Caused Retainer to Rtiign
.Hit Position. % ,
tell the story of Bruce M*
laskl. head of the United States secret
service, snd one of his retainers.
In the old day* ? before (ho late un
pleasantness ? the retainer might hgve
been described as a scholarly slp|>er.
Us knew the brand*, origin, habitat
and lx*adlng of every flrst-rate whisky.
When he drank he acted like one of
the old brandy tO|>ers, who have been
statutorily obliterated.
He would eye *nd ?ntfr and ritll the
old stuff around In his mouth before
the clamorous throat muscles pulled
It down, lie revered whisky. Ills sola
reading was whisky reading, He waa
not a drunkard at all. you will under
stand?merely an enthuslaetlc connois
seur of liquor.
Blelaskl had a room full of whiskies
at his Washington headquarters. No
one got Into that room, either. Kvery
time there was a raid the "stuff was
placed under lock abd key until Hlo
laskl personally superintended Its do
structlon.
The connoisseur of booze used to
mourn this wuste with tears In his
eyes. He said It was a crime, no less.
He said he Is now convinced that this
country Is barbarous, and that In Its
heart It yearns to wear beads on Its
lega nnd feathers in Its hair. Ho was
orating In this strain one bitterly cold
dtiy during the big blizzard when he
?aw Blelaskl come out of his office.
Blejaskl had a couple of quarts* of a
celebrated brand under Ms arm.
He stopped talking. Little flecks of
foam appeared In the corners of his
mouth, He begnn to dream of Tennes
see meads and Kentucky pastures. His
eyes softened and his cheek look on a
younger flush.
Then BlelnskI poured the liquor ip
the radiator of b's 'automobile, and
the enthusiast violently resigned from
the federal service. ? Herbert Corey, In

BLAME MEXICAN "HOT STUFF"
Pepper and Fiery Liquors May Havs
Something to Do With the
Troubles Down There.
I
Pepper Is the source of Mexican
revolutions, according to many people.
Hot tnmales, chilli con carrie, which
means pepper with meal: chill rel
lenas, chili con queso, or pepper with
cheese; all the other hot dishes that
delight t lie Mexican palate, ar$' sup
posed to Incite these fiery Latin-Indian
folk t<? actions that people of more,
sober mien would not onnteinplate.
Rut the bowler citizens of this coun
try place the greater blame on the
liquid refreshments indulged in by
our neighbors to the south. Aguar
diente, tequila, mescal, drinks that
rouse stormy passions in the Latin
ami paralyze the senses (if the Anglo
Saxon, are consumed hi great quanti
ties.
Tequila, father of comets, sen ser
pents, misshapen giants, juggernauts
and a thousand other monsters, is a
white liquid brewed from "bear
? grass," a desert growing plant with
? clusters of thick, hard nnd watery
? daggerlike leaves with needle points^
Mescal, a brew of cact iy^ Jpnves, is Its
companion drink, and, mixed, the very
smell will put even a prohibition en
fi>rcewe?* ?ge j>) Jj> ? c\w\\*.
Canada's Water Power.
It has been estimated b)' engineers
that the available water power In
Canada, l?oth developed and undevel
oped, Is capable of generating 18,832,
000 horsepower, of which 7,398,100
horsepower are available in populated
areas.
The utilization of this water pow
er Is rapidly increasing. During last
year the installation of plants was
completed with a' total of 04,400 horse
power. Developments now under con
struction will produce .'170,000 horse
power; and projects contemplated for
the near future will add 7HO.OOO horse
power. The waterpowers In Canada
already developed have a capacity of
2.400,000 horsepower. ' The "white
coal." that, for ages had been running
to waste, 1 8 now being made to turn
the wheels of Industry and to light
Canada's streets and dwellings.
The Noisy Guest.
William Jennings Bryan snld at his
brother's house in Llncqln :
"It Is splendid to see the good order
that now prevails at political ban
quets. There was considerable drunk
enness at these banquets In the past.
"At a political banquet one evening
tfie chairman said to a rather nn|?;y
rnest ;
" 'Fxcuse me, sir, but may I ask
your name?'
"'Morgan's me? hit ? name,' the
guest answered.
"'I mean your full name,' said the
chairman.
"The guest hiccoughed ' again.
"'It's just the same,' be 'full
' or sober.' "
The Way It Works Out.
The Agent ? Have you seen the new
ordinance passed by the city council!
It forbids rent profiteering \inder pen
alty of a hundred-dollar fine.
The 'Owner ? Yep. I saw It. Raise
the rent a hundred dollars on each
apartment, to pay the fine*. ^
Improving His Method.
Atlas was watching the proceedings
of the profiteers.
"These modern fellows," he mused,
"kno>* :? lot more about holding up
the earth than was dreati ed of In mj
jroung days."
