Thackeray's "Jeames."

Of the Post was familiar figure at
weddings and receptions in the forties
and fifties, and Thackeray always
spoke of him as "Jeames" and vOided
the walls of ridicule on him and his
works. "Jeames" avenged himself by
carefully leaving Thackeray's name
out of all his lists. "Jeames" had one
direful experience. When Prince Al
bert went to the Isle of Wight to In
spect Osborne the fashionable re-
porter" managed to get on board the
royal yacht before she left Cowes.
When the boat was halfway across
the SOlent the presence of stranger
on board was detected, and he was in
terrogated by one of the suit. Jeames
announced his professional position
and was Informed that he had been
guilty of an unwarrantable intrusion.
He was forthwith bundled into a small
boat which was attached to the yacht,
and as the sea was rough he was
drenched to the skin in few minutes.
When the yacht arrived at Portsmouth
the tide was low, and Jeames was pull
ed out of the boat and compelled to
wade to the shore through the mud as
best he could.-LOndon Truth.

Some Figures Never Mentioned by the

Liquor Traffic.
Taking them at their word, we may
assume that the single interest of the
brewers and liquor dealers is to pre-
serve public welfare by generously
contributing through taxes and
rentals and purchases, millions of dol
lars annually to their fellow men. If,
therefore, anyone can show that these
philanthropio citizens can benefit
their fellow men, economically alone,
more by discontinuing, than by con-
tinuing their business under public
franchise, they will certainly give il
up, because, as they say. they are sure
that they will sell more liquor if for.
hidden to sell it. We therefore quote
from the Massachusetts state bureau u
of statistics of labor. from a report
based upon year of careful study. II
is the report of impartial experts,
please note, and not of Temperance
cranks and prohibition fanatics. -
Paupers-75per cent. used liquor.
40 per cent. say liquor caused their
poverty.
Adult criminals, all classes: SO. A
used liquor; 81. Al per cent. were led
into their crimes by intemperance.
Insane (adults )-54.14 per cent
used liquor; 80 per cent. insanity
caused by liquor.
Results to state finances-40 pauper
expense, $3.50. 7O7; "a per cent.
criminal expense, $749, ,27S; 80 per
cent. insane expense, $491, 962; 81
per cent. of interest on money in
vested in buildings for paupers, orimi-
mails and insane caused by use of
liquor, $2773. 16; 81 per cent. of
judges and attorneys expense to state,
$144, 256.
Total expense to state of Massa-
chusetts. caused by Incorporate habits
of its criminals, insane and paupers,
80, O124, 10; received from liquor H.
censes, $8384, IA; loss to state,
81, 173, 945. And do not forget that
the license fees we're really paid by
the poor drinkers of the state, through
the saloon keeper as tax collector.
AS to rentals, men employed, etc..
we have only to remember that the
stores now occupied by saloons in any
city or town are rentable for other
purposes, and that the capital now
invested would turn into other chan
nels and employ many more men,
while running none.
This is why the people of the
United States give the liquor traffic

given by United States Senator Nelson
w. Aldrich during his recent talks with
government officials regarding Franco.
American tariff relations. and with par
ticular reference to the Interpretation of
Section 2 of the new American tariff law,
are revealed in a book just published
NJ Cruppi, former Minister of Com
meree who favors actite French com
mercial expansion, in this book quotes
Senator Aldrich as saving that Presi-
dent Taft's Interpretation of undue dis
elimination" did not mean that France
must necessarily grant all her minimums.
but only that the treatment of Ameri-
can products must be reciprocally Just
and reasonable" and that naturally il
was expected that France would give
the United States the same treatment as
other active competitors in the matter
of French trade.
NJ. Cruppi adds that Senator A1drich's
Conciliatory assurances are extremely
welcome, but that after all France must
first consider her own interests
NJ. Cruppi contends that the policy OF
negotiation is the commercial policy of
the future, and expresses regret that the
United States in her splendid isolation
