Teller as bein' the worst scoundrel on
the earth. Just then somebody pulled
his coat tail and says: Tom. you're
on the wrong side What did Tom
do-apologize? No, he just sloshed
his liquor over on the other side and
there he was. He said: Such, gentle
men Of the jury, is the false argument
that will be brought forward against
this inoffensive gentleman and SO
forth. and then he proceeded to clear
him. The young lawyer had to drink
because the old Teller set him the ex-
ample. Why, in those days a man
didn't think he was, at himself until
he had about three drinks. There was
hardly any such thing as farm ma
chinery. They cut wheat with
cradle and plowed with cast IRON
thrashed grain with fail, and"
Here old Uncle Ben Weatherby
spoke up. Eyes. and folks were a
dinged sight better off then than now.
There want half as much stealth a
goin' on"
NO." Limuel admitted, because
there want half as much to steal nor
half as many folks to steal it. But
when a man thinks as you do, Uncle
Ben, there amt no use to arguy with
him. Nobody can successfully arguy
with a man that's a Twin in the
past. 1t is of no use to dispute the
writin' on tombstone. But / hap
pen to remember that in them good
old days had to work on farm and
l know what 1t was. There want
hardly book in the whole neighbor-
hood, and a newspaper was looked on
as the agent of old Satan himself The
result was that when man went a
few miles from home he was in a
strange land. There want a stove
anywhere, and in the winter we near
ly froze to death. But there's no use
in recountin' all of the Inconvenience.
You won't acknowledge EN-, anyhow"
well. that's all right" said the
judge, but with all the liquor drinkin'
folks lived longer then"
THAT so? The reports of the life
insurance companies don't say it. The
faster we get out of the good old days
the longer the average of life. They
say it's on account of sanitation. But
there hasn't been much of a change in
that respect in the country. But here
the average length of life is increasin'
the same as in the towns. It's liquor,
boys; just liquor. The most impor-
tant truths are the slowest ones we
learn, and it took a long time to find
out that even one drink of whisky i
day is bad 1t builds up the sub
stance of trouble and gives merely
the shadow of pleasure. Of course.

way to you old fellers. Your opin-
ions are formed and your habits are

him II he has anything to do with
Aieck Saunders, because Aleck swears
like trooper in Flanders.
You have done all these things in
order that Theodore's language may be
free from the tares that might other
wise choke it; but have you been
careful in all things? Have you seen
to it that the records of the talking
machine that you bought for his de-
lectation are up to your own high
standard Of grammar and culture? I
trow not.
A photograph need not be vulgar
II its early associates are of the prop
er kind. but I notice that many of
them are vulgar, One gets the I'M
preston that they have copied the
speech of coarse and uncultivated
men. Photographs have absolutely
no creative ability, but they are. with
in certain limitations, absolute mimics
and they have the knack of picking
up the phrases of men whom you
would never think OF admitting to
your drawing room.
You were Mortified the other day
at the notion Of letting dear Theodore
go to one of the most respectable
OF continuous shows, but the new
record that came to him that after
noon had mimicked word for word
monologue that never would have
been allowed upon the boards of that
theater. His little friends Aloysius
and Van Sutphen and Saltonstall use
an English remarkable for its purity
of infection and information, but that

Pardon me, my dear young mother,
but 1 can't help laughing at you just
a little. You take Theodore to the
symphony concerts that he may cult
vate his musical taste, but 1 never
hear him whistling any movement
from Beethoven's. Schubert's or Schu-
mann's symphonies. Yet that mex
pressible street song that emerged
from the photograph last week was

An old log distillery, famous through
out the country, had Just been destroyed
by fire, and several men, sitting in the
courthouse, were talking about the
passing away of this landmark, dating
back to British rule. when Limuel
Jucklin spoke up: And I understand
that it's not to be rebuilt This shows
how sentiment has grown In certain
direction. Why, / can remember the
time when If a stillhouse had burned
down they would have begun to re-
build it before the ground cooled off.
Every man in the community would
have been Interested 1t would have
been almost like shutting off the sup
ply of milk from youngster. In those
days IL a man hollered hello you'd
ask him to have drink before you
inquired the nature of his business.
That much was naturally to be in
ferred. But good many folks will
tell you that there want so much
drunkenness then as there is now. Well,
there want as many people. If there
had been as many people there would
have been more drunkenness. The fact
IS that good many men were about
full all the time and as no one had
ever seen them sober nobody could
tell when they were drunk"
"Then you don't believe that dram
ds good for a MANI" said the county
Judge.

about all of mans keenness-his
freshness, you understandable make a
Twin or to push anything to success,
and good-sized horn of liquor nearly
always takes off the wire edge. I can
recollect when the average lawyer
thought he had to be about half drunk
before he could make speech
Whisky gave him a bigger flow Of
words, and as whisky was the jury.
and sometimes the judge as we'll as
the lawyer, liquor appeared to have
pretty nigh everything its own way.
A trial want hardly anything but a
talkin' contest. The loudest talker
was usually regarded as the smartest
man, for of all critics in the world
whisky is the worst.
Whisky not only furnished the ar
gument, but very often supplied the
cause for litigation. Most of the
trials were of criminal nature, the
cause for an ordinary lawsuit having
resulted in fight. And could al
ways believe the story they told on
old Tom Marshall, one of the greatest
lawyers of his time, I reckon. One
day he was rather hurriedly engaged

pretty far along in his cups-quart
cups at that-he got off on his wrong
foot and began to prosecute. He tip

dowdy, the next thing to do is to stop
being dowdy.
If you are married, stop it because
your husband doesn't like It.
If you are single, stop 1t because
the young men Of your acquaintance
don't like it.
/ can't tell the difference between
a bolero and polonaise; am not an
expert In feminine sartorial terminolo-
gy, but I can tell a dowdy woman a
block on and SO can every other
American man.
1t is Just as much an affront to
your family to be dowdy as it is to
serve embarrassing dinners. Let your
food be plain IL need be, but let 1t be
something that attracts the attention
of the tongue and causes 1t to tele-
graph pleasant news to the stomach
So though your clothes be plain
and inexpensive, make them interest
ing. II you have been married for
some time and have always been dow.
dy, you will be surprised to. see how
the change in your get-up will affect

notice and will tell you you're growing
young again.
Get together in this, oh women, and
the .dowdy will become as extinct as

$50 far as liquor maxim lawyer or
. doctor smart, why, there amt q
thought In whole distillery-not one
any more than there is q truth in
deception. There is still a good deal
of whisky mixed up In politics, and
there is also good bit Of old Nick
left in the same. But there was
time when the man that could furnish
the most whisky was the surest OF
election. / recollect once seem
whisky key used for a ballot box, and
I never knew of anything more appro-
pirate And say, Uncle Ben, while you
are turnin' your eyes back into the
past, see II you can find statesman
that was q drunkard Some Of the
most entertainin' speakers got drunk
occasionally, but they want states
men. Now, q statesman ought to be
able to see the comm of great
calamity. But not one of those men
called statesmen because they were
entertainin' could foresee the almost
never-endin' calamity of our civil war.
On both sides they thought 1t would
be q muster, the firm of few guns
and then a subsidin' Of the whole
thing. Wine helped to blow the fame.
but it never helped to put out the
fire.
Yves, I'd like to talk to the young
fellers There amt no hope for the
young man that drinks. He may be
just as moral--in a general way he
may be more moral than hundreds Of
fellers that don't touch liquor at all
but in these days liquor on young
mans breath offsets a thousand let
tiers as to character. / notice in
newspaper that the emperor of Ger
many says that beer is ruinin' thou
sands of his people. Temperance folks
used to hold up beer as means of
escapin' whisky. But when mans
drunk 1t doesn't make much differ
ence what put him there. I've noticed
that right Industrious man can get
drunk on beer, and when it comes to
drinkin' the average man amt wantin'
in industry.
"a good while ago. when didn't
have quite as much Judgment as I've
got now, some one told me that /
ought to take beer as tonic. He
took it and was the healthiest lookin
man / ever saw. Well, havin' little
leanin' that way, anyhow, took his
advice. l started in one day when
I'd come into town to get some barbed
wire, and the more / drank the more
was convinced that it wouldn't make
me drunk I fell off my horse goin'
home and as. I couldn't get back,
slept right where I was. And when
I woke up nobody could have con-
WINGED me that / hadn't eaten the
barbed wire. I haven't touched a
drop since, but it took me about ten
years to live down that days report.
Folks would say: oh, yes, know
Linn Jucklin-gets drunk and falls off
his horse So, boys, whenever some

for you, go him a little better and
