The late William II. Smith of man

The captain Of the boat, who was
an intimate friend of each. suggested
that tho voyagers lay In cargo of

there. Tho "Murphys" were accord
ingly purchased and placed on board.
Now, Mr.. Backus was always recog-
nized as a great comedian, but with
the deck of a ship instead of a stage
as his rpstrum no wasn't so funny.
In short, Mr. Backus was seasick.

THERE'S A REASON,

Scientific investigation has demon
lstrated that the drinking OF glass OF
wine or beer lowers mans muscu-
lar efficiency for "a hours about 8
per cent Three glasses a day regu-
larly is cumulative in its effect. In
~ days ordinary muscular efficiency
goes down % per cent in the average,
and mental activity so per cent This,
observe, is the result Of the use of the
"milder drinks" beer and wine, not
of whisky. There is good business
reason, we see, for the elimination Of
the drinking employe by railroad COM
panies and industrial corporations.
There is a common-sense reason for
the order of the secretary OF the
navy banishing the officers wine
mess. There is every reason-scien-
tific, economic, moral-for the aboli-
ton of the liquor traffic throughout
these United States and all territories
subject to the jurisdiction thereof.

Dissatisfied with the management
of thei affairs of the Sullivan Saddle

which y. NJ. Hays of st. Louis is pres
ident, Henry Ruwart of jefferson City,
stakeholder, has filed a petition in
the circuit court of Cole county, ask
ing for the appointment of a receiver.
Ruwart wants the court to compel
W H. Mare, vice-president, and Paul
Shalenberger, treasurer, to refund
10000, which he alleges each has re-
ceiyed in salaries in the last two
years. These salaries, he contends,
were excessive.
The petition alleges that Hays and
the board loaned money of the COM
pany to finance saddletree plants at
Omaha, Neb., Madison, Ind, Fulton,
Ky, Jacksonville, Ind, and Pueblo,
Colo.
This, Ruwart alleges, was IA plan of
Hays to stife competition in the man

The Sullivan Saddletree company
was organized in 1900 and its output
is said to be larger than that of any
other similar concern in the world
