No Apology Needed.
N. Y. Witness.

A pleasant story is told of Lady Macdonald wife
of the late Premier of Canada, who has long been
abstaner. Another lady of high position met her at
dinner day and was surprised to see that she
took no wine, and at length asked:
"Did you not set out wine when you entertained
the Marquis of LorneY
''Never!" the prompt reply.
"But did you not feel that you must apologize?"
"Certainly not. Wine is not natural beverage,
and should rather in than go out with
apology
This answer and that example led the other lady
to become an abstainer also.

The brewers endeavoring to rival each other

difficulty in getting before the readers of many

statement that persons who growing old need
habitually tonic. The whisky men are also filling
the papers with advertisements quoting certain ply

Beware of the Bar-Room Bank.

JAMES ALBERT WISCONSIN,
Beware of the barroom bank, my boy!
Deposit money there
Though profits accrue, they not for YOU
The bar room bank you should never choose,
Depostors there have much to lose!
Beware of the bar room bank, my boy
It's aplace to loathe and abhor,
For honor and truth, independence and youth,
Come not from it's open door;
But sad procession of sorrow and care
Comes staggering forth to eternal despair!
Beware of the bar room bank, my boy!
God gives us talents of gold
Hope honor and health, contentment wealth,
And promise of joy untold
In the bar room bank, if we hide them away,
What account give at the Judgment Day?
Beware of the bar-room bank my boy!:E
And help us to close the door;
If people to-day would vote they pray,
We'd close it forever more;
And homes would be happy and hearts would be light
For want would depart like dream in the night!
Beware of the bar-room bank, my boy!
Deposit no talent there
Though profits accrue, they not for you
But yours is an awful share
Of sorrow, remorse and eternal despair
Oh, my boy, of the bar-room bank beware!
