GONE FISHING.

Hct made the world for fishermen
Fer us the small waves fash.
For us the scarlet berries crown
The lakes encircling ash.
For US the clouds are milky pearls
Set in turquoise's blue.
For US yon eagle solemnfy
His winged circle drew.
What luck?" II luck were always good
The chiefest joy were gone.
The lure of sweet uncertainty
Still draws us on and on.
The dimpling waters softly smile.
And underneath them lies.
Swallowed by some mysterious rock,
The swift, elusive prize.
The glory of his golden scales
A kings reward might be.
Tail we to-day? To-morrow's ny
Shall take him cunningly

MUNICH THE CITY OF BEER
Consumption of the Beverage in That
Town zoe, 900 Barrels a Year,
Declares a Tourist.

Munich is the great beer city of
the world" said Fritz Sommersen,
Memphis, who has recently returned
from a continental trip, to a Milwau-
kee Free Press reporter. There are
nearly 5000 breweries in Bavaria, big
and little. or about one to every 1000
inhabitants. The largest are in Mu-
Mich, one of which produces annually
100000 gallons of beer, and there are
two others not far behind.
THE city of Munich drinks every
year 100000 barrels of beer, or nearly
two barrels to every man, woman and
child in the place, and pays more than
$6,000,000 for it. Taking the whole
country, the consumption of beer is
260 quarts head Of population. Mu-
mich alone has nearly 300 breweries,
there having been a steady increase in
the number for the last 200 years.
In 1900 there were so breweries In
the capital, but the first records con-
corning the brewing of beer date back
to 1850. For several centuries after
that time mead, concoction of water
and fermented honey was the COM
mon drink of the people.
In 1915 the hofbrau, or royal brew
cry, was established, which is still q
flourishing institution, and puts a
great deal of money yearly into the
kings Golfers. When Gen. Grant was
in Munich the hofbrau was the only
one of the city's sights that he chose
to see. and he was so well pleased
with the beer that he gave the
waitress a 50-cent tip"

slistened in tho moonlight and the cat

Rosy Cheeks.

Imperfect circulation Is often the
cause of colorless cheeks. Be careful
to eat nourishing food, drink six or sew
en- glasses of water during the day, live
in the open air as much as possible,
breathe deeply and practice light gym
nastics. Do not use cosmetics on the
face, but battle it frequently. Scrub 1t
good with hot water and soap ct night,
and battle 1T with cold water several
times during the day. This will tone up
the skin and improve circulation.
