TRYING TO BEG OFF.

SIT was whisky did it" whimpered q
prisoner, lately sent to the penitentiary for
an infamous crime. Wrong you are, it was
not whisky. 1t was you who did it.: You,
who voluntarily, wifully and deliberately
swallowed stuff that stole away your brains,
and turned you into ademon. Don't blame
It on whisky. Nobody compelled you to
drink; perhaps you were not even asked to
do 80. There is no excuse for the wretch
who whines for sympathy. putting the
blame on whisky. God never gave man
his senses to barter them away, as the
whisky wretch does. It will not be the
whisky that will suffer in the next world. II
will be the drunkard. or him it has been
said he shall not inherit the kingdom OF
God. "It was whisky" will not be accepted
as an excuse at the bar Of final justice

THE argument most frequently
urged in favor Of changing inaugu
ration day from March to some less
lnclement date is that some time we
may lose newly elected president as
a result of exposure during the in
duction exercises. The danger, ii
must be admitted, Is Of serious
nature, but there is no doubt that
the country will always be able to
find patriots willing to take the risk,
even should the date remain un.
changed.

TEMPERANCE.
ALWAYS DRINKING; NEVER DRUNK.

The way in which some persons often be-
come the unconscious victims of alcohol is
stated by Swiss journal as follows: THE

of alcoholism without his having ever, per-

WHAT ALCOHOLISM MEANS.

In their study Of statistics the German
authorities have discovered that crime, pau
perism and disease have increased in pro-
portion as the sale Of alcoholic drinks has
Increased. They declare that alcohol means
the deterioration Of the Nation, and the
Government promptly seeks to stem the
tide by throwing stringent, even harsh, re-
strictions around the sale Of liquor.

Bear in mind, my friend, that your happI-
ness or your misery is very much your own
making. You caLnot create spiritual sum
light any more than you can create the morn-

Christ is shining. Keep clear conscience.
Keep good stock of Gods promises within
reach Keep nightingale of hope in your
soul that can sing away the dark hours when
they do come. Keep good, robust faith
that can draw honey out of rocks and oil ou'
of flinty rocks. Never spend day without
trying to do somebody good, and then. keep

"All indigents receiving aid from Alameda

should not cease giving them aid.
lndgents have often drawn money under two
names. Tney are often undeserving of aid
Many times they use the money given them for
