A Modern Parable.

And II came to pass that as a GER
tain man journeyed from the cradle
to the grave, he fell among saloon
keepers who robbed him OF his mon
ey, stripped him OF his raiment,
ruined bis good name, destroyed his
reason, and then kicked him out
worse than dead.
A moderate drinker came that
way, and when he saw him be SAID /:
+" He is but a dog /; they served him
right let him die he is a curse to
his family"
And also license voter came that
way, and when he saw him he said /:
/" The brute put bail and chain
on his leg and work him on the
street"
And fanatic teetotaler came that
way, and when he saw him he had
compassion on him, and raised him
up, assisted him to bis home and
ministered to his wants, and to the
wants of his family; got him TO sign
the pledge and started on his jour
ney in comfort and happiness.
Who think you was the greatest
friend TO humanity-the saloon
keeper, the moderate drinker, the
license voter or the fanatic teetotal.
