GOOD ADVICE.

A traveller entered an inn where q
Quaker sat by the fire. Lifting a pair
of green spectacles and rubbing his
eyes, which looked very infiamed, the
newcomer in one breath called for
some brandy and made grievous
complaint about his eyes.
"They are getting weaker and weak
err he said. "And now even the spec
tacles appear to do no good"
The Quaker looked first at him and
than at the brandy.
II tell thee, friend, what I think"
said he. IF thou wouldst wear thy
spectacles over thy mouth for few
months thine eyes would get well
again."

WAGES WENT For FOOD.

"There are a good many foreigners
in Denver" says Ellis Meredith in the
Union Signal, ''and there is a little
Methodist mission at one end of the
Italian colony. For several years past
they have fed the school children at

they averaged close to hundred daily,
and last winter 1t varied from 40 to
Soup to the second week in January.
After the first dry payday the chill
dren didn't come any more, or only a
very few Of them. They had food at
home. That is the kind Of argument
for prohibition that seems unanswer-
able to me-"
