In payment he placed dollar bill on the mahogany The barkeeper pressed the s1 key of the cash register and continued polish ing glasses.

 No"
 Then give me another drink"
 1t was brought forth, another dollar whisky, a third time he paid with s1 bill and third time he saw it disap- pear and got nothing save the drink in return. He gulped the third drink and started toward the door.
 50 you don't own a horse?" There was note of incredulity in the ques- tion. The, bartenders patience was gone.
 Don't get me riled," he warned. I'm a peaceful citizen, but you can shove me just about so far. Why should I own horse?"
 Well" replied the purchaser of ex- pensive liquor, Jesse James owned one"

First Middle West Railroad.

The first railroad in the Middle West
was built in Michigan and ran between
Detroit and Pontiac. The first section,
extending as far as Royal Oak, was
opened in 1888, and in 1889 it extended
as far as Birmingham. It was not until
1S43, however, that the Pontiac end
of the line was completed. The first
passenger coaches were divided into
three rooms, benches being run length
wise and passengers entering through
doors in the center Of the side. The
rails were of strap or bar iron, spiked
to wooden cross ties, but were SO in
effective that they frequently broke,
turned up and entered the cars, oc-
casionally causing serious accidents.
For this reason 1t was customary to
sheath. the bottoms Of the cars with
iron as q special protection.

ALL IN ONE GREAT FAMILY
Hindus Draw Relationship Close,
Knowing No Word as Cold
as "Cousins"

All able-bodied members Of the
Hindu family must contribute their Ia
Dor and earnings, whether of personal
skill or agriculture and trade, to the
common stock, writes Bhupendranath
Basu. Weaker members, widows, or
phans, and destitute relations, all must
be maintained and supported; sons.
pephews, brothers, cousins, all must
be treated equally, for any undue
preference is apt to break up the fam
lily.
We have no word for cOusinS-they
are either brothers or sisters-we do
not know what are cousins two de-
first cousin are young nephews and
nieces just the same as the children of
young brothers or sisters. The fam
lily affections, the family ties, are al
ways very strong. and therefore the
maintenance of an equal standing
among so many members is not SO diff
f1cult as it may appear at first.
Moreover, life is very simple. I'm
til recently shoes were not in gen
eral use at home, but sandals without
any leather fastenings. | have known
of a well-to-do middle class family of
several brothers and cousins who had
two or three pairs of shoes between
them, these shoes being only used
when they had occasion to go out, and
the same practice is still followed in
the case of more expensive garments,
like shawls. which last for genera
tiOns, and with their age are treated
with loving care, as having been used
by ancestors of reverend memory
The joint family remains together
sometimes for several generations I'M
til it becomes too unwieldy, when it
breaks up into smaller families, and
you thus see whole villages peopled
by members of the same clan.

Dr. Frank Elwood Gordon of Ok
mulgee, Oklahoma, grew up on the
farm. He knows what it means to
do hard days work behind the pillow
as well as on the lecture platform.
He was educated in the Kansas
State Normal and Denver University,
Colorado. Nine years of his early life
was spent as teacher, principal and
county superintendent Of schools. he
is an able preacher of large and sue
cessful experience. He knows the de-
sires and needs of teachers, patrons
and pupils, and also the demands Of
church activities which are just now
of outstanding importance. Doctor
Gordon's lectures deal with practical
problems in an interesting, entertain
ing, instructive and gripping way, for
he speaks from the heart as well as
from the intellect. He Is Of the Abra-
ham Lincoln type. His lectures rank
with the very best on the platform In
thought, logic and force. He is an
experienced chautauqua lecturer, and

Passing the Buck.

So the President ''passes the buck"
or tries to; for we have little expec-
tation that his political manoeuvre will
succeed. Having, with his own hand
picked Congress, imposed upon the
country wartime prohibition, which
is to go into effect not in wartime, but
after the war is over, he now seeks to
throw upon the new Congress respon-
sibility for the embarrassment of either
maintaining or repeating it, and for the
odium which seems sure to attach to
whichever course is adopted.
Let the circumstances be well re-
membered. The prohibition provision
was driven through Congress under
whip and spur as something quite nee
essary to the Presidents successful
prosecution of the war-like woman
suffrage; which, however, was denied
him, and yet without which the war
was won, after all. 1t was put through
in the most odious and disingenuous of
forms: as rider" on an appropria-
ton bill Legislative freebooter"
as Senator Spooner would have called
it. And it was to remain in effect until
the President should declare demobili-
cation of the army to have been eff
fected.
The President now asks Congress to
repeal it. 1t was supposed Congress
supposed when it passed the thing at
his behest-that he could himself end
it by proclamation, whenever demob-
ilization was completed But he says
that he is advised that he cannot do
so without legislative aid.
So the President wants Congress to
do something about it, right away,
quick, before the law goes into effect
on July l. If Congress should vote
upon it, he shrewdly reckons, it would
be certain to get itself into trouble: if
it voted for repeal, it would incur the
resentment and hostility of the "dry"
forces. ''Seep all the Creels would
cry, "The President had prohibition
law enacted, and the wicked Republi-
cans have repealed it and made the ma
ton drunk again" If, on the other
hand, Congress should vote against re-
peal, it would incur the displeasure of
a very large part of the general pub
lie, who would have it Creeled into their
ears that the President wanted to have
them relieved of the odious prohibition,
but that Congress refused and thwart-
ed him.
We do not think the trick will work.
The President is responsible for the
law, and, despite the "advice" he says
he has received, has full power to sus-
pend or recall it if he wishes. 1t is up
to him to deal with it. = Harvey
Weekly.
