If You Must Drink.

To a married man who cannot
get along without his drinks, the
following is suggested as a solu-
ton to the bondage of his habit.
First-Start a saloon in your
own house.
Second-Be the only customer.
You will have no license to pay.
Give your wife So to buy a gallon
Of whiskey, and remember there
are SO drinks in one gallon.
Third-Buy your drinks from
no one but your wife, and by the
time the first gallon is gone, she
will have $7.25 to put in the bank
and So to start business again.
Fourth-Should you live ten
years and continue to buy booze
from her, and then die with
snakes in your boots, she will have
money to bury you decently, ed.
ucate your children. buy a house
and lot. marry a decentman, and
quit thinking about you.

AS a Matter of Course.

Never take a blessing, no mat
ter how small, as a matter of
course. That is the chief troub-
lie with unappreciative people.
AS soon as they grow accustomed
to good thing, they cease to
count it. The friends who lavish
their love and service upon US
frequently get less thanks than
some one else who simply does US
trif'ng favor. Many a boy
takes rs mothers devotion as a
matte If course Gods good
ness Ills the days and crowns the
years without kindling so much
as a spark of gratitude in tbe
hearts of some of US. Take moth
ing for granted. Do not begin
any day with the assumption that
certain blessings are yours by
right. Receive each as it comes,
as something fresh, unexpected,
undeserved. and be thankful fOl
| it.

spring Fever.

There is such a disease as
spring fever. The germ may
not be found; the scientists prob
ably know nothing about it;
There is no virus with which the
physicians can combat it. But it
is here-abroad in the land-just
the same.
The symptoms are well mark
ed. It. begins with sort of rest
lessness and itching. A fellow
who has contracted the disease is
uneasy about something's
doesn't understand what it is.
He is Disconnected, and irritable,
and wants to do nothing at all
with all his might. He is care
less, and doesn't care. His
clothes grieves him; he would
like to pull them off. The
sight of water increases the vic.
lence of the disease-in that re-
spect being something like n.y.
drophobia. Passing a show win
dow where there is fishing tackle
on display, throws him into con-
WILSON'S. His shoes hurt his
feet and he wants to go bare
footed. His socks slip down and
his underclothes slip up. Collars
choke him. Coats become bur-
densome and annoying.
AS the disease progresses, a
mans moral stamina is affected.
He can't tell the truth so readily
as in the winter time. He be-
gins lying about the fish he
caught last season, If he is late
at office, he doesn't give a plaus.
ible excuse. If he is late tc
meals he lies about the reason
for his detention. Religion slips
with the progress of spring fe.
ver-to that extent.
Like typhoid fever, spring fe
yer must run its course. The
suffering of the patient may bt
alleviated by loafing, but loafne
doesn't cure the disease, not I'M
til it has run its course. A hare
plank at a baseball game soothe'

Portable rock on a creek banl
) works wonders; but the disease
goes on and on for several week
: growing in intensity. Then, i
gradually disappears, as mystic
riously as it appeared in the be
, ginning of spring.-Dayton Dai

Mr.. Tibb.

place like this, it's quick action or no
action.
"You see. I'm on the level with you,
MIR. Tibb. You put your finger right on
the weak spot here. You've called my
hand and I'm going to let you see my
cards. But it's no fault of mine that En-
pire City hasn't got Il hundred thousand
people in it this minute. I've served up all
the stuff I've got. I've given em every
thing-curves, moist-balls. fast straight
ones. and all. I've burned the midnight
oil over this proposition, believe me. But
you've said it, Tibb--the town can't de-
liver the goods. Oh, Tibb, give me a
chance with real, bona-fde, established
town, and I'd fire the shot heard round
the world"
THERE was dim note of regret in MIR.
Stars voice as he admitted the short
comings of Empire City. There was
nothing of encouragement in it, however.
Encouragement was something Starr
had, seemingly. never known. 1t was the
inner cry of man that signs for bigger
worlds to conquer.
If we only had man like you in Box
ton, murmured Mr.. Tibb, with fast
beating heart.
He was thinking rapidly. The vague
scheme that he had been carrying for the

not explain. 1t was certain exhalation
of nervous force-something dynamic and
original, something daring, revolutionary,
unconventional. He had something that
Joel had always himself felt the lack of.
AND yet, there was also something
about Starr that put Joel Tibb quite at
ease. The town booster had sef-con-
tidence that somehow radiated itself-so
much so that when they were outside and
the town booster had asked, Frankly,
now, what do you think of Empire City,"
Joel surprised himself by replying boldly:
I'll tell you what | think, Mr.. Starr.
| think there's lot of energy going to
waste here.
Il don't know as | get you, shot back
the town booster quickly.

"there doesn't seem to be any real rea-
son for this place. 1t looks to me as if
it had been made artificially, just to
show what could be done out of
nothing"
Il get you," was the quick response.
Mr.. Starr stopped and laid his hand on
the grocer's shoulder. "Alr. Tibb, he
said, II don't boast. boost. | do

And you'd Gomez" asked MIR. Tibb,
with an eager. tremulous voice.

TT was nine o'clock in the morning of
the twentieth of February. Walter

ton that if there had been any one else
to confide in the lad would have been left
to his task, Henry, look out there.
That's BoXton. That's our speed. No
tice those oxen? Get on to their gait?
That's BoXton's gait. That's the pace
that kills. Kills town."
"Those oxen would weigh about thirty
hundred" commented Henry, who had
been reared on farm and had more real
interest in oxen than in shoes.
Mr.. Eadbrook paid no attention to the
irrelevancy. He continued in the same
ironical vein:
And if the mossbacks that are run
ming this town had their way, we'd be
burning tallow candles and going to bed
with warming-pans. It's enough to take
the heart out of a man. Go along, now,
and heat it up here. My feet are as cold
as ice.
Mr.. EADBROOK again turned his at
tention to the vacant, wind-swept
street. He was serious-looking young
man OF twenty-five or six years. Clean cut
of face and figure, his manner aud clothing
were equally rreproachabe His hair was
brushed straight back upon his head in the
European manner that had gained access
to BOXton through the example of certain
travelling statesmen from New York. An
excellent young man, people said, with
no bad habits and fine capacity for
tending to business"
A merry jangle of bells interrupted the
shoe dealers doleful reflections A pair
of fine horses shot into view and double
seated sleigh stopped in front of the door.
One of the two fur-clad occupants jumped
lightly out and ran toward the door, cry
ing in a musical voice, "About half an
hour dad"
you'd better say an hour and come
nearer the truth" replied dry, penetrat-
ing voice from the sleigh; and then the
horses tankled away.
The bundle of fur that came toward
him must have represented something
more than mere customer to the shoe
dealer, for a transient CLEAN of pleasure
took the place of the bitterness that had
been on his countenance.
Morning, Louise" he said, and
clasped the mittened hand that was ex-
tended to him. He helped the young
woman off with her heavy coat, she chat
tering gaily all the while.

"Boxton?" replied Mr.. Starr. sob,
yes; your home town. What's the popu-
lation, Tibb?"
"About two thousand" replied Tibb.
"And how many people?"
"Why, about two thousand" repeated
Mr.. Tibb wonderingly.
"YOu mean two thousand real people,
that walk around and buy food to eat and
clothes to wear"
The BoXtOn grocer nodded.
"Then the population must be at least
three thousand, was the comment of the
town booster. why. Tibb, you haven't
learned the first principles. Don't you
know that the word population has
special meaning? A town has so many
people. That's fact for you to remem-
Der. But the popMiotiom-that's some
thing for other people to remember.
How's the climate?"
Rotten" replied the grocer almost
automatically He felt like biting off his
tongue for the truthful indiscretion the
next moment. But Mr.. Starr did not
seem disturbed IN the least.
"Great advertising point, that is, said
the town booster. I'D make it almost
slogan: You can't lire on climate Come
to the Home Of Prosperity mhere business
is so good you don't hare time to think of the
,ceather. Fact is, Tibb," he went on,
"there's a lot of truth in that. I've been
boosting climate so long. it makes
me tired. I'd really enjoy some
of your rotten weather, believe.
Joel Tibb was further embold-
ened. He felt strong enough to
put the definite question.
MIR. Starr, he said, had you
ever thought of coming East
THAT is to say, would l come
to BoXton?' replied the other
man, with smile.
"That's what was in my mind.

with his native caution.

~ brisk rejoinder. "race, color, re-

the better | like it. But there's
something like better. like to

like it. And never told that young fell

j. Bradley Starr laughed softly.

booster. Every stranger is a millionaire
till he proves himself not guilty. Cakins
considers every visitor as a possible citizen
until he proves otherwise by going away.
Maybe Callins pointed out the peculiar
blueness of the sky"
NO: MIR. Voorhis did that.
Good. That's little idea of mine.
Now. own up. MIR. Tibb, didn't it look
bluer to you than any sky ever did before,

Joel Tibb cautiously.
