THE TREATING HABIT

In the recent convention of brewers
held in Milwaukee. an ex-presidcnt OF
the association Rudolph Brand, made
the assertion that the gaeatcst evil in
connection with the liquor business III
this country was the treating habit
Strangely enough, when the character
of his audience is considered, Mr.
Brands statement was treated with
applause and cheers, according to tele-
praphic report from Milwaukee,. And
yet the sellers of intoXicants owe their
greatest revenue to the treating habit.
Unless II man is practically il con-
firlncd incbriatc ne rarely thinks of TAX
ing Il drink alone. And if he is a con
tirmed drinlcr and has re;ichcd tbs point
where his system demands Il stimulant
ut a certain time, he will take his drink
and walk out of the saloon Rarely, IN
less he is an absolute slave to the ,hahit,
will he take more than one drink. On
the other hand, if three or four men are
drinking together, each feels in incum-
bent on himself to buy ut least one drnl;
for everybody in the crowd.
The result is that each of the fOur
has four drinks and by the time the
fourth drink is taken the man who
treated first feels liberal enough tC
treat again. BY that time, also, the
other members of the party are in {
generous humOr and. if all take the
drinks that are suggested, they do not
go home in II condition even bordering
on Sobricty. And the chances are that
not one of the four men had the slightest
idea of becoming intoxicated when he
walked into the saloon.
Brewer Brand is right. The treating
habit is the greatest evil connected will
the liquor industry. 1t leads to more
drunkenness, SaddCuS more homes. send.
more men into dishonpicd graves an(
causes more misery ami distress than
any other feature of thr'business The
man who drinks alone is very rarely /;
drunkard. The man who drinks will

Instances Of the New York Postmas-
ter's Remarkable Memory.
+ Many stories are told of the extraor-
dinary memory and the grasp Of de-
tail possessed by Edward NJ. Morgan,
the postmaster Of New York city, who
was recently shot by a maniac. The
fat volume Of postal laws and regula-
tions that lies on Mr.. Morgan's desk
3is termed the "Bible" in the federal
building, and he is credited with know
ing every act and amendment by
heart. Names, faces and voices are
equally imprinted on the postmaster's
memory, and the stock aneedote told
Of him is about a stranger who came
to him years ago and borrowed $40
with which to go west. on the strength
OF mythical acquaintance with the
postmaster S brother In Denver. Many
years after a man came into Assistant
\ Postmaster Morgan's office with a
complaint about the late delivery of
some mail
Yes. but how about that $40 you
owe me?" said Mr.. Morgan without
looking up. He had recognized the
stranger Of years before by his voice.
Another tale describes Ell Perkins.
the humorist, as complaining about the
delivery Of his mail. A carrier was
sent around to his house to explain
the hitch. but Perkins would not lis
ten to his explanation and began: 5

As regards the two largest, an in
novation was made in the manner Of
cutting. Normally brilliant has fifty
eight facets. In view, however, Of the
immense size of the two largest Gull
Imam brilliants, it was determined to
have an Increased number and to give
the first seventy four facets and the

! been abundantly vindicated by the re-
suits, for the stones exhibit the most

can show. This fact Is all the more
remarkable and satisfactory because
very large brilliants are apt to be
