TIE LITTLE SHOES,

Some months ago-I need not mention where
There was a meeting in a temperance hall
And many workingman assembled there;
Among them sat man, well dressed and tall
Who listened anXiOusly to every word.
Until one near spoke to him thus:
Come William Turner have never heard
How that you changed so much; so tell us
Why you gave up the public house. All! few
I'm sure can tell so strange tale as YOU"
Up rose William at the summons
Glanced cOnfusedly round the hall:
Cried with voice of deep emotion.
The little shoeS-tAey did it all!
" One night on the verge of ruin,
As hurried from the tap,
beheld the landlords baby
Sitting in its mothers lap.
80 Look dear father said the mother.
Holding forth the little feet;
Look, we've got new shoes for darlingl :.
Don't You think them nice and neat?
fe may judge the thing is simple
DiSbelieve me fyou choose:
but, my friend. no fist e'er struck me
Such blow as those small shoes
" And they forced my brain to reason;
What right, said l, standing there,
Have to clOthe anothers children.
And to let my own go bare?
" 1t was in the depth of winter
Bitter was the night, and wild:
And outside the faring grog shop
stood my starving wife and child.
Out went, and clutched my baby.
Saw its feet so cold and blue;
Fathers! if the small shoes smote me
What did those poor bare feet do?
Quick thrust them in my bosom:
On they were so icy chill!
And their coldness, like a dagger
Pierced mel can feel it still.
OF money had but trifie,
Just enough to serve my stead;
1t bought shoes for little baby
And single loaf of bread.
That loaf served US all the Sunday.
And went to work next day;
Since that time I've been teetotal-
That is all I've got to say"

A NEW WAY TO COLLECT WHISKY TAXES
In Mississippi plan has been propossd
for collecting money to run the State
government which is claimed to be much
superior to the Mofistt whisky register now
in operation in Virginia. Books of coupon,
would be sold by the Mississippi State
auditor to all liquor dealers. When the
drink is sold the consumer receives a
coupon, which entities him to receive from
the State in payment of his taxes one cent.
II TWO drinks are to be paid for he receives
an orange colored coupon good for tive
cents. If FIVE drinks blue paper good for
hve cents. Not only would the State eniov
an income from the tax on drinks but tbs
consumer have reasonable chance of nav.
ing off his taxes with orange and blue
coupons Then might the saloons bs
crowded with men making out their taxes.
Who would ever have expected that the
popularity of whisky could be employed to
overcome the unpopularity of ta,ses2 The
bill after passing one house has, however.
been laid on the table in the other.
