NO ROOM FOR MORE THAN TWO
PARTIES.

Prohibition and Temperance both
aside, we contend that there is no room
in government for more than two
parties. The best of these will be up
to the best standard of the people at
large, and will take up any reform for
which the people are ready. To call
in third party's aid is to confess that
the people are against cause, and is
confession of defeat And why
should one man or few men tear
down system of party politics, full of
glory, because those few choose to act
together rather than exert their infu-
ence with one great party on the many?
Not one of the voters for st. John
has, in all probability, done half his
duty toward putting his own party on
higher plane on the Temperance
question. Not one has persistently at
tended primaries, helped select officials
and performed his full duties as Tenn
perance citizen. Until ones power has
been exerted in proper and useful chan
nels, what is the reason for deserting
those channels to help the adversary,
since that is what every Republican
st. John vote did in the last election?
What we first desire to obtain in this
country is a Temperance sentiment
sufficient to lead men to quit the drink
ing habit and to bring up their child
rem as total abstainers In addition,
we need Temperance laws just as high
and wide as the voters of the land will
ordain and obey. Those laws will be,
must be, at even tide with public SEN
timent, which is neither high tide, nor
low tide, but Average tide. The people
govern themselves. They are the
source and the executors of law.
Higher than they ordain we cannot go.
The average tide of thought is the law
from the people to the people.
The st. John movement in the last
campaign was clear beyond even high
tide in most States. We have thirty
eight States in our Union. Only about
ten of them are in anywise strongly
Temperance States. The country at
large is not ready for Prohibition, and,
until it is ready, why push the ques-
ton to an issue and to defeat? The
St.. John party was defeated-fai
slaughtered. And in slaughtering it.

THE STOCKING OF THE FUTURE.-
That lovely woman should cease to
wear stockings is thing to cause
silken skins to shudder. Yet the last
edict, which, according to a Partisan
journal, had it's origin in England, is
the banishment of the time honored
stocking from the feminine wardrobe.
In future, a lady's delicate extremities
are to be clad only in double -soled boots.
Modesty, of course, would forbid slip
pers or the fascinating Oxford ties
under this regulation, SO we will hope
boots with fleecy Innings are to be the
only wear. Those who have made the
subject study pronounce stockings to
be not only not useful but highly injur-
ious from a sanitary point of view
We live in an age of reform and revo-
luton, and between health congresses,
hygienic regulations and other i'm
provements the garments of our grand
mothers will soon vanish from sight

THE MAN WITH LEGS OF GLASS

'Hallucinationm said DR.. Jenkss
"Knew a man once who thought his
legs were made of glass. Lived down
East. An old, wealthy dyspeptic bach
elor | think the idea about his legs
was the result of dyspepsia, but | was
old boy was so afraid of having his
legs broken that he cried out when
anyone approached the bed. There
was an old doctor in the vicinity, who
was half mad himself, and this old
fellow determined to cure him. One
day he called and asked the old man
to come out for drive. Of course the
old fellow was Mortified, but the doc
tor insisted and he at last consented to
go. A bed was made up in the doc
tors conveyance and the dyspeptic
taken out and tenderly laid in it. They
drove off and about, until over hill a
little way off they saw a stagecoming.
''Then the doctor, by a dexterous
twist of the lines, overturned the bug
gy and tumbled the old man out into
the middle of the road. OF course he
cried out that he was done for, but the
doctor righted his buggy and drove off,
leaving him squirming in the middle
of the road and quite unable to move,
owing to his glass legs. Suddenly
he was alarmed by a shout and saw
the stage come tearing down the slope,
heading straight for him. He gesticu-
lated, but the doctor had fixed things
with the driver and the stage came
right along. Well, the old fellow stood
it until the stage was only a few feet
away. Then he jumped up and ran
ran clean back to town-and was never
bothered with glass legs again. DE
