West Side druggist, sold out last week

We are reliably informed that there
was not drunken man to be seen on
our streets Christmas eve or day.
This is rather remarkable, when the
freedom with which intoxicants can W.

The bicycle is forging to the front as
a temperance medium, because a fell
low cannot ride one with a load of
booze on board. 1t takes "a clear

saloons located on popular drives near
large cities 1t is difficult for fud
died brain to keep the center of gravi-
ty on terra firma," and the wheel |
man must be sober. Thank God for
the bicycle.
