Druu Store Latin,

In one of the southern prohibition
states a physician had occasion to or
der some whisky for patient. 1t so
happened that the whisky reached the
express office on Sunday morning. The
doctor sent for the package, and the
express agent returned the reply that
the whisky could not be delivered on
Sunday. Thereupon the doctor sent
word that the whisky was for very
sick patient and must be had at once.
The agent sent a reply that if the doc
tor would write a prescription for the
whisky he could get it. The doctor
wrote upon his prescription blank:
Sic sempcr tyrannis," and the whisky
was promptly delivered.-Medical
Journal.

together and they looked forward to
the summer months.
"As they were working they squealed
TO each other, which was their way Of
talking.
Before long when a great deal of
work had been accomplished Mr.. Black
Meadow Mole said to Mr.. Ground
Mole:
"'We should give a frolic in honor
Of the Meadow Mice
"'A good idea,' agreed Mr.. Ground
Mole.
when they told the Mice about it
they hoped and skipped about and
were very much honored.
"The frolic was arranged for the
next day, and the Moles worked hard

little longer than the noses of the
Meadow Mice, SO they succeeded in
getting a fine banquet through their
digging and burrowing.
'It was the hour of the frolic and
what time they did have! So merry
and gay and happy they were that they
couldn't even think that danger was
near.
"But soon they heard strange sounds
"a queer cry and down into their
holes they hurried. There, not far off,
they heard the sound of Mr.. Fox's
voice, followed by Mrs. Fox's, and
then the voices of the little Foxes. For
the Moles and Meadow Mice thought
the Fox family was quite too terrible
to even mention in polite society.
'They stayed very STILL they listened
and they hardly dared breathe.
"'Are they coming nearerY asked
one very nervous little Meadow Mouse
squealing sadly.
"'Hush,' said the others. we dom
want them to know we are here
"For q few moments more the Mics
and Moles were trembling, their little
noses were even shaking with fear.
''But at last they heard the Fox fam
lily going away. All, how relieved ant

past, but still for some time they KEEP
very still, as they had no idea wheI
they might hear the Fox family coming
back again and they didn't want to run
any risks when they had planned sucl

WHERE PEACE Is ENDURING
For More Than a Century Uncle sam
and Canada Have Been
Good Friends.

Before me lies a letter from Mont
real, and the most interesting thing
about it is the cancellation stamp OF
the Canadian government. "Girard
writes in the Philadelphia Ledger.
Upon the wide field of the British
flag is printed in body type this re-
minder: Help to win the war. Buy
war savings certificates"
Canada is helping to win the war
not only with her dollars but with her
men. Half a million have already en-
listed, and that is like Pennsylvania
sending an equally large army to the
front, the population of Canada being
not quite so large as that of our state.
Curiously enough, most Americans
know much less about the government
Of Canada than of England, France,
Russia or Germany.
We forget that July 1 is Canada's
Fourth of July, and that the dominion
came into being just fifty years ago.
We forget that instead of thirteen
colonies, as we had, Canada had but
four provinces.
We have had states and territories
but Canada has provinces and dis
tricts. There are now nine of the for
| mer and five Of the latter.
Ours is a republic, but Canada is
dominion.
When Benedict Arnolds little army
of about eleven hundred men, which
had marched, starved and frozen
through the wilderness of Maine, at

Revolution, Canada's population was
less than that Of West Philadelphia.

Sable Fish,

The United States bureau of fish
cries is trying TO Dopularize the sable
fish. which is foand in large numbers
off the coasts of the Northwestern
states and Alaska. 1t has been almost
entirely neglected as a food, although
of high quality.
TIE sable fish is also called the
black cod. Last fall fishermen caught
tbe sable fish in large quantities. Most
of the catches went into cold storage.
In order to bring this fish to the
attention of dealers, thereby causing
more general consumption, the fish
cries bureau ha2 prepared some print
ed matter on the subject.

THE END.)
LET BEST FRIENDS BE BOOKS
Much Comfort Found in Them for the
Lonely and One in the Evening
of Life.

In passing days of our lives, when
the fires of passion have been well
burned out; when we have come face
to face with the vicissitudes of life and
find out that we have either won or
lost the battle, let our best friends be
books, observes writer in the Mem
phis Commercial-Appeal.
We can commune with them SO long
as we please, and when we are tired,
we can shut them up. This is more
than we can do with our friends of the
human family.
When a man comes home at night
harassed and hacked with the wor-
ries of life, he wants not only rest for
the body; he wants rest for his soul,
for his heart, for his mind.
The wife who hopes to develop in
the home perfect atmosphere of con-
tent, will study her husbands moods.
When he is worried when his mind is.
bit distraught and he desires mental
rest, he will read. There is wonder
full amount of consolation in our books.
Sometimes he may yield to light liter
thoughts on more sincere and heavy
| topics.
| Our books are our real friends. 1t
does not make bit of difference how
sick a man may be, If he will have
read to him chapter or two Of "Pick-
wick Papers," he will smile. Read
your little one just page or two of
Little Men, or of Little Women
and see the rest that will spread over
his face, that beautiful expression Of
soothed pain. Let anyone who is In
trouble, and who has no friend, gath
er himself in solitude with a good
book. There is much consolation in
it. 1t has that unexpfainable source
of relief. 1t is like the tender touch
of woman's hand on a parched and
fevered brow. 1t rests the mind, il
brings for the time being at least sur
cease to sorrow.
