SODA WATER and BEER.
Observing Nan Says "Soft Stuff" is
Dsunk More Than Int0ricants.

This talk about New York being wicked and
rum bibing city makes tired said about
town the other day. Why. do you know that there
are about twice many soda water fountains IN
this city as there saloons, and who ever saw
one OF the former that was not busy the whole
day long? There is soda water, and soft
drinks generally. sold in this town, I believe than

season.
There is no way of verifying my statement, Of

possible with the mercury at 50 degrees Men Of

On nearly every corner of the East Side for in
stance, and in nearly every doorway possible, there
is soda font. pail of lemonade or an ice cream

Then, too, the festive is present in this bust

day. and while was drinking my glsssful five
children came in and carried home pals of ice
cream soda varying in size from pint to four
quarts. The dealer told about one-eighth of his
trade came in this way.
Now. of course. know that the pail trade OF
the saloons is not put bv the soda fountains.

How to Treat Your Boy.

y boys mother should remember that
if she treats her boy as a gentleman
she will do much toward making him
ole.
She should not treat her boy 20 per-
petual frowns, seedlings and fault-find-
ingS. Sugar. attracts more flies than

bier manhood.
She should never be so busy or hard
pressed for time that she cannot listen
to him. If he lives to be a man he will
all too soon leave her. She should make
the most of him while she has him.
She should not deny her boy any OPP
portunity to enjoy outdoor exercise or
sports. and she should not forget TO
train him With a proper regard for his
personal appearance.
She should never allow him to form
such habits as coming to table in his
shirt sleeves, neglecting his nails or
teeth. or carrying soiled handkerchiefs.
She should not try to break her boys
will but be thankful that he is manly
enough to have mind of his own, and
devote herself to training it to the no.
blest uses.
She should not fail to instill in him
a distaste for all that is vulgar. She
should teach him good manners, which
will be of the greatest benefit to him
all through his life, and see to it that
he is always polite and courteous TO
girls and women. and never forgets to
raise his hat to them or let them enter

Just Once in 4 While.


Just once in a while if we'd think to
convey
To those who walk with US lifes devil
Gus way.
In glances or words, half the joys that
abide
In our hearts because loved ones are
close by our side;
If we'd think but to garb in words
tenderest dress
\ phrase that were sweet as a mothers
caress.
Cares road would be shortened by
many a mile;
If we'd think TO be thankful just once
in a while
Just once in a while if we'd lay down
OF worry and work by the side of the
And bit Of the love that we're feeling
eXDend
On sister or brother, or parent or
friend.
In words that would tell them their
nearness makes light
The path which alone we would grope
through the night;
How oft we'd be blessed with an an
swering smile,
II we'd think to be thoughtful just once
in a while.
Just once in a while if hand were but
pressed,
a shoulder but patted. a word but adj
dressed
That would thankfulness speak to the
ones by our side,
Would not joy spur the feet to mag
ical stride
As they wendell their way down LIES
main-t travelled road?
Would not griefs slip away and thus
tighten the load?
For ourselves and for others we'd
shorten each mile.
If we'd think to be thankful just once
in while.
