| Boston, which has been entirely sacri-
| feed, and a fortune which he inherited
lost through the saloons. The jury re-
turned verdict of guilty, and the Doc

| sumed per annum in the United States

sumption. TIE liquor has been con-
sumed, the money has been consumed,
| lives have been consumed. souls have
been consumed. The only things that
have not been consumed are the terrible
appetite, and the miserable pits of
temptation, and the fearful record of
wickedness with which to face Gods
throne. And for that record the drunk
ard is not the only one answerable.-
