Why We Oppose Wine-DrinkinE.
Because formented wine contains
alcohol, and all the ordinary reasons
against drinking other alcoholic
drinks hold good against drinking
wine.
Because it is expensive If made Of
genuine materials. The grapes cost
much, the making and transporting
cost more, and the profits of the deal
er the most of all.
It is not necessary. Wine is not
beverage adapted to common use. A
vast majority of the worlds pOpula-
ton have health without it. ThOus- |
ands Of total abstainers enjoy better
health than those who drink wine.
It is hurtful. The Handbook OF
vines admits that it is a delightful
poison and that a person in sound
health can need no such excitement
which must sooner or later exhaust
his vital powers.
It is deceitful. Vast numbers Of
people who use it with the best IN
tentlon of being moderate are con
tinually falling into the mistake of
taking ''too much" And it is the ma
ture of wine itself, or rather of the
alcohol contained in it, to produce
that result.
It is so often and so largely adul-
terated that it is almost impossible to
get that which IS made from the pure
grape juice and still more difficult to
kuOaU that you get 1t.
It leads to the use of stronger
drinks; many of the inmates of ineb-
rate asylums trace their fall to the
use of wine as the first bad drink.
It causes drunkenness outright.
Many men and some women have be-
come intoxicated in the very place OF
their entertainment. In the wine
regions of California there is a vast
amount of intoxicatlon on grape wine.
Because in high places and II
sacred places, it lends a strong sane
ton to drink, and thus 1t leads the
way for the use Of intoxicants among
the educated, the devout and the in
fuential
It IS made especially attractive tx
young people as a social requisite
leading them to partake of it withou
any regard to the question of tn,
physical injury it may do them, or t,
f the possibility of its forming an ap
petite for intoxicating drinks.
It is made the means of leading
1 children astray. They desire it no
only because they see their elders us
+ it, and they often get what is left Il
e their glasses, but it is put up especial
Ily for them in little bottles within
+ reach Of their little means.
Because its appolOgisers are oftel
+ so persistent in their endeavors t
0 make others partake "Just on
e glass;; 1T is so harmless; $50 benz
e fciaP'; take a little'', etc. While
K is but the entering wedge which ult
u mately separates the partaker fror
everything good in this world and tn
next.
Because the curse of God is upo

The Globe-republican., 1890-12-10

on visit 10 some of his relatives.
There was no discount On him as "a
marvel of strength and the wood-cut
which pictured him throwing a bull over
siX-rail fence was not much of an ex-
aggeration. As soon as it was discovered
that he had no particular scruples
against the flowing bowl, the boys set
out to have little fun. Early in the
forenoon of circus day an alleged circus
man waited on 1.-The great Western
giant" and intimated that he was a
fraud from way back, and that his mar
velous feats of muscle were tricks and
delusions. This had the effect we hoped
for, and four or five glasses of beer did
the rest.
Soon after noon the strong man sailed
down to the circus grounds to demand
an apology. The people had begun
buying tickets. and the circus officials
were too busy to talk. The way they
ignored his presence made the strong
man madden than ever. and he started
for The entrance. The two men sta
toned there tried to prevent his in
gress. but he threw one into a farmers
wagon and the other over a lemonade
stand and entered the tent. Six of the
circus men now -allied on the center,
but the struggle didn't last two minutes.
He flung them along and aloft as if
playing with the clubs.
''Hey. R-u-b-er' sounded the toes in,
and every single man connected with
the circus rallied in response. AS they
came with clubs, neck-yokes and wagon
stakes the strong man looked about for
some weapon. There was long tailed
bulldog lying under the sacred cows
cage. and he grabbed him by the tail
and widened the circle and finally broke
through it, smashing every man who
opposed him. When clear of the circle
he pushed baby elephant off her legs,
upset candy wagon, tore down a Sec
ton of seats about forty feet long, and
appeared outside to exclaim:
''All fraud and delusion, is it?
Haven't any moral right to my title. en-?
Well. mebbe haven't, but l guess this
crowd won't dispute it,
And he pulled the tickle. wagon over
on its beam ends, flung a bale of hay
into side show and took the middle Of
the road to walk back to the hotel.-N.

upsH horse actors There are two OF
them in this case-two beautiful
Arabian ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS dash out
OF IN engine-house and draw a large
f1re-engine across the stage at full
spesd. Harry Lacy thinks pretty near
lyas much of these horses as he does Of
himself. and that is saying grea, deaf.
There is a horse in Shenandoah"
too. He is fine black animal that Is
made much of in the first acts BIZ the
rebel heroine, and later he gallops
across the stage with a super made up
as General Sheridan on mis- back. He is
bright animal, and he knows his cue
SO we'll that he starts on his ride at the
right moment without any word from
the rider.
Joseph Murphy has used horse on
the stage for several years. There is
scene in Kerry Cow where Murphy
shoesa horse in full view of the audi
ence. going through all the details.
One OF the first horses served in this way
by Murphy was bought while he was on
the stage one night by Dan HONG, and
is now 4 successful race-horse. His
name is Lelex.
In addition to the plays already men,
toned the horse has been used to great
advantage in past seasons in Francis
Wilson's comic opera, The Oolah," "A
Run of Luck" ''Mazeppa," ''Herne the
Hunter" and Richard III"
The use of the horse in dramatic pro-
auctions probably dates from the early
paro of the present century and orig
mated at Astley's, in London. At this
house number of horse dramas were
produced, among the most popular of
which were Dick Turpin" and Put
nam. the Iron Son of 20" In late years
the border drama has largely monopo-
liZed the horse as an actor. but his pop
ularity began to spread about two years
ago.
Other animals have also been used re-
Gently. The Old Homestead" had its
oxen, ''Bootle's Baby" its rooster and
Uncle Toms Cabin" its bloodhounds.
