A TEMPERANCE SERMON.
Why the Judge Was an Earnest Advo-
cate Of Abstinence From Liquor.

The judge had been to q temperance
meeting and on his way home out in the
Capitol hill neighborhood he grew talk
ative.
II confess" said he, with the dignity
Of an ex-county judge holding $1,000
position in the treasury department,
that though go to temperance meet
ings with great regularity, I also take a
drink in the same ratio, because think
that temperance meeting and a drink
Is worthy of my esteem and encourage
ment, albeit in different ways. Yet am
a bachelor today, owing entirely to my
asking man to take drink with me-
A married man at this point suggested
to the Judge that he might be asked to
do something of that sort without dan
ger of similar result, but the judge
gave him no heed.
"You see," he continued, when was
about q was desperately in love with
a certain girl and I had but one rival,
and him did not greatly fear. He lived
in a town about 100 miles from mine and
used to come over to spark the young
lady about once month. I knew all
along that he wasn't making any head
way, or heartway, either, for that mat
ter. and one day when he came over and
the girl gave him permission to stay
away permanently I met him at hotel
where he was about to take bus for
the train to take him home forever. We
were good friends and he told me the
sad story of his defeat and congratulate
ed me as the supposed happy man. 1
thought was, too, but you can't always
tell about a woman. Well, of course, I
asked him to come and have a drink
with me as a selace, but he demurred on
the ground that the bus wouldn't wait
and he couldn't afford to miss the train.
But I spoke to the driver and assured
my friend that the bus would give him
time enough to take a. nip. and he went
In with me. One drink meant two, and
when the two had been taken the bus
was gone and, there wasn't another train
that night, 30 l coaxed him to stay over
and make a night of it with me and the
boys.
This was easy enough, and we had
another drink. It was then about
o'clock, and he said he would meet me at
6, as he had some business to attend to
up to that time, But he didn't appear at
the appointed hour, nor at later hour.
In fact, he didn't show up at all, and
we had to have our night without him.
Next morning, however he showed up,
but instead of looking the wreck l ex-
pected to see he was as radiant as a
flower asked him what had happened,
put ne only sInlleu ana hurried along TO
catch his train. That evening l called on
the young lady, and the first thing she
did was to thank me for making Mr..
Blank stay over for they had settled
their difficulties and were to be married
within month. All of which turned out
to be true, and they were married and
have lived happily ever since.
Now" concluded the judge, as they
passed a quiet place, 'if all the men in
this party are married men except my
self we will go in here and have some-
thing" which was accordingly DONE

ST. PAUL'S ERROR.

When the rivalry between st. Paul
and Minneapolis was at its height, along
in the middle eighties, and each city was
striving to discover new attraction for
the three millions of people tributary
to the Twins, st. Paul hit upon the very
chilly problem of constructing an Ice
palace-and it was built-and It went
and it took-and st. Paul people were
simply wild over its success. About a
year later the immigration committee
reported that owing to erron eous i'm
pressions created in the minds Of inn
migrants with reference to climatic con-
ditiens where the ice palace whose walls
were four feet in diameter could remain
for three months out Of the year. inmi-
grafton had practically ceased. And then
there was great number of consulta-
tions, interchanges of opinions, and the
ice palace was relegated to the Hudson
Bay company, and the st. Paul people
have been apologizing for its construc-
ton ever since. The other day, however,
relief came to their burdened souls in an
unexpected way. These good people
suddenly discovered that ice palaces had
been constructed in Moscow, Russia 155
years ago-thus furnishing a precedent
for st. Paups folly, which bore the age

Until few years ago little Wiscon-
sin hamlet was known simply as Hog
Back from the peculiar shape of a hill
near there" said a Milwaukee drummer
in the Chicago Times Herald. Finally
the citizens held an indignation meeting
to wipe out the plebeian name and find
better one. 1t was decided to honor
the place by giving it the name of the
Oldest settler, a man named King.
Somebody suggested Kings Mills and
another Kingsville' and so on, but the
old man himself objected Then it was
agreed to name the town for one of Mr..
Kings daughters. But he had seven of
them, and jealousies promptly cropped
out. At last some genius noticed that
all the girls were red-headed, and sug-
eested 'Auburndale.' And Auburndale

THE SALVATION ARMY

The headquarters of Salvation army
corps No. l, on Spring street, was a busy
place yesterday from 12 o'clock until
evening. For the past three weeks the
red shirted soldiers and blue bonneted
lassies have patiently sat or stood at
prominent places on the business streets
all day and sometimes into the night.
quietly asking the public to contribute
its mite to help provide a Christmas
dinner for the homeless and hungry.
In some cases men have worked hard
all day and staid up until the early hours
of the morning to aid those less FORUM
ate than themselves. In this way $500
in money was secured and many contri-
buttons of clothing and supplies sent
in, to be distributed to the needy, by
these self-denyfng and earnest peopIe.
The large room on Spring street was
decorated with Christmas greens and
flowers and the walls hung with the ma
tional colors and flags Of the army.
Four long tables extended the length
of the room, with seats for fifty at each
one. The menu i4cludedu roast turkey,
cranberry sauce, celery, vegetables,
fruit. hot coffee and all that goes to
make up a good, bountiful Christmas
feast. The hungry crowd waiting for
the doors to open blocked the sidewalk.
While dinner was in preparation and
when everything was ready they filed
in and took their places eagerly. The
captain requested all to rise and sing
the doxology, and after a fervent and
touching prayer for the welfare of their
bodies, the salvation Of their souls and
aid in their distress, they were told to
fall to and eat all they could.
The first tables drang Is gallons of hot,
strong coffee, and still there were more
calls for coffee. One man alone drank
six large cupsful. The faces surround
ing the tables were those of men OF all
ages-old, young and those in middle

charity, having the marks of refinement
and having known better things; others

with all there had been a decided effort
to appear well combed and clean as cir
cumstances admitted. There were some
fifty women and children among them,
some of the mothers with three or four
little ones clinging to their skirts. There
was fruit enough contributed for each
person to eat or carry away an apple and
orange.
More care than usual was exercised

The rooms Of the Associated Charities,
usually so busy on other days Of the
week, were quiet and deserted yesterday,
to give the very much overworked people
in charge day of rest from the mourn
full demands upon them, if not entire
freedom from work. The room where
supplies are received is piled high with
fair store of bags, boxes and baskets,
increased by the Christmas offerings
from the public schools. Some few things
were given out for special cases on
Christmas morning, where the need was
most pressing. The superintendent was
busy sorting and arranging clothing and
food for future distribution. The sup
ply on hand is measurably sufficient for
immediate necessities, but the demand
is increasing and calls for help were
never so numerous as they are this win
ter.
During the past year the association
has been able to continue Its work
by the personal efforts Of Capt Cross,
who secured pledges for monthly contri-
buttons from business men Of the city,
but when the new year dawns these
pledges will all expire, and there is not
a dollar in the treasury for future work.
None Of the money received is paid out

money in the treasury to do it with. The
association knows no politics, religion
nor nationality; it's applicants come

from the steppes of Russia and every 9TH
er country under the sun. The work done
this year has been greatly in excess Of
any preceding, and the anticipations are
that the next six months will Sc no dim

perience of the association in relieving
want Is that of every other charitable
organization-the most deserving per-
sons are the most difficult to aid; those
who suffer the most keenly are not the
ones readiest to make their wants
known. Some of the most pitiful cases
require handling with the strictest Sc
cresy. their distressing poverty being
hidden from the most intimate friends

Charities is 81 year, and in this city of
