Luther Benson on Liquor.


son, the NEST eloquent temperance
lecturer Oh the American platform,
uttered the following touchlDgly
beautiful words:
"God never made one drop of
liquor. You may examine every
fluid and every structure of that
being whom God has taught to
laugh or to weep, and of all the
tribes Of animated existences that
roam the woods, or wing the sky,
or roll along the flood, and you will
not find one crop of liquor. Then
go into the vegetable kingdom and
analyze the alimentary seeds, the
luscious fruits and the esculent
roots, and you will not find one
drop OF liquor. Then 60 down
into the mineral regions search
through every stratum of the
earth's surface, explore the depths
of old ocean herself, and | say to
you that nature, throughout all her
domain, animate and inanImate,
never produced one drop of liquor
Whence comes it, then? Man
led on by the solicitations of a de-
PRAYED instinct, produced liquor,
but not by any process of growth
or development 1t is the child of
fermentation. rottenness, decay
and death, and not the child of life
and development, and it has no
more place among mans beverages
than arsenic has among his food.
With just the same reason and
truth you can dig the iron ore out
of the mountains and make can
mons and mold cannon balls and
blow and tear each others limbs
off, and then, mangled, wounded,
bleeding and dying, cry cut that
cannons are Gods good creatures,
madc~to be used and not abused, as
you can take Gods rich grains and
turn them into crime. pauperism,
sin, disease and death. Then
shame on the man or woman who
ever again says liquor is one of
Gods good creatures! 1t is the
foulest fiend that ever slimed ur
out of the red-hot fires of hell
God gave us the water He min.
giles the pure gases together and
produces it. He puts it in the
rock basins of the sea, where he
purifeS it. Then with the gentle
arms of the wind, he lifts them UP
into the clouds, where he rounds
them into drops and pours then
down upon the earth in showers
For human diseases and disorder
God medlcates the water with the
sulphur and the iron and the mag
nesia. For human luXuries ht
puts it to the mouths of the root!
and pours it through the sap vein!
into the fruit of the grape, the
peach and the berry and all the
myriad forms of life. For oul
sense of beauty he causes it to dia
mond in the dew drop, color in the
river and emerald in the ocean
shimmering everywhere in blushe'
of silvery gladness beneath the sun
smiles of the Creator. God ha
provided for every natural want o
man, but no cloud ever swept thi
earth and brought with it the bap
tism of alcohol"
In speaking of the effects O
liquor, its fearful ruin of both body
and mind, he said:
1--WE touch very nigh Deity wher
we stand on the summit of intel
lectual vigor. In a little hollow
globe, bounded by skull with /;
dome no larger than tortoise shell

VIII Take lien Think.

Bryan's speech was the best ev-
er listened to, and [ heard every
word Of it. 1t cannot help setting
business men Of the East to think
ing Of something besides the gold
they never see, and to asking where
the trade is that they have lost i'll
the West and South, because the
people do not get enough for their
crops to enable them to buy any
thing. That speech carries the
country for the democratic ticket.
All | want is million copies Of it
to use in Wisconsin, and he can
have the electoral vote.

Former Governor Of Wisconsin.

Hi for Bryan.

1t has been authoritatively an
nOunced that Senator Hill will sup
port Bryan and the Chicago plat
form and work for it. This means
great deal for the cause Of silver
in the East. The New York Dem
ocratjc State machine has also fal-
len into line and sent Bryan an in
vitation to spend a day in Catskill

Capturing a Wildcat:
For the Recorder.

TOI Tue NSSOAuSl'
For some time a nocturnal visit
or had been making frequent raid
raids on the poultry yard at tn
home of Mr.. VIM. Woodzelle. Al
vg lance in regard to traps, gun7
dogs and watchfulness failed t.
catch the intruder. The some
thing" was very successful, an(
once disappeared with a half-dozer
chickens worth $1.123 per dozen
Always escaping, it grew bolder
until one night this week the still
night air was rent with squalls,
squawks and futterings from an
old hen, who, with her family OF
Young chickens, had been peace
fully sleeping until her home was
invaded by the enemy. The inmates
Of neighboring coops took up the
strain ard Immediately enSued great
commotion, while feathers were
strewn over the scene of the battle
Mr.. WocdzelIe, in such haste that
he forgot his shoes, went to the re. =
cue.
The wildcat--for that is what it
was-astonished at the sight of the
reinforcement, beat a precipitate
retreat, with the dog close at its
heels. On. on they went in the
gloom and darkness, the trio fol-
lowing the footsteps Of each other,
the wildcat hunted, dashing, turn
ing, striving for freedom and,
doubtless. in it's own way, resolving
to let chickens alone in the future;
the dog striving, reaching, grasp
ing for the prize Just beyond his
reach, and followed by the hunter
over rocks and logs with weary feet
into the forest. At last the chase
was over, one of the party was up a
tree, the other two keeping watch.
Then came a shout on the still
night air: "Oh, Will! bring me
the gun and the matches. s."
There was soon the fourth arri-
val at the tree, Mr.. Will Ginger,
asking: "Mr. Woodzelle, have you
got a bear?"
i've got something. [ believe
its a wildcat"
The ensuing conversation was
too low for the ears listening at the
farmhouse window, but soon a
bright light showed a fire built
near the tree, and the watchers
until morning.
In the clear gray dawn they took
their positions, ready for the bat
tie, Mr.. Woodzelle with a club, Mr..
Ginger with a gun, ard the dog
impatlently, ready for any
emergency. A sharp report and |
all was over. The animal fell with
)ut sound, without a movement. |
