Analysis of tho Cigarette

The Denisop Dispatch says that a
cigarette is roll of paper, tobacco
and drugs, with a small fire at one
end and large fool at the other.
Some Of it's chief enjoyments are con
densed nightmares, fits, cancer of the
lips and stomach, spinal meningitis,
softening of the brain, funeral pro-
cessions and mothers shrouded in
gloom. There are plenty Of subjects
left. however, who are perfectly will
ing to undergo trials of such trivial
nature for the sake of putting on a
certain amount OF style.

stand by Your Town.

Stand by your town; remember in
it you make your home. Stand by it
as you would your family or wife,
for the town is your own; therefore,
never run 1t down. Give the town
you live in of your best; give it the
benefit of your experience in the way
of improvement and growth. Chicago
does not need you to speculate on her
city government, but your town may
need your help and sympathy, says
an exchange. If you don't like your
town, clear out and let somebody else
in. Don't be afraid of every dollar
you invest in the way of improvement;
not ten cent piece is spent but there
is some good that comes from it.
Stand by all things that tend to adj
vance the general good, and bitterly
stand against all who run the town
down. Stand by your town and let
the other fellow sit on the cracker
box and white, talk and do nothing.
Such fellow is no good to himself or
anybody else. Be thorough advo-
cate Of your city or nothing.

were horribly mangled on the rail
road because of drunken engineers
or flagmen. Some were blown up
on a steamboat because a drunken
captain ran a race with rival boat.
But here comes another army--of
children-innocent ones on whom
have been visited the iniquities of
their fathers.
How many are there?
Two hundred thousand.
Marching two abreast they ex-
tend up the street 80 miles.
Each must bear through life the
stigma of being a drunkard's
child.
They are reduced to poverty,
want and beggary. They live in
ignorance and vice.
Some moan with hunger, some
shiver with cold, for they have not
rags enough to keep them warm.
A large number are idiots, made
SO before they were born by brutal
parents.
And, worse than all, many have
inherited love for liquor and are
growing up to take the places and
do the deeds Of their fathers. They
will fill the ranks of the awful army
of sots that moves in an unbroken
column down to death.
It has taken nearly a year for the
street to empty itself of its years
work. And close in the rear comes
the vanguard of another years
supply.
And if that is what liquor does
in our country, and in one year,
what must have been its~results in
all the world, through all the cen
turtles?

funeral procession 1888 miles in
length.
It will take a good share of the
year for them to go by, for funeral
professions move slowly. Yes,
most of them do. But now and
then an uncofined corpse in a
rough cart is driven rapidly by and
we hear the brutal driver sing,
"Rattle his bones over the stones;
he's only a pauper whom nobody
owns"
Look into the collins as they 60
by. See the dead drunkards..
Some died of delirium tremens
and the lines of terror are still
plainly marked on their faces.
Some froze to death by the road
side, too drunk to reach their
homes. Some wandered into the
woods and died and rotted on the
surface of the earth. Some blew
their own brains out. Some were
fearfully stabbed or shot in drunk
en- brawls. Some were roasted in
burning buildings. Some were
crushed to shapeless masses under
the cars.
They died in various ways but
strong drink killed them all, and
their tombstones-if they have

died drunkard's death"

other long line of funeral process

but they are numerously attended

At the head of the army is a

With ropes around their necks,
they are on their way to the gal

Others are going to prison for
life.
Every crime known to our laws
has been committed by these per-
sons while under the influence of
drink.
But bark! Whence come those
yells, and who are those that go
raging by, bound with strong
chains and guarded by strong
men?
They are raving maniacs, made
such by strong drink.
Their eyes are tormented with
awful sights and their ears ring
with fearful sounds. Shiny rep
tiles crawl over their bodies and
fiends from hell torture them be-
fore their time.
They are gone now and we can
breathe more freely.

vades the air and what is that long
line of black coming slowly down

out in a year.

II Is a rather shameful fact that our

OF nonresidents, there being only two sail
vessels hailing from our port. So far as il
is foreign freight traffic, we. as all other
