In i860 a portable home distillery was invented that sold at n big profit for Sao to $35, and was cap able of making eight to leu gallons of "spirits ' a day. The device was selling very rapidly and doing tisfactory work, when the im position of the heavy tax on alcohol. and the restriction of its manufacture to large distilleries, whnscopcratiou.s could be under the eye ol a govern ment itistK'Ctor, destroyed the busi ness of the home "stills" and they passed out of use and mind. Possibly in the administration of the new alcohol law that goes into effect next January, which is left largely to the ruling of officials, the use ol such home stills may be for bidden, but their practicability and utility remain, for those points have lent demonstrated. It can hardly be exacted however, that nil the possibilities of tins innovation will le realized at once.

Wanted to Come Hack The story is going the rounds of wo iK-ople who died mid went to heaven. Meeting St. Peter at the gate they asked to be taken thiotigh the celestial kingdom, After seeing the many beautiful sights they came to one of the finest taitsof the haven to rest. Here were a largo number of people as sembled, who looked anything but nippy. And to the astonishment of the iiewcomei.H they each had a argc ball mid chain attached to their feet. Turning to St. Peter they in quired who these people were, whether they had committed some rent crime, or why they weie found iu such a condition. St. Peter then informed them that these pople weie of the very le.st, but they came from Oregon and that was the only way they could keen them from going back. 1 his story calls to mind the one about the editor who had died, and wanted to be shown the sights of lades before he went to heaven, lis Satanic majesty obligingly granted the request and took him through. As they went the rounds they saw people suffering nil kinds f torments, and dually they came to a place that was particularly warm. Many maple were here suf fering the worst punishment of any ic Had yet seen. Looking over lead he saw n large sign iu letters of fire which read, "Delinquent Subscrilwrs." Telling Satan he would like to re main here awhile, he heated him self comfortably and fanned him self while he watched with the greatest enjoyment the sufferers iu the cauldron of fire. After u little Sautau returned and told him it was time he was going to heaven. "You go on," said the editor, ns he helped himself to a large piece of ice, 1 "This is heaven enough for me. ,' Kxchauge. Nothing If Not Original. Mr. Kditor: Can you tell me what Mrs. Duniwav means when she calls the women whom she is addressing as the "mothers of men ?" I wonder who else or what else they could bo "mothers" of, If not of men mid women ? Certainly not of birds or fish or animals. Es pecially does this remark not apply to women who claim to be suffra gists, for theie 1110 few women iu the ranks of that order, whether married or single, who are the "mothers" of anything. Theroate a few exceptions, such as Mrs. Duuiwny herself, who are mothers, but she is almost alone in a. suffrage convention. The rank and file of suffragists know nothing about the pure joys of motherhood. A suf frage convention is generally com posed of old maids, grass widows and women who are not and never intend to be the "mothers of men." Mrs. Duuiwny iu her cap.icity of president speaks of the officials who surround her as "My Cabinet." Save the maikl "My Cabinet l" After this she will be able to get 11 name for anything. Observer.

Ivditor Review: Senator Charles W. Fulton when asked what he had to say about the charges preferred : against him by Senator LnFolletere- pliel: "It is a waste of lather to shave an ass" one of the oldest aim stalest sarcasms to be louiiil lu literature. This coming from i Charley Fulton against such a man as .Senator Lahollette is unquestion ably rich. Why, you could scnic more intellect from under Lnfollclc's fingernails than is contained iu Ful ton's body. It is really amusing to hear nu Oregon mouse threatening to shave a Wisconsin lion. We'll vendue to say, however, that the mouse will never attempt the nitr ation lest the linn might accideutly lay his paw Ukii him, ludcudcut Republican.
