Poor Whist Player Condemned.

Deschapelles, the greatest whist
player the world has ever seen, had
but one hand and was an advanced
republican. His manuel dexterity was
remarkable, and it was very interest
ing to watch him with his one hand
and that his left-collect the cards,
sort them, play them and gather them
in tricks. Late in life, when he had
developed into ardent republicanism,
he was supposed to have been mixed
up in some Of the attempts at revolu.
ton which broke out in the earlier
days of the reign of Louis Philippe.
His papers were seized, and it was
proved that he had drawn up q list of
persons to be disposed of. Among them
was an elderly acquaintance, SO de-
scribed: 'Vatry (Alphie) to be guillo-
tined. Reason-citoyen inutile. Vatry
is a bad whist player"

Prohibition interferes with
personal liberty. So do the laws
against fighting on the streets,
getting drunk in public, disturb
ing the peace, gambling, etc. It
is interfering with a mans per.
sonal liberty to require that he
wear atleast a few clothes when
he appears in public; that he
shall not US profane language on
the street.-Crowley Signal.

Vanity Makes Mfshts.

A tailor tossed into a corner a suit
that had turned out a misfit.
1T is mems vanity that makes nine
tenths Of the misfits," he growled.
How so?"
why, when q man ome in here
to be measured he won't stand in his
natural way. He is too vain. We go
to take his chest measure, and to have
the satisfaction of hearing a big num-
Der yelled out he puffs out his chest
like a pigeon, and then his coat and
waistcoat are too big for him.
He does the same with his back,
%stiffening it, if he is bumped, to a mil
itary erectness. The same with his
shoulders; if they slope he raises
them to his ears, and if they are round
he throws them back till the shoulder
blades clash together. And if his
stomach protrudes he draws it in.
Thus our measurements are all
wrong, and the suit, thanks to the
mans vanity. must go to the misft
dealer"

Save All the sianure.

Keep the stable well Uttered, Says
the Progressive Farmer, with leaves
and straw for the stocks sake. A
load of manure in the stable is worth
more to the farmer than sack of
fertilizer at the factory. There is
a great deal more in stable manure
than mere plant food. 1t contains
inyriads of bacteria that lin some
way unknown to the average farmer
break down and liberate the plant
food in the soil, which makes 1t of
more value than commercial fertli-
izer containing an equal amount of
plant food. Save all the manure
possible. It it does not lessen the
fertilizer bill, It will increase the
crop yield.
On days when neitl. l.er blowing nor
other work can be done, If they are
convenient to the field, 1T will pay
to haul rotted leaves and throw di-
rectly on the land The fertilizer
value will justify the hauling, and
the organic matter added to the land
will also be helpful III. d

turDedA b. 10 the United States trea-
ssury% Daring That war the govern
ment authorized the seizure of ,aban-

net proceeds placed in the United

vision that IL any one should bring
suit within two years after the close
of the war and prove that the. pro-
perty sold belonged to him the
money received for 1t. should be paid
over, but to do this the citizen
bringing the suit had to, prove 10y

most Southerpers until the amnesty
proclamation was declared in 1866,

claims to court, the two years grace
having expired. The object of the
