FAR -SIGHTED.-Little Margaret is a
far-sighted child, and she always pro-
vides for the future in her thoughts.
Recently her father went to Boston on
business; at the evening prayer time
her mother suggested that Margaret
should add keep papa safe in Boston"
To this Margaret exclaimed: Good
ness! did not know God was in Bos-
ton" Then, pondering, she continued,
But I'll ask Him, for papa is very i'm
portant, isn't he mammal"
"Oh, very, dear. If we did not have
our papa, we would not have this pret.
ty house and all our nice things"
Does papa give us all these?" quer-
led the little maid; and without him
would we have to give them up?"
Yes, Margaret"
Goodness! think it Is an awful
risk to have only one papa in family
! think there should be several, in case
OF accidents"

drill sergeant was instructing some re-
cruits in the mysteries Of marching
movements and found great difficulty In
getting a countryman Of his to halt
when the command was given.
After explaining and illustrating sew
eral times he approached the recruit,
sized him up silently for couple OF
minutes, then demanded his name.
Fitzgerald, sor," was the reply.
Did you ever drive a donkey
Fitz?"
Yes, sor."
What did you say when you wished
him to stop"
Whoa"
The sergeant turned away and i'm
mediately put his squad in motion

NEW LIGHT ON DAIRYING.-In one of
the model schools in our town first
grade teacher was having a lesson on
the cow" She was trying to impress
on the young minds the various uses of
the milk Butter, cheese, etc, had been
disposed Of, and she wanted some
bright genius to tell how the farmer
fed the surplus milk to the pigs. Lead
ing up to this, she asked the question:
Now, children, after the farmer has
made all the butter and cheese he
needs, and used what milk he wants
for his family, what does he do with
the milk that still remains?"
Dead silence followed for mo-
ment. and then one little hand waved
frantically. The teacher smiled and
said, "Well, James"
He pours it back into the cow!''

DENATURED ALCOHOL.
New Law Will Neeessitate Increase of
Revenue Force.

Revenue Force.
Commissioner Yerkes of the bureau
of internal revenue, says Washing
ton dispatch, believes that the en-
forcement of the denatured alcohol
law, which will go into effect Jan. /,
1907, will necessitate the enlargement
Of the field force of his bureau. Just
what additional force will be neces-
sary to see that the provisions Of the
law are carried out will depend entire
ly upon future events, but should 1t
become necessary to strengthen the
forces of his offices that the law may
be strictly adhered to, examinations
will probably be held by the civil SER
vice commission for appointments.
Concerning the new law, Commits
sioner Yerkes said today: Consider
able misapprehension exists as to the
new denatured alcohol law passed at
the last session of congress. This law
will not go into effect until January
1, 1907.
1.-The denaturing process will be ac-
complished on the distillery premis-
es wherever they may be located,
where the alcohol is produced, In
special warehouses designated and
used alone for denaturing purposes
and for the storage Of denaturing ma
terials. These buildings and the ope-
ration itself will be under the closest
governmental inspection and control.
Denatured alcohol will supplant very
largely the consumption Of wood alco-
hol for both domestic and manufac-
turing purposes as 1t will be cheaper.
1.-The price of the specially denatur-
ed alcohol will naturally vary accord
ing TO the cost Of the denaturing In
gradients selected to meet the necessi-
ties of the manufacturing industries.
These special formulas will only be
used where 1t is made perfectly ap-
parent to the department that the In
dustrial interests involved cannot use
completely denatured alcohol by rea-
son of the presence of wood alcohol
or benizine.
1.-The adoption of the legislation
will require some extension to the
force of the internal revenue bureau.
especially for field work. 1t will also
add very largely to the work OF the
chemical division Of that bureau.

WHAT He WANTED-One Of the first
men to reach San Francisco with q
hoard of Klondike gold was an Irish
man named Finnegan, who had been
very poor before he struck 1t rich, and
who, consequently, was unfamiliar with
many ordinary usages Of a life Of lux
ury.
"Oi say, yes kin bring me two dozen
eyesters," he said, airily. as he took a
seat In one Of the finest restaurants In
Frisco.
The oysters were soon set before him.
and Finnegan, looking about him fol-
something to put on them, and hardly
knowing what that something should
be, spied a bottle Of Tabasco, and pro-
ceeded to season the bivalves not wise
ly. but too we'll.
Impaling an oyster upon his fork, ne
thrust It into his mouth, then leaped to
his feet with a terrific roar Of pain,
and began dancing about and yelling
like madman.
See here!" cried the proprietor
rushing to the table, keep still, or I'll
put you out!"
P-P-put me out, is it? OF wish yez
would put me out!" yelled Finnegan.

DEATH OF WASHINGTON.
Not Much Mystery About 1t As Has
Been Alleged.

Clement K. Shorter. an English
writer of more or less distinction, sur
prised everybody last week by print
ing in a London newspaper an article
in which he asserted there was mys-
terry surrounding the death Of General
George Washington about which
Americans hesitated to talk. If there
be a mystery we should like to know
what 1t Is.
George Washington caught cold
when riding over his plantation at
Mount Vernon on the afternoon Of De-
csmber IL, 1899. Forty eight hours la
ter he died.
He was attended by three of the best
physicians of that part Of the country
He was bled no less than three times
to relieve a sore throat and he was
dosed with calomei enough to deprive
a healthy man Of his life. But what
is the mystery?

BLOW HARD."-A young woman
who presides at the organ of one OF
the churches in Wyndmoor, a settle
ment on the east side of Chestnut hill,
Philadelphia, related an amusing incl
dent in which she played an important
part.
On going into the church she OBJ
served that a new minister occupied
the chancel and determined to play
her best. At previous services she had
had considerable trouble because the
blow boy would let the wind out Of the
organ when she needed 1t most.
So she wrote him a note, saying:
BLOW. blow hard; blow all the time
until l tell you to stop"
She then beckoned for the boy to
come to her and gave him the note.
He, supposing the note was for the
minister without opening 1t. carried II
to the pulpit and delivered the mis-
sive to the dominic.

A CHOICE OF EvILs.-A young Scotch
man fresh from his native land had
'hired out" to a western farmer as
harvest hand He was strong, indus
trious and full Of enthusiasm, but the
mosquitoes were a revelation to him.
In all his experience he had never en-
countered anything so fierce. blood
thirsty and persistent, and they made
his life miserable.
"They won't bother you, Sandy" said
one of his fellow laborers, 'if you
smoke a pipe when they're. round you"
Sandy had never 'smokit," but he
procured a pipe and some tobacco and
proceeded to follow the advice.
For a few moments he smoked with
much zeal and earnestness. Then he
became very pale. He laid the pipe
down and placed the tobacco by its
side.
otis varra guide tae keep the mos
quitoes away, nae dott," he said. with
a long, quivering breath. "but 1 pre-
fair the mosquitoes!"

"Ts II a business or a love letter
that you expect?'
"The girl faltered.

"'Well, there's nothing here said
the man. after looking over the assort-

CHARGE OF CONSPIRACY.
Local Brewing Workers Case Taken
Under Consideration

After the arguments in connection with
the preliminary hearing in the Police Court
yesterday, on the charge of conspiracy
against seventeen officials of the local
Brewery Workers Unions, Judge Kimbail
announced that he would reserve his de-
cision until next week
United States Attorney Baker and AS
ststant United States Attorney Adkins ar
Sued the case for the government and At
torney H. E. Davis for the defense II was
The contention of the defense that IL is per
fectly lawful for union to declare certain
firms on the unfair list and to ask and try
% persuade their friends to withdraw their
patronage from those firms and that the
acts of the defendants We're no more than
as stated. The circulars which were dis
trtbuted about the city, 1t was urged, only
asked friends not to patronize firms with
whom the union was not friendly.
The government argued that even grant
ing that the union had a right to declare
firms on the unfair list, they went further
than that by saying to the brewers who
had been selling beer to the unfair bot
tiers, that the union would put the brew
ers on the unfair list; also il they fur
aished the unfair bottlers with beer. 1t
was further contended that, inasmuch as
the Brewery Workers and the Drivers
Unions had made contracts to work for the
brewers, to ask the union men not to de-

asking them do an unlawful act In break
ing their contract with the brewers. There
fore, IL was argued, they conspired to in
lure the trade of the complainant bottlers
by doing an unlawful act.
