I have received a rather delightful narrative from a correspondent in the Holy Land, says a contributor to the London Watch Dog. He went Into the post office and asked for ten post cards. "But, honored sir," said the Turkish official, "why should you carry on your correspondence with cards? You can write at greater length in a letter. Be sides, every one can read what you say on post cards." "I have very little to say, and they suit me better. Kindly give me ten." "But, dear worthy sir, you are not of those poor people who have to use post cards. Rather write a fine long letter." "Will you or will you not give me ten post cards?" "Honored sir, I would willingly give them to you, but I can'not." "Why on earth not?" "Because I have none. I have had none since the week before last. If you really insist upon having some, you will have to go to Joppa for them, 70 miles away." This reminds my correspondent of a visit he once paid to a post office in Damascus to ask for letters. "But, re spected sir," said the postmaster, "you had some letters only last week, and now you are asking for more." His Simple Excuse. t The Judge-The court is informed that you haven't worked for years. The Culprit-It is true, Judge. The Judge-You have neglected your family, at the same time insist ing that your wife and sons should support you. The Culprit-True again, judge. The Judge-Well what's your expla ation? The Culprit-It's very simple, your honor. I agr'ee with Dr. Woods Hutch .nson that four hours' work a day is eough for any man-and by not work-! ng now I'm trying to undo the mis hief I did so many years by working oertime. THEY FIX PIPES.

The artist and his young wife had ust returned from their honeymoon. ".hen a friend dropped in and found en laughing ove'r somnething. "Watever are you two laughing ver?" said the visitor. "Oh, it wa's jolly." said the wife. 'My husband painted and I cooked, ad thzn we both guessed what the Uis were meant for." SAYS THE OWL Merely a coincidence is what the plagiarist calls it. A miser doesn't even enjoy a joke tt his own expense. Only a very rich man can affor'd to ave things given to him. The man who loses the game is iever accused of cheating. Even if you haven't a good opinion ,f yourself, see that others have. Ever notice how deaf people rian tge to hear the things they shouldn't? It isn't a man's love for flowers that nakes him throw bouquets at him When love changes to indifference natrimony is on the verge of bank WELVE DOLLARS A MINUTE 'hat Sum In Good American Coin Is Paid Into the Coffers of Uncle Sam I by Peoria Distilleries. , As we are seeking to promote tem erance and the banishment of liquor rom our midst, and are doing so (as ar as adding "anti-saloon" territory s concerned) it might be of interest o look over some figures given by a ecular paper, in regard to the rev nue derived by the government from his traffic the past year; and from vhere it came, writes S. H. McMillan >f Effingham, Ill., In the United Pres >terian. We quote ftrom the article Lt the beginning. "The four leading listilleries of Peoria, according to a -ough estimate, pay into the coffers of Jnele Sam every minute of the day Lnd night, the year round, the sum Of '12, in good, hard, Airerican coin; ac .ording to figures made public by the ,ommissioner of internal revenue. 1111 iois and Peoria still continue to lead he list of states and cities in the mat er of Internal revenue collections; he nearest competitor to it belng New York, but Is nine millions behind t. There Is no other revenue dis rict in the world except New York hat anywhere nearly approaches Pe >rla on import duties. The total col ections for the United States for the rear ending June 30, 1911, was $322, i26,269, as against approximately '290,000,000 for the preceding year. Phis is the greatest year In the his :ory of the government since the in ernal revenue law was passed. The ,revious *high-water" mparlc being in .866, when $310,000,000 was collected, aut this was in time of extraordinary ,eeds, and resulted from extraor linary legislation. By states the leaders stand as fol' ows: Illinois, $553,000,000; New 4ork, $444,000,000; Indiana, $331,000, rerre Haute being the center of the listilling business in Indiana. 'Phere re four Internal revenue districts in Ilinois, and the revenue offices give he standing as follows: Peoria, $29,. 98,092; Chicago, $12,642,005; Pekin, 10,048,068, and the district compris' ng the balance of the state, $628,619. [he detailed figures by collection dis ricts is as follows: First Illinois, 12,642,005; Fifth Illinois, $29,998,092; Dighth Illinois, $10,255,600; Thirteenth Ilinois, $628,619; Sixth Indiana, $11, 48,068; Seventh Indiana, $20,085,315; [hird Iowa, $573,919; Fourth Iowa, ~693,973; First Michigan, $6,033,491; ~ourth Michigan, $974,094 ;First Mis ouri, $10,524,713; Sixth Missouri, $1,. '45.96; First Wisconsin, $8,383.128; second Wisconsin, $1,109,325. These tates adjoining Illinois reported the ollowing sums: Indiana, $31,133, 28.24; Iowa, $1,267,893.29; Michigan, 7,007,585.96: Missouri, $12,4170,680.53; Jebraska, $2,773,308.66; Wisconsin, 9,582,454.31. These figures from the gover'nment eports tell their own story and from hem you may draw your own conclu ions.

Addison Mizner, in an address on menticult e, said in Chicago: "Ours is a frivolous land, but it is nothing like so frivolous a land as Bel gium. I'll never forget my first visit to the bathing beach at Ostend. "On every side I saw young girls In b oys' bathing suits-tight, flimsy, one aioce suits, sleeveless and skirtless. These young girls wore no stockings. As they sauntered to and fro on the white and sunlit beach, they looked -I frankly admit it-charming; but what a frivolous view of life, what a neglect of menticulture, their dress in dicated." Mr. Mizner smiled. "A young lady, beautifully clad In a Poiret gown," he said, dropped some ,hig as she passed me on the Ostend Sands. I y'eked it up and hurried after her. "'Pardon, mademoiselle,' I said in my best French, 'but you have dropped your glove.' "She took the tiny object, and, smil ing and blushing, she replied: "'Merci, monsieur; but this Is not my glove, It is my bathing suit."' MEAN.

I continued to take it.' and while I realized my heart was damaged so I could not expect a permanent cure, for fiftecn years I worked every day.. not withstanding I had been told I would never work again. In July, 1911, I was taken with rheumatism again, and It went to my heart as before. I got so bad that one of the Albary papera wrote up my life and said I could not live but a few hours. I again took Dr. MIles' Heart Remedy with very satisfactory results, and have not missed 'a day at business or in the legislature since Janmary.
