Wives into Barkccpers.
[ From e. 7. tAmphClIs Lecture at MaysfCld KY
Some one asks how the barrooms can be
closed. BarroOms arc not kept for amuse.
mcnt There Is not man in the State who
would keep bar If there was no hope for
profit. Let every man who has brains enough
TO attend to his own business determine not TO
drink at II bar, and the bIr.roOm will soon be
closed. Men who are ashamed of their habits
Of drinking, and who must have screen to
hide them, will not often have an opportunity
to drink elsewhere, and ono great step In the
tempcrauce reform will have been taken.
Barkecpcrs in this city pay, on an average,
- per gallon for whisky. One gallon con-
tains an average of ilily.iive drinks, aud at ten
cents drink, tho poor man pays $3.50 per gal
lon for his whisky. In other words he pays
- for the whisky aud $3.50 to q man for hand.
ing Il over the bar While II would be better
for all not to drink, some men will have whis.
ky and my advice To them is this: Make
your wife your barkCupcr. Lend her So to
buy gallon of whisky for n beginning, aud
every time you want u drink go to her and
pay ten cents for il. by the time you have
drank gallon she will have $3.50, or enough
money to refund the i! borrowed of you, to
pay for another gallon Of liquor, and have a
| balance of $40. She will be able to conduct
| future operations on her own capital, aud when
YOU become an incbriatc, unable to support
yourself, stunned and dcspiscd by respectable
| people. your wife will have enough money to
| koup you uItil you get ready to I'll II drunk
ards grave. But had you paid all this money
TO barkcCpCr, he would not have given Il
| cent to bury you, or u crust of bread to keen
your Ch ldrCn from starving.
Few people ever stop to calculate the cost OF
dram drinking At ten ccutS per drink. ono
drink per day will cost $500 per year, two
drinks per day will cost S7l three drinks
SlG1S0, and four drinks Sli6 per year. A

said he, II only receive 5000 year, aud with

4 slight calculation for me- aud then asked
him how often he drank at u bar, His aver
age was three drinks per day, which, by hi,
own calculation, amounted to SlO9.5D, OI
enough to have paid both principal and inter
est of the note, amd Il vc Il 80 lett. lie wa
