Facts for Workingmen.

Are you a grocer? How much more
would you sell if there were no saloons
in the neighborhood d?
Are you butcher? How much more
meat would your customers buy ifthe
saloons did not take their cash ?
Are you shoe maker? How many
more shoes would be sold If the saloons
were shut?
Are you baker? How many more
losves would you sell if liquor wasn't
sold?
Are you merchant? How much
better would your business be if the
money spent for liquor were spent
hereafter for furniture, for clothing,
for houses, for -four, for provisions, fol
coal, for books. for hats, for shoes,
etc., etc.?
Are yeu 9 wage-earner Then listen
to this, for it is the frozen truth: II
the saloons were shut up tomorrow
there would be within one month call
for two million workmen more than
are employed to-day. The call would
come from all lines Of industry.
Take single case. Here's family
that spend ten dollars year on shoes.
They don't spend more because the
head of the family is trying to support
a saloon as well as his home.
Shut up the saloons, and that family
will buy twenty-five dollars worth OF
shoes every year. That means fifteen
dollars more than now for shoes for
one family. Multiply that by three
millions the number of drunkards
in the land), and it would make more
of shoes to be sold.---Sel.

deciduous teeth should be carefully

expensive, and will save the child
much pain and trouble from an aching

deciduous teeth often causes the irreg

Her Prayer.

This was how it happened. The
last two sleeping-cars were thrown
down the embankment. / was in one
of those cars. And a perfect wreck
they were, a mass of broken timbers.
Truly, it was kindling-wood, and 1t
kindled.
Then arose an appalling wall of
souls in agony. Human prayers and
human curses prayers to be taken,
prayers to be spared while straight
into the air rose the pillar of steam
and smoke.
Staggering and amazed, filled with
wonder at my escape, l heard pitiful
little moan amidst tangled mass OF
splintered timbers, bell-cords and vel.
vet cushions.
Poor little girl! I remembered she
had sat in the seat in front of me.
Her golden curls had seemed an aure.
ole, that enhanced the sweetness OF
her pure face. With the help OF
others, l succeeded in extricating her
bruised and broken form.
She was horribly lacerated, but her
face, by some rare chance, remained
untouched. We laid her gently down,
beyond the heat of the burning cars.
The moisture of agony was on her
cold white forehead, her eyes were
contracted with unutterable pain.
The scarlet thread of her pure little
lips was parted, her mouth was parch-
ed and dry and drawn. She did not
see us-she was looking far beyond.
Though she wished for death to end
her agony, yet she feared to suffer
greater pain. With all the sweet sim
plicity of child's faith she closed her
eyes and said, "Oh, take me, God, but
please be easy !"
He took her. The rigor of her face
relaxed, and the smile that illuminated
it was evidence enough to us who
remained, that He had answered her
prayer.
