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.

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

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

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

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.

Speaktr Cannon is in SQQ.
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."

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

"Haven't you got them broken in
yet ?" asked tbe salesman.
"Oh. yes," said tbs young' man*
"The tro Able is that I can't get my

The Timely Microbe.
"I have just joined the aoti-kiesing
club," said tho beautiful girl.
"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."

Joseph Jefferson was a strong be
liever in early marriages, and ho never
missed an opportunity to impress his
convictions upon young men. In cn
address at Yale once he said :
"I abominate bachelors. Thc older'j
they grow the more conceited they
become. I was talking to oue and I
asked him why he did not marry. He
parried thc question by telling me
about different young women he had
known, finding some fault with each
one. But it appeared that all of them
had married.
" 'You are in danger of getting
left,' I said to him. 'You had better
hurry up before it is too late.'
" 'Oh,' said the bachelor, 'there
are just as good fish in the sea.'
" 'I know that,' I said, 'but the

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.
