Whiskey ia the father of lying. Who

He tella bow ha happened to drink
too much tbe judge dooa not even listen.
No one liatens all know he ia probably
lying.
He aweara that he will never drink
again. The whiskey ia swearing and
lying. No ods believes him except
perhape aome poor, oonfidiug womun
whom nothing oan discourage.
From drink cornea boastirg another
kind of lying.
Frona drink men get lying, disease,
obstinacy (did you ever see sober men
trying to make a diuokard to home?)
brutality, oruelty (doea any but the
drunken man murder his own children?
and many other vices that destroy

What eingle good thing comes from
whiakey?
Not one.
Artificial strength, bragging ioeicad
of achieving, lack of will power, weak
nasi of purpose, conceit baaed on an over
stimulated brain, foolish dreams never to
be realized these things whiskey gives.

TEARFUL OCCASIONS'
Rapresentativs De Graffenried of
Texas, who ia one of the best atory tellers
in the House, waa sitting at lunch yester
day when be sampled some very warm
horseradish. Tbe teara came into bia
eyea.
''That reminda me," he aaid to the
Congreaiman who were gathered around
the table, ot the man dowa in my coun
try who sampled tabaico sauce for the
6 ret time. He filled a spoon with the
hot mixture and drank it. His eyea at
onca filled with tcare.
" 'What are you oryiog for,' aaked bia
companion.
"'My mother ia dead,' waa his reply.
"A few minutea later he induced bis
companion to try the tabaoco. When
his friend's ayes beoatuc watery, ha asked
him why he was crying,
" 'Because you did not dia when your
mother did', said bin companion."

"Yes," said the eminent professor at a
social gathering, adJrossing his remarks
to a email man to whom hejiad been in
troduced. ''I flatter myself that I rarely
fail to read a face correctly."
"So ?" queried the small man.
"Yes. Now, there ia a lady," contin
ued the profesior, pointing to it 200-
pound specimen of the fair sex, "the lines
of whose countenance arc as cloar aa
print to me. The chin shows firmness
of disposition, amounting to obstinacy;
the pointed noae, a viooua temperament;
the oapaeious mouth, volubility; the
square ohin denotes trouble fur those
who oppose her wishes; the eyes show a
hardness of heart "
"Wonderful, truly wonderful, profes
sor," interrupted the small man.
"You evidently know something of
the lady, then ?" said the professor.
"Sura," replied the small man; "she is
my wife."
JUDICIAL ADVICE.
In passing judgment in the cases of
men arraigned at the, Central station on
charges of intoxication, Magistrate
Cunningham, although he frequently re
verses himself, off t to cuch offender
some sound advice.
Bill Jones, who had been found upon
tbe publio highway minus the faculty of
navigation, was arraigned before him.
"Married or single?" akod the Mag
istrate. "Single, sir," r p'i d the shaking cul
prit, "You ought to gut married. If you
had a wife and family to occupy your
attention you would have no desire to
drink," said the Magistrate. "I'll dis
charge you; but I hope you'll give tn
matrimony more (bought than you have
given to liquor."
John Smith, who had alao been ar
rested for being iutoxicated, was next
called.
Married or single, John ?" queried
the Magistrate.
"Married, your Honor," waa the pris
oner's reply.
"Then you have no business getting
drunk. Drinking should be done by
single men who have do family to require
their attention and casb. iou ought to
have remained single, then tbe damage
you are doing would fall upon you alone.
