There are a few low lived scoundrcls

tie scheme has been laid, and in one or
two instances carried out to trap parties
who have signed the pleege. For instance
they get u person in a saloon and ask
them to take a drink of cider. It is ar.
gued that drinking cider is not a violation
Of the pledge and the invitation is accept.
ed. 1t is only after the victim gets over
a drunk that he learns that intoxicating
liquors have been mixed with the cider.
Then, Of course, the victim is disguised
with himself and naturally supposes
every one else is disguised with him, and
goes from bad to worse. A person who
will stoop so low as to use such means to
win a man back to his bad habits, simply
to secure 81 vote. is too mean to be recog-
nized in decent society. The only way
for a person to do, who has signed the
pledge, is to keep entirely away from
temptation, for enemies are watching you
