ses in wonder the celebrated Siamese twins.
1t is pair of twins. with two heads and
two pairs of arms, bat only single pair of
legs. The trunks are joined at the thighs,
the two back bones forming Y, and every
part of the children with the exception Of
this one freak of nature, Is perfect Their
sex is female, and they are both pretty little
babies, not the Gwarfed and puny creatures
that are usually exhibited. They are known
as the st. Henoit twins, having been born in
the Canadian town Of that name, The
parents are both with the children, and take
pride in exhibiting them TO the public. They
have one other child, girl two years. en-
tirely free from blemish. The parents are
twenty-six years old, their namesare Drouni,
and they can speak no English. The children
are five months old, and give every promise
OF growing to womanhood.

and consequence the election Of his

the idea that our people favor state gov

The arguments used to justify the
regulation and restriction of the sale
of intoxicating drinks have in them
the conclusive reasons for prohibit
ton. 1t is simply question of pub
lie order and economy. This is ex
actly what the friends of prohibition
have always maintained. Because
this business is the enemy of pub
lie ORDER" it ought to be outlawed
because it is destructive of economy
wastes the wealth, perverts the social
forces of a community, it ought to
be destroyed. All classes Of persons
except those who profit by wrong
and robbery, are interested to pro
mote the good end of public economy
and order.
The conclusion that such bust
ness ought TO be limited or restrict
ed, rather than outlaWed and eXter-
minated, is based on the false as
sumption that it is an evil destruc-
tive of public order and economy, and
blasting to manhood, only in excess,
and when carried beyond proper
bounds. The logic of the argument
is, only let the grogshop traffic be
confined to men Of good moral char
acter, who have been legally en-
powered, and who are restricted from
selling to miners, Indians and motor
iOus drunkards, and society has done
its whole duty in the premises. 1t
is a conclusion which is not justified
by reason or experience.

a Word to Young Men.

Your country needs you. Society
has crowns for you if you dare to be
true to the right. Posterity holds
blessings in its hands for the memory
of the young men of to-day who
have the courage to enlist on the side
of temperance and the right, and
wage unrelenting war against Alco-
hottie common enemy of our race.
Do not say you cannot keep tenn
perance pledge that is to admit that
you are slaves already to tyrant
that leads you on to certain destruc-
ton. The young man who lacks the
moral courage and stamina to sign
a temperance pledge and keep it. has
no future in this country. If we
mistake not the signs Of the times
we are advancing into an era Of
Christian civilization and enlighten-
ment when temperance shall be a
necessary condition and qualification
for all positions of honor, trust and
responsibility. We are drifting rap
idly out of an era, let us hope, when
drunken presidents, senators, gov
errors and judges were possible.
Some of you, no doubt, feel so streng
that you cannot imagine that you
need any restraints to keep you out
of dangar. Beware of too much
confidence in self. Be warned by the
sad wrecks of humanity about you.
They once felt as confident of their
power to resist temptation as you do
perhaps, but now they are slaves,
bound hand and foot by letters they
are powerless to sever. Consecrate
your energies and influence to the
cause of temperance and truth. Let
your lives be a solemn and earnest
protest against the vice of intemper-
ance, and every other evil. So shall
humanity bless you, and God will
approve you.-Std' Of Hope.

Boys in Saloons.

What a sad sight to see a boy grow
ing up in a saloon Who can predict
his future? The fumes of alcohol al
ways under his nose, the oath, the
olasphemy, always sounding in his
ear, he never hears of Christ there, he
never hears of morality there, he
never hears Of prayer there, and yet
hundreds of them are confined in
these places day and night. And yet
the people who want to break up
this traffic, release these boys, and
save hundreds of boys and men from
destruction, are fanatics! We are
only sorry that there are not more
fanatics of this sort. -ITddt Ware.

Annapolis Rum on Fire.

The temperance work at Annapolis
has assumed grand proportions, and
seems likely to sweep the city. We
take the following account of the
burning of the contents of a saloon,
from the Baltimore american, of
Thursday: ga grand Dashaway tenn
perance demonstration and whiskey
burning occurred here Wednesday
night. The temperance crusade in
augurated by Col. A. J. Bowen, the
founder of the Dashaways in Mary
land, had reached fever heat. Over
1,400 persons had signed the pledge
within thirty days, and Wednesday
license renewal day-seyen saloons
and one hotel are closed up. two
saloon keepers have signed, and one
named Gates, who signed the pledge
a week since, surrendered his stock
to the Dashaways. 1t was determin-
ed to burn it in the public market
place. A procession of Dashaway
Sons of Temperance, and women and
children. numbering about1 900, with
transparencies appropriately in
scribed, flags, banners, blue badges
and sashes, formed at $50 p. m. and
marched with music through the
streets, the liquor, covered over with
flags and bunting, being hauled in
wagon. The route of the procession
was decorated with flags and the
streets crowded with enthusiastic
people.
Visitors from other points arrived
by train and joined the procession.
A number of leading citizens joined
in the demonstration, and gala
scene was witnessed. At 1880 p. m.
the rum was burned in the presence
OF nearly the entire population of the
city. An original temperance hymn
by Colonel Bowen was sung and
prayers offered for the sacred cause of
temperance.

o, spare my child in mercy spare,

And let the child and parent live.
IT'S true he's wretched, fallen low,
From virtuous intercourse exiled,
Yet still, a mothers heart doth know

That sweetly prattled, sported free,
This hearts delight the hope and joy
