Prohibition oily.

EN.Goy. Hoard.
A few years ago a barley store house
in Milwaukee, was partially burned and
the barley contained therein was injur-
ed to the extent of being worthless for
brewing purposes. The brewing com
pany that owned the building, offered
the injured grain to the milk farmers if
they would haul it away, as feed for
their cows, which they did.
This incident was seized upon by a
prohibition orator in one of the Milwau-
kee churches one evening, as another
proof of the terrible ravages Of the
drink habit. He declared that the farm
ers would feed this grain to their cows
and thus the milk would be tinctured
with the accursed alcohol and thousands
Of children would acquire an appetite
for the poison.
A lady who heard this talk tells us
that this mass Of rank idiocy was swal-
lowed by the audience as a veritable
fact and there was no person present
who disputed it. 1t illustrates well, how
ever, the stuff that is often crowded
down good peoples throats by such

How Can The Farmer Live?

An exchange asks: How can a poor
farmer man have a merry time when
he has nothing to live in but big house,
nothing to shelter his horses but warm
barn, nothing to eat except everything
that grows out of the ground, or can be
bought at the store, no way to get his
mail except having it brought to him
every day by smiling mail carrier who
will soon be wearing Uncle Sans uni

to get to town but with a rubber tired
buggy or an auto, no way to make mon

have his farm double in price once in

OURSELVES AND OTHER FOLKS
Dissertation on the Subject Of Man

A manner is a mode Of action anC

arate bin. If he possess more than
one, he has manners, which is diff

him aside into class all by himself
and uniting him to mix comfortably
with nine and one-half tenths of the
people he meets.
Manners are divided into two kinds
good and bad manners; the former
being almost obsolete, and the latter
being often mistaken for no manners
at all. 1t is troublesome to keep up
manners as a constant thing--eyeu
bad ones-therefore, most people now.
adays find it more convenient to have
no manners at all, although, as stated
above, each one necessarily has a man.
ner of his own.
II used to be considered wise 10
teach manners to the young, good
manners being always selected for
that purpose: but other topics have
crowded this old fashioned branch
from the curriculum, and the children
OF the present generation are spared
the humiliation Of being thus made
different from those about them.
\ mannerism is a manner that is
peculiar; and while most of US are ig-
n1rant of possessing any ourselves.
We take the keenest interest in those
OF our neighbors
Even though a person has a manner

can always discover whether he has
or not by close observation of his
