FTtC
A man who can probably never be induced
to join in any reform, movement even if
paid liberal salary, yesterday entered a
saloon on Michigan and asked the price of a
pint bottle of whisky which stood in the
window. Being answered that it was IS
cents he growled:
"rJl never pay it! Boots and shoes,
shingles, poultry, square timber horse shoes,
and everything else has come down in price,
but you keep whisky at the same old
figures"
He went away, but after few minutes
returned and said:
Throw in two big drinks and I'll take ne
bottle"
The saloon keeper refused; but, after the
stranger had returned the second time, he
said
81 can't reduce the price nor throw in any
extra, but I'll pour that pint into a quart
bottle, fill it up with water, and put in pep
per enough to make the whole burn the skin
off your mouth"
Begin to pouri" briefly replied the man
as he produced his money, and when he
had drank of the mixture and got his
breath he said:

you could p-put few carpet tacks into the

Somewhat Startling.
lSt. Louis Republican,

The speeches ale at the brewers ma
tioaal congress at Baltimore last week con-
tanned some interesting suggestions on the
subject of teetota!ism. Drunkenness is an
evil; of that there is no doubt. But what
will the tee o'alers say to the bold assertion
that liquor drinking is lesser evil than
water drinking? IL is daring proposition
to present in the teeth of the Murphy move
ment now so intolerantly laying down the
law; bat it is worth considering, at least, in
view OF the statements made IN support of il.
President Reuter-, in his opening address,
sad of the temperance advocates: I'VE do
not diff. n from them concerning the evils OF
drunkenness. the misch ef. the poverty and
the crime thereby engeudered we differ as
to the means TO be employed to lessen these
dep'orable re sults of intoxicatiCn. 1t is not
a moral but an intellectual difference. The
fact is before us. that man everywhere, from
the equator to the pole, will elk and use
something or other partly stimulant, partly
narcotic, which meets IN its effects Oh the
nervous system this universal craving"
MIR. Lauer, OF Pennsylvania, asserted that in
all countries where stringent liquor laws
have been adopted. the use of opium and in
junOus alcoholic drinks has been favored by
such legislation. But the most curious state
ment msde was that, while the Germans and
French, beer aud wine-drinkIug peoples, are
models of sobriety and frueality, the
Turks, who are teetotallers and
prohibitionists, are examplesof Incidence,
degradation and filth. "The Turks +"
said Mr.. Lauer, "beiDg q nation of
water drinkers, has become as a stagnant
mnrass-an offence TO civilization"
IL has been asserted before this that the
bold, aggressive and progressive peoples of
the world are the hquor-drinking nations;
sn1 those addicted To the strongest drink,
the English, the Russians and the Ameri-
cans, excel in these positive and effective at
tributes But il will stsrtie the prohibition
lists to beso plainly told that the water
drinking which they propose TO bring us to
would be a sagnation OF Incidence and
intellectual decay

JUNE.
BY LEE o. HARRIS.

Sweet May, upon her fioweTy bier,
Lies pallid now, her scepter gone,
And June, the queen OF all the year,
Has put her crown of roses on;
And round her lovely firm she twines
A zone OF hOneysuclxle vines.
Bright butterflies end beauteous things
About her sunny tresses play;
The humming bird, on trembling wings
With rapture meets her en- the way,
And, drinking kisses from her lips,
Grows drunken with the sweets he sips
The air is heavy with perfume
Where underneath the locust trees,
Or ankle deep in clover bloom,
She walks surrounded by her bees,
While Winds that follow in her train,
Go sporting through the ripening grain.
She scatters blossoms, wild and sweet,
With lavish hand along the lanes
And by the brook her rosy feet
Grow redder with the berry stains,
And buttercups, 70 see her pass,
Stand tip-tOe in the meadow grass.
She stoops in tenderness to set
Her blossoms on the tomb OF May,
And plants the fragrant mignonette
To hide the hyacinth's decay,
And hangs the mOrning-glOry vine
Wi n fiagnn cups of dewy wine.
The ros reathe fragrant sigh,
Where their sweet pseOny sisters teli;
The languid poppy blossoms lie
Asleep on beds of asphOdel;
And birds, 100 lull OF JOY 10 sing
Sit, nesting, where the jasmines cling.
And love-lies-bleeding on the spot
Where early daisies wOOed the bees
And sad, the pale forget me-not
Bends DER he dead anemones.
And fair verbenas Irvine and cling
Where crOcus blossoms met the spring.
Above the faded dafodils,
Where lilacs shed their tears in bloom.
The lily's swinging censor spills
A dewy incense Oh their tomb,
Till pOTtulacas cea c to weep,
And fold their rosy hands in sleep.
And Are1husa. by the brook,
Has put her royal purple OH,
And stands, a queen, where Caltha shook
Her golden tresses IN the sun;
And willows set their harpS atune
In songs of welcome to the June.
And bow down before her feet,
AS pilgri1' at some holy shrine,
And drink her breath with roses sweet,
AS bachGnalians drink of wine,
Till round my heart such raptures throng,
That all my soul goes out in song.
