printers should re-
member this and exercise their lnVen'
tive qualities at every opportunity.
A story is told Of a Prague printer
who got himself out Of very disagree
able dilemma by the use Of his lngen'
ious mind. He was once called upon TO
print a report Of the board Of trade OF
his native city in the two languages OF
the country, German and Czech, ana
the representatives Of each national
tty strenuously desired that then
tongue should occupy the first OF tne
parallel columns on each page 1he
wary printer got out Of his dilemma
by printing one column upside ~ooWn
throughout the hcc!S~and arranging tne
titles accordingly, so that each IAN
guage had front column on every
page.

Here was a dilemma. No sinker, no
more fishing that day. Ia! Happy
thought. His flask. No sooner said

After few minutes interval, "Ha,"
ouoth the doctor, "a bite."' And up he

OUR NEW YORK LETTER.
BY H. W. FINLAYSOE.

There are among the four mil
lion souls here, half a million
Southerners; it is a pleasure to
to meet and mingle with these
people possessed of the charms
of the Southerners, enlivened by
Northern experience.
The New York Sun is credited
with being ably edited. The Sun
certainly gets off some pertinent
sayings at times. Referring to
Mr.. Bryan's recent declaration
in Washington that he had moth
ing to say on the party's future,
it remarked that the democratic
party was one with a fine future
behind it, It is such sentences
the Sun bristles with. catchy,
cutting. taking
1t is not generally known. but
there is an exception to the Con-
stitutional clause in this State
prohibiting Imprisonment for
debt. This clause provides that
household servants, for services
rendered may sue and the Judge
ment not being satisfied, the
debtor may,be!incarcerated. Why
household servants are entitled
to such special legislotion is not
clear, any more than other la
borerS.
The writer is a typical South
erner and the accent of the South
land cleaves to his tongue. Ere
quently he is told that could be
recognized by his 'sseben" for
seven; :sDoar" for door; ''Moe"
for more; ':foteel.' for fourteen;
New York" for ON Yark;"
sNorth for Narth." Yankees are
clever after all and some years
residence among them has con-
vinced US that they are human
after all and have hearts as 9th
er humans.
John Martin has had his eye
sight restored after total blind
ness for IA years. Martin was
the substitute employed by G. B.
Rouse to let the multitude ex-
pertinent on, when he made his
famous offer of 81, 100000 for
the restoration of his sight. A
woman was the instrument, and
she says prayer did it, her only
treatment was to manipulate the
the eye balls. Martin is employed
in a book bindery, goes around
alone, can read print and says
he is the happiest man in the
world.
The population of Greater
New York is made up Of a per
cent immigrants: or children of
Immigrants; 6 per cent negroes
and 20 per cent native born.
Why many things as they
are here is to be attributed to
the fact so few are native Amer
leans and foreign customs and
ideas enter into life so much, the
statement has been made that
three-fourths of all the children
born of peasant parentage here,
die before 5 years of age and the
rest before the age Of IS. Sta
tistics present queer facts at
times and this is one of the in
stances.
It is often remarked away from
the large cities that while mech
anics and laborers receive larger
pay than in the interior, smaller
cities, towns and country, they
render better service. Your cor
respondent has heard it answer
ed often that one them do twice
as much work in a day, the
average does elsewhere. 1t is
all a mistake. The larger wages
are paid, I have watched them
closely and can safely say they
do no more tnan away from here,

Columbus, Ohio, Nav 10. 100.

Columbus, Ohio, May 1o, 1908.
Some four years ago I was suffering
from impure blood and general rrn.
down condition of the system. had no
appetite, was losing flesh, and had an all
gone tired feeling that made me naise1a-
Bile. I began the use of S. S. S., and
after taking seven or eight bottles my skin
was cleared of all eruptions and took On
ruddy, healthy glow that assured me that
my blood had been restored to its nor
NAL, healthy condition. My appetite was
restored, as I could eat anything put be-
fore me, and as I regained my appetite
Iincreasedin weight, and that tired feel
ing" which worried me so much disap-
peared, and was once again my old self.
I heartily recommend S. S. S. as the
best blood purifier and tonic made, and
strongly advise its use to all thosein need
of such medicine. VICTOR SrUBBINs.

z. B. Gallagher, president OF tn

pany, a Great Falls organ
lied for the purpose of developing thu
Bannatyne oil fields in northern Mon
tana, is in Helena on business con
nected with his company. which Il
soon to begin active development
work on its properties.
The company's lands lie in Chou
teau and Teton counties. and its frs
point Of operation will be about five
miles from the town of Dutton on the
Montana & Northern railroad. Al
this point last September a drill was
set to work for the purpose of boring
for water for a summer stock range,
When the drill reached a depth of SOC
feet the project was abandoned as a
water proposition, and the driller was
about to leave the place when he con.
cluded to pack some of the boriugs in.
to a sack provided by the United
States geological survey, at the re.
quest of that department..
He detected a peculiar odor abou,
the borings, and going t the we'll ap.
piled a lighted match to its mouth.
An explosion followed, and the gas
continued tn burn for some time. En-.
couraged by the indications of oil, the
Bannatyne brothers and Mr.. Gal.
lagher undertook the work of sinking
the we'll to IA depth of 500 feet, and the
result was such as TO warrant them ia
the formation of a company to push
the development of what promises to
be a heavy producer Of the best grade
OF Montana lubricating oil.
DR.. Emil Starr, of Helena, made an
investigation of the district and in his
report thereon declared that in his
opinion there is hardly any better
prospect for oil and gas anywhere in
the state than at this point, express sing
the belief that it would in the future
become one OF the most profitable aud
productive in this country.
Mr.. Gallagher said last night that
his company would get to drilling by
the tenth of April, if not earlier, and
1t will be prepared to sink several
wells if necessary. The greatest esti.
mate as to the depth to which the well
would have to be sunk is !, 100 feet,
while the lowest estimate placed it a,
800 feet. The average depth through.
out the United States at which oil has
been struck Is a little less than 9OC
feet.

meeting Of citizens of the Milk river
valley held at that place Saturday,

Havre, Chinook, Malta, Hinsda ale and

cluded the adoption of resolutions in
which 1t was stated that great hard.
ships are being imposed upon the PEG.
pie OF the Milk river valley by the &C.
ton OF the government in delaying

people have settled upon this land
within the past few years hoping that

expectation of citizens of the Milk
river valley that work will be begun
on the project at an early date.

will be held in Havre and will be sub
ject to the call Of the executive COM
mittee, at which time all the towns
