TALES TOLD ON BARRIE.
(Exehange.)


Among the stories which are told con-
corning j. NJ. Barrie, who is engaged on
a new work of fiction which will be pub
lished at an early date, are one or two
which show that some of his folks north
of the Tweed are not quite so proud of the
novelists accomplishments as they might
be.
Recently an old Kirriemuir woman who
knew Barrie as BARN" remarked
"Weel it's a guide thing the laddie can
max somethin' at his writin, as he could
never have made his Twin at the mills.
Another celebrity at Mr.. Barrie's birth
place, the old janitor at the town hall,
discussed the author in the following de-
predatory fashion: DO / ken Jeems Bar
RE? oh ay; / ken i'm, as l kent his faith

which was duly passed by the merciful
individual on the bench, a fine of $500
for the man and 800 for the woman.
The heinous crime for which the un-
happy pair were duly indicted and
promptly convicted was the violation
of the anti-pass law Watts, it seems,
obtained transportation in the name of
his wife and gave il to the Williams
woman. In the course of years the
brakeman may get tout of prison. if he
has 10 do time in lieu of the fine, for
he'd never be able to save up $500 out
of his wages.
1t will strike the average citizen that
this fine of $500 is greater in proper
ton to the offense charged than the
SOS, 240 600 imposed by Judge Lands
upon the Standard Oil company. Judge
Hunt showed a great deal more con-
sideration for the cattlemen who were
convicted in his court recently for lille
gally fencing public lands. some Of
them being given a small fine and
twenty-four hours in Jail. Watts was
lucky to escape being hanged.

SPOllING THE SPORT.

DIR. Wiley, the chemist and pure food
expert OF the department of agricul-
ture, is exploding all the pet notions of
the nation as to food With a ruthless
ness that is almost intolerable. He has
put an end to the manufacture of pre-
serves from hayseed and glucose; he
has interfered with the use of fusel oil
as a stimulant and beverage: he has
even questioned the prOpriety of smok-
ing brown paper and sawdust when it
is labelled tobacco. Now he is trying
10 stop the practice of storing fish for
any length of time. declaring that cold
storage fish is rank poison. and that
milk frozen and then thawed for use
is not much better than prussic acid.
Has it come to the point where the
epicure is no longer To have the chance
of pitting his stomach against pto-
maine? Is he to have no longer the
joy of gambling on a summer lobster
betting his health. and possibly his
life. against the joy of a crustacean a
la Newburs? Must he be limited to
timed salad and fish right out Of the
water?
II Wiley keeps up his present gait
there will be no fun at all in midnight
festivals of planked shad or shrimp
salad, and the common man viii have
no sport at all in his culinary diver
sions. OF course, some of US would
just s soon stick to the simple life
and wait for a seashore jaunt before
risking Holsters or crabs or shrimp or
shad. Cucumbers and fresh fruit offer
enough risk to suit the average man;
and besides. the mortality rate is high
enough to scare any conservative man
with a liking for this world, without
adding the extraordinary danger of
food that Doc Wiley says is poisonous.

A sEMI-TEEToTAL SOCIETY.

A society has been organized in Eng
land TO prevent the taking of little
"nips" in a social way during the day
or in the evening between dinner and
| the hour of going to bed. One hundred
and eighty thousand men are wearing
upon the lapel of their coats a small
red button. Inscribed thereon are the
letters IS. Il. p. A." and should a
friend invite them 10 take a wee drop
between breakfast and lunch or before
or after their evening meal the little
red button will be turned round, and
upon the back of it will be found the
neatly printed words:
| o NO Drinks Between Meals"
This little red button is the badge of
the Semi-Teetotal Pledge associa ton,
which is said to be enjoying remark
able growth in Merrie England.
There have been many plans to curb
the appetite for strong drink and many
crusades 10 do away with it altogether
in this country The Nebraska legisla-
ture once passed an anti-treating law,
but nobody paid any attention TO il, and
If it is still on the statute books it is D
dead letter.
1t may be that this semi-teetotal So
Ciety is a good thing and ought to be
pushed along, but we would hardly en-
ter into an argument with a prohibit
zionist on the subject. A bottle of wine
at dinner calls for drink an hour or
two later. when the exhilarating effect
is gone and the diner becomes a trifie
heavy in the gastronomic regions. and
we hardly believe the little red button
would be allowed to stand in the way
of immediate relief.
However, here's luck to the Semi
Teetotal Pledge association

IN M EN- ORIAM.

Little Anna is dead. The sad news
has been flashed over the wires from
Chicago. where mourning is so general
that the people no longer enjoy the
dying squeal of the stuck pig or inhale
with satisfaction the odor arising from
the owners OF the animal, Mr.. and Mrs.
Harry Thomas. are so affected at the
death of the animal that they have
been unable TO sleep or eat regularly
lowing obituary was placed in one OF
the Chicago morning papers:
Little Anna, one of the most beau
tiful Boston terriers in the country,
July 2e, 1905. She was a sweet man.
nered and lovely companion. Her mas
ter is deeply grieved at her loss. Many
offers made for her. She was priceless
and not for sale"
Hearts bowed down with grief; u
light of life gone out; no more the
blithesome bark or CHEEKY wagging of
the tail. Anna is dead, and mamma
and papa" are inconsolable- We
haven't seen an account of the funeral
but we can we'll imagine the sad scene
as the service was read, Ashes TO
ashes and dust to dust" and then the
return TO the desolate home.
Chicago is certainly entitled TO the
palm in its grief for dead dogs. Time
was when the demise of leading citi-
zen would not have been worth so much
space. Many a Windy City terrier"
has been called to his reward and the
neighbors have been rather glad than
otherwise. But times change and the
people with them, and the mournful
spectacle is presented of the close
friends of little Anna standing by the
new-made grave singing:
Sister, thou vast mild and lovely,
Gentle as the summer breeze"

HEART HAS TOO LITTLE ROOM.
Cvienna Cor Chicago NewsD


What are held to be important reveal
tions In regard to diseases of the heart
were made last night a a meeting of the
International congress on internal medi-
cine Professor Max Herr of the CniVer-
sity of Vienna, announced that the source
of disease was not weakness of the heart
itself but was to be found in the fact
that the heart could not fulfill its func-
lions properly owing to lack of sufficient
room. That this was frequently the re-
suit of holding the body in an incorrect
position was shown, he declared, in the
case of writer's bookkeepers. lawyers and
dentists, whose chests became so con-
tracted that the ribs eXerted an inJurl-
Gus pressure on the heart.
