A BURGLAR LYNCHED

DEs MONIES, Nov. 15.-In Warren
county, Iowa, about fifteen miles from
this city, Reuben Proctor, who was hav-
i1g his preliminary examination on the
charge of having fatally shot Miss Cadi-
san while attempting to commit bur-
glary on her fathers house, was taken
from the court room last evening by
mob of forty men and hanged. The
mob wore no masks and are understood
to be citizens of the township in which
Miss Cadigan lives. Proctor, knowing
that her father had sold his farm and
had money in the house, entered with a
cooked revolver. Fhe girl rushed on
him. struck down the pistol, tore off his
mask and actually drove him out of the
door. He turned and fired two shots at
her, one of the balls passing through her
breast and the other through her head.
The girl still lives, but the doctors say
she cannot recover.

Hail, hail, Thanksgiving day ,
Welcome to saints and sinners
Welcome to all, both great and small,
Thou day of royal dinners

To grace the board with one accord,
And appetites like daggers.
Who cares for Turkish wars abroad
who cares for serf or Czar2 800. p
Our Turkey lies before our eyes;
Come and attack-nurrah
With knife and fork we win the day,
A truce TO care and sorrow:
Eat while we may, Thanksgiving day
Will fade before tomorrow.
We're thankful for a host of things
Too numerous to mention:
For sweethearts true and hearts to woo
And all things worth attention.
For all and everything that gives
our lives so much of pleasure
We offer thanks. Long may we taste
Thine overflowing measure! 7'
Then hail, hail, Thanksgiving day!
Thou day of royal dinners
Nor will we care If the grim nightmare
should fright the soul within us
When day is done. Let Turkeys ghos
With the nuts and puddings and wine
In the dead of night, begin their fight.
Still-victory is thine.

The Drinking Habit

We often hear it said by those who
speak without sober thought-and the
number of such speakers is legion--that
the drinking habit is as bad to-day as it
ever was, il not worse. There are plenty
of men who claim to be public teachers
who would have us believe our great
grandfathers were sober set compared
with the present generation. In those old
times-"the good old times"--they say,
the liquor drank vas pure, and did not
produce the wretched effect, which we
witness in the case of the drinker of the
alcoholic beverages of the present time.
In short, in this, as in other moral and
social directions, they would make it ap-
pear, if they could, that society is sadly
and lamentably below the standard OF
those ancient ancestors. ls=..H. H
But be sure that nature of man has not
changed. In the matter of intemperance
as in other matters, we take more notice
of a drunken man now than was taken
when the brandy and rum decanSers were
absolutely necessary articles upon every
sideboard. In those days the man to ex-
cite deprecatory remarks was he who
failed to drink his bottle with the rest.
The man who would refuse to drink in
social gathering, was man to be avoid
ed,
The deeply rooted habit is aptly illus
trated by an anecdote related by the late
Henry Mackenzie, who died in 1881; so
the time of which he tells could not have
been SO very remote, though remote
enough to tall upon the old fathers. Mr..
Mackenzie was one of the most popular
authors of his day, as we'll as an orna-
ment of the Scottish bar.
On certain occasion he was invited to
social gathering of some of the leading
men of Edinburgh, and as the evening
wore on he discovered that he had be-
come involuntarily member of regu-
lar drinking party. The cup passed often
and all who could retain their seats must
drink. His head was not equal to the
occasion. He could not well withdraw
and he could not sit at the table, and re-
fuse to drink. At length, however, a
happy expedient occurred to him. He
observed that several of the guests had
become entirely overloaded, and had
dropped off under the table. 1t was his
only hope,i he would save his head from
a morrow's ache; so, at a favorable eop-
portunity, he slipped from his chairyand
took his place upon the floor with the
snorers He had not been long in this
situation when he fell pair of hands
feeling about his neck, as though to cast
the knot from his cravat.
"Hallo" he cried, putting up his hand,
"what are you up top"
"Hoot, mon, dinna be sKeered. Pm
only the lad that's to unchoke the neck
cloths!"
So, then, the host had made provision
for his drunken guests, and had appoin-
ted servant to look to it that they did
not suffocatel
And this is not an extraordinary case
1t was usual thing in those times. What
would be thought to-day of a gathering OF
respectable-men representing the high
est and most honorable Professionalism
Of the law, and even men of sacred calling
who should sit calmly down down to a
symposium which meant, in the outset t,
drinking to beastly lntoxication? Don't
tell us that society is retrograding in this
respect.

Iopened my eyes, and then, as if old
afraid to trust his own hearts choice, he
started to draw back, but clasped the
hand that drew back.
