How Wines Are CoIored,

Most people think white grapes make
white wine and dark grapes make red
wine" said visitor. THAT Is n popu-
lar error.
Red wine is made by fermcntlng
grape juice and grape skins together
the skins giving the color, and white
wine is made by fermenting grape
Juice alone.
'The juice of white and of dark
grapes doesn't differ In hue. In each
sort Of grape the juice Is almost color
less. like the weakest lemonade.
champagne, one of the dearest OF
the white wines. Is made of a grape 80
dark as to be nearly black. But the
Juice Of that nearly black grape Is
quite as pale as the juice of the blond
est white grape" e."-Minneapolis Jour

John Chctwood rose abruptly. That's

laughter was forced, and the lines on
his face deepened as he ran lightly
down the stairs.
He hesitated outside the shabby lit
tie fiat. She lived to the north. \ few
blocks to the west his friends were
waiting for him. He had tried to keep
away from her. 1t was evident she
cared for Carstairs. and he would keep

Nothing. Queer, though, about the vio-

MISSOURI RIVER BOATS.
Trips of the Old Side wheeIers In
the Early Days

the Early Days.
In the early days there was a regu-
lar line of packets between st. Louis
and st. Joseph, all side wheelcrs, and
the average round trip occupied eight
days. \ boat left st. Louis every day
for the Missouri river, and as there
were fourteen boats in the line each
boat made II round trip once every two
weeks during the season. During the
winter the boats ran between st. Louis
and New Orleans.
Coming up the river the boats ran
all night but in going down they al
ways laid up as soon as darkness set
in. In going down the river the boats
usually left st Joseph early in the
afternoon and laid up for the night at
Weston. where there was always lot
of freight to load. The next day they
went TO Lexington, the next to Boon
vile and the next to St Louis. Occa-
sionally during high water n boat
would leave Lexington at daylight and
reach st. Louis IN time for breakfast
the next morning.
The boats carried from 200 to 400
u
counting the immigrants on the deck,
but going back they only had cabin
passengers. The cabin fare from st.
Louis to st. Joseph ranged from SO
to SO, which included meals and state
room. The boats were all supplied
with fine cooks, and the passengers
lived on the best that money could
buy.
The average boat carried 800 to COO
tons of freight in addition to passen-
gers. During low water freight that
now costs 20 cents hundred cost 81 so
u hundred. The expense of round
trip from st. Louis to st. Joseph. in
Guiding loading and unloading was es-
timaicd ut $1,000, and the income from
cost to $1,000. Each boat carried
crew of from so to 100 men. The aver
age value of the boats In the line was
probably $4,000 each.
The boats We're often on sand bars,
where they sometimes remained for
day and night. but altogether the time
was made surprisingly well \ pilot
who had reputation for keeping his
boat Off the bars commanded as high
as $500 n month. Each boat was pro.
vided with two pilots, and this expense
usually amounted to from 5000 to ST..
600 month. All river pilot saved

tell high priced pilot by the size of
the links In his gold watch chain. A
rafting good first mate who knew how
to handle "A boat after 1t struck bar
received $3.50 month.
Poker was II favorlte river amuse-
mcnt, and 1t was not an uncommon
sight TO see eight or ten games going
at the same time in the main cabin of
steamboat. And the playing was for
actual money, which was displayed In
stacks on the tables.

ARE YOU
ONE OF THEM

1tftt ERE we to enter a dry goods,
" notion or general store and
ask the proprietor to give Us gratui-
tousl y of articles stocked upon the
counters or shelves, because we were
both of one political party, we would
subject oursef to ridicule. At first it
might be taken as a joke. To be ac-
cepted and considered entertaining Il
joker must find the idle to amusc.
Busy people have no time for such
dilly-dallying during business hours.
Were we to insist that we meant what
we said we would at once be declared
crazy and despatched from the
place by a gentle hand upon our neck
and foot alive to its duty south of
our trOuser buckle.
Or course newspaper men are more
mild and gentle than others Of the
business world, and such actions are
met with kindly greeting and many
times conceded to. We have our ad-
vertising space for sale Just rs the
store keepers have their merchandise,
but many-oh, so many times, petty
politicians would impose upon their
best friend by asking for some of that
space. They must be advertised, as
wcmust have victuals aud clothing,
To be presentable and victorious, yet
they refuse to pay for their necessal-
is, while we are obliged to pay for
all we get, if we do deal with one OF
our own political faith.
Even after political paper has
cared for and advertised one of its
party to success, the effort goes un-
appreciated and what printing the
Politician has invariably is asked to
he done at starvation wages, or Il rake
off is expected. Just here it may be
asked why it is that the lntelligencer,
the leading and best paper. neuer
has any Of certain Democratic poll
ticianS' patronage. You can surmise.
What ungratcful men are polite
ians, as rule. If it were, Us in years
past and gone, that the office sought the
man, it would be vastly different from
the present, when most any disrepu-
table corrupter is supported by the
people.
Are you petty politician, or are
you free, open hearted, appreciative
man, which the office you hold sought
and the newspaper of your party
helped you to get? And do you re-
member the obligations you are under
to the newspaper man when you have
advertising to let, through which
medium you can help repay him for
the many great favors you received ?

IS 1T
REALLY FAIR e?

r. AST week one day five poor
- fishermen, of McKees Hall
Falls, Snyder county, were taken by
n fish warden and heavily fined for
catching fish in the wide Susquehan-
M. The means they employed were
claimed to be illegal, but they were
only capturing the fish to appease the
appetites Of themselves and their
hungry families, which, in all proba
bility, would have soon succnb d and
died from more cOndemnable cause,
considered all right by the govern
ment.
Coal barons and other rich corpo-
patton leaders are granted the privi-
Aege to pollute and depopulate our
State streams of their fishes, but when
n poor fisherman goes forth to catch
mess of fish for his family with H.
legal fishing tackle, he is seized, and
If unable to pay the heavy fine, is
caused to suffer the ignominy and his
family to bow their heads in shame.
If the Fish Department was as
exact with the avlriciously rich cor
porations, which are allowed to freely
and fully roison even such a large
b dy of water a. the Susquehanna to
such an ex en-. as to finally kill
or fishes, as it is with the poor fish
erman, the violation of the fish laws
would be a thing of the past.
