The Ever Present Fan.

Harold Skinner in May Lippincotts.
 Ban Johnson, president of the Ma tional league, tells an amusing story of his experience in a New York restaurant.
 While attending a conference in the east,n relates the baseball magnate, "I was presented with handsome Boston terrier. That night, accompanied by my four-footed friend, I visited an uptown cafe. Presently waiter. formerly from Chicago, accosted me, and announced:
 No dogs allowed. You'll have to take him out
 Come come old man. I replied; he's offending no one.
 Can't serve people who have dogs, I tell you! continued the waiter wrath fully, collecting an armful of dishes from an adjoining table. You'll have to get out!'
 Just then friend of mine dropped in, and said in a cherry tone. well, well. Ban, glad to see you How's baseball" Before had time to reply, I was startled by the crashing of dishes. Turning quick ly l beheld the waiter rushing toward me with outstretched hands.
 q Hello, Ban!' he exclaimed cordially. skipping me on the back Didn't know youl What'll ye have?-what'll the dog have?''

The Care of Animals,
Washington Post.

From the Washington Post.
 sThe approach of warm weather warns humane persons that the hardships of dumb animals are apt to be increased un- less forethought is shown by their pro- tectors. Families going away for the summer are sometimes guilty of thought less cruelty toward their pets by leaving them to shift for themselves. The Hu- nane society will attend to such pets as are to be disposed of permanently. but does not maintain a cat or dog home. Private places are provided, however, where pets may be left for the summer.
 little attention to the needs of ani- mals will prevent great suffering. and every person can find an opportunity to do a kindly act if he will Watering troughs should be placed low. so that dogs as well as horses may slake their thirst It has been proved frequently that dogs thought to be mad" were merely frantic from thirst, even when not kicked and cuffed about. These ani- mals, when they have masters at all should be decently treated and stray dogs should be promptly impounded.
 Work horses begin to suffer as soon as the weather becomes warm. Much of their suffering is unnecessary. Their harness should be looked after, and heavy hauling should be done in the cool hours as much as possible The Humane society intends to devote it's attention particularly to the relief of work horses and it deserves the cooperation of all horse owners in keeping ignorant and brutal drivers in check.

Ruined by a Sure Thing

prison Swett Warden in Success magazine.
 A sure thing" an inside tip," has ruined more men than almost any thing else. A splendid man committed suicide in New York not long ago be- cause he lost everything on an inside tip," for which he drew $16,000 from the savings bank-every dollar he had in the world
 It had taken him many years of care ful economy and self-sacrifice to ac- cumulate his little fortune; but it was all lost in one foolish investment.
 He thought he was going to make big fortune; but, instead of that, the stock he bought went down, his mar gins were completely wiped out, and he found himself penniless.
 The recent financial panic brought to light many good illustrations of the possibility of being ruined by sure thing" Scores of people who went down, lost their money on what they were led to believe were perfectly solid investments that were "sure to win. "
 Thousands of clerks, and many other people. with their small savings, like a flock of sheep, followed the inside tip of some financier who is believed to know what is going to happen, and were ruined. The truth is, even the most level-headed business men and the most astute financiers do not know what is going to happen, as is shown by the fact that many of them were caught and seriously crippled in the late panic.
 There is a vast multitude of people living in this country today in poverty, many of them homeless and even with out the ordinary necessities, not to speak of the comforts, of life, just be- cause they could not resist the tempta- ton to gamble, to risk enough to make them comfortable in some get-rich- quick scheme. which they were told was a sure thing"

The Doctor Habit.
m Success Magazine.

From Success Magazine.
 One of the tendencies of i'll health is to make one morbid. People who are con- stantly thinking about their ailments, worrying about their troubles, suffering pain. often develop a morbid passion for sympathy. They want to tell everybody of their aches and pains, to describe their symptoms.
 Have you ever known woman who has acquired the doctor habit, woman who loves nothing in the world quite so well as an opportunity to tell the doctor of her ailments? She has poured them out to unwelcome ears to forced listeners, till she longs for some one who can really appreciate it all, who sympathizes wlth her in her troubles; so she sends for the doctor, or goes to see him.
 This becomes almost a mania with some women, who have few outside activities to divert them Their minds naturally revert to themselves and they think of their un' fortunate condition until they become sat urated with the poisoned thought.

It is organiza- ton and not organization. it goes strict ly by parliamentary laws, and that it IS d law unto itself no man would dare gainsay. It is all that and more, so at the Wilmington convention when the president called for the committee to de- eide the question as to who originated the United Daughters of the ConfederaeY Mrs. NJ c.

 Mrs. Rounsaville explained that there was a misconception of the committee formed at Montgomery and asked that the matter be left in the hands of the committee and the results be incorporated in pamphlet or in the minutes. The matter was finally settled by the appoint ment of Mrs. T. M. Worcester, Mrs. j. N. Tench and Mrs. s. T Mccullough Tor Mrs. Raines: Mrs. H. A. London, Mrs Basil W. Duke Mrs. John P.

STRANGE INCIDENTS
 OF THE REGENT STORM
BY A. c. AYLESWoRTH.

Hattiesburg, Miss, May 2.-(Special)- The stories of strange incidents connected with the big cyclone continue to come in. and some that are well youched for are almost incredible.
 It is related that Alex McCardle, a farmer in the Indian Springs county, had in his home at the time of the storm some s75 in money, bills and coins. This was all swept away, and so far as anybody knows has never been seen since. But it i- related that on the same night anothSr farmer living some three miles distan9 had a dream to the effect that he was in the act of taking fortune out of . mud puddle. In the morning he remembered this dream and made his way out into a field where was a mud hole much like that he had seen in his dream. He stirred around in it with a stick, and came upon g bill and two dimes, the exact amount he had dreamed of finding.
 In the same neighborhood lived farm CT who had in his house two trunks, each well packed with household goods and wearing apparel. At the bottom of one trunk he had quart bottle of whisky slowed away, and at the bottom of the other trunk he had lot of valu- able glassware, such as goblets and small dishes. Both trunks were securely locked When the cyclone came it demolished the house. and all it's contents were whisked away on the wings of the wind No trace of either of the two trunks or of their contents has since been seen. But on the morning after the storm this farmer went into his uprooted garden, and there sticking in the mud, neck down ward was the bottle of whisky intact and beside it stood glass from the bottom of the other trunk.
 ! On the night of the cyclone there was
The Birmingham age-herald., 1908-05-03

confined in the city jail 13-year-old white
 boy, Sterling Cragin, member of an ex- cellent family of this community, charged with larceny. While the storm excitement was at it's height he quietly slipped a piece of metal between two steel bars that formed his cell grating, made a sufficient opening, and let him. self down to the ground on the out side. There was great commotion in po- lice circles when his escape was dis
 covered, and bloodhounds were brought in to take up his trail. But along to-
 ward morning the boy walked quietly
 into the police station, and remarked to
 the officer in charge that he had just
 taken a walk around to learn if any of
 his people had been caught in the cy- clone. Upon assuring himself that all were well, he returned and surrendered. The fact was that two of his sisters were in the demolished town of Purvis at the time and the house was carried away from over their heads, though the young
 ladies suffered but little injury.
 A Spanish coin of rare mint was picked up on the road after the storm a few miles out from this city by H. B.
 Wright It bears the coinage date of 1753, and bears the countenance of Phlllipus, Hispano Rex, V. D. G. The coin is of about the size of quarter dol lar of the present day.
 On the farm of J. D. Miller just east of Hattiesburg there was found a 15- foot strip of mating which from certain print marks is believed to have been blown all the way across country from
 Louisiana, probably 200 miles. At the
 same place was found considerable
 amount of women's apparel in the way of
 hats, dresses and lingerie. How far they
 were driven by the wind there is no way | to tell.

How to Stop Drinking

It was formerly customary for the habitual .drinker to take the pledge regularly, sometimes once year. and sometimes in every fit of remorse that followed his debauches. and then Break it.
 But now it is gradually dawning on the world that pledges do not stop drunkenness. The nervous system of the habitual drinker is diseased and he must have treatment that will cure this condition. brine is sold under a posi- tive guarantee to cure the drink habit or the money will be refunded. Can be given secretly.
