upon Mr.. Langrldge.
On returning home Mr.. Langridge
resumed the care and bringing up of
his little family. every member of
whom grew to the good. The kind
mother who by nature was the gentle
helpmate. lived long enough for the
children to be grown to self-care.
and though scattered widely apart
over the broad continent, every one
is true to the endowment that makes
good citizens and perpetuates family
standing and independence.
Since Mrs Langridge's death, some
years ago. Mr.. Langridge has not
been in pursuit Of business He
retained his home in Lancaster but

what was going on in politics and of
the news abroad He was a good
American but he never lost love for
his native England, and though a
Republican, be was not a tariff pro-
tectionist.
He was a good citizen and the
friend of people and causes that he
believed good. In an intelligent
crowd he was also a fair social en- :
tertainer. He believed in the equality
Of all men. His death is loss to the
community.

In selling their children the Japan

Washington, Feb. 5.-When Uncle
Sam rounds the corner of the fiscal
half year and finds himself face to
face with the startling figures of his
tobacco and whisky consumption
during that period, he is likely to col
lapse with amazement.
If the cigarets he has smoked in
six months could be laid end to end
to serve as rails, they would make
over $4,000 miles of double track! At
the rate of his consumption of cigars
during that time, in year he would
have smoked enough of them to
make a string clear to the moon and
nearly back again!
And as for whisky, in six months
Uncle Sam has absorbed 100000
gallons OF that variety of beverage
alone, For these three items, accord
ing to the report of the internal reve-
nue. bureau just published, total of
over $176, 100000 was paid.
