"A BUM BY ABSORPTION"
Col. Knight Relates an Experience
with an Uncorked Bottle
Of Brandy. {.

II was tipsy just once in my life, said
Col. knight, according to the New York
Sun. 81 was going through to the Pa
cific coast, and during a short wait In
Chicago I ran to a nearby saloon and
asked for bottle of brandy.
Before could stop him, the bar
tender ran big corkscrew into the cork,
and said to him:
Don't you do that Think you're
the only man in the country who has
a corkscrew?'
80 he wrapped the bottle up quick
and passed it over and | ran for the
train. My berth was made up and
thrust the bottle in the rack overhead
without sampling it. Then turned in.
Morning broke and woke up with
a feeling that was one Of an all night
party that had tarried with the Juice at
the expense Of sleep. First wondered
where had been, and then where I
was at the moment Then l realized
that was on the train and wondered II
| could get out Of the bunk
my head felt like a sheet lead hive
with the bees getting ready to swarm.
pushed the button and when the porter
came asked him:
"'Where did l get this?
Dunno, boss, but you do look bad
"'Did l walk in my Sleep?
mo, sir, not so I'd notice IT.
"'Well, assist me cut If you think my
head will go through the passage to
the lavatory,' said, and while I waa
washing up he began to arrange the Sec
ton for the day.
when l got back to where he was
Working he said, with a grin OF great
glee:
Use got the clew to the extraneous
situation, boss. Here it is and he held
up a half bottle Of brandy and said: I
guess you didn't have to walk fur
but the cork has not been pulled
I remarked, and the coon's face took on
a look OF amazement; but readily un,
derstood what had happened.
"The brandy had been leaking
through the perforated cork, drop by
drop, upon my head and face all night
long and had accumulated regular
bum by absorption. The only Latin
maxim l could think Of to express 10y
sentiments just then was 'Similia
similibus curantur."

Music as a Profession

Unless a man is rich he ought to be
regarded as a criminal If he permits his
cons and daughters to become must.
clans. In the musical profession there
are few prizes not Of the largest. but
for the largest number Of interprela-
tive artists the life Is one OF drudgery-
the drudgery of learning, the drudgery
of pushing ones self into notice, and
after all the continual drudgery OF
playing or singing just the music the
public wants. recommend 10 one to
enter such a profession unless he or
she loves music to such degree that
the drudgery is pleasure.-John T.
Runelman, in Saturday Review.

ROBINS GATHERED BY HAND
Carolina Sport of Picking the Birds
Of the Bushes In the Night
Time.

They pick robins OF trees In North
Carolina. A young insurance Inspector
who has Just returned from the south
brings with him the queer story Of this
new kind Of sport, says the New York
Sun:
Il was in Ramsur, N. c., near Char
lotte, on the Ashbury & Aberdeen rail-
way" said he, when one evening a
young fellow about my own age asked
me to go with him for robin hunt.
THAT doesn't sound very exciting
replied. How do you hunt them?'
why. you take a hack and jug Of
corn whisky, and drive little way out
into the country and pick them off the
trees
Back up, old man, said, you must
be thinking of swallows.
He insisted that he was serious, and
the upshot Of It was that found my
self in rickety hack with the inevitable
demijohn of corn whisky, and, sure
enough, the fellow had some bags, to
carry away the robins, and couple OF
i)rches. Two or three other similarly
laden conveyances were following US.
We got out In little dip in the land,
and the torches were lighted. And there
On the bushes were hundreds of robins
which had just migrated from the north
and were resting In the warm shelter OF
the dip in the land. Those Of them that
were awakened by the glare Of the
torches blinked sleepily and chirped i'm
patiently at the interruption of their
nap.
The whole party fell to and actually
picked them off the bushes with their
hands and filed their bags as fast as
they could. Talk about getting bag Of
game! The fellows would gather 20 or
3d. and then punctuate the performance
with swig Of corn whisky, which is tina
rawest, hottest stun | ever tasted in
my life.
This continued until the booze be-
gan to get in its effects. and then fell
low fell down with crash In the thick
est part Of the bushes. The whole flock
rose with a sudden whirr and disap-
peared into the darkness. We had been
moving softly hitherto. although some
Of the robins out Of reach on the higher
branches had been knocked down with
sticks.
That's about all there Is to the story.
except that It is the Funniest sensation
| ever felt to wake up IN the morning
with my head on bag OF live robins"

No less than IA electric mountain
railways are now under way Of con-
struction in Switzerland, Within the
course of a few years all the leading
Alpine heights can be reached by noun
tain railways. Switzerland is spending
many millions on these enterprises, and
it is hoped that, with these increasing
facilities. the number Of tourists will
become greater every year. The Jung

" SaTED UIY life

That's what a prominent
druggist said of SCOTS
Emulsion a S h ort time
ago. AS a rule we don't
use or refer to testimonials
in addressing the public,
but the above remark and
SINH ar expressions are
made so often in ConneC-
ton with SCOTS Emulsion
that they are worthy Of
occasional note. From
infancy to old age SCOTS
Emulsion offers a reliable
means of remedying i'm
proper and weak develop
ment, restoring lost flesh
and vitality, and repairing
waste. The a tt 0 n of
SCOTS Emulsion is no
more of a secret than the
composition of the Emul-
sion itself. What it does
it does through nourish-
ment-the kind of nourish-
ment that cannot be OBJ
tanned in ordinary food.
No system is too weak Or
delicate to retain SCOTS
Emulsion and gather good
from it.

MARKET
REPORTS.

There were some brisk advances as
pssult OF the opening dealings in the New
York stock market today. but some OF
the most prominent stocks showed small
declines. Delaware and Hudson was car
ried UP ia. The first 5000 shares Of
Smelling sold simultaneously at l29A
and $780, as compared with 1924 last night
and the gain was subsequently extended
10 a fun point. National Enamelling con-
tinued its downward course on the pass
ing OF the dividend at a loss Of two points.
Standard stocks derived little benefit
from the spectacular rise In some OF the
high priced usually inactive stocks and
room traders sold stocks gradually until
the entire market became undermined and
a general reaction followed. Practically
all of the active stocks fell half 10 q
below yesterdays closing. There were
good recoveries all around at IL o'clock.
The recovery of prices came to halt
at about last nights closing level, al
though individual stocks continued TO ad-
vance. The market became dull with the
approach OF the hour for the publication
Of the government monthly crop report.
Bonds were irregular.
One stock after another was taken hold
Of and bid up sensationally. the incep-
tion OF the movement lay in the buoyant
advance in Delaware and Hudson, that
stock rising over ten points TO 2l5.

GOT A 10
HOUR START

An agitated woman arrived In town to-
day from up Connecticut way on the tran
OF an eloping couple OF youngsters but she
found she was about IS hours late when
she reached the city hall for Leslie Otis
Frink Of Bridgewater. VT. and Bertha
May Posk who said she was from Day
Vile, Conn, had received a marriage IL
cense at $50 last night and fastened out
to search for a minister TO make them
one.
The boy confessed 10 10 years OF age and
Miss Posk said she was Is last February
and the daughter OF Henry Posk, track
foreman.
Her prospective husband said he was
spinner by trade and the son or Eugene
Frink and Carrie I.arabie.
While getting out the license both seem-
ed somewhat Ill at ease and the young
fellow went 10 the door several times and
looked up and down the street In re-
sponse 10 query OF the clerks the girl
said that they were probably missed al
home by their parents, 30 when the wom-
an came in and inquired for them today
DR. Chapin's assistant was not greatly
surprised
The relative said she would probably
find them az Crescent Park or one Of the
beaches and went out to continue her
search.
