DRUMMER GOT EVEN.

Galveston News. The liveryman

"Can you driver" he asked.
"Sure can. How much is it?"

The liveryman considered.

A 5 O'Clock the drummer return

The drummer handed the livery

The Baltimore Sun points a way
to retrenchment in the government
expenditures that would mean
something. Revise and cleanse the
pension list, 1t says. 1t Is now
forty-four years since the close of
the war, yet the pension payments
last year were the largest of any
year since the war. There are con-
siderably more than 100000 PEN
sioners, and they are costing the
people of the country nearly $780,
900 every day in the year There
are abundant reasons for thinking
that the pension lists are burdened
with frauds, with deserters, bounty
jumpers, camp followers and other
persons who have no earthly right
to impose upon the government e
bounty. IF all Of these cases were
stricken from the rolls there would
be a tremendous saving to the gov.
eminent. But congressman dare
not attack the pensions.

Death ran an obstacle race with
Frank Mareis, at White Plans, N.
Y, the other day, and finally won.
Mareis, aged 70, was crossing a
railroad track when al engine mar
rowly missed him. Jumping out
of the way of the engine he got in
front Of carriage and was almost
under the horses when he made bis
next jump. That carried him on
a trolley track Oh which car was
bowling along at twenty miles an
hour only few feet away. Making
q flying jump he got away from
the trolley car, only to find an au-
tomobie bearing down on him and
"honkirg" to beat the band. Once
more Mareis leaped, not to safety
this time, out in front of motor
cycle, which knocked him down.
AS he fell his head struck the curb
ing and his skull was fractured
He died in al hour. Death had
him tagged, and he just couldn't
get away.

WISDOM OF THE SOUTH.

In recent issue the Financial
Chronicle declares that no portion
of the country has taken wiser
counsel of itself than the South
during the two years of depression
through which the country has
been passing. Briefly the follow
ing facts are placed to the South g
credit:
Its financial institutions have
demonstrated their capacity to
withstand q straip.
"The South mas begun to recover
from some of the mistakes of ex-
treme legislation relating to rail-
roads.
Southern manufactures have
been building almost regardless of
the temporary check on manufac.
turing enterprises.
Southern agriculture is on a Sc
curer financial foundation than
ever before. There are still COM
paratively few farmers who are
rich, but there are many who are
we'll to do
To which the Columbus Ledger
adds:
THAT is a conservative state
ment of the condition in which the
South finds itself this spring. We
are not enjoying boom, but do
not want one and will not permit
one; but we are on a firm, solid
basis. Improvement is manifest
all over the South, and we look
forward to better and bigger things
for our people, industry and bust
ness. When the New York Finan-
'ial Chronicle begins throwing
bouquets at us, we may know that |
our situation is strong"

What's this? Whiskey not an
antidote for rattlesnake bite I
That is what Dr. Marshall, profess
sor of toxicOlogy at the University
of Pennsylvania, says. Moreover,
he declares that there is no cure
for rattlesnake poison, if enough
of the venom Is injected into the
blood to cause death. He says that
in the vast majority of cases the
snake does not inject enough poi
son to do serious harm, but the
bitten person may be frightened
to death by the bite. The only
good whiskey does, according to
the doctor, ia to put little Dutch
courage" into the victim and thus
reduce the degree of the fright un.
til the system has had time to neg.
alive the venom.

ALCOHOL FROM SAMDUST.

Manufacturers Record, April %, 1907
Manufacture of ethyl alcohol
from sawdust is the rather start
ling prospect presented on another
page of this weeks issue of the
Manufacturers Record, by G. U.
Borde, an engineer of New Orleans,
who is now designing two plants,
one for the state of Washington
and one for Ontario, Canada, to
enter upon the process. In an ar
ticle on the saving of waste of all
kinds IN lumber operations and
the utilization to the full of ali
material, Mr.. Borde tells of his re-
cent visit to France, where the in
dustry Is upon commercial basis
and where he had opportunity to
make experiments in it himself.
The results of his experiments may
be condensed as follows:
From every 5000 pounds of
green sawdust, equivalent to one
long ton of theoretically dry wood ,
he obtained 214 gallons of 188-
degree-proof alcohol, equivalent
to 1886 gallons of proof alcohol /;
76 pounds of acetic acid, and
three-quarters of ton of a refuse,
which the English and French are
manufacturing into stock food.
Because of the lncompletlon of the
plant where the test was made by
Mr.. Borde, the best results were
not obtained. He estimates that
from every 5000 pounds of green
sawdust, one may obtain, at cost
CT 81, 30 gallons of 188-degree al
cohol worth $12, rs pounds OF
acetic acid worth $4.56, three.
quarters of a ton of stock food
worth $17.25, or a total of $33 81
a net profit of $26.81.
When one considers the millions
of tons of sawdust and other waste
of the lumber industry that i:
burned to get it out Of the way
this opportunity for wealth il
waste through the derivation Of
alcohol and other valuable pro
ducts, opens up prospect posi-
bly, not even equaled by that which
