IN THE local columns of the JOUR-
NAL this morning will be found an
appeal by the Women's Temperance
Union of Miles City To the lnveterate
and moderate drinkers to abstain from
their indulgence in intoxicants.
While the reasoning of the writer of
the article cannot be criticised ad-
versely, such writings are ineffica-
cious. A man may read from now
until doomsday without being stricken
with remorse over the .status of the
life he is leading. Nothing but prac-
tical work can make neophyte out of
one who is addicted to the use of strong
drink. This practical work must be
executed by the women. The frown
OF a woman has more effect upon a
man than all the works advocating
temperance that were ever written.
The trouble Is, though, ,..women do
not know when to frown. Nothing is
so pleasant to wife as husband
whom she has every confidence in.
To bring about reform to man Just
after being united in matrimony,
should be the first duty of the wife,
and this can be accomplished by pre-
serving an amiable disposition, so that
when husband enters his home he is
sure Of a pleasant greeting. When
husband goes home in an intoxicated
condition, then is the time for the wife
to frown. Intemperance Is caused to
an alarming extent by the unpleasant
relationship that exists In a family.
Mothers and fathers should make
home au attraction for their growing
sons, and they would never know
anything pleasanter than seat beside
their own comfortable fireside. The
boys go out tor sake of society. and
spend evenings away from home.
Home should be place where sun
shine always exists. There should be
more social intercourse between neigh
bors; enough to keep.young men away
from the evils that they are bound to
become acquainted with, If no other
attraction is extended TO them.
An appetite for Intoxicating beverages
is acquired by continued .indulgences.
1t becomes custom with young men
to perfume their breaths with liquor,
and it is the duty of young ladies to
frown upon these young men at such
times, and express certain pleasure
in their company when these young
mems breath is untainted by alcoholic
The young men notice il
and they are taught lesson they do
not soon forget. The men are infiu-
enced by the women, and anything
that pleases men, young and old, is to
have the good will of the woman, and
to secure that good will, nothing that
woman can name, that man can ac-
will he not do 10 please the
W oman he fancies. But on the other
hand, man is often frowned upon
when he is desirous of pleasing and in
every instance is he conducting him.
self properly to receive q. a.standing; but
he Is given no encouragement, and
with hopelessness he gives up trying
to achieve the position and respect he
was so desirous of attaining, and with
q seclusive, pensive, and feeling of SOL
itude he calls for wine to inspire his
dropping spirits. Girls, If you want
to make men out of boys, never frown
upon them except when you have
good proof that they have been in
dulging in the use of spirituous
liquors. After the age of %, after ma
turity is reached, If young man has
kept free from the use Of liquor, there
is not much danger of him dying a
drunkard. The greatest danger to a
young man is between the age of IS
and ~. II that interval Of his exis-
tence is passed in safety, there is every
hope for his future. There Is no
young man who does not think he Is
perfectly competent to drink and alb
stain ad libitum. and he can read a
book of thousand volumes without
being convinced to the contrary. A
lecture delivered by a person who can,
with pathos, reach the soul of u per-
son who imbibes moderately, has good
effect, but woman rules man, and al
ways will while she has love to bestow.
