It told you how 1 wore myself out

amount I had to spend. You know how
you went on when I asked you for

we knew. So I was driven to all sorts
of subterfuges. I sent many OF the
presents I received last year. and gave
away all the handkerchiefs cousin
Alice brought me from Paris. I said
nothing about any of this to you, be-
cause you could not understand why
the few dollars you had given me
should not buy presents for all your
family and mine.
"And above ali I dreaded Carries

kind of business where they only take

He rushed back to earth and appear

The terrified sons ran 20 the tomb
and taking the gold from their fathers

Now I have change" cried the rich
man approaching the man behind the
counter once more. Give me some
thing to eat, I am dying with hunger"
You must pay in advance" the man
replied.
Here you are" yelled the rich man
and threw a handful of nickels on the
counter.
The man behind the counter looked
at the money and said with smile:
L see you have not learned much
while you were down below. Here we
do not accept the money you own. but
only what you have given away. Search
your memory well. Perhaps you have
sometime given a beggar nickel or
helped a poor man. For every cent you
have spent that way on earth you may
buy food up here"
The rich man lowered his. eyes and
thought long and hard
But no-never in his life had he
helped poor man, never had he given
aims to beggar.
And the two walters threw him out
again.

HE growth of the temperance SEN
timent throughout the country
has given rise to a class of artful
dodgers whose business in life is to
furnish the means for thirsty folk to
dodge the law Some men are natural
~ bound to have drink stronger than
water, no matter what the statutes to
the contrary may be. Just as natural
~ there are others with perverse minds
who will serve them at any cost. They
become component parts of system
to prevent prohibition and the result
ant schemes are often amusing as well
as refreshing to the thirsty.
A perfectly moral but very dry
northern drummer was in prohibition
city in the south not long since when
a great craving come over him for
strong drink. 1t was a wicked impulse
and it was Sunday, but he regarded
neither of these details. He was hay-

The moral northerner waited half an
hour, saw no signs of his messenger,
picked up the shoe box and inside
found pint of very bad whisky.
An OkIahOma Trick.
Some Oklahoma officers had an old,
but useful trick sprung on them when
they tried to locate a blind tiger in
their town. They caught frequent
whiffs of alcoholic breath but could
find no trace of the dispensers. One
day they took a chance and raided a
room from which emerged numerous
genial persons who had no special rea-
son for going there. The officers found
nothing but bare apartment with the
gas turned low. The raiders tried to
raise the light, turned the gas cock the
wrong way and a stream of liquor
poured onto the floor The keg which
furnished the stream was craftily con-
cealed between the ceiling and the room
above.
Even penitentiaries have not been
proof against the activities of the illic-
il distiller. A prisoner in a northern
penitentiary some years ago was max
ing poor but effective whisky in mis-
cell when he received in a careless
moment a spurious half dollar in re-
turn for some of his output He COM
planned 70 the keepers that he had
been getting bad money, the counter
feiter was traced, and he in return
betrayed the striped bootlegger. Both

liquor was carried in a pipe around

Idleness in women is the parent of ex-

Then, don't stop your love making

men do. This is why there are so many
disgruntled wives in the world. Never

EMPLOYEES
HAVE BANQUET

The Postoffice Employees Associa-
ton of Salem held a convention and
banquet Saturday night at the feder-
al building in this city. The occasion
was a delightful one, and the gather
ing was to benefit the local Service
and promote more sociability among
the men and women who work for
Uncle Sam. P. Holm, of Portland,
and representatives of other civil SER
vice organizations were present, and
a number of speeches were made for
the good of the noble order of mail
carriers. Support is given the Ham
nell bill, that is now before con-
gress to provide for the retirement
Of postal employees at the age of 60,
or after 80 years service. The retired
employees are to receive half pay. By
the terms of the bill men who retire
before they are so will get some sup
port after they reach 60, and men
drawing from $500 to $1,000 per year
at the age of so are to be retired for
younger men at 5000 per year. 1t is
expected that the retirement policy
will improve the service, and be al
most self-sustaining, after it is once
in good running order.

Good sized audiences greeted the
evangelist at both morning and even
ing services, in spite of the stormy
day. Rev Plumer preached two
strong sermons, which were appre-
clated. The mems meeting in the af-
ternoon proved an inspiration to the
men of the church, many of whom
expressed desire for similar meet
ings to be held often. During the
day several were at the altar, pray
ing through into the light, The
meetings continue during the week,
each evening at 1880, excepting Sat
