It is everywhere admitted that the
use of alcohol is an evil Then if wo
havo this evil why ehould it stand as
does the falcon as a constant tempta
tion Why should it allure our boys
and young men into iho habit of doping
mind and body and eouI Why should
it help to destroy tbo conscience and
the character of those who are making
every effort to lend a wholefome re
spectable lifer Why should it tempt
our girls as it does into a 1 fe of shume
Why should it bo fliurted in the face
of growing boys nid yirla at a timo in
life when temptation h often too strong
for them We are upending millions of
dollars for the purpose of education
In the i ubiie schools wo go through
the process of developing our citizens
of building strength of body and mind
that is so essential to good citizenship
and in the nearby saloons wo proceed to
demolish and demobilize the very char
acteristics for whiLh we havo paid such
a great price

was confined to my bed with chronic
rheumatism I used two bottles of

A Scientific Theory Concerning
the
End of Our Planet
Credulous individuals who are al
ways fearful that some of the ends
of the world predicted by sensational
prophets may prove to be true will
find considerable comfort in the asser
tion of Professor Lowell that there Is
good scientific evidence for the belief
that mankind will have many years
warning of the great catastrophe that
is destined to put an end to all things
on this planet
According to Professor Lowells
statements there Is somewhere within
the remote con lines of space a great
mass of matter once a world but
now dead that Is hurling Itself to
ward our sun In time it is certain
to reach the goal to which It is tend
ing and when the two come together
the globe on which we live is destined
to cease to exist
Fortunately for our -peace of mind
there is at the present moment no
such dead world within dangerous
proximity and yet any day it may
appear Any day the morning papers
may announce that one of these dark
bodies has come within the reach of
the telescope that it may readily be
seen by the light of the sun reflected
upon it
While it would then be certain that
the end of the world was in sight
there would still be ample time in
which to prepare for the inevitable
If the first view of the intruder was
caught at the eleventh magnitude
it could scarcely come much nearer
without being detected it would not
he until twenty seven years later that
it would become visible to the naked
eye and three years more would
elapse before it appeared to us as
equal in size to a first magnitude star
In two years and three mouths more
it would have come as near to us as
Jupiter and by that time it would be
far the brightest star in the sky In
fact its effect upon the world would
already be felt Our seasons would
chauge and the days would grow long
ger Finally just 14a days later
those who were still alive would wit
ness the beginning of the end The
stranger would not strike the earth
but would pass so close in its dash to
the sun that the earth would turn and
follow until together they would drop
silently into the sun Brooklyn Eagle
A GHOST AT SEA
The Phantom That Boarded the Bark
Sea Flower
The following incident is recorded
as a true short story by an English
publication
The Sea Flower a bark of some 4o0
tons was iu the early hours of the
23d of JuuelSU4 bound for Bristol
England under the command of the
first mate tier captain John Ellis
having been left behind at Kingston
Jamaica suffering from yellow jack
It was about four bells in the middle
watch or 2 a mi when the mate who
was standing near the binnacle giving
the helmsman his course suddenly be
came aware of a mysterious presence
in the waist of the ship At the same
moment his companion clutched him
by the arm aud pointing shrieked
Dye see him sir
Before he could reply the mate be
came aware that the dark shadow he
had just before observed had so far
materialized that it bore the appear
ance of Captain Ellis The figure of
the captain advanced along the deck
and disappeared slowly down the com
panion
Recovering himself the mate left the
helmsman and hurried down into the
cabin meeting just coming out of it
the second mate who told him he had
been awakened with a start after
dreaming that the captain had come
aboard and was calling him Both
men then made a complete search of
the saloon and the other cabins but it
is needless to say without result
Later it was fouud that Captain El
lis had died between 1 and 2 a in in
the morning of June 23
The story got about and the ship ob
tained a reputation for being haunted
consequently a difficulty was found in
obtaining crews and in the end it was
renamed and sold to a foreign firm
The Fly1 on the Ceiling
It is often a matter of wonder how
flies get on to the ceiling because to
do so they have to turn a semisomer
sault in the air said Sir Henry Hill
in the course of a lecture delivered at
the London institution A fly said
Mr Hill has a backward and forward
movement of the wings and can part
ly turn them round in addition to
the up and down motion of a birds
wings That enables it to turn in al
most qny direction At the end of
each one of a flys feet there is a

He Knew How to Play a Good Hand
When He Got It
Pat Sheedy said a sporting edi
tor used to entertain me when 1
visited his art shop with gambling
tales
There was one tale about a sand
wich that I rather liked It seems
according to this tale that a barkeeper
in some mining town connived with
three sharpers and dear help any
tenderfoot that ever ventured to sit
in a little poker game among that
crew
One night the tenderest tenderfoot
Imaginable after a half dozen drinks
In the saloon agreed to take a hand
in a dollar limit game
Tilings went along In the usual
way for awhile Theu an amazing
series of nods and winks began to
pass about The bartender had sig
naled that the teuderfoot held four
kings on the draw There wore more
nods and winks and betting began
In the midst of the betting a waiter
brought sandwiches and whisky in
order to distract the tenderfoot and
while the poor dupe was tossing off
his drink the sharper next him slip
ped a sixth card on to his hand thus
of course nullifying it
The unconscious tenderfoot look
up a huge sandwich bit off a large
mouthful and began to bet again
Right and left of course they raised
him He ate on and bet away calm
ly An enormous sum lay on the
table
Then suddenly the bartender re
sumed his nods and winks He was
terribly excited Something was
wrong The sharpers a little anxious
called the tenderfoot
The tenderfoot finished the last
bite of his sandwich took a long drink
of whisky and laid down his original
five cards Then iu silence he gath
ered in his vast pile of winnings and
with a cool nod took his leave
After his departure there was a
terrible time
What the dickens did he do with
that sixth cardV the sharper cried
Didnt you see Didnt you see
cried the bartender dancing up and
dowu with rage He ate it with his
sandwich St Louis Globe-Democrat
A CURE AND A FEE
Peculiar Experience of a Doctor With
a Business Man
In conversation one dav about the
peculiar views that commercial meu
sometimes entertain about professional
services Dr S Weir Mitchell told the
following story
A very wealthy man came to con
sult me about an attack of vertigo He
said that he had just returned from a
trip to Europe where he had consult
ed eminent specialists but that they
had failed to afford him any perma
nent relief A physician iu Loudon
lie said asked me why I did not make
an attempt to be cured nearer home
I thought on my way out west 1 would
stop over to see you
Has any physician you have visit
ed looked into your ears I asked
No was his reply
I made an examination of his ears
removed some wax aud a substance
that appeared to be hardened reuiuauts
of cotton wool 1 sent him away then
and told him to come again in a day
or two He did so
Well he exclaimed I am cured
How mush do I owe you
About r0 1 replied
As he drew a check he asked Did
you know wheu you tirst examined my
ears that you could euro me
When 1 told him that I had a ver
fair conviction that 1 could he said
Well you are a blanked fool You
should have said to me I think I can
cure you and I will do so for 10000
no cure no pay You would have
got your money without a murmur
Oh I said if you feel that way
about it there are several little chari
ties in which I am interested and
No no he interrupted That i
not business I have my cure and you
have the price you asked The trans
action is closed
