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 a
cradle and plowed with cast iron
thrashed grain with fail. and"
Here old Uncle Ben Weatherby
spoke up. Yes. 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
writin' on tombstone. But l hap
pen to remember that in them good
old days l had to work on a farm and
l know what it was. There want
hardly a book in the whole neighbor-
hood, and newspaper was looked on
as the agent of old Satan himself The
result was that when a 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 'em, anyhow"
We'll, 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
fa.ter We get cut of the GOOD old days
the longer the average CT life. They
say it's on account of s. citation. But
there hasn't been much CT a change in
that respect in the count y. 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 long time to find
cut that even one drink Of whisky I
day is bad. 1t builds NJ the sub
stance of trouble and gives merely
the shadow of pleasure. OF course,
l know there is no use to talk this
way to you old fellers. Your opin-
ions are formed and your habits are
set, but there is generation a comm,
and the youngsters are the ones I'm
after
so far as liquor maxim lawyer or
a doctor smart, why. there amt
thought in whole distillery-aot ona
any more than there is a truth IN a
deception. There is still a good deal
of whisky mixed up in politics, and
there is also a good bit Of Old Nick
left in the same. But there was a
time when the man that could furnish
the most whisky was the surest of

In WHITE DRAPERY
CORRECT FURNISHING FOR, THE
BEDROOM WINDOW.
Despite All Changes Of Fashion That
Color Still Holds Its Own, and
is. After All, the Most
Appropriate.

With all the changes of fashion In
the matter OF furnishing, the use OF
delicate white material for the window
draperies OF bedrooms continues in
favor. for daintiness is the first requi-
site OF such hangings. especially for
a woman's bedroom, and nothing can
vie with the sheer white hangings In
this quality.
Anon the materials which are now
most popular for this purpose are very
sheer inen-the most expensive of the
materials employed-sheer batiste,
cotton etamine and India and French
lawn. The fashion of the moment
calls for the use OF very fine embroid-
cry, In delicate rather than elaborate
patterns, for hemstitching and other
varieties of fine needlework and for
the use of very narrow fine lace in
seruons and edging for the trimmings
OF such hangings. The idea seems to
be to secure fineness of quality and
