CRUSHING a Clerk,

He was rather carelessly dressed,
yet any n who is at all an observ-
er could have seen at a glance that
his clothes were of excellent mate
rial and had evidently been made by
a good tailor. But the clerk in the
hat shop was young, and he stood by
watching the customer pull over an
assortment of colored hatbands un-
til he struck one that caught his
fancy. "I'll take this one," he said,
handing it to the clerk.
"That's the New York Yacht
clubs colors," remarked the clerk,
as if that settled the question. The
customer looked at him sharply and
repeated his statement that he
would take the blue and red and
white band he held in his hand.
"But you don't want that" pro-
tested the clerk. CHATS only worn
by members of the New York Yacht
club"
"I'm one. Just put it on my hat,
sonny" said the man dryly. The
clerk wilted.-Yachtsman.

Sedatives Are False Friends.

Referring to the subject of worry.

alcoholic discussions that have been
exciting scientific circles. He writes:
"The habitual use Of sedatives. such
as alcohol, opium. morphia. choral. CO.

demned without qualification as false

OLD jim ERlDGER.
A Rocky Mountain Guide Who T~hought
M~unchausen Was a Liar.

'@S q q
Sir George Gore, ii wealthy Irish
sportsman, began in 1855 d hunting
expedition among the Rocky noun
tains which occupied two years and
exceeded anything of the kind ever
seen on this continent. The outfit
consisted of fifty persons, including
secretaries, Il steward, cooks, t1ymak-
ers, dog tenders, servants, a train
of thirty wagons and numerous sad
die horses a,d dogs.
Old Jim Bridger was Sir Georges
guide and Interpreter, and no man
on the frontier knew the glens and
passes OF the mountains so accurate
ly as be did. Though iiliterate and
as unconventional as. an Indian.
Bridger va. honest, kind, generous
and shrewd-just the man to at
tract the Irish sportsman.
In his "Old Santa ie Trail" Colo
mel Inman describes the companion
ship of the two men-One a rich,
educated, whole souled Irish noble
man, the other a man who from
boyhood had lived on the plains,
depending on his tact and rifle for
food and life.
Sir George would lie in bed until
10 o'clock in the morning. Then he
took a bath, ate his breakfast and
set out generally alone for the days
hunt. 1t was not unusual for him
to remain out until 10 at night, and
he seldom returned without ''meat.'
His dinner was then served, 10
which he extended an invitation to
Bridgcr.
After the meal was over Sir
George was in the habit Of reading
from some book and drawing out
from Bridgcr his ideas about the
author.
The Irishman usually read from
Shakespeare, which Bridger reck-
oned was too highfalutin for him.
"Thet thar big Dutchman, Mr..
Fullstutf," he commented, was a
leetle too fond of lager beer"
Sir George read the "Adventures
of Baron Munchausen' to Bridger,
who remarked that he'd be dog
goned eff he swallowed everything
that thar baron said. He thought
he was a %"liar,' yet acknowledged
that some Of his own adventures
among the BIackfeet would be
equally wonderful "if writ down in
a book"
Bridger thought Sir George a sue
cessful hunter, an opinion justified
by the records of the two years
hunt-forty grizzly bears, $500 buff
f%alocs, numerous antelopes and 9th
er small game.

DRINK HABIT WAniuG.
Temperance In Business Life Has
Come to Be q Necessity.

Come to Be a Necessity.
The English have always been not
ed as heavy eaters and drinkers. Eng
land is still one Of the largest CON
sumers of liquor per capita, and the
drink problem is a serious one in the
tight little island. But there have been
great changes in the last few years.
and there is a steady tendency toward
greater temperance in living. The Pail
Mall Gazette, in an article on the de
cline of old fashioned chophouses in
London. says: "Thirty years ago it
was no uncommon thing to see ten Or
fifteen men out Of Il company Of sew
enty or eighty who went to these big
dinners of whom it would be said hat.
although they were not perhaps intox-
icated, they had had quite enough.
What a wonderful change today. o
go to similar dinners and find men
drinking no more than one glass of
champagne. literally diluted with ae-
rated water and not the slightest trace
of intOXicatiOn."
The change in this country is even
how to live. In the matter of eating
and drinking we are wiser in our day
and generation than our ancestors
were. Temperance in business and
professional life has come to be a mat
ter of necessity. The world has no
use for the Incorporate 1t does
not trust him The man whose mind
is befuddled by drink Is not wanted in
any place Of trust or responsibility.

CHICAGO. Sept. 2s.-With the exception Of
a slight rally during the first half hour. the
wheat market was weak the entire day In
huenced by the weekly statistics and by weak
cables, the market opened easy with prices un-
changed TO ~ lower compared with SATURDAYS
closing. Shortly after the opening the demand
OF several commission houses raised prices to a
point about &c above the previous close The
market, however, unable to withstand the
bearish influence and soon weakened again. De-
clines at Minneapolis and Winnipeg were partly
responsible Tor the renewed weakness The
lower prices at Minneapolis were due largely
TO an increase of S50090 bushels in stocks there
during the last two days. while the decline a
Winnipeg was largely the result of predictions
OF big increase in receipts of new wheat
during the last half hour the market was bear
shly affected by rumors to the effect that the Wis
lbie supply statement would show surprisingly
liberal increase in the available stocks of wheat
In the United States and Canada. The official
ngures which We're made public few minutes
before the close verified these rtimors inasmucb
