The above lad of a Kentucky whis-
ky is a garbled form of the famous
letter sent by Ingersoll with cask OF
whisky to a friend The friends re-
ply is as follows:
My dear Bob: l return to you some
of the most wonderful whisky that
ever brought a skeleton into the closet
or painted scenes of lust and blood
shed in the brain of man. 1t is the
ghost of wheat and corn, crazed by
the loss of their natural bodies. In it
you will find a transient sunshine
chased by a shadow as cold as an Arc
tic midnight, in which the breath of
June grows icy, and the carol of the
lark gives place to the foreboding cry
of the raven. Drink it and you shall
have "woe," sorrow" 'babbling" and
wounds without cause" "Your eyes
shall behold strange women" and
your heart shall utter perverse
things Drink it deep and you shall
hear the voice of demons shrieking,
women wailing and worse than or
phaned children mourning the loss OF
a father who yet lives. Drink it deep
and long and serpents will hiss In
your ears, coil themselves about your
neck and seize you with their fangs.
At last it "biteth like serpent and
stingeth like an adder" For forty
years this liquid death has been con-
fined within slaves of oak, harmless
there as purest water. I send it to you
that you many put an enemy in your
mouth to steal away your brains" and
vet l call myself your friend.

ROUNDED UP AT RANDOM.
Why Men Leap OFF the Wagon.


The most wonderful whisky that
ever drove the skeleton from feast
or painted landscapes in the brain Of
man. 1t is the mingled souls of corn
and wheat. In it you will find the
sunshine and the shadow that chased
each other over the billowy fields; the
breath of June; the carol of the lark;
the dews of night; the wealth of sum-
mer; and autumn's rich cOntent-all
golden with prismed light Drink it
and you will hear the voices of men
and maidens singing the Harvest
Home" mingled with the laughter of
children. Drink it, and you will feel
within your blood the starlit dawn,
the dreamy, tawny dusks Of many per-
feet days. For many years this liquid
JOY has been confined within the hap
by slaves of oak, to touch the lips of
man.
Yours for $500, $500 and $500 per
gallon.

FORM THE READING HABIT.
You Can Live Without 1t, But Not
Nearly So Well.
(H Arlington Bruce in Philadelphia
Bulletin.)

(H Arlington Bruce in Philadelphia
Bulletin.)
There are a good many men who
get through life toleraby we'll with out
ever acquiring the reading habit.
There is not one of these men who
gets out of life all he should.
Reading is as necessary to the prop
er development of the mind as food
is to the body Indeed, reading has
a beneficial effect on the body as well
as on the mind.
Show me a man who is not fond of
reading, and it is more than an even
chance that you are showing me
man whose nerves are more or less on
the edge and who dissipates his ener
gies in various ways.
For such a man is pretty sure to be
sadly lacking in inner resources. In
his leisure hours he has within him
self little to fall back on.
He cannot be content with sitting
still and twiddling his thumbs. His
mind rightly Graves diversion, and the
likelihood is, he will find it in forms
not always compatible to health.
If there were more book lovers in
the world today there would be fewer
gamblers, dipsomaniacs and nervous
wrecks. There would, in fact, be few
er criminals and suicides.
Also the general level of efficiency
as well as happiness would be raised.
For the reading habit, provided the
right kind of books are read, has this
popularity:
1t not only helps man to occupy
his time pleasurably when away from
his work. 1t also enlarges his mental
powers for the better performance of
his daily tasks.
Whatever makes a man really work
makes his mind grow. Mental growth,
through exercise of the thinking fac
ulty, should continue to the end Of life.
And there is nothing like reading
the right kind of reading-to make a
man think.
The wrong kind of reading, to be
sure, is mentally weakening, if allow
ed to become habitual. Novels and
stories that make no demand what
ever on the intellect are in the nature
of narcotics. Like narcotics they
should be used sparingly.
When a man has been working un-
usually hard, when he is feeling men
tally exhausted, a cheap detective of
adventure novel will do him no harm.
Many great men have testified to the
value of this type of novel as rest
bringer
But these same great men, it will be
noticed, do not confine their reading
to cheap styles.
They read other books, mostly the
best books that are to be found in
literature.
They are addicted to the works of
the worlds foremost novelists, to po-
etry, to essays, to history, to biogra-
ply, to works of science. They have
the reading habit more than most
other men.
Usually too, they have developed the
reading habit in childhood. That is
the time when it is most easily and
thoroughly acquired. But is never too
late for one to acquire it.
And, when once acquired, it will
prove itself one of the best assets a
man can have. OF this you need feel
no doubt at all.
