This sentence has been duly added to the •tone.--Golden Censor. A BUMSELLER'S EXPERIENCE. A man named Stacy, the owner of a splendid drinking saloon In New York, | signed the pledge, and closed his house Hearing that a party of lads had formed themselves la to a temperance •oolety. be gave them his experience as a ram-seller, "I have sold liquor," ( said Mr. Stacy, "for eleven years, J long enough for me to see the be­ ginning and the end of its eflests. I have seen a man take his first glass of j liquor In my place, and afterwards] IB11 the grave of a suicide. I have seen man after man, wealthy and educated, come Into my saloon,*who cannot now boy their dinner. I can recall twenty customers, worth from 0110,000. to 9600,009, who are now without money. ] place; or friends." He warned boys) •gainst entering saloons on any pre-j text. He stated that he bad seen] many a yoang fellow, a member of i some temperance society, come in with a friend, and wait while he drank MNo, no, be would" say, I never touco it. Thanks all the same" Presently rather than to seem churlish, be would take a glass of cider, or harmless lem­ onade, "The lemonade was nothing" said the rumseller." bat I knew how It] would end.

SOME IS WHO 'SOME DOES." "SEEING YOU WILL FIND IS BELIEVING.' r» £ Wf.'z An Indian on the coast can dress tmself decently and his entire costume' ill cost him but 3 "reals," or 86 cents. This suit would be a swell one in his own circle. Many wear simply a hat and a breech-cloth fastened around the waist with a twig from some tough, irrlike plant» so that the necessity of v™ leather strap is avoided. It must be remembered, in speaking of the Cen­ tral American Indians, that they have Bo blood-thirsty Apaches, but as quiet members of society as the negro slaves before the war. They all have their small patches of vegetables to fall back upon, and many never put their hand to any work except when they wish money to buy whisky and to­ bacco. Now, we have an Indian who is able to idle away his time; he walks along the road with a blanket slung •cross his back, he comes to a field off corn, and no one refuses a hungry: Indian a meal, which practically costs nothing; that is his breakfast; he goea farther along, plucks plantains in some grove, and continues along munching them. He feels no hunger; he is con­ tent; he has fed for a day and has not worked. If night overtakes him he makes a bed of dry grass or leaves and wraps himself up in his blanket.. This life is much preferable to monotony of steady employment. Clothed so lightly, the dampness and rains of the climate soon undermine lus constitution; he calls in the •oediciue woman, and dies under her : - '••are.' , They are natural drinkers and they do not know what moderation is; they drink until they can hold no more. The whisky of the country is alwaya Bew; it is never allowed to age, the de- jnand is so great. They drink this , taw spirit, nearly all alcohol, in such ' vast quantities that it soon kills them. Sftuch of the revenue of the govern- Itient is derived from the tax on this liquor, but it is the death of the people. jDown along the western coast if an - Indian finds himself short of money •e goes to some store-keeper and •ays; "Master, I am going to get out jpome rubber, how much will you pay r for twenty-five pounds?" The answer fe anywhere from $4 to $8. The Indian : returns in a week, receives the money, ,.s' and is able to drink and idle away his lame for a month. Or, if he regards jrubber working too hard, he has only |£> look around for the zapote tree. This has a gum or resin, resembling folasses candy, which is known in ew York and other large cities as 5 *'chicle gum," and is used by con- •••• fectioners to give that peculiar and fleasant flavor to "tutti-frutti" ice-ream. It is a very light-weight gum, T-, maJr gather so many pounu^ of ft in a day that in eight hours he has ®?oney enough to live on for two weeks, v j e 8^eeP8 UQder an open straw shelter, (,'• in heavy fogs and miasmas, breathinj P' in death vapors from the swamps, am soon passes away. Whisky is his cursfe, and, though the race is dying 11 out, it will be a blessing to the country. And no surer or happier method could have been chosen for these people than the one which they have adopted of "improving" themselves off the sur- face of the earth with whisky.-- New - York Times. I D°]by came home at midnight, went Stolidly up the lront steps, unlocked ' f"e door without a quaver, hung his Aat in its regular place, and.in a grave land pompous way, descended the base- ment steps to the furnace-room. He took the shovel from its nail, loaded it with coal from the bin, and threw the coal into the furnace with a gay, chee­ ky thuddle-duddle. Just as he was ar­ ranging the draughts, Doggus, the Blemish spaniel, crawled out from his lair under the ice-box, sat down on his haunches, and gazed reproachfully at his master; ana as great rosaries of perspiration came surging to Dolby's head, the unfortunate man murmured: "I r'membered everything on thish ace Yeptin' that it'sh shimmer time a.t ot winter!"--Sfitwei ALT0O3PF' fitROXHERS ON wm- AT THElfc STORE BEADY TO Tb YOUR ENTIRE SATISFACTION, McHenry, HI., Aug. 1, 1888. •DLE YOR PUROBA EE iMiifiiiii JULIA STOBY, (One Door West of Riverside '•* $ ' \ '•} * -4i "(l* 'v ». 4§ % 5 ? *-*?•» j* V, ' - - \ .f !hie succeseijil merchant looks after the interests of hi* custom­ ers always, giving the best foi the least money. ; $4000 WORTS f 4 " * \ A hi It makes a difference to }ou in the course of 365 days in dealing with a firm you have confidence in and to know that you are do­ ing the best that can be done in buying the necessaries of life. • f Qualities and prices fluctuate constantly.
