Of the press gallery of the House of

in large newspaper circle.
Mr. Mann was one of the kindest
men ever knew said a citizen who
was member Of the press gallery for
several years. "He had had charge of
the gallery since 1878, and, as the Assoc
ciated Press says. he probably knew
more public men than any other like
official in the United states.' He was
the friend of every correspondent who
had access to the gallery and he was par
ticularly courteous and helpful to all the

receive a special bequest of $4,000
There spoke the father heart Import
ant as he doubtless regarded the con-
tinued success of his business, he felt
deep I'm his best instincts that it n
better still to keep the feet of one
youth out of the path of danger.
Not long ago the bartenders of Chi
cago inaugurated a temperance move
ment among their number. Expert
ence had taught them that the men
for whom they worked appreciated
the value of reliability in employees.
To deal fairly by their employers and
by themselves to hold up the level OF
their worth and their wages, said the
bartender temperance advocates, let
us eschew the cup that sometimes
cheers but more often muddles and
degrades.
Why is not the post-mortem advice
of Brewer Greason to his son good
advice TO the sons of other fathers
Why should not employees in all walks
of industry find the. suggestion of the
bartenders as fitting for them to pom
der and apply? If booze impairs th'
usefulness of men behind the bar, II

worth of those in front? A habit tina
