One Days Experience in Canvas
sing.

If you want to know just the con-
dition of public sentiment in any
community on the temperance
question, canvass that community
with petitions, asking for protec-
ton from it's evils, and you can sat
isfy your inquisitiveness on that
subject,
| canvassed the town in which |
live, and other communities, about
year ago, with the petition that
was sent up to the Legislature last
winter, and then a few days since
canvassed the same territory for a
similar purpose, and [ had good
opportunity to mark any changes
in the sentiments of the people.
And | want to say for the encour-
agement of temperance people that
| found a growing sentiment in ia
vor of Prohibition. This l deduced
from the following facts:
1. 1t was much easier to get per-
sons to sign the petition than it
was year ago. They seemed to I'M
derstand the motive better.
2. There was a larger per cent.
of the persons solicited who signed
this yearthan last.
3. Men who positively refused
before signed it willingly this year.
A. Where meetings have been
held and the FREEMAN is read were
the easiest places to get signatures.
These facts give me much encour-
agement to believe that if the pro-
posed Amendment is submitted to
the people it will carry by a large
majority.
It was quite amusing to hear the
reasons CD assigned by those who
refused to sign the petitions. These
represent different classes. There
was the non-committal class. Were
in favor of temperance, but believed
they would not sign it noaO. Would
put you off the easiest way they
could.
Others, more honest and truthful,
would come out and acknowledge
the corn" that they "liked the crit
ter" and they wanted it made and
sold.
Another class did not want to
sign away their liberties, they were
freemen and would do as they
pleased.
This kind of liberty means to
drink when you please; the worst
kind ofslavery.
Ore man said he would sign it if

was mislaid.-ED.)
r. R. SMAsH-UP.- On last
Wednesday at Central Station, sew
eral cars loaded with merchandise

stoned the accident.

we would make it United States
law, and sweep it from the country
at single blow.
IfIcan't kill a snake at one blow
I will hit him again, and keep on
hitting HIM till shutdown, to see
that his tail dies as well as his
head.
Another man would not sign it
because he said, "whisky never did
him any harm" Said |, "Do you
not want to keep it from hurting
any one else? If you should see a
man killing himself or his neigh
Dor would YOU not interfere and try
to prevent it ?" "No," said he, IF
| saw one that was such a fool as
to cut his own throat, | would let
him whack away"
l despaired of making any moral
impression on him, and got away
from him as quickly as possible,
thinking of Gains Gam my broth
er's keeper"
The climax of these reasons CD
was from tall, gangling fellow
from the rural districts. When ap-
preached on the subject he replied
in a snarling way, "No; we have
too many bad laws now" He snap
ped like one of the canine species
in paryoxisms of hydrophobia, So
I thought there must be dog
somewhere behind these feelings
and inquired, Pray, sir, what very
bad laws have weep "They make
me pay fifty cents for keeping my
dog" and l left him.

A fact probably but little known is
that the United States nickel fve-cent
piece furnishes a keyto metric measures
and weights. This coin is two cent?
metres in diameter and its weight is five
grammes. Five of them placed in a
row will give the length of decimetre
and two of them will weigh deca-
gramme. AS kilolitre is a cubic metre,
the KEY of the measure is also the key
to a measure of capacity.
