Judge Reilly and Prohibition

Judge Kelley, in his candidacy
for governor delivers beautlfu
% minute oratiou on temperance.
In fact, it brings tears to the
peoples eyes as he portray S the
many hardships that are brought
on by this cussed stuff. If a
man would listen to Reily-es-
peciaIly to the part of his speech
in this campaign. he would ina
glne he was a temperance lectur-
er, but upon thorough investiga-
ton, he would be found to be
more cr less than d mere d~m"-

respect to the gentleman, but We
mean every word we say, as no

After piling up a stack Of letters

after whole families Of the original
claimants have died, the United
States is about to pay a claim Of
$64,5O0 to the Lower Chinook In
ington, near the mouth Of the Co
lumbia river.
According to Representative Albert
Johnson, Of Washington, this claim Of
the Chinooks against the United
States was always a plain claim, and
yet it 63 years, four sets Of law
yers and interchangeable labors to set
tie it. According to Mr.. johnson, the
United States agreed to give the
land they had previous to 1851. The
Chinooks agreed, but later accepted
an offer Of money instead Of lard.
That was in 1851. One whole sub
tribe Of the Chinooks has died out
since hat time and none of them ever
got any Of the money, althou; the
United States got their lands.
Says Representative Johnson: The
old chiefs are zone, their children are
nearly all dead, and in most cases the
money goes in small amounts to their
grandchildren.

gard to these claims makes a stack OF

SNAKES ON THE DINNER TABLE.

A score of writhing snakes. one of
them more than 5 fee, long, created
terror among a quantity of supper
guests last night at Cafe L'Aigloh,
Fifteenth and Chestnut streets. The
occasion was a snake" dinner, given
for DR.. Raymond L. Ditmars, curator
of the Bronx Zoo, who this week is
delivering a series of motion picture
lectures at h Academy Of Music.
The snakes were placed upon the din
ner table in glass receptacles from
which they could easily have escaped.
When they appeared, several women
at nearby tables, not knowing that
they were tame, hastily departed.
But the snakes were not alone
There was a large jar Of frogs and
toads of many strange varieties. thai
kept h cafe f~requenters Interested
with an undertone Of croakings. And
the center of the table was occunied
by a fern filled with chirping insects
known throughout Japan. whence
they came, as walking sticks"
The menu was arranged in kean;,
with h decorations. There were -
course, cells and frogs legs. Tier
was a Bronx Zoe salad" which Va

The Tanqerine.


 When the tange4ine orange was first introduced into China, 1t was so highly esteemed that it was given as a gift to the mandarins, and hence became known as the mandarin or ange. Our tangerine is simply a descendant of the ancient mandarin orange.
 In the last few years there seems to have been a falling off in the popu larity of these dainty, little glove or anges, as they used to be called. Pos sibly it is because the modern navel orange, with its sweetness and de lightful flavor. Is so plentiful.
 Even so, the appetizing little tanger- inc ought to have bigger place than it has at present. It would seem that the very fact that the tangerine skin peels off so readily would insure it's popularity. But there are fashions in food, as well as in clothes, and the wheel of fashion revolves from time to time. Perhaps when bustles are la again the tangerine will be daily visitor to our tables.

HIS PERIOD OF ENJOYMENT
Farmer Surely Had Earned Rest, But He Waited Just a Little
 Bit Too Long.

Once there lived a farmer who worked so hard he was too tired to go to church on Sunday, says Frank Tel. ford in Farm and Preside. His hired men refused to stand for the first and last call to breakfast at 3:45 in the morning and left before the end of the week. His wife milked the cows and hood the garden because help was so hard to keep. The farm CT voted against hard roads, and when he was elected to the school board hired for teacher young girl just out of high school, because she would take the job for s90 month. Tn short. he squeezed the dollars so hard the eagle screamed. He would steal acorns from blind pig.
 When the farmer was fifty he had half section of good black land in the corn belt aud money in the bank. He moved to town to enjoy a hard earned rest. But his stomach was so tired of corn bread and bacon that t went on strike and the farmer ate milk toast. He could predict a storm before the first cloud appeared. by the creaking of his joints, and he had to call for help to turn over in bed. One day his doctor said he had made enough money to buy new touring car and the farmer died of heart dis. ease

Imaginary Heart Trouble.

Do you have pains in the region of the heart? Does your heart hump? It's terrible pounding alarms you? What is wrong? Do you believe these symptoms mean heart trouble? Organic diseases of the heart very seldom occasion much pain. Nearly all of these pains are caused by some derangement of the stomach. Meritol Tonic Digestive is especially recommended for indiges- tion and dyspepsia, and for restor- ing the stomach to it's normal func- tions and--no more "heart disease"

FORGED TO HEAR SERMON
No One Was Allowed to "Take a Few Winks" In English Churches
 300 Years Ago.

Those who have a habit of sleep ing through the minister's sermon should thank their stars that they were not living in England 300 years ago, for they would have been rapped over the head every time they dozed by men especially appointed to the task of keeping the congregation awake.
 For instance, in one parish in Shropshire, 25 shillings a year was regularly paid to a poor man to go about the church during the sermon and keep the people awake. He car ried thin, long wand In his hand, which he could conveniently stretch out over considerable space and rap offenders on the head or about the shoulders.
 With women he was always in- structed to be gentler, to tap softly, but consistently, until the slumber was broken. For women, it was learned, were not so amiable as men on being aroused from a comfortable nap, and, if gentle means were not employed, were likely to get up and leave. causing no little commotion about them.
