ALCOHOL A pECEIVER.

DR.. David Starr Jordan tells the fol-
lowing story:
There was once man who came
Into his office smacking his lips, and
said to his clerk The world looks
very different to the man who has
had good glass of brandy and soda
in the morning" Yes" said the
clerk. and the man looks differently to
the world" And this is natural and
inevitable, DR.. Jordan points out. for
the pleasure which exists only in the
imagination leads to action which has
likewise nothing to do with the de-
mand of life. The mind is confused
and may be delighted with the confu-
sion, but the confused muscles trem
pie and halt. The tongue Is loosened
and utters unfinished sentences; the
hand Is loosened and the handwriting
is shaky; the muscles OF the eye are
Embarrassed, and the two eyes move
Independently and see double; the legs
are loosened, and the confusion OF the
brain shows itself In the confused walk
And II this confusion is long contin-
ued, the mental deterioration shows It
self in external things-the shabby
hat and seedy clothing, and the grad
ual drop Of the man from stratum to
stratum of society. till he brings up
some night in a ditch AS the world
looks more and more different to him,
so does he look more and more differ
ent to the world"

Put Salesman on Riaht Path.

Jones, a Boston manufacturer, en-
ployed Hobbs as a salesman. Hobbs
was a hustler who brought business
when he worked, but who had habit
of sacrificing two or three days a
month getting drunk and SOLDERING up
directly after getting his pay. He was
always in debt. One day Jones called
Hobbs in and said that he would
keep him In his employ only on one
condition. What's that?" asked
Hobbs. Its this said Jones. Every
week | shall take SIS of your pay and
put it aside. Every month | shall de-
post the money in a cooperative
bank You are not to touch that
money as long as you remain unmar-
ried and work for me-" But my debts
how can ! spare" Pay 'em some
how-and let me see that handbook
every month" That was all--no lee
ture on the evils of drinking, no
aphorisms. The other day Hobbs
brought the handbook to Jones and
showed $500 on deposit. And his only
comment was: And didn't even get
thirsty when l look at it.

DOCTORS AGAINST ALCOHOL

When that great conclave OF doc
tors took place at Brighton, England,
under the auspices OF the British Med.
ical association, advantage was taken
OF the presence Of so many medical
men in attendance to get nearly forty
anti-alcohol addresses delivered on
the Sunday In Brighton and adjoining
towns. The subject was Evils of Al

the particularly interesting thing was
to see so many physicians in pulpits
and on the platforms evidently will.

Without word the wag stole quick

Then he stole a look over his shout
der and saw the wag standing, hat
in hand, apparently talking to some
one inside the car.
"Yhank you, yes; good-day," said
the wag, and bowed himself gracefully
away from the door, turning as he did
so to look at the chauffeur and say
"Home,'
Yes, sir" Honk honk. and off went

Some malicious person is RESPONSE
BILE for the poisoning Monday of a valu-
able dog, Budweiser, owned by Earl
David. The dog came home sick yes
terday and shortly after died, although
a veterinary surgeon was Immediately
summoned to administer treatment
Mr.. David's dog was recognized by dog
fanciers as one of the best examples of
the Pit Bull breed. He was noted for
his peculiar markings of snow white
across the back. For long time dog
breeders could not get a strain in
which the white markings were not of
a yellowish cast. Mr.. David's dog was
of the valuable type that has saddle
of pure white across the back. This
breed of dog is not vicious or danger
GUS in the slightest degree. They have
good dispositions, are faithful to their
and generally kind; so that
the motive of the poisoning is far to
seek. Mr.. David does not know of any
person who had reason to fear the
dog or to desire his death. He says
that he has never owned 80 compan-
onable and faithful asdog. He valued |
he dog at not less than hundred dol
ars.
