Many men think they are virtu-

A really smart man will refrain
from saying things that smart.
The salt waterof your cynicism
is sorry stuff for thirsty world.
It is better to have your bank

The great danger is not in dit

Many a man thinks he has
praiseworthy aspirations when he
only aspires to be praised.

The Saloon in the South.
New York Witness.l

For a decade a remarkable
change has been going on in the
South. The manifestations have
been local, but the results bear
the semblance of a great move
ment. After the war the South
had almost as many drinking
places as it had stores. To-day
more than one-half the counties
below Mason and Dixon's line
prohibit the sale of liquor. For
instance, almost sixty per cent. of
Texas, nearly eighty per cent. OF
Georgia, ninety per cent. OF Mis-
sissippi, and all of Tennessee ex-
cept eight cities have voted out
the saloon, while even in Ken
lucky forty seven counties are
now under prohibition rule.
The same quality of grit, en-
durance, fidelity and cheerfulness
which made splendid records in
war are bravely at work solving
the problems of peace. In most
cases the liquor question has been
handled as plain business prop
osition. The saloon baked enter
prise, reduced the labor supply,
increased lawlessness, and kept
communities poor; worse still, it
played havoc with the individual.
In more than fourhundred counties
the good citizenship of all parties
arose and banished it.
Behold the benefits! This year
the South has more money than il
has ever known, more money fol
spending; so much of it, in fact,
that three of the great cities of the
North have formed special bust.
ness organizations to secure
Southern trade, while the cities OIL
the West have met the competitor
by the most alluring inducements
) But the larger gain is the genera
uplift of the population. Despite
the occasional outbreaks O
crime-in most cases where thu
saloon still exists-the whole trent
of the South is steadily towart
, wise and safe conservatism, ant

A Masticatina Wooer.

''It is with faltering penmanship
that I write to have communication
with you about the prospective con-
dition of your damsel offspring. For
some remote time past secret pas
sion has firing in my bosom internal
ly with loving for your-daughter. :"
So begins the letter of a love
stricken Babu. The writer contin-
ues:
'My educational capabilities have
abandoned me, and here l now cling
to those lovely long tresses Of your
much coveted daughter like a mari
ner shipwrecked on the rock of love.
As to my scholastic caliber, I was
recently rejected from the Rangun
college, and / am now masticating."

Treating.
Wilmington IN. c. Messenger

Under the lawson Wisconsin Is
indictable for one person to offer
a cigarette to another. This is a
good law and had it been applied
years ago by all the States of the
Union and enforced as to drink
ing, we would have been spared
the many heated and disagreeable
prohibition campaigns. 1t is said
that no where else in the world
does the system of treating exist.
It is unknown to Europeans, and
it is the chief cause of most of
the drinking in this country. Men
often take a drink when they do
not want it-would really prefer
not to do so-but take it simply
because friend asks them to do
so. AS a rule a man must have q
very good excuse for refusing to
take a drink when invited by a
friend to do so, if he does not want
to give offense to that friend. This
is all wrong. There should be no
such custom. Abolish this and
you have taken a long step toward
breaking the evil of social drink
ing. Few men in this country
care to drink by themselves. Nine
out of every ten men who 60 to a
saloon to take a toddy or glass
of beer want friend to 60 with
them. 1t is a social habit. Many
men drink just to be sociable-
more than because they want the
beer or the whisky. And again,
this custom of treating causes men
to take more than they would af-
ter they get to the saloon counter.
Many and many a time a man
takesseveral drinks before leaving
the saloon because of this treating
custom, where otherwise he would
go to the bar, take the drink he
wants and 60 away; but as it is
several go together at the invita-.
ton of one of the party. He
''sets 'em up" and they stand
around and talk and spin yarns
Then one of those who has beer
treated thinks it incumbent upor
him to return the courtesy and hi
calls for another round of drink.
for the party. Then, of course
the third member of the party ane
again the fourth, if the party j.
SO large, feels that he will be look
ed upon as being stingy if he does
not treat, and SO it goes. Yes
this custom of treating is tn
greatest obstacle with which tn,
cause of temperance has to con,
tend.

Chops In PAPER.


Chops, birds and dry fish are most
delicate and delicious broiled in pa
per. This should be spread with
the best olive oil; then the article
to be broiled, salted and peppered,
should be snugly tucked in the case,
turning the edges over several times
and pinching together close to the
meat. The paper will char a long
time before igniting, and the con-
tents will be basted in their own
juice. The time required for broil-

minutes. When the paper is well
