Uncle John VaSsar.

Mr.. J. B. Vassar gives the fol-
lowing incident in the life of his
father, "Uncle John Vassar," which
shows what conscience says on the
drink traffic.
"My father, as known to many,
was for many years in the employ
of Matthew Vassar, the founder of
Vassar College. 1t may not be
generally known that the money
with which the college was found
ed was made from the sale of pale
ale. My father was the foreman in
the business while most of the
money was being made. When he
was converted, and for conscience
sake left the business, Matthew
Vassar was very much offended,
and for a number of years would
not speak to him. A year before
Matthew Vassar departed this life
father called on him, and as was his
wont, offered short prayer before
leaving, Mr.. Vassar kneeling. l,
BOY, observed the TWO men with
uncommon interest. Never shall
l forget that at the ending Of the
prayer Mathew Nassar rose, and
with tears, laying his hand upon
fathers shoulder. said, John, you
did right in leaving the business"
This is the way things look when
life's closing shadows gather. 1t
is well for us sometimes to see our
course from the standpoint of dy-
ing bed. Was there ever man
who in his latest hours rejoiced
that be had spent his life in max
ing, selling, or using strong drink ?
Shall we do in life's course what we
would not do in life's close Chris
ttao.

The Way the Thing is Being
Done i'm Massachusetts.

AS showing the folly of longer
trifing with the wicked license
system, we clip as below from the
North okfield (Mass.) journal,
kindly sent US by DIR. L. Whiting
of Charleston, whose nativity was
in that Massachusetts, town.
Of the recent elections in the old
bay State, the writer says: The
friends of temperance and human
progress have good reason for en-
enlargement, in view of the recent
action of the towns on the license
question-33 out of 48 of them
voting "No." 1t affords a forCible
illustration of the clear intelligence
and sound moral sense of the grow
ing majority of the citizens in the
rural districts, in regard to the liq-
uor business and its baleful inhu-
ence in the community. Especially
significant was the sweeping revo-
luton which redeemed Quincy
from thralldom under the rum
power, and placed her in the front
rank Of the glorious 1873" That
town had by fair trial, fully tested
the virtues of license, but her ex-
perience with it has not proved
happy nor encouraging. The Ii
censed rum sellers, encouraged by
a subservient board of selectmen,
violated the just restrictions of the
law under which their licenses had
been NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. which,
as had been hoped. would afford
some protection to society, especially
the younger portion-while others
were of course bold to sell with
out any pretense of legal authority.
Intemperance increased, while
increasing Generalization and ruin
were in prospect, should the liquor
influence be permitted to remain
in the ascendant. But the people,
with eyes opened, and aroused to a
keener sense of duty by dear-bought
experience, have by an overwhelm-
ing majority, swept away the false
system which seeks to protect the
community from acknowledged
evils by licensing its efficient cause.
These facts certainly indicate

What We License.

FATAL SPREE.--LaSt Friday night
three negroes who were working on
the West Virginia Central Railroad
came to Deer Park to have lark.
The three colored gentlemen be-
came drunken before they left town,
Starting for their camp in a state
of intoxication at.night they were
overcome by the severe cold of this
mountain country. One of the men
was frozen to death, the second had
his feet frozen off, and the third was
pretty well frosted although not Sc
riously injured Get the better Of
whisky or it will get the better of
you.-OakLand, (Md.,) Dem.
Jim Porter and Gene Johnson,
the young men arrested for stoning
a train, were released on bond Of
$500 each. They celebrated their
freedom by getting on glorious
drunk, and now again they suffer
in durance vile.--Hiaaton Herald.
DRUNKEN Row.---There was des-
perate shooting ARRAY occurred on
last Thursday night at Games
school house. The school taught by
Richard Lutes closed on that even
ing by giving an entertainment.
There were some roughs met for the
purpose settling some old grudges
no doubt; but their brains were
first fired up with bad whisky and
hard cider, which prepared them
for duty. A young man named
Fox shot another named Berry. The
ball striking the temple, glanced
along the skull, and came within a
hairs-breadth of killing him. There
have been several arrests made,
and the parties bound over for APP
pearance at the next Court. Hin
ton Herald.
ANOTHER VICTIM.-F Frank Myers,
a former resident Of this city, was
killed by the cars at Toronto, Satur-
day night. He and his wife were
walking up the track when he was
struck by the down train, his skull
being fractured and his head badly
mashed. The whole affair took
place in the presence Of Myers wife
making terrible scene. His body
was buried by the township trus-
tees. Both parties are reported to
have been Observation-Disclosures

PETERED OUT.--We learn from
the Wcllsburg papers, that the no
ted liquor appeal cases in which
eminent counsel have been engag
ed, have finally petered out on hair
splitting technicalities so that the
illegal sellers go unhurt for this
time. The town ordinances under
which the convictions were had,
were decided irregular. Let the
Council at once provide the remedy
and at them again.

About Ignorance.

There were in the United States in
1880, according to one Of the late CEN
sus bulletins, 36,761 COZ persons of
ten years Of age and upward. OF
these, 1928, AL, or little over thir-
teen per cent, were returned as UNI
able to read, and 6,239, 1858, or seven
teen per cent, as unable to write. The
proportion of illiteracy may seem high
for a country which boasts of its free
and general education, but it is much
less that in the chief European ma
tons, with the exception of Germany.
According to the latest statistics on
the subject at hand, the proportion of
those unable to read and write in Eng
land is 33 per cent; in France 80 per
cent; and in Germany, II per cent.
And with us about half of the il
literacy is among the blacks, who
have only recently emerged from slav-
cry, and of whom only the Young
have yet been able to benefit to any
considerable extent by our school sys-
tenn. Out Of 1901, 207 colored per-
sons in the United States in 1880, of
ten years eff age and upward, 1920
S7S were unable to write, and the
whole number, black and white, SO il
literate, was only 6,299,95S. In other
words, while only "a per cent. of the
whites above that age were unable to
write, the proportion among the ne
gros was the great one of 20 per cent.
Besides, we had in 1880 n foreign
born population Of ten years and over
which was enumerated at 6,374611.
Twelve per cent. of these could not
write, while Of the native white popu-
lation only 81 per cent. were thus in
capable. This brings what we may
call our normal illiteracy down to
very low proportion with nearly every
other country in the world, though.
the proportion of illteracy in the
State of Bavaria is reported as only
Z per cent.
The proportion Of illiteracy would,
of course, be greatest at the South,
for at the South the still uneducated
negroes are almost entirely gathered.
But, to the discredit Of that region, by
far the greatest proportion Of litter
acy among the native whites is also
found there.

book on the Indians, put a blister to
his head on retiring, and thought in
his sleep that he was being scalped.
Both the dreams, as all others are,
were caused by suggestions offered
externally. These suggestions, being
received while the directing power,
the common sense of the mind, was
in allegiance, owing to sleep, were in
terpreted very enormously, yet ac-
cording to plain laws of association.
The hot in the one case called up the
previous subject of thought, Vesu-
vious; the singing blister in the
other, the equally singing scalping
knife. 1t is now easy to see how the
sleeping subject may be made to ac-
cept as truth whatever he is told
