127, 129 East Douglas Avenue, Wichita, Kansas. Method of Italian Cafes Puts Premium on Deep Drinking. Drink, as usual, was the subject of debate. "I went into a cafe in Bologna last month," said a Chicagoan. I said, in my best Italian.

"The pretty waitress brought me a flask of vino. Then she asked if I would drink by the glass or hour. I opened my eyes wide. I shook my head in bewilderment. Laughing, she explained: 'Competition is so great in the cafes of Bologna that we have to adopt all sorts of novelties to attract trade.

The latest is drinking by the hour. In nearly all our cafes now you can drink by the glass or hour, as pleases you. 'Our vin irdinalre can be drunk at ten cents an hour. There is profit in that, no matter how great the drinker's capacity may be. Vln ordinaire, you know, costs nothing.

'For beer we charge 50 cents an hour. We make little on beer. Brandy is one dollar an "I laughed. 'In what I asked, 'do these contract drinkers walk "The girl laughed, too. 'They don't she said.

'They are Good Reason for the Young Man's Hasty Departure. It was" Just before daybreak the darkest hour of the night. The shutters of a third story window in a large summer hotel ncisejessly opened and a heavy object was cautiously lowered to the ground. A young man in fashionable clothes, gripping a heavy handbag in his teeth and an- umbrella and a cane under his arm, slid hurriedly down the rope to the ground. With nervous fingers he untied his suit case, tiptoed out of the yard and started at a trot across lots to the station, a mile and a half away.

The first golden beams were dancing across tire eastern hills as the young man neared the depot. The sleeper whistled sharply for the station and he quickened his pace into a mad run, heedless of his aching arms and the sand in his low shoes. "It's a bad getaway," muttered the young man three minutes later In the smoker as he wiped his streaming face, "but my bills are all paid. I left tips for the servants and a hurried note explaining that an uncle had died in Honduras or some other place. It certainly was a desperate chance, but the only means I could think of to get away from that straw ride the girls have planned for to-morrow." Judge.

This business of polishing silver in profound silence was getting on her nerves. She would endeavor to get it off. "Ain't it nice to get the laugh on people?" she inquired cheerily. AH her life the mistress had been accused of being too easy with her "girls." This time she would begin aright, so she merely raised her eyebrows and remarked, "Is it?" But the newcomer was chill-proof. "Oh yes," she continued blithely, "me an' my sister have the laugh on all the people in Jamaica, (that's where 'my sister lives).

You see, her little girl had whooping cough an everybody said she'd have it 12 weeks." The mistress remembered hearing a voice, singularly like her own, that had lifted itself up, and proclaimed: the employers of domestic help would remember that their maids are human beings and not machines, the 'servant problem would solve itself." So she felt constrained to ask: "And did she have It all that while?" "No, she didn't; a lady gave her a cure; she says, 'Get up every morning for three days just at dawn. Then pull a hair from the very middle of the baby's head; after that split open a piece of meat and put in the hair. Then tie the meat to a piece of bread feed it all to a big black dog. In three days the dog will have the whooping cough an' the baby will be "And was sb?" meekly inquired the owner of the silver. "Sure she was," returned the teller of strange tales.

"And the dog?" i "He coughed so the man in the next house poisoned him." WHY SHE "SHOOK" HER FRIEND. J. STEVENS to ARMS TOOL CO. P.O.BoiWM Coicvpei Falls, Ham. R.

He is a public spirited and progressive business man, and he has built up an cxten.sive business in friends. It is our prupose to call at ENGLISH AS SHE IS UTTERED. HIS TERRIFIC WASTE OF TIME. Shopper Preferred to Be Alone When Purchasing Shoes.

A woman sat down in the shoe department of a New York store and bade the clerk hurry. "I left a friend at the lace counter," she said, "and I want to get my shoes fitted before she gets here." The clerk apparently appreciated the circumstances. He worked fast, and In an Incredibly short time the woman had selected three satisfactory pairs of shoes. "I wonder why she was so anxious to get through before her friend came," remarked another customer. "For the same reason that makes every woman want to shop alone when buying shoes," laughed the clerk.

"She has rather a large foot, and she didn't want her friend to find out what number she wears. It is seldom that the purchasers of shoes shop In pairs. They may hang together when buying anything else In the store, but when it conies to shoes each woman strikes out for herself. The only exception is the woman who has an unusually small foot. She would take her whole list of acquaintances along when buying shoes if she could." ooo ooooo THE OBJECTS OF THE WO-, MEN'S INTERNATIONAL UNION LABEL LEAGUE.

"What is the cabbage?" inquired the departing patron, who wished to go to the railway station from the hotel. "What's the what?" exclaimed the clerk, losing his clutch on the perfect English he usually handed over the counter.

"What's the cabbage?" I said. "I know you did, but I do not quite get your meaning." "Oh, you don't? You know what cab-base Is, don't you?" "I guess I've seen enough of it tc know. I used to live in the suburbs of Chicago." "Well, what is it from here to the depot?" "I suppose it is Just what It is everywhere else; that is, a vegetable which" The departing patron interrupted with violence.

"Perhaps as severe a small shock as I ever got," said a man who is careful of his time, "struck me the other day when I discovered that for many years I had been misspelling a certain word by the introduction of an additional letter. It wasn't the misspelling of the word that disturbed me, it was the fact that misspelling It as I had done I had wasted so much time in writing it. But now I have begun to get back the time lost. "I have selected a word that I find I frequently use, a word from which one letter can be eliminated without impairing its significance or its appeal to the eye, and from that word in writing I am now omitting that one letter.

"As I figure it, In about 17 years, by leaving out a letter from this word, I Bhall gain about as much time as I have lost by adding a letter to that other word. I shall square the account, and then I shall feel easier. "Time is the most valuable thing we have, and I hate to waste it." Blue Stockings. About 1871 It was the fashion for several ladies to gather at evening assemblies, where they might participate in conversation with literary and ingenious men. One of the most eminent members of those societies, when they first commenced, was Mr.

Still-ingfleet (grandson of the bishop), whose dress was remarkably grave with the exception of the blue stockings be always wore. His conversation was so excellent that his absence was greatly felt, whereon they would say that they could do nothing without "Blue-stockings," and thus the title was established. A French foreigner translated the words to the French and called Bas-Bleu a gathering of brilliant friends who meet to talk, giving no thought of dress. That's right at prices here are riaht counter in a local department store, and In a trembling voice asked for a supply of blanks. She wrote a message on one blank, which she immediately tore In halves; then a second message was written out that was treated in the same way; finally a third was accomplished, and this Bhe handed to the operator with a feverish request that it be "rushed." When the message had gone on the wire and the sender had departed, the operator read the other two for her own amusement.

The first ran: "All at an end. Have no wish to see you again." "Do not write or try to see me any more," was the tenor of the second message. The third was to this effect: "Come at once. Take next train if possible. Answer." Philadelphia Publla Ledger.

Not long ago he betook himself for a few days to a little Yorkshire village, which boasted a good trout stream, and put up at a clean but modest hotel.

His grace on his arrival Informed the landlord who he was, and on leaving wrote a check for his bill and handed it to his host. The landlord closely scanned the signature and asked: "What name is this?" Ebor," answered his grace. "Ah," said the landlord, as he pocketed the check, "I thought you were telling me a falsehood when you told me you were the archbishop of York." The man evidently did not know that an archbishop has a name like an ordinary person. the purchasing. ooooooooooooo ooooooooooooo BUY UNION LABEL GOODS, That Surprise Party.

An Atchison man who was the sub-Jpct of a Surprise party recently went to see a lawyer. He Bays the people did not bring refreshments, and he was advised by the lawyer that the bill for refreshments he was compelled to buy can be collected from the women who got up the party. The lawyer says that the legal principle is well established that refreshments should be taken to a surprise party. The result will be watched with interest. There is no law to compel a man to provide a lap lunch for his neighbors on a moment's notice, and then be abused because there Is only one kind of cake.

The lawyer also says that exemplary damages can be recovered. We don't know what that means, but the lawyer is quite certain that they can be had. Atchison Globe. Statues to Women. In the streets of London there are only five statues to women.

Four ot these are queens and the fifth Is Mrs. Siddons, whose statue as the tragic muse is in Paddlngton Green. In the matter of memorial tablet, women fare no better, as out of fully ICO affixed to houses where celebrated people dwell only four have women's names upon them. These' commemorate Fanny Burney (Mme. D'Arblay), Joanna Bailie, Elizabeth Barrett Browning and Mrs.

Siddons. Several of the largest busl- ness houses' in Wichita carry a line of Union-Made Goods, but complaint is made that "there Is no demand for the Union Label Goods card men don't demand Label Goods."

The Tabard Inn was an ancient Inn, formerly situated in Southwark, London, the traditional hostelry where Chaucer and the other pilgrims met. and with their host discoursed about the manner of their Journey to Canterbury. The buildings of Chaucer's time have disappeared, but were standing in 1602.

The oldest now remaining is of the age of Elizabeth, and the most interesting portion Is a stone colored wooden gallery, in front of which is the picture of the Canterbury pilgrimage, said to have been painted by Blake. Instead of the ancient sign of the Tabard, the Ignorant landlord put up about the year 1676 the sign of Talbot, which it now bears. union protection and spend your money for "SCAB" clothing?

Children have a very fair idea of what constitutes Justice, and decidedly object to being punished more than they think they deserve. A bright, little seven-year-old committed some trifling misdemeanor and was taken to task very seriously by her mother.

After listening some time in silence, Mabel said: "What makes you keep talking to me so, mamma?" "Because," replied the mother, "I want to impress it upon your mind so that you won't do it again." "Well," was the response, with the faintest quiver of grief in her voice, "I think I'm 'pressed clear through now," What could the mother do but conclude that the lesson had been sufficiently 'pressed" for the time being, and send the little culprit about her play? THE WORLDS GREATEST SEWING MACHINE LIGHT RUNNING A Thinker. Beware when the great God lets loose a thinker on this planet. Then all things are at risk. It Is as when a conflagration has broken out In a great city, and no man knows what Is safe or where it will end. There is not a piece of science but its flank may be turned to-morrow; there Is not any literary reputation, not the so-called eternal names of fame, that may not be revised and condemned.

The very hopes of man, the thoughts of his heart, the religion of nations, the manners and morals of mankind, are all at the mercy of a new generalization. Generalization is always a new Influx of tho divinity into the mind. Hence the thrill that attends it. Ralph Waldo Emerson. A Plant That Weeds.

Scientific agriculturalists are taking a great interest Just now in a pretty plant with blue flowers the com-melina nodlflora for this plant eats up weeds. The plant comes from Malaysia, where it is of great service in exterminating the lalang and other weeds Inimical to rubber growths. In the English botanical gardens at Kew tests have proved it to be equally powerful against the weeds of a temperate climate, and In Washington the Kew demonstrations are being duplicated. The commellna grows rapidly and weeds disappear before it Will it some day supplant the human weeder with bis raw fingers and aching back? Blood Heat. The normal tempeature of the human body is about 98 degrees, Fah-enhelt.

This Is known as blood heat, and Is maintained within one or two degrees, whether In the arctic or tropical regions. In the animal kingdom mammals have about, the same temperature as man; birds are warmer than man by eight or ten degrees, while reptiles, fishes and all Invertebrates differ only slightly from the temperature of the medium in which they live. i The One Place. 1 "In this age of graft and muck rakers," remarked the cheerful Idiot, "there Is at least one place where honesty and truth may always be found." "For goodness' sake, where?" queried the doubting Thomas. "In the dictionary," answered the c.

Piece of Valuable Carpet. "There is a small piece of carpet in the mint In San Francisco that a good many people wouM doubtless like to get possesion of," remarked R. H. Smith of the California city. "It Is in the adjusting room, where surplus gold is trimmed from the coins' after they have been stamped.

Of course these little trimmings often drop on the floor and are imbedded in the carpet, which is soon to be burned in order that the precious filings may be recovered. Sometimes after a piece of carpet like this has been burned $5,006 worth of gold dust is taken from the ashes. The aweeplngs from the floor each day are carefully Why Are We So Hard? The following motto was on the wall of a woman's bedroom: "Let us take hands and help each other to-day, because we are alive together." She is a bride a year, and that Is the sentiment with which she fur- nlahed her bedroom and tries to car The Meanest Ad. A clerk in the advertising department of a newspaper called a reporter to him. "Here is the meanest ad," he said.

"In ray long experience. It was handed in by a very pretty young girl. When I read it I could hardly keep from saying to her: 'Aren't you ashamed?"

No woman who is hard and critical is happy. "Take hands and help each other today" is the sure road to contentment and happiness. 1 The Tyranny of Custom. Every human being has natural affections and natural antipathies. Instead, however, of obeying the Impulse which makes us pursue the former and avoid the latter, we allow the most intimate relationship in life to be decided by calculating reason.

Even in the matter of food and drink, we neither eat when we are hungry nor drink when we are thirsty, but whenever the ringing of a bell summons us to a meal for which we may or may not have the smallest inclination.

"It annoya me," he said, one day, "if I am discourteously treated at the threshold of a friend's door. I remember once calling on some one, and the maid, in her rudest manner, Not Equipped.

"You ought to try to take life more philosophically," said the man who means well. "I haven't the raw materials for philosophy," answered Farmer Corn-tossel. "The raw materials?" "Yep. Most of the philosophy I have seen needed a foundation of fried chicken and trimmings and an easy cbalr and a box of cigars and a number of other things I don't happen to have bandy." Carrots Curs-All for Babies. One would scarcely think of feeding ill babies on carrots, yet this is precisely what has been done with great success by an Italian physician, Dr.

Moro, who finds that these vegetables act as an Intestinal antiseptic. In all of 48 cases of digestive disturbances treated with a carrot puree excellent results are reported. The soup Is not only antlsei tic but nourishing. There appears to be no good reaso.j why the carrot should not have the same effect upon adult as upon infant digestion, and lovers of the peculiar flavor of this humble vesetab: may consider that their preferences are now amply justified.

A Washington woman recently hired a negress. Going to the kitchen one day she was amazed to find the negress sitting on the floor, with her hair standing out from her head like a black nimbus. The girl was pullins one curly lock and then another in such a way as to suggest that she had suddenly lost her reason. "What on earth are yon doing, Mary?" gasped the lady of the house.

A housemaid being questioned as what girls dislike most In the way of an employer declared that the woman who thinks she knows how to keep bouse is the most disagreeable woman to work for. Generally she thinks her way the only way and makes Ufa miserable for her maids. The ideal mistress is one, the maid thinks, who has not much faith in her own ability to do work, but is satisfied with ordering, leaving the details to her servants.
