Alliance hall, corner Court and Prnttle

srRANaE Ar TIMES.

Did you ever notice the actions of an
occasional drinker, or Of the man who
knows that his wife is watching from
a second-story window? For the first
block he has every appearance of a
man who has business ahead. He will
stop Mt the first pump, i'm sight of his
wife, and drink water like horse; he
will turn his head half around to avoid
the fumes from the first saloon; will
cross the muddy street before hereaches
acrosswalk to avoid the communicating
touch Of one who has taken his morn
ing dram; and all the while he acts as
If he did not know that pair of eyes
were upon him, but he does. As soon
as he finds out that his wife's vision is
partially intercepted by the awnings,
he straightens up and takes his bear
ings for the first frosted window. He
seems TO have an intuitive knowledge
of perspective, and without recourse
to calculation he can tell you just how
small he appears in the distance to the
silent watcher, how much of his manly
form has faded, and to a pound the
area of his anatomy yet to be concealed.
He stipulates for the inside of the
walk, and men instinetively get out If
his way. He will hug the building so
close as to separate two coats of paint
without difficulty, one of which he
carries along with him. Having
reached the entrance unobserved, he
takes good, strong drink to neutral
ize the copious draughts of well water.
Men do not thus act in buying beef
steak and the necessaries of life, and
we have often wondered why all this
sneaking and hiding.

Lebanon Canal Co.

Before the poles closed on Monday,
some of our leading business men were
discussing the aforementioned enter
prise in a business-like way. The pro-
posed canal is estimated to cost about
$25, 600. 1t is thought that this amount
of stock will be subscribed without
special solicitation. The advantages
of such an enterprise could hardly fail
drawing a number of manufactures,
without which Lebanon will continue
to be rural village, a country trading
point. 1t is to be hoped that meeting
will be called at an early date and that
steps will be taken at once in this
matter which so vitality concerns the
future prosperity Of our town.
