III the Confederate soldier ever had

day the old veterans love him. This love
was beautifully illustrated at the last
meeting OF Lee Camp, February 18th.
Before adjournment an old soldier arose
and said: "Mr. Commander. / hear that

pubic reception. Lee Camp ought TO be
there. DR.. Hoge Is one Of the best friends

WHY, simply because she is afraid to go to Chi

did. Gods and angels know better than to
trust themselves within reach of United States
courts, having had experience enough with the
same sort of institutions thousand or so years
ago. Gods and angels fly high now when pass

itself with human blood, though it still shifts
eagerly toward the blood of God whose blood

food to feed that ferocious monster?-a fearful

THERE is more truth than poetry in the con-
slant plant of the Prohibitionists that both of
the old parties are dependent on the liquor in
terests The substantial truth is that liquor
men are adherents of both parties and each
party, left to itself, would equally favor the
cause of personal liberty. This is illustrated in
the result of the landslide that buried the DEM
ocrats last November. The Legislature elected
will be strongly Republican, yet among the

THIS, from RAMS Horn, is ''too good to
keep:
There is many "four corners" in this land
where church and saloon stand in open rival
ny. No, not open. The church is open three
to five hours of the week the saloon is open
every minute of the day and night. But it is
not only open, it is warm and light and CHEEKY.
For five cents one can get not only enough to
drink, but enough to eat. The Devil is running
the liquor business, and it hasn't taken him all
these years to learn that if he makes the soloon
and hunger and WEAKNESS position is i'm
pregnable. We have often wondered why Satan
is permitted to exist. Perhaps it is that he
may teach the church how to reach the Master.
