Max Takes Tonics

Max is sick and his doctor prescribes a medicine, and the dose is a Bordeaux wineglass full. Upon his return to his home the only glass Max can find is one that holds about a quart, but it's marked "Souvenir of Bordeaux;" consequently he drinks his tonic at one gulp and becomes marvelously inebriated. Wending his rather unsteady way in the street, he has an altercation with Don Brigands, the Albanian ambassador, and they exchange cards, hoping to meet in a duel the next day. He has the same experience with General Snobsky, of the Army, and Mr. Catchem, Commissioner of Police. Being unable to navigate further, Max hangs himself on a lamppost, where he is discovered by a policeman who, finding the Police Commissioner's card, carries him to the latter's address, whence he is promptly thrown out. He falls into the arms of a second policeman, who carries him to the home of the Albanian ambassador, where he meets the same fate. Finally he is carried unceremoniously to General Snobsky's quarters and thrown out of the window. The three officers of the law who have recently helped him to his various homes, catch him as he falls and, each desiring to take him in a different direction, they finally get into a terrific altercation, in which Max gets decidedly the worst of it.

Women of the West

While due credit must be given to those women who have, by their wisdom, counsel and support made our domestic conditions what they are to-day, the wonderful prosperity of the United States as a whole is due to the extraordinary resources of the west, and therefore the places of honor in the niches of history rightfully belong to the women who so nobly assisted in settling and populating the great west. Stop and reflect what fortitude those women showed in venturing into the unknown wilderness, what heroism they displayed, surrounded by hostile Indians, and sacrificing their lives to eventually benefit all mankind. History is replete with the many instances of those acts, but mere words can but poorly represent to the mind the details of the exact incidents. To be able to view the actual occurrence cannot but indelibly impress upon the mind what we really owe these women pioneers. To see the simple life of these people, their sports, pleasures and hardships, and how, when the men folk are attending a country election, the red men take advantage of the situation and pillage and burn their homes. But better still to visually observe how these women, reared to danger, bravely protected their lives and property and also the wild rides of some of the women to warn their neighbors and bring the men to their rescue.
