All last fall and winter Mr. Arnold
wan engaged in scouring America for
something to show the people that
could not be seen elsewhere, and how
well ho. lias succeeded is evidenced by
tin fact that he will take away tomor

single individual. He has novelties
from every section of the glob.', many
of them not only interesting from an

foot, iind declared that they were
going to continue the journey all the
way across the continent to Oregon
on foot, if possible, otherwise, to
walk as far as possible and then buy
mules to complete the trip. She asks
for any information obtainable about
this unusually large family.

Paying a visit of insoectlon nnn dT
to a luge English school, an Inspector
found a teacher exercising a class Id
the subject of definitions. Oue Inter
rogation nut to them seemed for a
moment a rare pasile. The question
wast "What is tvetotallsm?"
At last oue tluv slrl. whose tilnehed
face and shabby clothes bespoke hard
times at home, put up her hand, and
cried out: "I know, teacher I"
Both teacher and visitor felt a lump
rise lu their throat as the answer
came, iu a thin, piping treble:
'Tuetotalisiu means bread and
butter. '
With tears welling in her eyoa, the
teaclior said t
"You must explain that"
And the small damsel promptly ro
plied: "Because when father's teetotal, we
get bread and butter, and when he Is
not we have to go without. "Chris

The Demon In the Drink.
Lndwlg Sudlayzk, who killed Mrs.
Charles Heffner and shot her husband
partialis fatally, iu Cleveland, was
drunk when he did it. When sober he
fas a hard working man and peaceable
oltizell.
William Hooper Young, who is
charged with the murder and fleudlsh
dinniemberment of Mrs. Pulitzer, oue
of tho most hideous crimes in the
ixilice records of Now York, said to
tho detective who .took him in
custody, that drink had got htm into
the't rouble. Sober, ho was a dutiful
sou and a useful mouther of society.
Five well-Known Facte.
They never open a saloon with
prayer.
You can nevur call a saloon a drug
store, but you can call some drug
stores saloons, and hit It.
When the saloou-keeper won't trust
a au for glass of beer, it a high
time for thn grooeryman to do a cash
business.
A moderate drinker Is worth a
thousand times luoro to the devil for
destructive puriocs than an out and
out drunkard.
To say, "I can drink or let it
alone, " is about as wise as to say:
"lean drive uails In a lion's tail,
and get away before he rim grub mo. "
You can let it alone before Tou have
formed thu habit, but afterwards you
iiiuy find it impossible.
Fruits of the SeJoon.
A salesman, who frequently came
lo Hridgeton and wits well kuowu
among the trade here, hud a horrible
death recently.
He weut to Tuckahne, filled up
with liquor at one of the licensed
Wilis. ns of the placv, and then lay all
night in his wagon without any
covering, his brain so badly befuddled
br the distilled product that ho did
not know what be was doing. The
next night he died from the joint
effects of rum and exposure.
This was not caused by a Iiridgetou
saloon, but the temptations and effects
are the same everywhere, aud It
serves to point a lesson. Hridgeton

Now it is reported that the Modocs
