Temperance.
CONDUCTED BY THE. w. G. L. u.
FOR God and Home and Native Land"
Home and the Saloon

No doubt some of our readers have
heard how Mr.. Higginbotham's home
was made interesting. He had told
Mrs. Higginbotham that he went out
at night because his home was not
interesting. Therefore, like wise
woman, she proceeded to effect a
remedy. Concealing her identity, she
discovered what kind of place Mr..
Higginbotham considered interesting,
then she set to work. The carpets
in the front and back porlors were
taken up, the floors were sprinkled
with sawdust, the beautiful paintings
gave place to something little loud,
spit boxes with stumps of cigars were
put in the corner, and decanters
adorned the rough table which had
taken the place of the handsomely
covered stand. Then Mrs. Higgin-
botham invited Mr.. Higginbotham to
spend the evening at home. and he
did. He surveyed the situation with
open.mouthed and round-eyed wonder;
then look of sneaBing dismay came
over his face; and when at last he had
gotten enough of his Inundated man
hood together to express an opinion,
he declared that if Mrs. Higginbotham
would only put the parlors to rights
again he would consider his home the
most interesting place in the world

A Letter From Wah Sam Lung to hi
Sister.

A Letter From Wah Sam Lung to his
Sister.
My DEAR SIsTER:-I find that one
question is greatly agitating the Amer
lean people just nov, and that is
whether men shall be licensed to sell
Intoxicating liquor. 1t is what these
Americans call burning question.
must say that the right or wrong of
the matter seems very plain to me.
Here Is something---the rumshop-
that all good people want to get rid of.
l do not believe there is single good
man in all America who would not be
glad to see every liquor-saloon in the
land closed tomorrow; and the good
people, so far as ] can learn, are in
the majority in America.
Well, how do they go TO work to get
rid of the saloon, do you suppose!
You will hardly believe me, my dear
sister, but in some States these good
people say to the rumseller, 1--WE hate
your business, and know that it fills
our prisons and ruins our boys and
costs us hundreds of millions of dol
lars a year; but still, if you are bound
to keep on, we'll protect you in it, if
you only will pay hundred dollars
year into our city treasury. In other
States, where they hate the business
a little more, they protect it just the
same, only the rumseller must pay
$500 or 81 900 for the privilege of SELL
ing. In still other places, they shut
up the rumshops in one town and
leave them all open in the next.
which. as you can imagine, does very
little good. In some other States they
have law to prevent any one from
selling, but let rich brewer make all
the liquor he wants, and the law never
disturbs him from one years end to
another.
Isn't this a queer tumble of laws
and regulations! And the strangest
thing about it is that these good peo-
pie seem so helplessl You would
think, to hear them talk, that the
rumsellers ruled America, and all that
the good people could do was to look
on, regulate the matter a little and
get few thousand dollars out of the
rumsellers. In some States they are
trying to put law into the constitu-
ton of the State which shall forever
shut up the rumshop, but all sorts of
objections are urged, even by very
good people. ut can't be done"
they say, "some will always buy and
others will always SELL" and yet these
same good people never think of Ii
censirg and regulating burglary and
murder, though theft and murder are
not yet entirely unknown in any State.
must say that the logic of some of
my American friends is as strange as
everything else about this queer
country. If | settle in America, !
think | shall move into ous Of those
States where the good people have
their way and not tie rumsellers.
Your affectionate brother,
WAH SAM LUNG.
