If McLane thought it strange, this

SOBRIETY AND SUCCESS.

The announcement of Indiana : new governor to the OfficeSeekerS that no drinking man need ap- ply" Is the latest example of the disrepute into which tipping has fallen For years several of the great railways have insisted that their employees shall be sober men, and other large corporations have followed their lead, with the re- suit that drinking is no longer con- sidered respectable To be sure, every now and then we hear the pessimistic wall that intemper- ance is on the increase, but the facts show nothing of the kind. says Robert Webster Jones in the May Housekeeper. Half a cen tury ago our representatives in congress thought 1t no disgrace to be carried helplessly intoxicated from the dining table. Today the sale of liquor is prohibited in the national capitol, and many of our senators and congressman have in, terested themselves actively in temperance legislation. At ban quets of chambers of commerce in our large cities It is not uncom- mon to omit wine from the menu, and where wine is served 1t is un- tasted by a large number of the diners. The employer no longer demands ability in the bibulous line from his travelling men. Bus mess is not got by the corkscrew nowadays.

 The Batesyille Guard says that the officers believe that they have closed up the blind tiger business in that city hard and fast, and they deserve credit for 1t. However citizens may differ over the ques- ton of license or no license, there is no room for difference between them on the question of enforcing the law when the license question is once settled one way or the other.
 A paper in Missouri tells of a woman who was sitting in the back end of the church during a revival meeting out in the rural district. The preacher was talk ing to the people about their souls. He came to this woman and asked her if she did not want to go to heaven! She looked up in great surprise, and said: Well, me and John was going to Arkansas, but if we don't git to go, I'd just as ssoon goto heaven as anywhere. "

Freed from suffering thy spirit, And in peaceful rest thy soul Dearest mother thou hast entered In the blessed Heavenly goal. And to be resigned we're trying For we know God deemed it. best And thy face so calm and peaceful Told us thy hast found sweet rest; And we could not call thee back here To this world of pain and woe When the perfectjOy of Heaven Thou forever lnofe shalt know. But our lonely hearts are aching For thy face and smiles we miss And we long for thee dear mother. Whom we never more shall kiss; Home $ sweet sunshine seems to vanish As thy face no more we see And without t.il loving presence It no more ;l> liuilie can be. And thy place forever vacant Will bring memories Of the past; And our hearts will e'er be aching For the times that could not last. We perhaps have caused thee sorrow, That we did not wish to do; But we know thou hast forgiven Dearest mother kind and true. and thy spirit eyer loving HoyerS still around us here; Everything and place reminds Us Of precious mother, dear; And it may not be loLg, mother Ere we meet in realms above And be Sweetly reunited In eternal, boundleSs love
 Then no more shall pain or sorrow Come to grieve an aching heart, And in joyous reals we'll finger; Nevermore we then shall part; And our blessed dreams of Heaven Will our souls then find fulfilled, When at last life's cares and sorrows Shall foreyermore be Stilled.'

In the course of conversation
between two men at the club last
night one of them jokingly remark
ed that man with a "cheek" could
get anything he desired, and he
backed up his statement with the
following story;
One of his friends, a merchant,
had advertised for a porter. A big,
burly Irishman applied for the job.
After looking him over the mer-
chant was satisfied with his appear
ance. The only objection was the
question Of references, and the Irish
man did not seem to have very
good one. "Can you get no better
reference than this ?" asked the mer-
chant. ooh, yis, sor. l kin git ye
the very best kind of a wan if that's
all We want, sor, and l don't have to
go far for it either. Me father and
me mother, sor, live down the
sthrate, and they've known me all
me life"
And he landed the job. - New

Why This Odd Little Animal Appears
Only at Night.
A mouse one time rendered a serv-
ice of some importance to one of
the eagles of Jupiter. "Ask," said
the grateful bird, anything that
you desire, and in the name of my
master, Jove, l promise to grant it
to you"
"Oh, sir" said the mouse eagerly,
81 have long felt the modification
of living among such vulgar crea-
lures as the beasts and have ardent
ly desired to associate with the more
refined society of the birds. If you
could but grant me wings my happi-
ness would be complete"
"Consider well what you ash" "
said the eagle gravely. Mature has
placed you in a certain grade of So
ciety, and you need not hope that
wings alone will make you bird"
81 have considered the matter
thoroughly" said the mouse, "and
feel certain that if / had but wings
1 could at least associate with those

every WE'LL" said the eagle, "be
it sol" And instantly, wings spring
ing from the mouse's shoulders, the
first bat was created.
His ambitious desires, however,
were not realized, for the birds, per-
ceiving that he still had ears and a
tail and was besides covered with
hair, would not associate with him,
while, upon the other hand, his own
pride had withdrawn him from his
old companions.
"Alasl" said the poor, lonely ami
NAL. "Why was l not contented
with the humble sphere that nature
intended me to fill? My very wings,
that I hoped would be my pride,
now prevent me from walking upon
the ground, where l belong"
So mortified and disappointed
was he that thenceforth he ventured
out into the world no longer by
daylight, but only at night, when all
other creatures had retired. - st

BATTLE OF MAvARINo.
eoms Exciting Incidents Of this Fierce
Naval Engagement.

Naval Engagement
In the year 1927 the British ad-
miral, Omanney, took part in the
battle of Navarino, in which the
English, French and Russian ships
entered the harbor of Navarino, in
Greece, and annihilated the Turkish
and Egyptian vessels, which were
unable to leave their moorings. The
battle lasted four hours. Admiral
Omanney tells this of Sir Edward
Codrington, the admiral in COM
mand: ellis escapes from death
were marvellous. So that he might
command a good view Of the battle
he stood on the poop of the Asia,
the most exposed part of the ship.
He was talking with the master
when a shot came and killed the lat
ter at his side. A shot killed an of
fcer of marines who was on the
quarter deck just below the poop.
The admiral left the poop only once
to 90 forward to talk to the boat
swain, and while talking to him the
boatswain also was killed at his side.
ga bullet went through his hat,
in which it made two holes, and an
other bullet went through his loose
coat sleeve. Another bullet smashed
his gold watch. When on the poop
he stopped his head under a rolled
awning, and while bent like that
a shot passed through the awnings
folds. AT another time he had just
turned from a spot on the poop
when the place where he had been
standing was covered with wreckage
from aloft, which would have crush
ed and buried him. And yet through.
out the battle, when men were being
slain and wounded everywhere
around him, Codrington escaped I'M
injured"
Other incidents of the same bat
tie: can Irishman seized musket
and, with a roar of Make way
therep he swept road through the
Turks by swinging his weapon from
side to side with crushing force. One
of my fellow midshipmen, named
Hicks, was among the boarderS
many of whom had forgotten to take
their pistols. Hicks shouted to the
first lieutenant, Give them colo
shot, sirp And the boarders did
for they picked up the cold shot
which was lying about ready for thu
guns and hurled it down upon thu
Turks"

A Famous Map.

Interesting discoveries are made
now and then by students in the big
old libraries. While Baron Nor
denskjold was gathering material
for his "Atlas of Ancient Cartogra-
ply" he discovered in the British
museum the only known copy of the
earliest general map of Germany.
This was the famous map of Car
dinal Nicolas of Cues. The map
was completed in 1464. This find
greatly interested geographers. Mer-
GATORS famous map of Germany was
published more than a century after
that of the learned cardinal.
