Johnny-s Mental Arithmetic.

Johnny was pouring over his mental
arithmetic. 1t was a new study to him,
and he found it interesting. When Johnny
undertook anything he went about if with
heart, head and hand.
He sat ON his high stool at the table
while his father sat just opposite. He was
such a tiny fellow, scarcely large enough to
hold the book, you would think, much less
to study and calculate. But he could do
both, as you shall see.
%Johnny's father had been speaking TO
his mother, and Johnny had been 50 intent
in his book that he had not heard a word;
but as he leaned back in his high chair To
rest 4 moment he heard his father say !:
Dean got beastly drunk at the club last
night; drank ten glasses of wine; | was
disgustcd with the fellow"
Johnny looked up with bright eyes
How many did you drink >"
Il drank one, my son." said the father,
smiling down upon his little boy.
Then you were only one-tenth drunk, :"
said the boy refcctiyely.
John :" said his parent sternly in a
breath. But John continued with a studi-
ous air:
why, yes; if ten glasses of wine makes
a man beastly drunk, one glass will make
him one-tenth part drunk, and"
There, there = interrupted the father,
biting his lips to hide the smile that would
come; Il guess it's bedtime for you, and
We'll have no more arithmetic Tonight.
So Johnny was tucked away in bed and
went sound asleep, turning the problem
over and over to see if he was wrong.
And just before he had lost himself in
slumber he had thought: Zone thing is
sure: If Dean hadn't taken the one glass
he would not have been drunk. So it is
the sa fest way never to take one; and |
never Will The next thing he was snor-
ing. while his father was thinking:
''Thcre's something i'll Johnny's c%alcula-
tions, after all. It's not safe to take one
glass, and | will ask Dean to sign a total
abstinence pledge with me tomorrow. "
And he did so, and they both kept it. So
great things grew out of Johnny's study
ing mental arithmetic, you sec.-ErchaAge.

The Register seeks to create the impress
sion that the temperance people of Woods
tom are divided into factions working
at cross purposes. As a matter of fact
there was never a time in the history OF
Woodstown when the temperance people
were more thoroughly united and harm"-
Nous than at present. The rum gang
would fam have il otherwise, and their allies
and emmissaricS are trying hard to kick
up a disturbance III the temperance ranks
from outside. but it won't work. The
temperance people are all right. The half
inchers who are fol temperance with their
mouths, but whose actions are in sympathy
with rum all the time, are not counted
in with the temperance folks, but are vel
come TO 60 IA their own place.

We have heard lately of one OF two
places in Salem county. within half u

to be procured by the quart, and if all ac-
counts are true, by lesser measure. without

court, and which are cxcrting a terribly.
demoralizing influence upon the young
men, too many of whom, VIC are sorry to
say, avail themselves of the opportunity to
crafty their taste for intoxicants Ia the
shame of their families and friends. The
seed thus sow will surely result in a crop
to be gathered by the state in future years,
of sorrow and suffering in one form and
another. There appears Ia be protection
under the law for all forms Of animated
creation. beasts, birds and fishes, but the
young mcn-the bone and sineN of the
land-thc hope of the country for the
futurc-mu.t look out for themselves. At
an aye al which the law prrsumes them to
be incapable OF making a bargain OF deal.

temptations and pitfalls on every hand. and
their friends who seek Ia protect them by
the law which p%ronounccS them incapable
OF acting for themselves, are denounced as
erankS, fanatics and fools.

The only difference between us and our
radical third party brethren is that they
are bound that prohibition shant come
through the Republican party, and we are
willing and anxious that il should come IN
any way .-lAllcHc BRlietiR.
This causes rs to laugh The third
have been knocking Ut the doors of the old
party conventions and caucnseS, asking
for recognition of the temperance question
in their platforms and candidates. With
what success. or want of success, the records
will show. We have yet to learn that the
Republican party has ever Offered prohibit
tion to the people Of New Jersey VIII
the Bulletin kindly furnish day and date
and place where? We certainly think the
outlook is as favorable for obtaining pro
hibition by third party action as by either
of the old parties, but if either of the old
parties want the contract for supplying it,
and really mean in good faith to fill the
order, now is the time to speak mp. Better
late than never. If our brother of the
Bulletin is willing and anxious that prohi-
bition should come in ing way, why does
he oppose its coming along the third party
linc9 Or, at least, why does lie oppose
third party action to secure it, when he
cannot show that either the first or second
party is manifestine any intention to give
it? He probably thinks the third party
plan Won't be successful We can count
scores of other good men who thought the
same thing time back, but all the same
they haye changed their mind, and on
brother recognizes the fact in his efforts to
stop the stampede from his party To the

We unite in the declaration that we
believe alcohol should be classed with other
powerful drugs; that, when prescribed
incidentally, it shonld he with conscientious
caution, and a sense ofgrave responsibility.
We are of the opinion that the use of alec
holic liquor as a beverage is productive of
a large amount Of physical disease; that
it entails diseased appetitics upon offspring;
and that it is the cause of a large percent
age of the crime Of our cities and country.
We would welcome any indicious and
effective lc~gislation-statc and national
which should seek to coniinc the traffic in
