pie of ethics is here involved. The
man who has work to give has learned
that the best way of taking care OF
number one is to give that work to the
teetotaler, not as reward of merit,
but because it will be better done; and
the spree-drunkard goes to the wall,
not because his vice is regarded as "a
monster of dreadful mien,' but be-
cause he can not be depended upon.
This waking up of those in charge of
great industries to the fact that Ito
parody Talleyrand) drunkenness is
worse than vice-it is an obstacle to
business, will in time become potent
factor in the temperance cause. When
the man who considers himself rather
virtuous because he is far oftener sober
than drunk, finds himself left with
out regard to almanac or thermome-
teri he will begin to think seriously
about cure for his little infirmity;
and then if he acts after such think
ing, and does not fall into the hands
of the fake, all will go well with him.

LINCOLN'S GREAT PURPOSE.

1t Gives Him Not Only Local Celebrity,
but World Fame, Too.
The conviction that Lincoln was
much more than the Great Emancipa-
tor is pronounced with full sense of
the possible shock it may bring to those
who love to think of Lincolns chief
renown as connected with the race he
freed from bondage. 1t is hard for
many of us not to feel that emancipa-
ton was the great achievement of that
struggle, and that the war was waged
to decide whether this should be free
nation or a land of bonds and stripes.
But the wiser years will decide against
us. All our thankfulness and honor to
the man who made the act of emanci-
patton weapon with which to strike
rebellion must not blind us to the fact
that this splendid stroke of policy, this
noble deed of statecraft, was only an
incident and not the aim of the strug-
gle. Viewed in it's relations to the
long world history, the development of
mankind, the work of civilization, the
American people under their great
leader were engaged in determining
whether the great principle of fedora
ton, the peaceful coexistence of great
states, should succeed or fail. They
were in a struggle to decide whether
the rule of peace and good will should
extend, or stop and como further. And
Abraham Lincoln'S clear, unerring eye
perceived the meaning of the struggle,
his strong mind grasped it's vital inn
mort and hic Stp foCt cn11l pl11nU To
that thought with tenacity t lat could
be expressed only in some such words
as Paurs: This one thing l do"
We have thus far been accustomed to
rank our great president among the
heroes of our own land, and seldom
have dared to talk of him in connec-
ton with his place among the worlds
famous ones. Some times it has seemed
to come to us th2S he was worthy
fame outside the limits of this land.
Some rare voices have found courage
to say, as Lowell said:
Here was type of the true elder race,
And one of Plutarchs men talked with US
face 10 face.
There is enough in his personality,
so fresh, so strong, 50 inspiring, to JUS
tify our highest pride in him, and to
make us hold up this new product Of
our new land, whose honesty and
strong good sense, whose earnest faith
and indomitable purpose fit him to
stand like modern Aristides or New
World Cato. But when the slow judg-
ment of the years is made up it will
take this man of the west, who led us
through the fires of terrible civil
strife and, seeing how his achievement
reached out to all mankind and secured
the work which cost the toll and strug-
gle of ages, will range him side by side
with the men who saved Greece from
Persian barbarism, and those who
saved Rome from Gallo anarchy, and
those who gave this continent to the
free institutions of the English race. -

it would be great sport to steal a few

took several bottles, choosing those

opened each one q bottle and took
several long drinks. After bit they
took several more, and then started

during the war.
All this goes to dispel the pcssimistic
idea that this is heartless world. In
fact, people were never so warm
hearted and charitable as they are to-
day, taking them as a whole. OF

A LONDON inebriate died suddenly

DR. BoDE, of Heldesheim, declares
that the manufacture OF Intoxicating
liquors in Germany robs the country
yearly of four and one-half millions of
acres; it plunges thirty-two thousand
into such poverty that they must be
supported by the state or by friends;
it sends four thousand two hundred
and fifty into compulsory confinement
in labor colonies; it has robbed thirty
thousand of their reason and it has
raised an army Of criminals, one hun
bred and fifty-nine thousand strong.
The evils OF lntemperance are so
common that but little impression is
made upon the public mind when the
record of crimes and accidents is pub
lished as the direct result of drunken
ness. The consumption of alcoholic
beverages is now estimated as costing
over seven hundred millions a year in
this country, and the deaths from in
temperance are placed at one hundred
thousand annually. The increase OF
the death rate keeps pace with the in
crease of consumption. and when we
take into account the deaths that are
the indirect result, the figures are
alarming. To illustrate, the regis
trar general of Great Britain reports
tho deaths of three thousand infants
in one year as over laid or killed by
drunken mothers

white hyacinths tied with a knot of

RELIGION IN ROME.



As Rome became a residence for all
strange gods, it also became both the
religious capital of the world and it's
religious center. 1t became, and was
called the Holy City anuf the .4ter-
nal City," and so when Christianity
ultimately triumphed, it still retained
those titles, and became naturally, as
well as for other reasons, regarded as
the religious capital of the Christian
world.
Only two religions were excluded
from the almost universal liberation
of aganism-namely, Judaism and
Christianity. Fathers of the Church
have complained of this, yet somewhat
unreasonably: for the concord which
existed between the various pagan
forms resulted from their willingness
to make reciprocal concessions. This
neither Jews nor Christians would,
nor could, consent to; and they had
naturally to take the consequences.
Yet peace was offered to them on the
same conditions as to others. The
pagans We're ready to recognize in Je-
hovah their own Jupiter and Bacchus,
and not few We're willing to keep the
Sabbath and observe Jewish fasts and
feasts There were also some Jews,
like Herod, who would not have re-
GREETED such mutual understanding
but the mass of the nation repealed
them with horror, and thereby in
Cured bloody prosecutions, wherein
thousands lost their lives, and furious
hatred against them arose, which only
ceased when they associated them
selves with the pagans to prosecute
Christianity.
The Christians, as everyone knows,
were also offered what were deemed
favorable terms, and little difficulty
would have been felt in the acceptance
of Christ as one god more, and (as
readers will remember) His image had
its place in the private chapel of the
Emperor Alexander Severus, beside
those of Orpheus and Apollonius But
no consistent Christian could tolerate
idolatry, even to the extent of scatter
ing few grains of incense on the al
tars either of the Goddess of Rome or
of the Genius of the Emperor. Such a
| spirit of eXclusiveness was a new thing
to the pagans, and naturally appeared
| disloyal to the Romans and opposed to
| the very essence of civicism.-Nine-

Gen. "Sam" Houston was the orator
for frontier audience. 'Tt used to be
said, writes his biographer, that
there were but two things that could
draw out the people of Texas-a circus
and Sam Houston" An illustrate of
his power to hush their noisy turbu-
lence occurred in the Texan congress-
during the discussion of President La
mars scheme to conquer New Mexico
Among the flamboyant speeches
which had been made about planting
the Lone Star flag on the cathedral
towers of Santa Fe, there was one, ut
tered by q young legislator, Van
Zandt, which so ticllled Houston's sense
of humOr that he thus replied to it:
"a Tennessee neighbor once sta
toned his negro Caesar, with rifle, at
deer drive, and told him to shoot
when the animal broke cover. The
deer sprang out, brt the rifle made no
sound. When Caesar was cursed for
not shooting, he replied:
"'Massa, dat buck jump So high
think he break his own neck

Eandt; he jumps so high in his speech
that he breaks his own neck, and it is
not necessary 20 shoot at him"
