The Drawback.

The Drawback.
Beardman was writer Of plays,
ultimately fairly well known in his
day. For nearly twenty years he
struggled and fought his way along
without meeting with any very pro-
nounced success, each play in turn
proving more or less of failure. At
last, however, he produced play that
really caught the public taste. He and
the famous Sheridan happened to be
present together on the opening night.
All went well. Success followed sue
cess, and applause greeted and ended
each scene. At the end of the second
act Reardman's elation got the better
of his discretion, and, leaning over to-
ward Sheridan-as usual, too witty to
be merely sympathetic-he exclaimed:
Sheridan, Sheridan. it's going to be
success, complete successW
"Ah, yes," murmured Sheridan,
with exquisite compassion In his voice,
TOO bad, too bad"
ssToO bad?" stammered his friend,
completely taken of his guard. 'sWhy,
too bad that 4 should prove success?"
Because snow.'' retorted Sheridan,
It'll take you another twenty years to
convince any one you wrote it.''

A Remarkable Strike.
From Tit Bits.

From Tit Bits
 One of the most extraordinary strikes of modern times was that of the reporters of the parliamentary debates in the German reichstag. While one of the deputies, Herr Grober. was speaking he made declaration which caused the members of the press gallery to exclaim: "ohl Ohr' This led the deputy to call them "herd of swine.'
 The reporters demanded an apology, which the deputy refused to give, so they left the press gallery in body. They also stated that they would not report another word until they received an ade- quate apology. This apology has now been given and accepted
 While the action of the reporters could notp revent parliament from meeting, it had a most serious effect, inasmuch as it prevented the members obtaining their usual world audience.' More than Ahis, 1t had the effect of preventing the m- perial chancellor from delivering an h. portant speech reviewing Germany's fer eign relations. As matter of fact, the strike had the effect of disorganizing tlhN parliamentary machine of the great Ger- man empire.
 That is not the first strike of it's kinds Thus the pressnlen of Sydney caused cv.l- siderable trouble ana aHnOydHce to tile members of the New South Wales parlia- ment The reporters were very severely criticised owing to the manner in which not prevent parliament from meeting, 1t of the members it being stated that they took liberties with the speeches
 The relations between the reporters and the members bcame so strained that the pressmen waged a remarkable little war The war took the form of reporting the members speeches exactly as they were delivered--not the slightest embellishment being given and no alterations being made. Accordingly the speech of one of the members read as follows:
 Press gallerymen-the reporters-ought not to-the reporters ought not to be the ones to judge of what is important-not to say what should be left out-but--the member can only judge of what is impor- tant As las my speeches-as ths re- ports-as what I say is reported ne- times no one-nobody can under nd from the reports-what it is-what I ,eean. So-it strikes melt has struck me certain natters-thngs that appear of importance are sometimes left out-omitted The reporters-the papers-points are reported
 - mean to make a brief statement what the paper thinks of interest-is re- ported"
 As may be imagined. the srouble was very soon settled, the journalistsS gaining a magnificent victory, and the mesubers being glad to revert to the old state> of affairs. &#

terday and saw the wagon loads and carloads of boxes containing bottles of large and small and listened to the ex- pressman check off the packages in a loud voice, and all the packages were for Geor- Sia and Alabama, and the messengers and clerks looked upon the whole thing as a great joke. making remarks to the effect that so and so, at so and so, Georgia, would have jag at about p. m., and have to be put to bed. Most of the whisky shipped to dry states is squirrel whisky, two drinks of which will make a man climb a tree. I saw one train go out with extra express cars and Chattanooga sits back and laughs at her dry neighbors. Georgia and Alabama are like the boy who has had his chair pulled out from under him, and has struck the floor good and hard A boy who has had that trick played on him is pretty mad, and says 1t is an outrage, but when the pain ceases he tries to play the joke on some one else. So after Tennessee becomes entirely dry. as it is liable to do next fall, Georgia and Alabama may become wet again, and then look out for the things they will do to Tennessee in the shipment of the squirrel whisky back across the border with ac- crued interest. In the meantime all the vets and quite a proportion of the drys are seriously considering the letting in of enough beer to keep the tongues from becoming too dry. As it is now the dry ness where it Is dry. is so that men dare not laugh, for because their lips are chapped. and bottle of beer looks to them like a bright star in the heavens, and they wonder how far the star is from the earth. I think things will be getting drer for year or more, and then the tide will turn, beer will be the pioneer that will locate in the dry towns. and then gradually all will get back to the old con- dition. with fewer saloons, better men to run them. all under an excise board that will take a license away when there is dirty work done, reasonably early closing. no politicians allowed to handle saloons. and when that time comes you will see everybody happy a smile on every face, and everybody enjoying a personal liberty that will make them proud of their coun- try and glad they are alive.

MR. PECK DIAGNOSES
 THE CASE OF TENNESSEE
BY GEORGE w. PECK.

away the gentlemen who were there, one would not think that there ever was war, and killing, and burying the dead. and cannon, and trouble generally Do you know, when I looked at Missionary Ridge from an auto, where our army went up, like climbing up the side of house, I thought if l had been Grant down there at Orchard Knob, with my troops around me, I would have remained there, and sent word to the Confederate general in command to come down and have it out on the level and if he refused to come I would have told him to "go plumb" and 1 would never have spoken to him again. But, of course, if the fight had been down in the valley we could never have had half so good place for monuments to show off. But, confound a war, anyway. Wars make trouble that last so awfully long.
 I am now engaged in diagnosing the case of Tennessee, which has been out with the boys until she thinks she has had jag, and is now partly on the water wagon. and expects that next fall she will be clear up on the wagon seat, driv- ing her team of runaway horses up and down her mountains until something breaks, when the whole outfit will go rolling down the mountain side, with her people under the wagon, and the neigh bors telephonng for a doctor. It has been said by an eminent man here that the natural gait of a Tennessee horse is running away, and the people here runaway on the question of prohibit ton, hysterical and nervous acting like Indians st ghost dance, bringing ministers, women and children into politics at the bidding of ambitious and interruptions demagogues, causing neighborhood fights, pickering and jeal- ousy, just on account of a little beer and schnapps that will hurt nobody if they let it alone, and anybody can let 1t alone if they will half try. I never did run into a street to stop 8 runaway team, because a runaway horse can't be reasoned with unless you run him into barb wire fence, but here l am trying to show these ghost dancers of the mountains that it is time to quit this night shirt parade and get down to bus mess, and make Tennessee the greatest state in the union. This state is long on unoccupied land, and short on people to work the land. The state has room for half a million or more families of Germans, Hollanders, men from Switzer- land, Norway and Sweden, with wives and children, who would find home they could be happy in. and they would trans form every acre of the fertile soil into vineyards, farms, dairies, and what not
 The state wants theem, and those good natured foreigners want to come, but as long as they cannot enjoy the customs of the Fatherland, you could not dri1 hem into Tennessee or any other soutk pro- hibition state with a million soldiers and make them stay over night. Driving
