A bartender, writing ah article entitled "What a Man Will Do for a t8 Drink." in the March American MagIn asine. tells the following story: "1 had one customer who was a a puzzle to me.

But I could ^ not conceive of anyone begging for a flve-per-cent alcohol'drink which was sweet. He took the glass of wine, sipped a little from it, took a small vial of ether from his pocket, floated the ether on tire wine, and . gulped It . down. In a few minutes he was maudin, pitifully drunk. Hj recovered-in a short time, and went for a walk, returning inside of an hour to beg for another glass1 of port. The fumes of the other had Cleared away, p,' and he was sober. I asked him why he took that stuff. The confession .jj he made amazed me, in spite of my long association with drunkards. He loved to get drunk. ^tPt-^ank with the set purpose of becoming drunk. He loved whiskey, but the Arm that v employed him gave him his choice between quitting whiskey or their employ. He quit whiskey. Six days ^ a week he did not drink. On his day ^ off he wanted to get drunk as quipk^ Jj^aa possible, and, as he said, 'enjoy himself; so he had evolved the other ^ drink.

He knows life?and men. He has traveled over three continents studying humon conditions and business relations; lie is a member of the London Society of Arts, the American Academy of Political and Social Science, Academy of Political Science t Now York), the National Geographical Society, the Medico-Legal Society. etc. He is the man whom John V.'anamuker^h^l lecture to his grout mercantile family of over three thousand employes for three consecutive years at reuulnr hour* nnrli <tnv jh. ?,?.w.j_ inesa building, store ethics, and salesmanvhlp.

He has lecthred in every Stat^ in the union except three. He makes plain the obscure and renders easy what Is difficult, therefore he 1b a teacher.

He poBsessesscs a native vein of humor which sparkle* , up into witticisms of all kinds and at L all times therefore he is entortain| ing. He handles important and vital subjects; therefore he is instructive and worth while. The following is what "John Wpnamaker says about him: , "By mixing wHth the world he Learned men.

The education.of out boicsiurcc ib inc:r wutk wun aim > has been of great benefit to us all.' i The following la the opinion* ol 1 Montgomery Ward and Co.. of Chi* ? S*ta: "The results of Dr. Krebs' lecture will be beneficial. It waB put before an audience of 250 of our men in such a clear and happy vein that the general opinion was 'A moat instructive and enjoyable evening.' " The Columbus. Ind., Herald has this to say: "Practlcaliy every business man in the city made it a point* to hear Stanley Krebs on .'Psychology in Bus. inesB,' and each one came away with broader views of his work as a profession and a science. Through the medium of a chart to fix the outlines of his thoughts before the audience in black and white (the belter t6 im ough ktrowledge of" a science which "rn?tny did not suspect existed in their business. Dr. Krebs proved to the satisfaction of every dealer present the whys and wherefores of success or failure. ^Hard-headed business men in the audience who bad never thought of science applying to the ordinary walks of life, soon saw that Krebs had the situation at his finger tips. Krebs is able to hold the interest of his audience not mainly by humor Interspersed through his lecture, but by the necessity and delight of closely following his arguments, because he builds thought as a /bason lays a wall, block by block, until the whole Is a perfected thing."
