INTOXICATION.
By George Fitch. Copyrighted by !
George Mathew Adams.
Intoxication is the refined name
for drunkenness and is the only re
fined thing about it.
Intoxication is produced by
drinking alcohol in all its various
disguises. When a man is intoxi
cated his mental balance wheel is
thrown out of gear and his brain
goes joy riding. A man who is
drunk will do things which would
seem silly even to an old style leg
islature. The police records 'are
full of cases in which men carrying
a heavy deckload of highballs, have
tried to shin up a skyscraper in or
der to kiss the moon good-night;
while the coroner's records are
congested with the sad tales of;
earnest but overloaded men who
have strolled haughtily down a
railroad track and have tried to kick
a mogul engine in the headlight.
Intoxication comes in many
forms. Sometime^ it remains in
the victim's legs, making them
quarrel and go far away from each
other when they are needed by
their owner for transportation pur- i
poses. Sometimes it gets into the j
victim’s fist and makes him regard
himself as a white hope when he
comes home to his family. When 1
intoxication touches the heart the
owner weeps over the death of
Adam and has to be prevented
from embracing Indian cigar signs
on his way home. Occasionally
intoxication stays in the brain and
causes it to exceed the speed limit,
thus making its owner more brill
iant and witty than ever. There is
little hope for the man who has to
soak his cerebrum in whisky before
it will produce wisdom. Being
wise only when he is drunk, he
prefers to stay drunk all the time.
Experts differ widely over the
question, "When is a man intoxi
cated?” In Boston a man is in
toxicated when he cannot pro
nounce the names of ten Latin
poets correctly. In New York a
man is intoxicated at midnight .on
Broadway. In St. Louis a man is
intoxicated when he attempts to
step over the trolly wires. In Mil
waukee very few people become
intoxicated, but a great many
drown in the effort.
Intoxication is a good thing, be
cause it furnishes so many vacan
cies in business, thus enabling the
sober young man to climb faster.
No Calomel Necessary.

antness of taking calomel is done

medicine, yet the mosi thorough in

“Popular” Not Yet But Soon.
Up to this time 31 state legisla
tures have ratified the proposed
1 ?th amendment to the constitu
tion providing for the election of U.
S. senators by popular vote. Only
two states so far have rejected the
amendment. These being Georgia 1
.and Delaware.
In several other states one hous*
has voted favorably. Because o,
the large number of legislature^
that meet only biennially it mai
be impossible to get the approva
of the senatorial amendment b)
the requisite three-fourths volt ,
during the present year but ratifi i
cation by next year is practicall>
certain. Only five more ratifica
tions are necessary.

will be laid up from the injuries for
some time.

Health Board's fly Philosophy.
Flies in the dining room usually
precede nurses in the sick room.
A fly in the mi'.k may mean a
member of the family in the grav^.
It is better to screen the cradle
and wear a smile than scoff at the
precaution and wear mourning.
Screens in the window prevent
crepe on the doer.
If flies were as much feared as
bad water there would be less ty
phoid fever.
Flies are the most dangerous in
sects known to man: he should be
their most persistent natural ene
my.
Don't allow flies in your house.
Don't eat" where flies are tolerated.
Don't buy from a store infested
with them.
Sc-een your windows and doors;
do it early, catch, poison or kill all
that get in.
Another Old Settler Dead.
Mrs. David Hendrix died at her
home between Bolding and Fel
serithal at 9:15 o’clock Sunday
morning of congestion and was
buried at Harper Springs cemetery
Monday afternoon at 2 o’clock.
She was one of the pioneers of the
county and is survived by a loving
husband to whom she had been a
helpmate for 49 years.
The Trombone.
The trombone is the most dash
ing and impressive of all horns.
Bands can exist without trombones
just as statesmen exist without!
plug hats and frock coats, but the j
effort isn’t worth while
The trombone is a slender, re
fined toot producer, about three;
feet long in repose and about six
feet long in full cry. It is made in
two parts, one of which slides over
the other, thus producing a large
and well selected stock of tones.1
To play the trombone the perform
er must grasp the slide end of the ,
thing between the thumb and fore
finger and locate notes up and!
down its thorax with unerring ac
curacy Should he miss a note bv ;
even an eighth of an inch, the in ;
strument will resent it with aj
weird, and stock in the particular!
nand will go down eigr.t points. A i
dozen trombonists marching ahead
if a 200 lung-power band, each
nan picking a tall note out of the
zenith at the same instant as easily
tsTyCobo picks fly balls out of
:he bleachers, forms one of na ;
Lure's most impressive spectacles
The trombone has a loud clarion
mte like an Indiana orator. a,nd
whenever it elbows its way into
proceedings and takes up the
hread of discourse the fact cannot!
pass unnoticed. A bad trombonist
■an make more trouble in a band j
than Joseph W. Bailey used to
make in the Senate and can get as
much attention. But when the
trombone is well played it makes
inspiring-music, and people often
pay small sums for the privilege of
watching an expert trombonist
come out on the stage arid try to
stab the prosecenium arch with his
versatile and alarming horn.
One can learn to play the trom
bone in a few months, but not well
enough to be safe. The best from j
bonists are born and afterwards |
aggrivated by a long course of |
training, at the end of which time!
they are so expert that they cat;
travel 1 1 8 lineal feet per minute
up and down the scale a~d can
transfix a fly in full flight with the
swift flying slide w ithout missing a
beat. To play this peculiar horn
the performer must feed his face
into the mouthpiece in such a way
i that he evidently acquires an up
! per lip like a gladiolus bulb. This
j. is. the sign of tne craft arm no grip
or password is necessary.
