TEMPERANCE.
THE TIME TO STOP.


A Little Speech for . Little Boy.
Perhaps you think little boy
Can hardly understand
The message that the Temperance folks
Would send through all the land.
Out this know, that want and woe
In druDkards' homes are found:
And places where they buy their drinks
Are open all around.
For liquor, and tobacco, too,
More money goes, they say,
Thai al the people in the land
For bread and meat now pay
Some think little does no harm,
1t makes them feel so nice;
But ali! it is more dangerous
Than skating on thin ice.
A little makes you soon want more;
And more and more you crave;
At last, to alcoholic drinks
You find yourself slave. n
The chain begins to bind your soul
When first you take drop;
Before you take Single drink,
TIA: is the time to stop!

''Oh. mother! I've been the ineanest

prosecutions. Mrs. Benton listened
with sorrow and joy-sorrow because

The next morning Harry's father
was sober, and under reaction from
drink, was thoughtful and somewhat
inclined to self-reproach.. ;.
Then there came a rap at the door,
and a message was delivered. Harry's
face frightened as he read the boyish
note of Arthur's.
''Oh, mother!" Harry said, she's
asked me to forgive him, and he's aw-
fully sorry he ever called me names;
and he says his mother says you are

as no pen can portray.
Days passed, prayer was heard in

in Mrs. Woodruff's eyes as she said to
Harry: at seems like Heaven upon

DRINKING A TEAR.
Josh SPLITS New Drink, and How
Came to AdOut II.

Josh SPLITS New Drink, and How He
Came to Adopt It
''Boys, l won't drink without you
take what do" said old Josh Split,
in reply to an invitation. He was a
topper of long standing and an abundant
capacity. and the boys looked at him
in establishment
1.-The idea," one of them replied,
'fhat you should prescribe conditions
is laughable. Perhaps you want to
force one of those abominable mixtures
on us. You are chief of mixed drinks,
and won't agree to your condition. "
''He wants to run us on castor-oil
and brandy" said the judge. who
would willingly have taken the oil to
get the brandy.
mo, I'm squar," replied old Split
Take my drink, Pm with you.''
The boys agreed and stood along the
bar. Every one turned to Split, and
regarded him with interest.
''Mr. Bartender" said Split, "give
me q glass of water"
''What. water!' the boys exclaimed.
"Yes, water. It's new drink to
me. admit. and l expect it's a scarce
article. Lemme tell you how came
to take it. Several days ago, as pas
sci of us went fishing, we took fine
chance of whisky along, an had a
heap of fun. Long toward even got
powerful drunk. an crawled under a
tree and went to sleep. The boys
drank up all the whisky an came back
to town. They thought it good joke
cause they'd left me out there drunk,
and told it around town with mighty
buster. My son got hold of the report
and told it at home. Well l laid I'M
der the tree all night, and when 1
woke in the morning there sot my
wife right thar by me. She didn't
say a word when woke up; she sorter
turned her head away. She still didn't
say nothin', but l could See that she
was chokin'.
"'I wish l had suthing to drink, ,

''Then she tuck a cup which she
fotch with her, an went down to whar
a spring billed up, an dipped up a cup
full an fotch it to me. Jess as she
was handin' it to me she leaned over
to hide her eyes, an seed tear drop
in the water. took the cup and
drunk the water and the tear. an
raisin' my hands, I vowed that would
never drink my wife's tears again;
that had been drinking them for the

A GIGANTIC BURDEN.

What tho Nation Drank In 1886-The
Immeasurable Damage and Ruin
Wrought
The following figures. compiled by
the chief of the Bureau of Statistics
at Washington may be accepted as
approximately correct:
For the year 1886 there were con-
sumed by our sixty millions of popula-
ton 72,261.614 gallons of distilled
spirits, 22,N67, 22O gallons Of wine.
and 737, 296, 554 gallons of malt
liquors. or an average of 2l.62 gallons
per capita to population. A compar-
ison with similar statistics covering
nearly half century shows marked
and steady growth in the use of
malt liquors, along with moderate
decrease in total number Of gallons
used of spirits and wines. which be-
tokens, however. a very large decrease
in their per capita consumption.
The taxes collected from the manu-
facture and sale of liquors by the
Government was &SS. 76S. 997, or about
81. rs for every inhabitant of the United
States
A further careful estimate Of the Ma
tion's drink bill shows the actual cost
of liquors is over SOC, 600. 600 per an
mum. The indirect cost is much more,

Cost Of grain DESTROYED. ......... el1onooo
