WITHOUT WINE U G

WINE SAUCE.
The following suggestive incident,
given in the N. Y. Evangelist, serves to
show how much we may help or hinder
another, quite unconsciously it may
be. by our example:
A young man sat at q hotel table with
a gentleman and a lady friend for
whom he felt the greatest respect. Tie
waiter said to the gentleman, Twill you
have pudding with wine sauce ?"
yes" was the answer. The young
mans craving for strong drink was
aroused at the mention of the wine
sauce, and he also was about to reply
afirmatively to the walters question
when his lady friend quickly said,
pudding without wine sauce, If you
please" without wine sauce" came
the young mans reply.
Afterward, in the parlor, he said to
her, II want to thank you for doing me
a great favor" She looked astonished.
"You do not know what II meant to
ME when you said at the dinner table,
pudding without wine sauce, IL you
please" He then told her his strug-
gle against strong drink and how near
he had come to falling, saved only by
her timely example.
The uniform example of abstinence
from all use of intoxicants on our part
can harm no one and may help many.
WOMAN SUFFRAGE MANS RIGHT.
In the recent debate on woman suf.
frage in the Massachusetts, Legislature,
Mr.. Darling, of Hyde Park, said:
Whether 1t Is a right born in woman,
or not, does not matter to me in the
slightest. I urge the passage of this
bill as my right, as the right of the men
OF this Commonwealth. Look over all
the departments of life with which
you and l come in contact every day,
and you will believe, with me, that
there has been a steady march Of pro-
gress and advancement in the last gen.
GRAFTON In every department except
one, and that Is the political depart
ment of our Government. No man
will deny that our political life has
been abased, and is being abased more
and more every day that we live. 1t
may be a remarkable coincidence, but
1t is the only element Of our life into
which woman has never been allowed
to enter. 1t has been claimed that the
better classes of women do not want to
vote. In Colorado they have been tax
ing a house to house registration of
women, not waiting for them to come
and say whether they will be registered
or not, but asking them to be registered;
and the results Of that canvass are
greater than anticipated. A large per
cent. Of the women have registered,
and the largest number 80 registered
were from the best localities, while the
number decreased gradually down the
social scale. 1t has been said that If
the right is given to women they will
not vote. In the State OF Wyoming,
where woman have had full suffrage
for the last twenty five years, q larger
percentage of the women voted last
year, than Of men in Massachusetts,.
Does that show that the women will
not voter Are not these facts worth
consideringp The Legislature of Wy
oming has recently said. by a resolu-
ton, that the exercise Of the franchise
by the women in that State has wrought
no harm but has done great good in
many ways. That it has very largely
aided in banishing crime, pauperism
and vice from the State, and without
any violent legislation. That 1t has Sc
cured peaceful and orderly elections
and good government; and they urge
every civilized community on earth to
enfranchise its women without delay.
If that is wha. the West is doing, the
sooner we follow suit the better.
