BEER IN HIS HOME,
MANS PRIVILEGE

CHICAGO. July 1s.-Judge Petit, IN
the Desplaines street court, ruled that
every man has a right TO drink a glass
or even a can 81 beer after his days
work without being rebuked by his wife.
The Judge did not define the size of the
glass nor the can. The specific case that
caused the judges ruling was that of
Edward Wilson. of IS South Ada street,
who was accused Of disorderly conduct
BY his wife, who was in court to press
the charge Wilson, a Woodworking
man. said that after his supper It was
his habit to drink beer in his kitchen.
His wife always scolded him for this
and he left hcme-
Every man has a right to drink beer

''It is no crime.
You women are often worse than the
men," he added. Instead Of berating
him, you ought to be glad he comes
home TO drink his beer. Wilson, you
are discharged"

Method of Delivery

The Times method Of distri-
button is the best possible for
regular service for home deliT-
cry. There Is not a street In
Washington that is not covered
daily by a Times route boy.
The city Is divided into seven
districts and a special agent
of the paper has jurisdiction
over each district, his income
increasing or diminishing as
the number of papers taken In
his district increases OF dimin-
ishes. The fact that he Is re-
spOnsible for all collections
makes it certain that no worth
less patrons can get The
Times. The home circulation
Of The Times is much larger
than that Of any other Wash
ington newspaper.

Nature Resurrection.

Those who remember the icy tenn
perature of April and May, continuing
even we'll into June must take note
of the wonderful power of nature to
make up for the belated season.
1t is scarcely possible to conceive
of better conditions for forcing for
ward the vegetable world than have
existed during the month. of July even
though there has been too much rain.
The combined heat and moisture have
been peculiarly suited to, all plant
growth and the change wrought in a
short time in the appearance of the
fields has been most remarkable.
AS for the growing corn and cotton
it has advanced by such strides that
it is apparently about up to usual con-
ditions at this season and promises at
leasGhn average yield.
Beginning with unprecedented heat
in March, relapsing into unprecedent-
ed cold for the two succeeding months
we have swung around again to an al.
most unprecedented favorable stretch
of weather
| Great are the possibilities offered to
the husband-man and his, labor--after
all the complainingq and foreboding
Of month or SO ago--promises to sup
ply more than the usual bounty for the
! human family.

The Fiower of Luck.

The four-leaf clover has ever been
known as the flower of luck. We who
do not believe in signs will, however,
accept it as good omen, providing
that TO each leaf letter of signifi-
cancei be attached. We will call the
first leaf P for Purpose. Certainly to
succeed in life we must have that. The
ruaeslerless ship is already as good as
,derelict. We would consluer ID person
ready for the insane asylum who
would go to a depot agent and putting
down his purse, ask for ticket with
out stating any particular destination.
No goal worth while is ever reached
unless that goal is kept constantly in
mind. Yes, first of all, there must be
| Purpose.
The next leaf we will call U for
usefulness. No one who is drone or
parasite can be called a success in
life. To be happiest we must become
weary from honest toll in some field
of endeavor. We must be producers Of
some sort And SO let the second leaf
stand for Usefulness.
The third leaf we will call s for
Sincerity. The hypocritical life is by
no means desirable one, no matter
what the outward person may be. 1t
is ourselves with whom we must live
and insincerity will bring its own mis-
cry. AS the poet says, ITO thine own
self be true, and then it follows as
the night the day that thou canst not
be false to any man."
But thus far we have only a three
leaf clover. They are easily found
We can scoop our hand in the grass
in the dark and find these. 1t is only
/ when the fourth leaf is attached that
|, we. consider the flower worth pluckine

! for Happiness. Happiness comes
