CIDER GOT HIM IN TROUBLE

WYUMING, Del.,-0ne of the most intri-
cate questions OF fact which the next term
of state eogrt here will have to decide in
TIE enforcement of the "dry" law in
this prohibition territory is the question
Of the Intoxicating or the Notwithstanding
qualities of "cider"
The same "cider" sold at the Alsace
Hotel in Wyoming, was shown to have
two effects to-day in the trial OF Proprie-
TOR I aac X. Gooden f,r selling intoxicat-
ingsdrinks to Alexander Larimore.
Larimore swore that he started in TO
drink some of the cider and orderedit Of
Proprietor Gooden. but got good and
drunk before he had proceeded far with
his sampling process and had to be taken
home
/ Another witness, on the other hand,
produced by Gooden who is preparing to
make vigorous defence, made oath that
he could not possibly get drunken Good
ems beverage, for he had gone into test
oft for the same purpose and made the

WIVES SHOULD GET BUSY AT MEAL TIME

Magistrate O'Reiliy OF New York, APP
preached by badgered and henpecked
husband for advice, gave it emphatically
and succinctly. It consisted of this;
Don't scrub the floor, don't wash the
dishes, don't give your. wife all your
earnings keep some for yourself, when
your mother-in-law comes around and
tries to boss you, throw her out, be kind,
but don't be mollycoddle.
The complainant is, or processes to be,
hard working man who has been mar
ried only year and a-half, hardly long
enough for the right sort Of honeymoon
to lose its lustre but he says after peg
ging away all day he comes home at night
and finds his wife seated in rocking
chair reading novel. That sounds COM
Portable and cozy, as it is when the
housework is all done and the bread
winners slippers are out before the fire
and nice easy-chair ready for him. But
in this case there is no such mollycod-
ding. The man says the moment he
gets in he is greeted with "Bill, old chap,
get busy fix things up" At first he
didn't mind this, but when it came to
making him wash the dishes, make up
the beds and scrub the floors, with his
mother-in-law looking on and insisting
that it was fine exercise, he quit aud
appealed to O'Reilly for assistance and
advice. All Of which goes to show that
If woman knows where to draw the
| line she can work the ordinary man to
the limit and never get any "back talk !"
But he is like the camel, which will
stand up patiently so far and no farther !;
then be quits, and neither threats nor
caiolry will induce him TO bulge. The
moral of this is: Give willing husband
fair deal. Read novels or hot-air in
the day time, when he Is out OF sight, but
get awfuIiy busy round about meal time.
A little dexterous management will 90 a
long way.
Grace s. Richmond, an actress, says
"The average man would care for bis
home above all other places on earth
If he got half a chance. It's in him to
do tits in the most restless and migra-
tory Of bis SORT No matter how be Ioams
about, he likes to know be has home to
go to, and bis fondness for staying in it
is in exact proportionor SO believe
to the degree in which that home APP
proaehes the ideal. Not in outward show
most men care surprisingly little about
that-bnt in the qualities which make it
place happily different from the best
club or bachelors hall which ever

HOW THE OTHER HALF GIVES

THAT the sentiments OF tender charity
are innate among the poor can be seen
from case which presented itself among
little children at school wherewe visit
ed, writes Ms John Van Vorstin her
Christians article in Konlnfa,a Horne Cnnl-
pdpioa. They were of the most destitute,
this little class, but as regular as soldiers
in attendance. After an unusual absence
oftwo days, one Of tie small pupils, Mary
by name was closely questioned by the
teacher on her return. Very reluctantly
she responded that they had been without
food at home and that she was ashamed
to come hungry to school.
No comment was made before The
other children. Nothing further was
said.
The following morning small process
sion filed before the teachers desk-a
procession Of little people, tiny, poor, ig-
norant. Yet not one Of them came empty
handed. One brought an apple, one
piece Of cheese, one roll, one slice Of
meat. Ana each, as she put her meagre
offering down, whispered 10 the teacher.

| Speaker Cannon's course in reorganiz-
ing the committee on Agriculture along
lines calculated seriously to curtail the ap-
preparations for the Department of Agri-
culture will not be as generally approved.
Mr.. Cannon has transferred Mr.. Henry
of Connecticut to another committee be-
cause he was too friendly to the Depart
ment and has made Mr.. Scott Of Kansas,
who Is noted for his conservatism, the
chairman. Incidentally, MI. Cannon has
told bis new committee that he expects
no provision for the Appalachian Forest
Reserve, for the Agricultural educational
scheme urged by the Assistant Secretary
Of Agriculture and for the extension Of
the Bureau OF Soils. Secretary Wilson is
almost on the verge Of tears over Speaker
Cannofs's action.

Speaker Cannon has taken an action in
his appointment of the House Committees
which is certain to commend itself to all
business men. He has again reorganized
the Committee on Bankingand Currency,
so that the power of Chairman Fowler,
who is devoted 10 certain financial yag-
aries, il broken and the committee will
hereafter be dominated by men of more
conseryatiye,siews. Entirely apart from
the correctness or the reverse OF Mr..
Mr.. Gpwler's views, his course has for a
number Of years operated to prevent any.
financial legislation, although the need for
it has been long recognized by the Re-
publicans in Congress. The Senate is
strongly opposed to system of credit
currency which is the sum and substance
of the Fowler bill but whenever any at
tempt TO pass legislation has been made,
Mr.. Fowler has refused 70 consider any
thing but his own bill. Speaker Cannon
holds the same opinions regarding the
character Of the legislation which should
be enacted as do majority Of the Senate
and his action this week payes the way
for adequate legislation by the two houses
Of Congress, for failure of which the Re-
publican party would surely have been
blamed.

They came by twos and threes. friend bringing a friend, just as Of old the inconspicuous Andrew led Peter to Jesus, who was to be head of the Apostolic Band. They came, friends bringing the sim stricken friend, just as of old the four friends broke up the tiling of the roof, that they might let down into Jesus company their paralytic friend. They came singly, in pairs, in knots, in droves, until the inquiry room was crowded with full dozen score. If heavens arches ring with jubllant notes, when the Shepherds kind arms bring one sheep, broken and bruised on the mountain side, home, will you rafters with exultant song when those earth-weary pilgrims that night took their pitchers from broken cisterns that hold no water and started to fill them at the never-failing fountain of redeeming love?

It is refreshing once in while to break connection with ones quiet country life and get down into the motl and hub-bub of the great city to see what people there are doing, what they are thinking, and at what pace the big driving wheels of life are go ing. Of course, this change Of base is taxing to one's strength; and yet change of place does bring rest, for lolling head and folded hands are not always what weary ones need. It's different world down there. Even slow-moving mortal to-day lives at a hotter pace than his strenuous grand father did; but the busy New Yorker who is right at the center of the mael- strom's whirl, puts in more of life in two days than his ancestor who fought during his whole lifetime. The other ping right out of solid stocks on Wall dread expectation of another Black Friday on the morrow, the hair of some men who had to throw their all into the slump turn grey In one night and the rapid events of few hours were like the panorama of years. A New York man said, a little while ago: stYou can tell Boston man just as far as you can see him, but you cannot tell him much. The average dweller on Manhattan Island can tell the av- craze man from the rural districts much; and that's why we take trip that way now and then, to be spruced up in our knowledge of current events,
