THE DRINK CURSE.
The Saloon VS.. the Home-Avoid the One
and Have the Other.

The Saloon VS.. the Home-Avoid the One
and Have the Other.
Three-fourths to nine-tenths of the
inmates of, our prisons have come to
what they are through liquor, as the
records of the cases will prove. And
our insane asylums are filled with in
mates whose families have been de-
stroyed by liquor.
Young man, do you ever expect to
have home? If you do avoid tipping
in the saloon. This is great country
as well as free one. That is, it is a..
great country for the man who does
not drink. If he does not touch the
wine cup he can obtain a home. 1t is
a great country for a poor man. Now,
men, if any of you have home and
are tipping, avoid it. Don't avoid the
home, but the saloon, or you will lose
that home and bring misery and want
to your family.
Not long ago there was a young man
in police court charged with being
drunk. He was in rags and his body
was emaciated. "Three years ago."
said the officer to the judge, ssthis
young man had 100000. Drink has
brought him to this That young
man had once been the happiest Of
young fellows, and to-day he is clean
ing spittoons in beer halls for an ex-
istence. Think of such a life, young
men. The associations are bad Seek
those who will elevate you in your
daily life, and not drag you down into
the mire. God has given to every man
an immortal soul, and it is his duty to
vate mans moral nature, it prosti-
tutes and corrupts it, destroys man S
good nature and robs him of his best
faculties. The result of drink is moth
ing but wretchedness and misery.
Some men say they can drink and
not be in danger; that they can take
their glass of beer without doing any
harm. But man is never conscious
of it until he is victim. Some years
ago there was a scene in a theater
where man was to perform with q
| Demonstration. He had been master
of the serpent for thirty years. He
was not afraid of the snake. He did
not think he was in danger. That SER
pent coiled himself around that man,
and even then the trainer did not think
he was in danger. But suddenly the
| monster makes sudden move, a sob is
heard, and the man who had been the
master of the serpent for thirty years
is crushed to death. And so it is with
the drunkapd. He does not know he is
| in the tolls till he is crushed. Req. G..

| WHO can measure the damage the

I have been talking it up to my friends and furnishing them all the rinted folders and pamphlets I could get, descriptive of the country. ard the result is many have determined to make their home in that land of Italian skies, fruits and perpetual flowers. One of my nrighhors took his wife and made a personal inspec- ton of the Glla valley f"w weeks ago and after having made tour of Utah, Central and Southern Califor- mia, reported Arizona as decidedly preferable to any country they looked at. Especially were they pleased with the Gila valley; they say, like the Queen of Sheha, "the half has not been told" The country is even bet ter than your boom editions have painted it.
