More Echoes From The Joyous
Victory.
DEAR FREEMAN:

DEAR FREEMAN:
We are shouting, "Glory to God

erloo indeed and complete. Chris
tianity, Temperance and Morality
have won the victory over vice,
immortality and the attendant
crimes of the License System.
On Thursday, Jan. 9th, the allied
hosts of the Saloon on one side and
the Home forces on the other, were
drawn up in battle array before the
voting place in our town, and VIC
tory rested on the white banner SO
CALAMITY borne into the conflict by
our Spartan band of noble women,
the W. C. 7. U. All day long with
prayer and entreaty did they bat
tls with the willy and desperate foe,
until the shout of victory went up
as the sun went down.
AS soon as the result was known,
the Temperance Mayor and Coun-
Gil elect, with many promin ent
citizens, joined in rendering the
W. G. T. U. an elegant oyster sup
per, in honor of their gallant servi-
ces in the conflict.
The outgoing Mayor and Coun-
Gil were invited, but declined to
accept the invitation, as | am in
formed. The Temperance work
ers were sorry for this, as they
wanted to show tn 1T they warred
against the saloon and not against
men. There was merry happy
time in Page & Everett's spacious
Hall, which was crowded to it's
utmost capacity during the even
ing. The jolly Temperance boys
of the Band enlivened the occasion
with excellent music.
Yours rejoicingly, J. f.

[ take pleasure in writing to you
that on last Friday evening the
Temperance School Go G. l.. T. L.
gave for an entertainment the Can
tata entitled "Mother Goose and
her Temperance Family" and
though the audience was small we
cleared about ten dollars. On &C
count of the shut down at the glass
house, there was not a large atten-
dance, but those who did come en-
joyed it very much. The children
and the several older ones who took
part were dressed in costumes and
enjoyed the exercises about as we'll
as the audience. Our school is get
ting along very nicely but we are
sadly hampered for lack of teaches
and adult help. can't see what
so many of our people are thinking
of, especially those who have the
means and the time and the talent !;
who sit idly by and see the chill
dren of the streets and alleys going
dowr to destruction without an eff
fort to help them. To me the un-
cared for of our cities and larger
villages are the menace of cur free
institutions, and we must save
them or they will destroy our chill
dren in the future.
Thanking you for your kind
words of encouragement and re-
greeting my inability to do more
for the cause in which we are en-.
gage,
I am very truly yours,

Continual Coming.

The unjust Judge heard the wild

her continual coming. We do not
wish to weary our sisters and
friends with Miss Wizards appeal,
but as a number have just noticed
it, as appears by their responses,
we present it again as an earnest
reminder. The cause needs the
practical help for which the appeal
is made, and it is only by pressing
these claims persistently, that the
work can be kept moving. Let
there be liberal shower of respon-
ses to this definite plea, during the
coming week.

Our Reunion, after Thirty

A week ago an Uncle, whom we

prised US by dropping in unan-
nounced. To folks that have
Uncles, Aunts and Cousins un-
mum bered this is no special hap
pening. But to one who doesn't
own an Aunt, and only one Uncle,
it was an occasion. Years ago, be-
fore starting to seek his fortune in
the 'Land of Gold" he filled our
cup to Overlooking by laying in
our mothers lap soft bright plaid
raw silk dress, with the injunction,
ELLEN, make it just the way the
little girl wants it," Wild with
joy we exclaimed, ooh put a peck
ct in tip 1t didn't matter about
the rest,
We got the pocket and lovingly
cherished the author of our Joy
and triumph. Coming back after
all these years to find the little girl
the mother of a stalwart young
man, has awakened memories, and
going back to the beginning we have
talked over the ground and the
people up to date. Rejoice with US.
