THE woRK1NGMAN,s CLUB.

Inc gifted orators and writers who
are arguing in behalf of the brewers
ana their business, are fond of de-
scrlplng the saloon as "the working
mans ciub,' a nice, domestic place,
Wnere the horny-handed laborer
may mlngle with his peers and dis
cuss the theses of Jerome, while quaf-
ing the ambrosial fluid that leaves
MIN saGder budweiser man.
The picture of the workingman' s
club is SO beautifully drawn. by these
expert word artists that one is oc-
casionally moved to tears by it. The
Work1ngman is outlined as a heroic
put unappreciated man, who is bar
req from the stately clubrooms of the
wealthy, and who, without his privi1-
eye OF ioafing in the saloon a few
hours every evening, would be lost
lnoeeo. 1t is surprising and disheart-
enlng that this affecting picture does
not appeal to John B. Lehman as 1T
should. Mr. Lehman is treasurer of
the American Federation of Labor,
and possesses the highest influence
In the councils of that Organization.
Being constantly in close touch with
the labor1ng men, it might be sup
posed that he would recognize the
peautles OF beer before retiring. in
order that he might awake in the
morning with headache and star
spangled taste in his mouth.
But, in a speech at Kansas City.
Kan, Mr.. Lehman held that the sa-
loon is the curse of labor, that it is
responsible for nearly all the ills OF
which the horny handed ones COM
plain. It disturbs and breaks up the
family relations which are necessary
to domestic happiness, it deprives the
children Of the care and education to
which they are entitled. it forces wo-
men into the factory, it is largely re-
sponsible for the employment of child
labor Mr.. Lennans talk was of the
heart-to-heart description, entirely
devoid of ornaments, appealing to the
common sense of his hearers, and il
made a great hit.
OF all the talk advanced by the
brewery writers and orators, this OF
the Workingman's Club is the silliest
Beer is not necessary to any man, and
least of all to one who has manual
labor to perform and club is not
| necessary to any man, so long as there
Is a home to go to; and it is better In
every way to read q book or maya
| zine at home than to spend time and
money in saloon, no matter how
| homelike that saloon may be, and re-
CARELESS of the amiable qualities OF
| the bartender.
Mr.. Lehman is doing great work
and deserves applause. The tollers
will listen to him and believe hin

! snare.-Emporia Gazette.

a Hero of Peace.


Nature revenges herself upon her
masters. The surgeon who devised
the operation for appendicitis passes
away from the same disease. Tho
city of Guayaquil, the port of Ecua-
dor. is probably one of the most dam
gerous yellow fever districts in the
world. DR.. William .Wrightman, an
expert on yellow fever, was especial
~ detailed there to sign bills of
health for vessels sailing to United
States ports. This responsible duty
made DIR. Wrightman practically the
protector of the United States from
yellow fever invasion. 1t is a duty
that requires constant indifference to
contagion. Every hour of his life
was fraught with deadly peril.
At last the plague he fought turned
and rent him after a five days battle.
SO there passed away another hero of
peace, a sentinel of danger, whom the
country grieves to honor only in plac-
ing the wreath of appreciation upon
his grave.-Boston Post.
Tornado's Terrific Force.
Each day brings to light some new
freak of the tornado which caused
death and destruction in this part of
the state a few days ago.
As an evidence of the freakish force
OF the wind a big pine tree and a large
plank on the property of the Hon. s. n.
Roberts, about IL miles from here, are
now joined as If done by an expert car
penter.
Although the tree was a large one.
the plank was picked up and driven
through the center as neatly as if shot
from a gun. Not only was the plank
shot through the tree, but it went
through without tearing the tree.
The plank was picked up in the yard
of Mr. Roberts sawnill, and other
pIanks in the pile were not molested
by the wind. So singular does Mr.. Rob-
nado that he has posted q notice telling
big pine. and ordering that it shall not
be cut downzAtlanta Georgian.
Ate a Chick With Big Eyes.
A trainman is telling an incident that
occurred on a Mohawk & Malone train
up in the woods the other day. The
train was standing on a siding waiting
the arrival and passing of another train
when an Italian walked through the
coach. his hands crossed on his stom-
ach and his head wagging from side to
side in a doIeful manner.
whats the matter. John? some one
| inquired
sOh. me sick-Ine sick as dev," re-
nlied the man. rolling his head still
more distressingly and continuing the
rubbing of his stomach.
ssSick?? Well, what you been eating
asked the sympathetic passenger
ssEata de chick with big eyes, re-
sponded John, as his groans increas-
ed.
John had killed an owl the night be-
fore, and it didn't agree with him.

No Rest Upon the Ocean.

There was a time when nerve special
lists prescribed a trip to Europe in or
der to calm down their patients, That
time has gone by. The madness for
record" and speed; the mania for
bridge, poker. and gambling on the days
run; the necessity for making differ
ent toilet three times in the day; The
wireless, with it's relentless pursuit: the
department store; the afternoon vaude-
vile and the evening concert-all these
and many more excitements on our
modern leviathans make ocean travel
a cross between five days at Palm
Beach and Monte Carlo
There is popular demand for the
old-fashioned steamer that will take
ten days for the passage to Europe:
that will give one time to enjoy ones
self and get the benefit of the sea after
the almost inevitable sickness; that will
have simple but not luxurious food; that
will not permit gambling, and upon
which the wireless is not used except
in case Of accident or necessity. There
are thousands of victims of our neurotio
times who would welcome a real sea
voyage instead of a fake ferry trip

Brightest Bow i'm world.

DAAShtCSb DOy tfOEAus
A lad who has been termed the
brightest boy in the world will grad
uate this month from Tufts college. His
name is Norbert Wiener, and he is the
son of Prof. Leo Wiener, of Harvard
university.
1umbia, Mo. November &c, 1894. He
Will graduate in his fourteenth year,
having COMPLETED the regular four-year
course in three years, receiving the de-
gree of bachelor of arts and covering
work equal to the amount usually COM
pIeted by a candidate for degree of
doctor of philosophy. Needless to say,
he is the first student of IA to be grad
uated from Tufts.
Norbert Wiener at the age of was
fitted for college in mathematics,
philosophy, and modern languages
Three years prepared him for college
entry. When he entered Tufts in 1906
he had gone farther in chemistry and
philosophy than the average senior.
He resides with his father and moth
er at IL Bellevue street, Medford, Mass,
at the foot of Tufts college hill.
Aside from the fact that Norbert
W1ener's capacity for learning is phe-
nomenal, he is as other boys. He is
tall, of Russian descent on his father
side, a good tennis player, and a SPLEEN
did swimmer. His intense black eyes
are his most striking feature
This autumn he will enter the Har-
ward graduate school, taking course
in higher mathematics CHS favorite
study and supplementary biology OF
chemistry. After receiving the doctors
degree at II, he will spend two or three
years in France and Germany devotine
himself to philosophy. Thus, at an age
when the average boy has still two
years work ahead for his bachelors
degree, young Wiener will be doing ad-
vanced work among men three times
his age in a German university.-Bos-
ton dispatch to the New York Times.

ship landed bearing the usual number Of
women passengers fresh from the Paris
modistes.
When they presented themselves for ex-
animation it was found that there were
