proceeded to satisfy his appetite until the
proprietor noted that. while eating heartily,
he ''failed to order liquor of any sort to
wash down the food he consumed. where
upon lie was unceremoniously kicked into
the street. He had his liquor-selling as
sailant arrested, and the Chicago court has
thrown a shadow over the free lunch"
saloon business by deciding that a liquor
shop which advertises a free lunch is to be
taken literally at its word, and that the
partakers of such lunches are in nowise
legally bound to order drinks which are
not free. 1t is understood that these liquor
shop free lunches are usually so highly
seasoned as to create in the partakers a
thirst which would render a call for drinks
well-nigh irresistible. If the Chicago de-
cision should lead to the abandonment of
the free lunch" announcements altogether
it will take from the saloon system one OF
its deceptive guises by which new victims
are ensnared.

The Indiana Go. Messenger, Pennsyl-
vania, thus speaks of the death of T. Ben.
ton Dudley:
ST. Benton Dudley, we'll known in this
place, is dead. A Gettysburg dispatch
gives the following particulars Of the
event:
II. Benton Dudley, who was well known
to many of our citizens, and who figured
prominently in the Murphy temperance
movement a number of years ago, died of
delirium tremens in the almslouse at Get
tysburg on Sunday morning last. He
leaves a wife, the daughter of Congress
man Swope, and one child, who were at his
bedside when he died
Mr.. Dudley was a native of Blairsville
and a member of the bar of this county,
having read law with II. w. Weir. Esq.
He was a bright man, but had an insatia-
bic appetite for strong drink. 4. writer of
the Harrisburg Telegraph thus speaks of
him:
When a few years ago Benton Dudley
was electrifying large assemblies through
out the Juniata Valley it was little thought
he would end his career in the almshouse.
Eloquent, a brilliant lawyer and a gentle
man of handsome figure, he fell a victim to
an insatiate appetite for liquor, which, how
ever, he overcame for a time and by his
eloquent appeals in behalf of the temper
ance cause won thousands from their cups
His fate will be sincerely mourned by very
many who will remember him only for the
good he has done
Would to heaven this was only an isol-
ated case! Go cut from the daily and
weekly press of any one important city the
items of RUNS doings, paste them in a scrap
book, and at the close Of one year read them
over. The heart sickens at the horrid re-
cital. Crimes of every degrce-nameless

the Master. Instead Of giving freedom to
a full, free and frank discussion of this
many-sided question, temperance, there
are those who would, through an intoler-
ant and bigoted spirit worthy of the advo-
Gates Of the Inquisition, close all such ave-
nues, and, while fighting over a difference
of opinion as to methods, victims like poor
Dudley by the scores of thousands drag
out a miserable existence, and put in aw-
full jeopardy the eternal welfare of their
souls.

Father. Hadn't You Better Take a
Sheen, Too.

An able farmer, about the time the tenn
perance reform was beginning to exert a
healthful influence in the country, said to
his newly hired man: Jonathan, | did
not think to mention to you, when | hired
you, that l think of trying to do my work
this year without rum. How much more
must | give you to do Without
"Oh!'' said Jonathan, Il don't care much
about it; you may give me what you
please
"Well," said the farmer, Il will give
you a sheep in the fall, if you wish to do
without"
agreed, > said Jonathan.
The oldest son then said: Father, will
you give me a sheep if | will do without
rum?''
YES, Marshall, you shall have a sheep
if you will do without"
The youngest son, a STRIPPING, then said:
"Father, will you give me a sheep if | do
without?:'
Yes, Chandler, you shall have a sheep
also if you do without rum.
Presently Chandler speaks again:
''Father, hadn't you better take a sheep
too?''
This was a poser. He hardly thought
that he could give up the good creature
yet. But the appeal was from a source not
to be disregarded. The result was, the de-
mon rum was thenceforth banished from
the premises, to the great joy and ultimate
happiness of all concerned.-XI amend

defending your right to have voted for any
man whom your conscience approved. Go
to work harder than ever to teach the
young the perils of the bottle and to save
the victims of strong drink. If any violent
partisans choose to revenge themselves on
us by voting for license, the responsibility
will be on their own heads. The cause
will outlive such enemies.

Friday next, the 24th inst, is Arbor Day,
to be observed by the planting of trees i'll
greater or less numbers, according to the
wishes of the planters. The custom is
adopted in view of the rapid destruction of
our forests by the axe of the lumberman.
The Western States make more account of
the day than we of the east and with good
results as this following clipping from the
Parker (Dakota) New Era shows:
Gov. Martin thus speaks of what the
rightful observance of Arbor day has done

Gov. st. John, since his return from the
South, confesses that the temperance work
is further advanced in the South than in
the North. Mississippi has $50 saloons,
Minnesota, with about the same population,
has over 3, 1000 saloons; Arkansas has 1,344
saloons, California, with about the same
population, has 1859 saloons. Old Bour-
bon Kentucky has 4, 461 saloons, and Ohio,
Is, 800. Startling as the statement may be.
in proportion to the population, the North
has twice as many saloons as the South.
And yet the South is Democratic and the
North Republican, and striving to be pro-
hibition also.

We hope the shoe factory project will be
successful. The way TO build up a tow is
to furnish employment to the people who
live there who otherwise would have to
seek elsewhere for the means of living.
This will also bring others TO settle here.
Employment means wages, wages means
money to spend, money to spend means
business for the butcher, the baker, the
tailor the s~tore-keeper, and all others
whose business it is to supply the every
day wants of the community. y surplus
of wages over expenses means houses to be
built for the workers, and this again means
work for somebody else, and the current
of prosperity, once beginning, flows bravely
along. One successful enterprise en-
courages others with like results. This is
