aminations, and unpleasant local treat

essential ia tho treatment Of diseases Of

better to submit 10 this ordeal than let

is that so often the woman undergoes all

A SONG, NOT A SERMON.
But 1t Points a Moral From a Very
Ordinary Incident

But 1t Points Moral From a Very
Ordinary Incident.
1t was merry occasion. The fun
was fast and furious. 1t was in a bar
room; the place, Washington.
Inspiring bold John Barleycorn,
What dangers thou canst make US
scornl
WI tippenny we fear nae evil;
WI usquabae Wen face the devil!
And so one of this party invited sev.
en- companions to join him in drink
Of 'red licker," and they sat
Bousing at the nappy
An gettin' fou an unco happy.
The man planked down a dollar,
crisp and fresh from the treasury. The
account was squared; the score was
paid. He was family man and walk
ed across the street to a meat stand
and ordered two pounds of round
steak. The grocer supplied him and
asked 80 cents as the price. "Whatr'
the man roared. what! Fifteen cents
n pound for round steak! 1t Is a high
way robbery"
And so we 60 through life prodigal
In buying luxury and miserly In buy
ing necessity. That man had no con-
ception of his Illogical action-spending
a dollar for liquor that he and his COM
rades would have been the better with
out and kicking hole in the ceiling on
account of a purchase of beef to the
charge Of 80 cents that he could i'll do
without Man can live without booze,
but the man has yet to be invented
who can get along without food.
This Is no sermon This newspaper
never breaches. What we intended to
say and all we intended to say was to
call attention to the truth.
All the worlds a stage
And all the men and women merely play
ers.
The very best Of US have need OF the
charity of our brothers and sisters

BROlLlNG.

If the fire should be too hot, sprinkle
salt over it
Birds and other things which need
TO be halved should be broiled inside
first
Always grease the gridiron well and
have It hot before the meat is placed
on Ii.
Sever put your fork in the lean part
of meat on the gridiron, as it allows
the juice to escape.
Fish should be buttered and sprin-
kled with -four, which will prevent the
skin from adhering to the gridiron.
Remember that q hot, clear fire is
necessary for broiling all small arti-
cles. They should be turned often to
6e cooked evenly without being burned.
Cover the gridiron with a tin pan or
a baking pan. The sooner the meat is
cooked without burning the better.
The pan holds the heat and often pre-
vents a stray line of smoke from
touching the meat-Philadelph Ledg-

Another Ooxey Army.

The announcement that Jacob S.
Coxey. the individual who created a
mild sort of excitement a number of
years ago by leading a so-called in
dustrial army to the national capitol
is about to repeat the experiment, will
not provoke much interest. When
Coxey's army invaded the city of
Washington times were much harder
than they are at present 1t was act
ually true that men looked for work
in vain those dark days. That gave
some semblance of necessity to the op-
erations of the Coxey army.
But nobody who can work now need
be long out of q JOB. The chaps whcm
you see hanging about the street cor-
ners or worse places complaining that
no man hath hired them are persons
who do not banker for employment.
They are quite willing to eat the bread
of idleness. They are willing to live
off the old man. or TO encourage
their wives to take in washings that
they may have leisure to spout politics
in bar rooms and other places of pop
ular resort. That is nine-1enths Of
them are. The other tenth are just
numerous enough to prove tie rule.
There is every reason to suppose that
Coxey would have little difficulty in
raising an army" There are always
enough Of the idle aud the dissolute
to constitute sufficient material for a
froIic of that sort. But a CoEey army
today woEldn't megn what the earlier
one did. There probably never was
time liz the history of the American
people when such widespread prosp.
Gritty and general content prevailed rs
at tie present moment. It is trjSs tina
there has been a slighJ slowing Up of
industrial speed, but it still remains
evident chat every iHdustriously dis
posed citizen is able to hEd work
The discomfort which existed a few
years ago, toe, concerning the maEner
IN which Justice was dispensed in this
country has also largely disappeared.
~ Has boCOlLt cNlQtuV To sLlo COiHulOI
people that their public servants,
especially those at the head of the
federal government aud the majority
of the courts are unmoved by influence
or ERbribed by gain, and the Terdicts
which have sent United States senat-
ors and representatives to prison for
violating law have rehabilitateG the
courts IL the esteem of the people and
removed the bitterness and soreness
which were everywhere prevalent.
Under such circumstances a second
Coxey army would be the laughing
stock Of the country unless the vicious
elements Of which it would unques-
tionably be composed became menace
to the peace and safety of the COM
munities through which it passed. In
that event there is some reason TO sus-
pect that the army would soon be dis
solved into its constituent parts and
that many Of thse parts would gravit-
ate by natural sequence into the
county jails or the State penitenti-
aries. The country is quite clear in
its conviction that able bodied men,
with rare exceptions, are not liklev 70 |
be long without employment. For that |
reason it has no use for new Coxey |

WOOING SLEEP.
A Prescription That Worked Well In
PHILADELPHIA,

A Prescription That Worked Well In
Philadelphia.
a haggard looking man strolled into
downtown drug store the other day
and asked the druggist for help. He
said be had trouble in getting to sleep
when he retired. No matter how
sleepy be might be during the day or
how much sleep he might have lost,
the moment his head touched the pill
low he was wide awake and lay thus
for several hours. Once asleep he was
very hard to waken, but he had to be
up at a certain hour, and in conse-
quence of his peculiar afIliction he was
losing more sleep than he could stand.
The drug clerk regarded him quiz
zicallY a few moments and then re-
piled:
MY dear man, you don't want medi-
cine. What you want Is something to
change the trend of your thoughts.
Do as a friend of mine did. He was
troubled the same way and found that
the old folks plan of imagining sheep
passing a barrier and counting them
was out Of date, so he began trying to
name all the states in the Union. He
soon got them so he could classify
them alphabetically. Then. when they
no longer interested him, he started on
the counties of his state. He now has
them at mis- tongues end, classified up
TO the fourth letter Now he is start
ing on state capitals and their loca-
tons Then he will take up county
seats. A moments glance at an atlas
during The day shows him when he is
wrong. and the beauty of the plan is
that he rarely has to think along these
lines longer than ten minutes before
he is sound asleep To make it shors :,

The descriptions of some of the danes and other schools of the early part of the nineteenth century are OK ceedingly interesting.

One on being asked as to the terms on which she gave instruction replied: Not understanding the ques tion, l answer thus: With q view Of reading the Bible" We have the au thority of the late Lord Shaftesbury for the statement that one of these poor creatures being asked if she gave moral instruction to her scholars, re- piled, "No, I can't afford it at 8 shil lings a week" A more amusing an swer, however, was that of the teach CT who was asked whether proper at tention was paid to the morals of the boys under his care.
