You know of her efficiency in State

work also. Some who are gifted in

Wear your white ribbon if you are
not ashamed of your colors.
LeHOre Goes Dry.

Another county falls into line fol
temperance and thus we see our work
is not in vain. Clipped from a Mem
phis paper is the following little notice
from Greenwood, Miss:
GREENWOOD, MISS, Oct. 15.-The 10
cal option election in Lefiore county
passed off quietly yesterday. The re-
turns from all the beats but one give
the victory to the Prohibitionists by
about twenty-five majority.
When the efforts of temperance, men
and women are crowned with success
if it is, even as in this case, shy small
majority" we still have great cause to
rejoice, and in the language of the
great and good DR.. Landrum, l would
say, do not despond, brother, sister;
God is still on the throne, watching
our humble efforts. He will by and by
reward the faithful.
He does not hold us responsible for
results, but for untiring effort. Go,
teach temperance lessons; go, agitate
the question; go, encourage every
worker. The need of the hour with
one and all of us is courage, Christian
courage; yea, National courage, to
drive out this monster from the home,
from society and from our fair land.
Mississippi leader. (Jackson, Miss.) 1892-1895, 1893-10-24

Since early childhood it has been
the greatest surprise and establishment
to me how any Christian man or wo-
man could laugh at the actions or
words of drunken man, or l might go
even farther and say how any
kind-hearted or we'll -bred person
could do such a thing. To
me it is the most pitiable sight
on earth except the sight of his
poor, broken hearted family at home.
To see being calling himself man,
made in the image of our holy Father
and created for all glorious and lofty
purposes, thus debasing and degrading
himself, breaking every vow he has
taken to protect his home and the low
ing ones whom God has given him, is
no matter of amusement. How can it
be when we remember that our bodies
are to be kept pure and clean as fit
temples for the indwelling of the Holy
Spirit i? How can we feel amused when
we look past the poor, weak, sinful
creature into his sorrow-clouded home,
into the grief faces of those who
love him best of all on earth and think
he has made and is making for them a
life of unspeakable woe and misery
Oh! do not laugh at the drunken man
reeling through the streets, however
ludicrous the sight may be. He is GO
ing home to some tender heart that
will throb with intense agony; some
doting mother, perhaps, who will griev e
over the downfall of her once sinles s
boy; or it may be a loving wife, whose
heart will almost burst with grief as
she views the destruction of her Idol
or 1t may be loving sister, who will
shed bitter tears over the degradation
of her brother, shorn of his manliness
and self-respect. Rather drop 4 tear
in silent sympathy with those hearts
so keenly sensitive and tender, yet SO
p6aldly royal that they can not accept
- Enpathy rendered them either in
word, look, or act, although it might
fall upon their wounded and crushed
hearts AS the summer dew upon the
whitening plant.

stand you are taking. They, too, are
your brothers, and they are standing
upon the very brink of ruin. Let them
know that you would ''rescue the per
ishing." Perhaps some one who sees
your little badge will stop, and, con-
sidering all it means, make up his
mind to turn away from the old life
and seek happiness in an honest bust
ness. Above all things show to the
world that you are in earnest in this
great battle for right and for the sa-
credness of home and that the strong
est and the sharpest weapon to be used
in all this warfare is Lore.

: THE NATIONAL CONVENTION.

Before these lines reach you the
Worlds Woman's Christian Temper
ance Union and the National w. G.
T. U. will have met in convention at
Chicago. Our representative women
from all over the world are gathering
now in that wonderful city. What a
feast is spread for them!! A finer
program could not be made than the
one already planned, unless indeed it
could place our grand, beloved Presi-
dent in her accustomed place at the
head of things; but while she rests the
noble, gifted Lady Henry Somerset
comes to take her place, and right roy
ally will she be welcomed by one and
all in that great Convention. She has
left her distant home and crossed the
great ocean to come to us when we
need her most and song of praise
and thanksgiving goes up today from
every loyal white-ribboner of America
for such friend. Long may she live
to bless the world with her generous
acts and noble deeds.
Several of the distinguished for
eign delegates to the Worlds w. c.
T. U. have arrived in Chicogo. One is
Mrs. Sakurai, of Japan, vice President
of the Toxic w. G. T. U. and represen-
tative of the japanese Union. Mrs.
Sakurai is an educator in her own
country, having eighteen years ago
started school for girls, the first in
Toxic. She has also taught in Govern
ment Normal Schools. Eight years
ago Mrs. Mary Clement Leavitt visit
ed Japan and organized w. G. T. u.
at Osaka. Mrs. Sakurai was living
there at that time and became presi-
dent of the union, so she may be prop
erly regarded as a pioneer in Japan
ese temperance work"
Miss De Broen, president of the
w. c. T. U. of France, represents her
country at the Worlds Convention.
Mrs. Magnussen, of Iceland, Miss
Groendyke, of West Africa, Miss A. E.
Bliss, of South Africa, Mrs. Love, for
merly president of Victoria union,
Miss Williams, of the Canadian union,
Mrs. Cunningham, of British Column
bia, Mrs. Whitney, of the Hawaiian is
lands, Mrs. Locke, of Bulgaria, Miss
Alys Whitall Smith, representing the
Y's of England, and DR.. Kate Bush
nell, Mrs. Andrew and Miss Jessie Ac-
herman, our world missionaries.
AS the Union Signal says-with such
a representation our Worlds Conven-
ton will be an unquestioned success.
wish every temperance woman in
the land could be there. In the face
of all these grand facts about our
grand work, who can forget another
time to wear her white ribbon?

Stanford's Two Palm Trees.

Mr.. Stanford was not superstitious,
but he believed that his life was linked
with that Of two palm trees which he
had planted in front Of his Pdo Alto
home. He bestowed great care on
these trees, and they fDurIshed until a
few weeks before his death, when their
leaves began to turn yellow. No one
noticed this change until one evening
the senator called the attention OF
one of his closest friends to the trees
and said he regarded this as a bad
omen. He sad solemnly, "Whcn
those trees die, my lie will end"
The palm trees are now dead, and
Stanford hes lifeless in the shadow Of
their withered tops. - Neao York
