The Plumbers Revenge.

Flufnoer8 Revenge.
Severe frost had burst some pipes In
a London mansion, so that a plumber
had to be called in. The plumber was
shown round by the coachman, but as
soon as he commenced work an off,
cious butler kept close watch over him.
He didn't like this treatment and de-
termined to play a trick on the butler.
In a bathroom he found a badly
cracked pipe, and after cutting out the
Ice he quickly popped his thumb over
the hole.
Here. mate" he said, turning to the
butler, hold yer thumb over this hole
while I fetch my soderin' iron. Don't
shift or there'll be a food"
An hour went by, but the plumber
had not returned. Then the butler
called a servant who was passing and
told her to find the plumber and fetch
him up. She found him enjoying lunch
In the kitchen.
"The butler wants to know when
you're going to release him." she said.

The movement toward smallel

The movement toward smaller
and more intensive farming is
noticed throughout the West.
The prairies are cut into smaller
holdings and vast ranges have
been dividedint modest ranches
of a quaater section or so, and
these again have been split into
"%eighties" and "fourties" and
twenties." This resembles a
tendency in France to "return to
the land" which manifests itself
in a desire to own ground. The
immigrant peasant from Europe
has brought to this country his
Old World knowledge of 'intens-
iye'' farming. H e has forced
our Federal government to OBJ
serve and Encourage his methods;
he has taught the American far
mer that he can get more profit
out of a few acres of land eco
nomically titled than out Of a
square mile of meadow.

The Price Of Drink.

-.NEE #t@A..5s. ~. ..-A ..H. "...H# "a.
It hasn't been many months since
McClure's Magazine produced arti-
cles written by Prof. M~unsterburg,
which were a cry against total absti-
nence. Moderate drinking was essen
tial to the w~ellbeing OF the nation,
declared this Harvard man, who is
old enough to know better.
These articles were followed by
others from we'll known scientific
writer's, proving by practical expert
ment, beyond reasonable doubt, that
even moderate drinking is damaging
to mans efficiency, not to mention
a needless drain on his purse. Those
articles showed by physiological ex-
periments what every man can see for
himself if he would; that drinking is a
curse to any man who follows it. The
same magazine for August containes
the interesting "Story of an Alcohol
Slave" as told by himself. A note
from the editor says the article was
investigated, and, as nearly as posi-
BILE, proved to be true. The only
doubtful feature is the sum of money
expended, and that is reasonable. In
thirty years, from 1878 to 1898, this
man actually spent 81, 1854 for liquor
and other incidentals of the saloon.
Being an accountant, he kept ar &C
count of this. The Slave also lost a
position paying him 5000 a month.
And, as it was a lifetime job, had he
behaved, and he lever got another as
good, he figures his loss in salary at
about $50, 900. The total expense of
his habit, figured at a moderate inter-
est, and taking no account of promo
tions that might have come. is $751;
900 for thirty years. To this, he adds
the humiliation of the loss of twenty
five jobs in nineteen years, and sew
eral prison experiences, also humil-
iating. This Slave began drinking at
IA years of age, and, in his thirty
years. experience in saloons, he never
!, saw but one bartender refuse to sell a
boy liquor. That one made such an
impression on him that he kept his
name and place Of residence Assum-
ing that the account is reasonably &C
%curate, the price of moderate drink
ing" is something no boy or man can
afford.-Ex.

What to Do When Broke.

A man who was always looking for
quick ways to make money after read
ing an alluring advertisement decided
to invest in a sure system for beating
the races. He sent his money to New
York and received by return mail an,
elaborate set Of instructions how to
bet, with a certain capital, to bring
about the utter annihilation Of the
bookmakers and get for himself all the
money at the track. He followed the
system carefully, losing, It is scarcely
necessary to state. all his money.
Then, dtsheartened, but not discour-
aged and still retaining faith, he wired
to the men who sold him the system:
II have followed your system carefully
and am broke. How shall ! act now7''
A few hours later he received this
reply, "Act like you are broke."-sat.
