Who Won the Wine?

Copyright 1908, by American Press Asso- ciation.l
 Montgomery Stout's business often keeps him late at his office, and at times when funds come in after bank hours he carries them home with him. A street car line passes within few minutes walk of his house, and irr this distance lies the only danger. He car ries revolver, but what use is q weapon when one is dropped by rap on the back of his head?
 Stout was one of q younger set of men in his suburb who were together a great deal and constantly joking one another. He talked to them about his nocturnal trips home, his fear of footpads and what he hoped to accom- plish in case of attack One night when he was passing dimly lighted place between the street car line and his house he was seized from behind by both arms, hand was thrust in his pocket and $500 in bills taken, to- gether with his revolver. so that when the robbers ran away he had no NCdpOu NIln W II lo pul Sut titin
 On reaching his house he found sev- eral of his friends. whom he excitedly told of his adventure and his loss. They sympathized with him deeply, and while doing so two others of the set, Mark Hamlin and Ben Turner. walked in. Stout was somewhat sur prised to find callers so late at night 1t was II o'clock-but after all, there was nothing remarkable In their visit. After listening to his account of the robbery and asking many questions, Mark Hamlin handed him the pocket book of which he had been robbed and confessed himself the robber.
 Then there was a general jollifica- ton. Stout brought out drinkables and cigars, and all agreed that a very amusing and practical joke had been played.
 Some months after this Stout was again on his way home at night, this come in late. when at the very same spot as before he heard the order:
 Hands up"'
 At the same time he felt the cold muzzle of gun near his ear and hands relieving him of everything he pos sessed. Then the man with the gun said to him:
 You walk around the block before you go home and remember that you're watched. Any attempt to use tele- phone for the next half hour will re- suit in q hole in you"
 Now, the threat was lost on Mir. Stout. for he knew it had only been made as bluff. The robbers would not be likely to wait to see that he completed his walk. Besides, the voice that gave the order was very like that of Mark Hamlin.
 Just wait a bit. my fine fellow" thought Stout, "and we'll see whom the joke is on this time"

He was within stones throw of his a revolver-the robbers had taken the one he carried-ran back on tiptoe to find them dividing the spoil under a gas light
 Hands up!" he yelled in a sten- torian voice.
 There were but two men, and both raised their hands.
 Leave the things on the sidewalk" :" cried Stout, "and. mind, no lowering of hands"
 Stout said this to gain time to think. The men remained motionless
 Now turn your backs and go on down the street."
 with each other did as they were told. Stout followed till he came to his prop erty, picked up every article, then fired his revolver.
 At the shot the robbers took to their heels, and Stout went home and to bed chuckling at the way he had got even with his practical joking friends
 The next morning he telephoned ''the gang that Hamlin would break bot tie of wine at noon at popular restau- rant. telephoning Hamlin also to be there. At half past 12 all had arrived except Hamlin, who came few min utes later.
 "NIy friends" said Stout, this prac- tical joking has gone far enough. drove off two of you last night and recovered the property you had taken. One of the two I know. Mark Hamlin, you owe me and this party the wine"
 q? The wine? What do you mean?'
 II mean this: When you played your game on me some time ago and found the boys at my house, you and Bill Turner coming in later with my pocketbook, I took the joke good naturedly and opened my larder. Last night I turned the tables, drove you owe the wine"
 Hamlin stood gaping at his friend in astonishment.
 Do you mean to say I robbed you last nightf"
 Come; no bluffing! I made you and your pal, whoever he was. drop the swag. got it and fired a shot after you to scare you, at which you took to your heels.'
 Hamlin continued to gape. but the others told him to own up like man and pay the wine. He made another offer at a denial. but being met with the cry of Shame" pushed the but ton and ordered in champagne. For an hour there was merry party-all except Hamlin, who never opened his mouth. bearing the chaff of his friends without irritation. At the end of the feast he said.
 'T give you all my word of honor that I had no connection whatever with this robbery"
 Then the party looked at one another.
 For heavens sake,' exclaimed Stout. did I get the better of pair of real robbers?'
 And there was an explosion of laugh ter. T. DE WITT BOWMAN.

ADMIRABLE

The annual banquet given by this Society for the study of Inc briety just held in Chicago was interesting in its toasts. Dr. H. O. Marcy of Boston, honorary president, spoke on the Social Glass. :"
 President Hall, in comment ing on his remarks, said: "The Alumni banquet of Northwestern University Medical school held last evening is said to have been the largest Alumni banquet ever held in this country. About 800 physicians were present as guests of the faculty. The point is, there was not one drop of wine at that table. (Applause)
 It seemed that no one missed it. l have attended fifteen of these banquets and there never has been any wine. We have learned much about banguets and about wine since 1883.
 When l say that the Dean of that faculty was Dr. N. s. Davis you will understand the rest. <" (Dr. Davis had not given drop of alcohol in any form to a pa- tient in over fifty years before his death.)
 It is certainly a mattar of significance that great body of medical men can meet every year and never miss the wine cup and never think of it. If wine were put on the table a very large numher would not partake of it. D
 Isn't it grand that the w. C. T. U. has department of "Medi- cal Temperance" and are giving to the world the great truths discovered by these medical stu dents of the evil effects of alco- hol and drugs on the system.
