Blood Money.

The Saloonatics have induced our
law makers 10 use the money derived
from the sale Of liquor license TO edu-
cate our children; that Is use it towards
paying the appropriation Of three hum
dred thousand dollars, the deficit 70 be
paid out Of the general fund in the
that they are in full sympathy
with this barbaric and destructive
business. What would we think of the
jews, if they had taken the money that
Judas received for betraying his Lord
to educate their children? and what may
we think of men who are willing TO
betray the cause Of Christ by taking the
the price OF blood and using il to edu-
cate our children. This use was taken
to establish bond of sympathy between
the dramshop and the school. The
dramseller would tell the ignorant and
unlnformed, the more saloons you have,
the more school money YOU have, and
the dram drinking father would say as
he swallowed the cup Of poison, Il do
this TO educate the boys" Would il not
be a good idea for our next Legislature
to repeal that clause Of the Statute: 1t
Is only an effort to halloW this business
and try TO make it respectable by usiEg
the money separately for education, and
puts the druHkard maker in a position
to improve on the colored people. If we
license crime why not let it 90 into the
general fund let all the officers Of the
State be paid with his prorata of this
bloood money. Since it does not in
crease or diminish the school fund
whether there be n single saloon or not.

Gen. Robert C. Schenck is one OF the

Schenck. that is the reason, l sup

EMMY the old clergyman; lit is so des-
ignated because our Savior was born
and suffered there. Schenck SAID
"Ahn and looked as solemn as gate

his return from his diplomatic mission

The Demand of the Hour.

"What is the demand for the future ??
says Mary T. Lathrap, the clear-seeing
President of the Michigan w. C. I. U
Organization everywhere. If the Ma
tional Government does anything for
the relief the people from the drink
curse, it will be because men are sent to
Congress with other than saloon influence
behind them; and men who themselves
believe in Prohibition. The second
demand of the hour is literature; espec
tally newspapers, which daily and
weekly shall bring the living
truth to the people. Let Tenn
perance people, then, all over the
country, make up their minds that the
Temperance press must have liberal
constant support. Our people must be
won from their ignorance and driven
from their prejudice, before our cause
succeeds. The best means to this end
is the Temperance newspaper. Nothing
seems clear but that our cause is right
and We must be ac:iye.-National Bul
letin.

How She Beat the old Man.

A good story about the Arion ball is
told by a New York correspondent: A
well-known man in the beau monde
fell victim early in the evening to the
charms Of a particularly fascinating
little siren. His devotion continued
all the evening. but the siren was OBJ
durate and refused her name or a
glimpse of her face. Finally she agreed
upon the presentation of a nice new
800 bill. to let him know next day her
name and address. requesting him at
the same time to make a note of the
number of the bill Wednesday the
unfortunate man received the follow
irg epistle: Dear Papa-I am so
dreadfully hard up this month Can't
| keep your nice new bank note. No.
? Your affiectionate daughter,
" Signing the name of the
good mans young and handsome

in question will never see that banl

A Temperance Anecdote.


John Jones began at the age Of fifteen
to build monument and finished it al
tiftys He worked night and day, often
all night long and on the sabbath. He
seemed TO be in a great hurry to get it
done. He spent all the money he earn
ed upon it-s0me say $50, 900. Then he
borrowed all he could and when no one
would loan him any more he would take
his wife's dresses and the bed-cl0thes
and many other valuable things in his
home, and sell them to get more money
to finish the monument.
They say he came home one dav and
was about to take the blankets that lay
over his sleeping baby to keep it warm
and his wife tried TO stop him; but be
drew back his fist and knocked her
down, and then went away with the
blankets and never brought them back,
and the baby sickened and died from
the exposure. At last there was moth
ing left in the house The poor, heart
broken wife soon followed the baby to
the grave. Yet John Jones kept work
ing all the more at the monument.
saw him when he was about fifty years
old. The monument was nearly done
but he had worked so hard at it that |
hardly knew him, he was so worn; his
clothes were all in tatters, and his hands
and face, indeed, his whole body, were
covered with scars which he got in lay
ing up some of the stones. And the
wretched man had been 50 little in good
society all the while that he was build
ing, that he had about forgotten how to
use the English language; his tongue
had somehow become very thick, and
when he tried to speak, out would come
an oath.
That may seem strange, but I have
found out that all who build such mon
uments as Johns prefer oaths to any
other word!
Now, come with me, and I will show
you Johns monument. 1t stands in a
beautiful part of the city where five
streets meet. Most men put such things
in a cemetery. But John had his own
way and put it on one of the finest lots
to be found
''Does it look like Bunker Hill monu-
ment? asks little Amy Arlott by my
side
Not at all. John didn't want to be
remembered in that way. He might
have taken that $50, 700 and built an
asylum for the poor little children that
have no home, and people would have
called the asylum his monument
But here we are at the front door. 1t
is a grand house. 1t is high and large,
with great halls and towers, and velvet
carpets, elegant mirrors and piano, and
| know not what all so rich and grand.
This is John Jones' monument and
the man who sold John nearly all the
whisky he drank lives here with his
| family, and they all dress in the richest
and finest clothes
