ggepHEY can't push it into me
that wood alcohol kills every
body that goes up against
it. -aid a man who has soldiered both
in the army and the navy. "It isn't
the kind of booze that I'd pick out
if I had my choice, but there's plenty
of corked up stuff that's worse than
wood alcohol.
"That vino that you get down in the
Philippines, for one thing. I'd rather
• lrink Btraightottt wood alcohol any day
than the vino we used to lap up, for
need of something better, down around
.Mindanao.
"Wood alcohol doesn't make a man
mean and mussy. It just stretches him
out. iiuuk and businesslike, and be
done with it. But take four drinks of
that Luzon vino and you'll dig your
way through nine miles of jungle to
bite your little sister. And a vino
head, compared to the come-to of a
wood alcohol souse, makes the wood
alcohol next morning seem like a
mt ride in a merry-go-round
with your steady. I've had both, and
I know.
•When it comes to that, I'd rather
lick up enough decent wood alcohol
to get that busy and prosperous feeling
than to toy along with Mexican mes
cal. Queer stuff to fool with, mescal.
'When you get good and brined up
on that all you have to do, three or
four days later, when you think you're
sober, is to juggle your head right live
ly from side to side and there you are,
■with a jag all over again. Lakes to
linger around your system and givs
you your moneys worth, mescal.
"Some of that rum made out of mo
lassas that you get in the West Indies
would make a jack rabbit spit in the
face of a jaguar. And. what's worse,
it burns outside as well as in.
Tough on the Mustache
"You can believe it or not, but there
was a corporal at marines with our
outfit at Guantanamo who got hold
of a pot of that blackjack rum one
night, and the next morning his mus
tache was burned to "within a quarter
of an inch of his face, and its color
had turned from brown to a sort of
sandy, at that. He swore that the
rum. some of which trickled over his
mustache had done it, and nobody
who'd been up against that treacle
rum doubted him.
"There's sake sold for half a yen
a quart in Japanese ports that'll make
a man rob his own ditty box and then
blame it on his own hammock mate.
Tricky stuff, too, that harbor sake of
the swipes breed.
"Tastes something like Rhine wine,
nnd goes down as easy as the cambric
tea. your aunt used to give you when
you were a kid. But just when you're
ining to believe that the world's
pretty soft, after all, for a man that
understands how to live in it. zip!
you're gone, and then you slink off by
yourself and study up schemes to get
your most intimate shipmates into
deep trouble. There isn't any
more vindictive tonsil oil on earth than
that rice juice of the Japs, once you get
pickled right in it_
"Hut what I started to say was that
! alcohol has different effects upon
different people. I've been swaddles
and shipmate?, on land and sea, with
fellows who were immune from what
U re <:illin R wood alcohol pol
around here now. They could drink
wood alcohol like a Houston street
panhandler breaking into barrel house
dippers that sell for 3 cents a ladle,
and when they'd come out of it they'd
just give their trousers a hitch and
then try to wheedle the cook into
handing them slum or scouse out of
mess hours.
Chug Mooney's Bun
"There was Chug Mooney, an oiler
on a ship that I made a cruise on when
first I shipped with the sea soldiers.
Chug stood in with the ship's painter,
so that he had a good alcohol bun on
most of the time —not wood alcohol as
a general thing, but it came to that
once for a long stretch.
"The ship's painter, you see. carries
the keys to the alcohol tank on a man
o'-war. and he serves the stuff out for
shellac daubing, paint blistering and all
that. Men-o'-war carry the best grain
alcohol in their tanks for this work,
and if the ship's painter likes the cut
of your Jib and the set of your jury
rig: it's pretty soft for you on that
cruise, that's all I've got to say.
'"Most ship's painters, without the
Jimmy Legs or any of the rubber
jacks knowing anything about it, keep
a covered over bucket of it in their
lockers all the time for the comfort
and entertainment of their friends, and
if you're there right with the ship's
painter you can get a little ladle of it
just about any old rime you feel gum
my. To fix it right, you take your little
four fingers of it to the galley and pour
it into a tin cup, and the cook stakes
you to some coffee out of the pot that's
always standing handy.
"You can have all the highballs you
want, but if there's anything gobbier
or more actiony than a lump of dead
right alcohol that you know is right,
tossed into about half a beaker of hot
coffee and mixed around, they don't
sell it on any beach that I ever hap
pened to get the feel of with my feet,
and I've been treading around for a
long time. I've had slugs of it that
made m e feel like hiking down to the
berth deck alley and pipe-claying all
the rest of the sea soldiers' belts—al
most. I didn't do it. but I came near
feeling like it.
"The stuff warms and cheers you
right out to the ends of your ears, and
the only thing you've got to watch out
for is that you don't chuckle yourself
to death thinking of what a snap
you've got in standing in with the
ship's painter.
Th« "Puip" Stuff
"Well. Chug Mooney, the red headed
oiler, was aces up on kings and sti!l
one to draw with the ship's painter,
who was a Turk himself, and for eight
een months of the cruise Chug just
rolled around the engine rooms, on
watch and off. with the closest imita
tion of a continuous performance suds
thing ever known in the American navy.
Chug maced the ship's painter for
about a quart of the tank alcohol a day
during all that time, and he only had
to stake the cook to a littie of this per
diem in order to snag out all the cof
fee-on-the-side that he needed.
"But finally we landed for a long
soak, picking up barnacles in the har
bor of La Libertad, Salvador, where
the ship was sent to watch that Eaeta
revolution, which was like the bum
afterpiece of an Eighth avenue variety
show. We rolled and tossed around
there for months.
•The ship's equipment and engineer
stores ran low. and there was a lot of
delay in petting fresh store* down
from the Mare island navy yard. On.?
day the alcohol tank was drained dry,
and then it looked as if Chug Mooney
might be up agahist it. I'll leave it to
THE ST. PAUL GLORE. SUNDAY. NOVEMBER 20. 1904
anybody if it isn't a sad thing for a
man to have to let go all of a sudden,
or even be threatened with such i
thing, after he's had an eighteen
months' alcohol edge, without a day's
interruption.
'Anyhow, the berth deck alley ways
and such like had to be shellac daubed
for weekly inspection, and the ship's
painter was sent ashore to get hold of
any kind of alcohol that he could pick
up at the shack, of a ship chandler of
L;» Lihertad. who only kept open an
hour or so every other Thursday and
slept the rest of the time.
"The best the ship's painter could do
was forty gallons of wood alcohol that
smelled like the aftermath of a Dutch
picnic in a beer garden. The wood al
cohol was all right for the work, but
the ship's painter felt sorry for Chug,
and toM Chug so, when he got back
to the ship.
" Its that pulp stuff. Chug.' said the
ship's painter, sympathetically, and
after two slugs o' that the sailmaker's
mate'll be after sewing you in your ear
pounding bag and tying the shot to
your feet for the toss over the side.
Better wait till the stores get down
from the yard, and I'll start you going
again.'
"But Chug couldn't see it that way.
He hadn't had a drink of alcohol for
four whole hours then, and the nerve
cells of him were yelling murder for
more of what they'd been used to for
half the length of a full cruise.
"Has the juice got the Jolt —that's
all I'm after wanting to know?" Chug
inquired of his painter shipmate.
" 'As for that.' replied the painter, "it
has more than enough to Jolt you into
the bottom of Davy Jones' locker be
fore you could blow out a smoking
lamp.'
"'Out with a i ail of it, then,' said
Chug.
"The painter demurred, but Chug
pressed him. Chug followed the painter
around like a dog hunting for his mas
ter for two hours, and then'the painter
drew off a quart of the wood alcohol
and told Chug to take it and the rest
be on his own head.
"Ten minutes later Chug was down
at his cleaning station, using the Putz's
pomade on his bright work and whis
tling The Rakes o' Mallow* like a man
possessed of alj the music in the world.
He drained up that quart' of the pulp
stuff, and then the ship's painter, re
assured, fixed him out with another
quari to keep him happy through the
evening and night.
"At the call of all hands next morn
ing Chug hopped out of his hammock
whistling Go to the Devil and Shake
Yourself,' as if he had been a white
ribtoner all his life, and when mess
call sounded Le went for the cracker
hash as if he'd been marooned for a
dozen years on a guano patch in the
middle of the sea.
As Bright as an Agate
'During the next month, the stores
not arriving from the Mare island yard
Chug Mooney pase«d a good ten gallons
of that wood alcohol through the crack
in his face, and there wasn't a minute
of the time that his eye wasn't as
bright as a moss agate out of a small
boys pocket, and it was whistling he
was all the time like a lout on his way
to the fair. •
And worse than that I saw later
on another packet of the line. There
was an old shellback of a gunner's
mate named Bouquet— which, you'd
never think it of him, the terrier, al
though he called it Boekey—who went
about the ship pickled like a Chinese
shark's fin for ten days before any
body for'ard ever found out where he
got the makings of tfie soxz, for he
hadn"t been ashore, and the cox'un who
usually brought the wet dogs off from
the beach, was laying off on that for
a while, fearing detection.
"It was the sea soldier corporal on
guard at the gangway who nailed the
old gunner's mate at his source of
supply in the middle of one night, al
though the corporal never reported it
aft. Buckey was getting it out of
the recoil chamber of one of the rapid
fire guns. The recoil chamber of one
of those guns is filled with half oil and
half wood alcohol, the pulp stuff being
used because it answers the purpose
as well as the grain juice and is three
or four times cheaper.
"Old Buck had found a way to tap
it, and was drawing it as needed, to
k*»t»p his edge from dulling by contact
with the gray fogs of the north Pa
cific, where we were then stationed.
He had ■ way of settling the oil at
the bottom of his pan and drawing
the pulp alcohol off into a bottle.
"The aKohol taaied some oily, of
course, besides carrying its own smell
and tang in the mouth, but Buck told
me after it was all over, one night at
the gangway as we smoked, that he
had never enjoyed a ten day bun so
much in his life as he did the one he
got out of the recoil chamber of that
gun.
'Tin not advising anybody to go in
for the pulp stuff as a beverage to go
with meals, or even for a steady thing.
I'm only holding out for it that there's
worse paint than wood alcohol."

Sausage, Barthoid's Favorite Sunday
Dinner, Proved Timely Weapon
NEW YORK. Nov. 19.—"Tomorrow I
will dine like the kaiser," joyously
mused Fritz Barrhold, as he plodded
from Newark toward his home at Ce
dar Grove, N. J.. Saturday ni«hL
The road was lonely, but Barthold. a
husky farmhand, seemed to be prepar
ed for attack. As he walked he swung
what seemed to be a bludgeon, about
as big around as your wrist and as
long as a policeman's club.
"With It sauerkraut I will have for
dinner." said Barthold. hungry in an
ticipation, "and to drink, plenty of the
new wine in season that makes your
head swim and makes you feet richer
than all the bankers. A prince will
not dine so well as I tomor—"
Barthold was in the shadows of a
strip of woods when a man jumped
from, behind a tree and. leveling a re
volver at the wayfarer, hoarsely or
dered:
"Hands up! I want your mone>
Thump! Bart hold with the stoat
weapon he carried struck the highway
man's knuckles and his revolver
dropped. Thump! Anather Mow on the
thief's neck and he felL Thump, thump,
thump! Bartho4d rained blows on the
prostrate fellow's head until, crying
for mercy, he staggered to his feet and
reeled away.
Barthotd had $147 which he bad sav
ed. He was taking home a fine bologna
sausage, which he enjoyed with double
appetite with the sauerkraut and new
wine he bad promised himself. Bar
thoW is very fond of bologna, but he
cannot get it to his taste at Cedar
Grove. So be bought a sausage after
going to a Newark theater.

From a Staff Correspondent
MADRID, sfov. 19.—There is no
truth in the reports which have
appeared in English and Ameri
can- papers to the effect that the Span
ish premier, Senor Maura, is going
to be sacked because he balked King
Alfonso's desire to make a triumphal
tour through his dominions in an au
tomobile. The king never contemplated
such a trip. He knows that most of he
Spanish roads are in a wretched state,
that motoring over them would be any
thing but a pleasant pastime, and he
has no wish to advertise to the world
their deplorable condition. Also he is
well aware that the Spanish people,
who are fond of pomp and show, es
pecially where royalty is concerned,
"would not take kindly to a state tour
that would necessarily be so lacking
in it. And he has too much common
sense to seek to pick a quarrel with
so important a personage as the pre
mier over a matter that involves no
question of government policy.
Stripped of all the dignity of his
position and standing only on his own
merits the king would pass muster
in any democratic community as a
sensible, level-headed, earnest young
fellow nnxious to make the best of him
self. He has been well trained for
his job. He knows that the theory
of the divine right for kings is a
dead one in these days. He is suf
ficiently well grounded in Spanish his
tory to be aware that the Spanish peo
ple are a little more prone than any
other to get rid of a king who does
not suit them. And it has b«en well
impressed upon him by the severe
course of sprouts has he been put
through that In these times the priv
ilege of doing as you please and
getting a good time out of life accord
ing to yoor own ideas is denied to a
king far more than to any of his sub
jects.
While staying: at bis villa at San
Sebastian some of the distinguished !
visitors at that resort took him oat
riding in their motor cars. After that
he naturally wished to possess one of
his own and appealed to the queen
mother who still controls his private
exchequer. She gave her consent and
Alfonso ordered a fin* Mercedes car
from Paris, stipulating that it should be
painted red and yellow, the national
colors of Spain. The 'teuf-tenf ar
rived and in it the king made several
trips through the environs of San
Sebastian accompanied only by an ex
pert chauffeur. Then he caught the
fever hard. He was on the road half
the time and the car couldn't be made,
to go fast enough to suit him.
This went on for awhile, but then
Senor Maura pointed oat to the king
that he was endangering his royal
neck. The premier's admonition, how
ever, had little effect, and the states
man then suggested to the queen
mother the advisability of using her
maternal influence. She promised to
give the young man a straight talking
to. but by the time she got around to it
the king's interest in his new toy had
waned and he had come to the conclu
sion that he could get more pleasure
able excitement out of horseback rid
ing and make a better show of himself
before the populace, for be is not
without his share of Spanish vanity.
He is a bold and skillful rider and
gave an admirable display of both
qualities at the international military
steeplechase, held at San Sebastian in
September, when he was mounted on
his favorite steed. All. He took all the
obstacles in fine style, winning several
prizes, and consoled some of the officers
whom be had beaten by presenting
them with some horses from his own
stables. At the pigeon shooting
matches, which occurred at the same
time, he established his reputation as
a first-class shot by capturing the best
prizes.
Wherever the young king goes he
shows great liberality. At the mili
tary maneuvers now under way at
Arragon he scatters money and cigars
among the troopp, and even the beg
gars, who everywhere abound in Spain,
come in for a goodly share of his
"largess." This has led to some re
monstrances from the queen mother,
whose natural economical tendencies
have been intensified by the knowledge
that in these uncertain days, with a
Republican party still alive in Spain
and Don Carlos still alive, a store of
pennies laid by for a rainy day may
prove a source of substantial solace
to a dethroned king. But the reply
attributed to Alfonso indicates that his
generosity rests on something more
substantial than mere impulse. "You
seem to forget, dear mother, that the
throne of a king cannot rest on a surer
foundation than popularity with his
troops and his people."

While he assiduously cultivates
popularity, the young king- has no lik
ing for those servile forma of bowaage
which in the old days monarchs ex
pected and exacted. Of this he has re
cently given striking examples. At
Salamanca last week the mayor of the
town and the rector of the university
kneeled before him with the intention
of kissing his hand. But he bade them
stand up, saying, "You forget, sirs, that
I am simply a king and not a d*»ity." *
After that he shook hands with them
and invited them to ride with him In
his carriage. Later, at Zamora,. th»
archbishop, eighty-two years old, knelt
before him. When urged to stand up
in substantially the same terms, the old
man replied, "As my king, it is fitting "
that I should kneel before your mujVs
ty." 'And as a good and venerable '
prelate." answered the king, "it is fttr,,,
ting that I should embrace you." With
that he gave him a hug and a kiss.
And the cheers from the spectators
that greeted him on both occasions
made it apparent that Alfonso hail
struck the right note. Those who havo
watched his conduct and the tenden
cies of his mind feel assured that when
the times are ripe for It and the dis
sensions which now divide the party
cease, h^ will seek to establish a Lib
eral ministry. Then Senor Maura may
look for his walking papers.
