that will give employment to people. Do not kick on

your door. Do all you can to beautify our town. Be
friendly to everybody and courteous to strangers and y
never forget that you are part of the town and that your
own deportment does its share in giving Astoria its char
acter. Stand by, all enterprising citizens, and be ready to
do something yourself and don't grumble or spend your
time in prophesying failures, in short. BOOST AND

property list it with us and we will sell it for you which

true, and I will be but It wouldn't be
fair I know It wouldn't, I'm so mis
erable, for Pierrot has been braver
than anyone. Gustave has. been kind
and good toame, I love him. But I
swore to lie true to Pierrot."
An hour later they met In the stone
courtyard.
"Oh, Pierrot, I am so glad to see you
baek!"
"Are you, Pierrette? I'm sorry!"
"Sorry? Why?"
"Human nature la so foolish, dear!"
"What can you mean, stupid?"
"I was wounded and lay in hospital
for a wholo week I don't know how
to tell you, Pierrette.".
"What?"
"An awfully pretty girl nursed me."
"Oh, Pierrot no!"
"You, will hate me, Pierrette, but I
forgot you."
"Only for a week?"
"No!"
"Pierrot, you are a flirt!"
"No I love herl"
"Well, I don't care; I lovo Gustave,
but I was never going to tell you,"
"What a dear old world It Is, Pier
rette; everything works out for the
best
"You mustn't kiss me, Pierrot."
"Why not?"
"You love the pretty nurse!"
'My word! I had almost forgotten !'
Once again that night Pierrot knelt
before the Saint aloner-and in tears,
and prayed for forgiveness.
"A He for her love," he pleaded.

NEW HOT DRINK.
The San Francisco Chronicle has the
following to say of the now and potent
"bum" drink in vogue there now, and
which has good, old, raw whiskey done
to a frazsle:
"Tho passing of the wine bum, a
picturesque but undesirable charac
ter, la threatened by the advent of a
new drink. Its correct name is ponce
a la Toscana, which means Tuscan
punch. The wine bums have forsaken
their "paint" and taken to the new
drink like ducks to water.
"The new beverage Is much more
potent than the tinted water which
used to he sold at the wine cellars, as
the police have discovered after try
ing to arrest some of the slaves of the
new drink. One glassful of the new
drink is a stimulant, two glasses gives
an inspiration for muslo and the most
unmusical is smitten with the hallu
cnatlon that he has Caruso beaten a
block; three bring vlstons of Tuscany
and black-eyed damsels in the vine
yards; four instil the belief in to the
drinker that he can abolish the Po
lice Department with a few blows; five
produce what the doctors at the Cen
tral Emergency Hospital call acute
alcoholism, and necessitate a week's
session in' the "D. T." .ward In the
company of wlerd beasts and insects.
It is reported that one man 'drank six,
but that was not proven at the In
quest ,
"The drink U made of coffee strong
enough to shatter the foundations of
a re-enforced concrete building, plen
ty of rum, lemon peel and sugar. The
rest of the component parts are for
chemist to discover. The Italian name
Is too much for the wine bum to mas
ter, so ho has corrupted It to 'coffee
punch.'
"The 'transformed wine bum is now
called the coffee bum by the police and
at the Emergency Hospital, where his
shattered nerves are glued together
with bromides. It's the coffee joint
and not the wine joint that will be
the disturbing center of the restored
Baritiary Coast.
"When the drink was first intro
duced by the Italians, the wine bums
turned up their noses at it. ; But since
the Are destroyed most of the alleged
wine made especially for the bum
trade, the vagrants have been driven
to the use of 'coffee punch.' It In
stantly found favor with them because
of its potency and It is probable that
the wine bum is a thing of the past."
