THE SALOON MUST GO.

How any thinking man can defend
the saloon is indeed past finding out.
Surely all who look upon the home as
a sacred institution must see that its
arch enemy is the liquor traffic. God
speed the day when the last vestige
of this awful curse will be burned and
purged away!
One of the most heartrending scenes
ever witnessed in Detroit court was
enacted recently, when Mrs. Annie
Kew, a withered white haired woman
about seventy years old, and dressed
in somber black, begged piteously for
mercy from her husband, who testi-
fed against her for drunkenness.
Mrs Kew looked like maniac as
she was led before the justice. Her
feeble frame tottered, and she chung
to the railing for support. The hus-
band, fine appearing old man of her
own age, took up a position at her
side. AS she waited for an opportun-
ty to speak his gaze met that Of his
wife, and as he turned to face the
court tears trickled down his tace.
Judge" declared the faltering old
man, ''it is hard to appear against my
wife, it is, indeed. I can't help it,
though, judge. She gets drunk, makes
lots of noise in the house, and renders
my life miserable"
''For Gods sake, Rob, have pity on
me,' cried the aged woman, fiinging
her arms about her head and almost
choking with emotion. "Give me an
other chance, just try me again; I'll
surely do better. Oh, dear Rob, save
me but this once" and she attempted
to put her arms around his neck. The
old man stepped out of the way and
she clambered upon the judges plat
form, only to be pulled down by
court officer.
''Father in heaven, save me-" she
cried, and clasping her hands gazed
toward the ceiling. SIS there no one
to help me?''
Then she turned about and scanned
the spectators for sympathetic face.
For fully five minutes she sobbed and
begged her husband to spare her Just
once more.
But her appeals had no effect. The
judge believed she would fare better
in the house of correction, and impos-
ed sentence of So, or twenty days.
After she heard the courts decision
she sank on her knees before her hus
band and cried bitterly. The old man
walked away and left her in the hands
of the police.

THE SALEM WITCHCRAFT.

This year, 1892, is just two hundred
years since the Salem witchcraft. The
legal proceedings were initiated on
the goth Of February, and in June the
trials Of the suspects began. 1t was a
dreadful summer. One after another,
men, women and children, were con-
demned to death, and their eXamina
ton was often conducted with torture,
in accordance with the barbarous Gus
tom of the age. The last execution
took place in September. There were
trials later, but the convicts were only
sentenced. to Imprisonment. These
prosecutions were conducted by the
best people in the colony, and the
clergy were the leaders. Then a re-
vulsion OF of feeling followed. Judges,
clergymen and jurors all saw their
error, and, by 1896, publicly acknowl-
edge their mistake by day of humil
iation and prayer for forgiveness.
Those who love to defame New Eng
land and to revile Puritan Society are
fond of harping upon this episode as
a disgrace to Massachusetts,. The be-
lief in witches at that time was prev
alent alike in all European countries,
and similar executions had taken place
in England, Scotland and Germany
much more extensive. The New Eng
land people only shared in some de-
gree the prevalent ignorance and SUI
perstition of the rest of mankind. The
Puritans were religious people, and
they found in the Old Testament the
positive Injunction = ssthou shalt not
permit witch to live.' They proceed
ed to obey just what they thought the
Bible told them to do. Even modern
evangelical preachers do not get
around that stern command except
by saying there are no witches now.
