NOT A DKOI Wine Ran i A Washington Dispatch to thc New York Sun says: Wine floured freely last night at Henderson Castle, the handsome home of Ex-Senator John B. Hender son, Hurmounting Sixteenth street and overlooking the city. The very gut ter outside tho splendid mansion ran redolent with the choicest ju'ucs of the grape. There was wine, wine everywhere, but not a drop to drink, not ono goblet of the stuff wa? used to slake thc thirst of thc company, num bering ?oro than one hundred pert-ons who saw tho sparkling beverages gurgling along thc pavement into tho open sewev. It was such a scene as would have made Omar Khayyam weep and many bibulous men cry out with sorrow. Mr. and Mrs. Henderson, who some lime bcoamc members of the Iodepcn I dent Order of RechabiteB, were empty ? ing their spaoious wine cellar, stock ed with every drinkable that the pal j ste could wish for. They were breaking the bottles and jugs and al ' lowing their oontents to run into the - murky waters of the Potomac. For years Henderson Castle, the gorgeous brownstone residenoc of the former Senstor from Missouri, has been known as the most hospitable homo in Washington. It had been the eoene of many receptions and many besutif ul repent?, where gather* ed the distinguished of politiosl and sooisl life of Washington. Always on these occasions the choicest product of the vineyard was served, and glass es clicked merrily as the guosts drank to the health of tho genial host and his wife. Mr. Hendorson came to Washing ton as one of Missouri's Senators dur ing tho period following the civil war. He was tho last Republican Senator from that State prior to the election of Senator Warren, one of Missouri's present Senators. He was wealthy and after his term of ornoo expired oonoludedto make hiB homo in Wash ington, and erected one of the hand. oomeBt roeidenoes in tho city. Mr. and Mrs. Hendorson have entertained lavishly, . About turee years ?gc a ohsnge carno over them. They became con vinced that wine is a mooker and that streng drink is raging* Both joined tba Independent Order of Reohabitos, a'id an organization known SB the John B. Henderson Tent waa named aftetf the distinguished convert to temperance. Aftor that the wine cel lar was looked, but the key was not thrown in the well. ? Mr. Hondo rsc e kept wondering what he would do with tho elaborate supply of wines and liquors whioh the cellar contained. His conscience dic tated that ho should net give it away, ' and he Boomed to sell it, and yet he resolved that ho could not keep it. Finally the decision was roaohed that the costly beverages should be de stroyed. Accordingly he invited more than a hundred members of John B. Henderson Tent and of Onward Tent, of whioh Mrs. Henderson is a member, to come to Henderson Castle and SB eist in the destruction of these costly drinkables. . ?a a prelude of the work there waa a meeting of the two tents in the par lors of tba Henderson home, and a committee waa appointed to go into the cellar and bring ont every drop of the intoxicating beverage and pour it into the street. Case after osse of ehampsgne, bottle af Car bottle of im portedD whiskies, brandies, oordials, oooktails, bourbon, sherry, port ola. - et, burgundy and liquors of all sorts wero brought Ifoxth. Soma of the demijohns and bottles wera covered with cobwebs and the dust of many years, testifying to the quality of their contents, but none of these were spared. A stalwart Rechabite seized the first bottle and orashed it against a huge boulder on the spacious lawn. Its sparkling oontents flowed out np* on the greenswards Another and another bottle was broken, the de stroyers not taking the trouble to pull the corks. Soon there was a puddle of wine, and as the breaking of bottles and jugs became faster, a tiny stream of mixed drinks began to flow into the street. In a little while it became .A Scotti Emulsion ?o?4i$re?rt street, ?- :/*?? 'yortc . .-foe *aA fi*a; ?Il droggUu.

Still thc encunen of strong drink kept at their work of destruction, and as they did HO a rich tantalizing aroma arose fiom the surging rcvulet. Hut there was no halt in the proceedings until thc last decanter had been brok en and its contents added i<< tho stream of royal booza. The !!. elia bites were getting revenge good and plenty upon Johu Barleycorn and all of his relativas. Aftor tho ceremony thc company having satisfied themselves that thc cellar was empty, calmly watched the last drop draiu into the sewer and then returned lo the mansion, where there was a program of song and speech making. More than a thous and dollars' worth of wines and liquors wore destroyed. Money Mystery Cleared. Washington, D. C., May 29.-Se cret service detectives have just clear ed up a money mystery that has been worrying the sub-treasury officials of the department at Washington for several -weeks. Some time ago the Sub-treasurer at Chicago discovered that all the bills of large denomina tion ooming from tho oollector of cus" toms at Detroit bore the names of business firms in ink. Whethor it was some now advertising scheme or the deliberate work of some person with an ulterior objeot in view could not bo ascertained. The Statute pro hibits the printing, writing or imprcs. Bing of any characters upon Unele Sam's money, and the incoming of thc marked bills continued and the Secretary of the Treasury handed tho case over to Chief Wilkie, of tho Se cret Servioe, to run down. Agonts of Mr. Wilkie's bureau visited Detroit, where tho bills came from, but for some time no clue could be obtained that indicated either the perpetrator or the objeot of the work. No bills of less than $50 were marked with the sameB of tho business firms, and all the concerns "mentioned" on the faces of the bank notes were engaged in the foreign trade. Names of hous es transacting c local business exclu sively and having so dealings with the collector of the customs nevor ap peared on tho greenbacks. It was ob served, also, that the name? were all written in the same hand. When the Seoret Servioe men interviewed the managers of the firms whoso names were found on the monoy, all of them professed ignorance of the proceeding. Most of them were conversant with the law forbidding suoh treatment of good money, they said, and tho most soarohing investigation mado in the oounting rooms of these concerns re sulted in no light. The oolleotor of customs at Detroit said that he knew nothing of tho strange handwriting; all he could vouch for waa that when the money was received from the buainess houses, it bore their names. At last, however, the mystery was ole ar ed away. The olerk of one of the importing ooncerns happened to remember that when he made a pay ment at the collector's office, using a hundred dollar bill, the cashier who reoeived the money wrote something on tho oornor of the note. The Secret Servioe mon at onoe interviewed the cashier at the oolleotor*s office, and he shouldered 411 the blame. He was new in the job, he said, and wai not very familiar with big bills. There fore, in order to proteot himself if any of them should ever prove to be counterfeit, he made it a rule to mark every bill of $50 or more, with the name of the man from whom it was re oeived. The oollector of Customs and the Seoret servioe men had a short heart to heart talk with that young cashier, and suggested a better way to identify big bills as io take donn its check numneron a separate slip of paper. The name of the last holder of the hill could very easily be placed opposite the identification number, they told him, in tho event of trouble ho oould be just as well protected as though he had written the name of th? ooncern all over tho faces add basks of tho billa. The cashier prom ised tc follow these instructions to the letter and tho,/ mysterious marking of large billa bas ceased. ? . '.. " mm '...

Speaker Cannon is $6*0 richer by rea son of the forgetfulnesB of h's Bon-in law, E. X. Leseuer, who, as the joke is on him, hasn't the courage to ask "C?cle Joe" for a return of the mon ey. Mr. Lescuer, like his distinguish ed father-in-law, is a banker in Dan ville and makes his home at the Cau non residence. One day wliile the Speaker was away, cither by accident or design, he wore to his office a pair of "Uncle Joe's" trousers. That night at his club :i friend paid him $<>0 in throe ?'JU notes, which he carelessly pieced in one of the hip pockets of his father iu-law's belongings and then forgot all about thc money. Upon ''Cuele .Joe's" return a lew days later he donned the garment which Mr. Lescuer had been wearing and, reaching around into the pis tol pocket, discovered the three $20 bills. He at once suspected what had happened, and at the breakfast table accused his son-in-law of wearing his trousers during his absence. "Why, you are very much mistaken, Mr. Cannon," exclaimed Mr. Lescuer. "J. don't have to wear your clothes! I have several suits of my own." "(?uite true," returned the Speaker, "but I know you have been saving yours and wearing mine, while I have been away. You ought to at least a9k the privilege." "You aro certainly very much mis taken, and I don't seo why you should accuse mc of such a thing,'' said the son-in-law, beginning to be sensitivo over thc matter. "Ob, it's all right, Eroost," replied the Speaker, "I simply found $60 in the hip pocket of these trousers, and I know 1 didn't put it there. But as you say you haven't worn them, I sup pose, of course, you didn't put it there, BO I'll just keep it, anyway." And ho did. Mr. Lescuer was in Washington re cently, and rclnotantly admitted the truth of the story, which Unolc Joe hod been telling with great glee. "If I ever wear the Speaker's trou sers again I'll bo mighty careful to rc move all tho lose change," he told hi friends. A Persuaded Prisoner. Tho resourceful man is the one who succeeds. There is a Deputy Marshal in Alabama who docs not let any such trifles as extradition laws stop him. A writer in the Washing ton Post tells a Btory of one of his achievements. When the term of oourt was about to begin one time, a man who was out on bail waa reported to he enjoying himself over in Geor gia. Deputy Jim went aftor him. The next day he telegraphed the Judge: "I have persuaded him to oome." A few days later he rode into town on a mule, leading his prisoner, tied up snugly with a clothesline. The prisoner looked as if ho had seen hard aervice. "Why, Jim!" exclaimed the Judge. .'You didn't make him walk all the way from Georgia, did you?" "No, sir," replied Jim. "I thought not," said the Judge. "No," responded Jim. "Part of they way I drug him, and when we oome to the Tallapoosa Uiver he swum." mi a - The Point of, Resemblance. At the Grsot family dinner recently held in iNew York Major General Frederick D. Grant made a little fun at his own expense. He was to speak at a large dinner in town, and the toastmaster, in in troducing him, touched gracefully on his illustrious father, and said that ho olosely resembled hita. This had an excellent effect on the people proBcnt, and they gave Major Gen eral Grant their best attention. "But," tsid be, "although I spoke as well as I oould I felt that everyone waa disappointed in tne, and I sat down with relief that it waa over. "The toastmaster rose and smiled at me. Then still smiling, be ad dressed the guests: " 'Didn't I tell you be was just like bis father? He can't speak worth a cent." Not Such an Katy Matter. "These snoes will be all right," said the salesman, "after you get them broken in." The young man, .who bad been hesitating between that pair and one a site larger, took tbe salesman's word for it and purchased the shoes. A week later ho came back to tbe atore with a perceptible limp? "I wlsb you'd stretch thoso shoes," bo said. "They burt my feet terri bly." "Haven't you got them broken in yet ?" asked tbe salesman.

"Why, do you believe kissing is dangerous V" asked the man. "It depends on what you mean by dangerous. If you mean to ask me whether I am afr?id of microbes I can say that I am not. I bclicvo a great deal of thia microbe and germ talk is absolutely ridiculous. As far as catching microbes is concerned, I shouldn't hesitate for a moment to to" "To permit that sweet mouth of yours to be kissed by the right mao," he suggested. "Wei!, if you want to put it that way you may," she returned. "Hut I wouldn't put it that way. May I show you how I would put it ?" "I am waiting for you to do so." Ile goally placed one hand against the baok of her poised head, placed tho fingers of his other hand very tenderly under her pretty chin, then with a deft movement, which aB far as she was concerned waa absolutely painless, tilted her face upward, and bending forward completed tho pro cess with an ease and naturalness that left her with absolutely no cause for criticism. After it was all over he asked : "Won't you tell me why you joined the anti-kissing club ?" " Because-beoause," she sighed, "there is such a thrill, you know, about anything that, would get you into trouble if it were found out and then it gave me a chance to intro duce the subject, too."-Chicago Re oord-Herald. Not So Poor. The traveler through a part of New Hampshire whore the stones seemed to be especially thick stopped to com ment to her driver on a man who was at work in a field the surface of which was a little more than a mass of stones of all sizes and shapes'. "Yes, Jake's having a hard time of it," said tbe driver, who apparently knew every one in that region. "He's been at that field now for two years, ol? V on. The wall all came out of the ground, as you might say, and yoa can see there's still consid'able mate rial to work on." "I should think he'd be perfectly discouraged to own such a pieuo of property," said: the traveler. "Oh, he doesn't own it, ma'am, Jake doesn't," said tho driver, hastily. "Jake iso't so poor as all that. It beloogB to Squire Faraum, and he's hired Jake to clear it, that's all." Youth's Companion. A Habit With Him. There was & business man in a little western town who never had a good word for anybody. Every one held him in more or less fear, and many disliked him strongly. He mads so effort to cultivate friendships, and at one time or another almost every in habitant of the village had had a quar rel with him. One day the old lion tried to board a train whioh did not Btop. He was thrown a great- dis tanoe and fell in a heap On the traok in the rear of the departing train The group of villagers on the depct platform thought that their heredita ry enemy had been killed before their eyes, and were ready to drop all their bitter prejudices at the grave. One ran np to where the fallen monarch lay, and, seeing signs of returning life, anxiously asked : "Aro yon hurt, Captain ?" With the first' short breath the fallen man was able to draw he gasp ed: "Ko, you damed old fool 1 That's thc way I always get off a train." Kansas City Times* ' NO EXCUSE FOR CATARRAH.

Wait for Hunger Good Advice from Evans Pharmacy as to How to Create an Appetite. Any physician will tell you that it is unwise to eat unless one io really hungry. It is far better to miss a meal than to eat without appetite. But do not take a tonio, stimulant, or appetizer to make you hungry. Evans Pharmaoy say that the best way to creato an appetite is to restore the digestion to health by the use of Mi-o-na stomach tablets, a reliable remedy that they have with the best of satisfaction. When Mi-o-na is used, the irrita tion and inflammation of the stomach coating will be soothed, the gastrio follicles will be strengthened so that they will pour out the natural diges tive fluids with regularity, and the food you eat will be perfectly digested without distress. A large box of Mi-o-na stomach tab lets is sold for 50 cents by Evans Pharmaoy, and it is so successful and reliable in ouricg indigestion and other stomach troubles, with the exception of cancer of the "tomaoh, that Evans Pharmacy sell it under a guarantee that the money will be refunded un less it does all that is olaimed for it.
