A SONG, NOT A SERMON. But It Points a Moral From a Vsry Ordinary Incident. It was a merry occasion. The fun was fast and furious. It was in a barroom; the place, Washington. Inspiring bold John Barleycorn. What dangers thou canst niaka us scorn; Wi’ tippenny we fear nae evil; Wl’ usquabae we’ll face the devil! And so one of this party invited seven companions to join him in a drink of "red licker," and they sat— Bousing at the nappy An’ gettin’ sou an' unco happy. I The man planked down a dollar, i crisp and fresh from the treasury. The i account was squared; the score was i paid. He was a family man and walked across the street to a meat stand and ordered two pounds of round steak. The grocer supplied him and | asked 30 cents as the price. “What!’’ , the man roared. “What! Fifteen cents a pound for round steak! It is a highway robbery!” And so we go through life prodigal In buying luxury and miserly in buying necessity. That man had no conception of his illogical action—spending a dollar for liquor that be and bis comrades would have been the better without and kicking a hole in the ceiling on account of a purchase of beef to the charge of 30 cents that he could ill do without Man can live without booze, but the man has yet to be invented who can get along without food. This is no sermon. This newspaper never preaches. What we intended to I say and all we intended to say was to call attention to the truth. All the world’s a stage And all the men and women merely players. The very best of us have need of the | charity of our brothers and sisters.— j Washington Tost ■ — GOOD COLLATERAL The Way Tom Fitch of Nevada Used Ito “Raise the Wind.” Tom Fitch of Nevada was a bright ! fellow and one of the best writers and I stump speakers of the west, but be ; was thriftless and when he got bard j up would resort to almost any means j to get a stake. One day he wrote a scathing speech denouncing Sharon, then president of the Bank of California and afterward United States senator from Nevada. In it he charged Sharon with almost every crime known to the Decalogue or the statutes. He put the manuscript in a large envelope and walked into the Bank of California. “Here.” be said to the cashier, handing the package through the window—“here are some securities which I offer as collateral on a loan. Please band them to Mr. Sharon in person, and I will wait for his answer.” Mr. Sharon was in his private office. Breaking the seal of the envelope, he found the speech and read it through, together with a note from Fitch, informing him that unless he was paid $5,000 he would deliver that speech in every town in the state. In a few min-

utes the cashier, on Mr. Sharon's order. reported that the collateral was all right and paid the happy Fitch the desired amount. Three months afterward, having 'gone through the money in speculation i and dissipation, Mr. Fitch made his anneamnce —!t’j this i time of a very complimentary churac- • ter, which be promised to deliver at every convenient opportunity tor the same amount. This, too, proved good

collateral, and the story would never have come tojlgbt if Fitch had 'ot. in a moment of drunken frankness, told it himself. o For the Egotist to Ponder. Granting that there are a great many things in this world that do please you, remember at the same ' time that the world wasn’t created for that sole purpose: it was here be- , fore you came. —John A. Howland.
