right, for Home. aud God and Native
Land, to that end, we appeal to every
manly heart, and to every sympathetic
woman, to engage in the crusade
against all evil.
1t is said, that woman's tongue, is
her weapon of self-defense; that being
true we conclude she is justifable in
| making use of it, in so great and hu-
name a cause as temperance. In this
| instance, however, the pen intends
neither offense, nor defense, but rather
to express the feelings and sentiments
of some of our people, concerning that
debaser of mankind, the liquor traffic.
| Much has been said, and will yet be
said, on this subject. so long as the
evil exists. But all the horrors of in
temperance are too terrible to be fully
appreciated, unless brought to our own
| hearts and homes. No pen has ever
exaggerated in portraying drunken
ness iu all its hideoueness.
The question, why should we have
Prohibition?" is a question that does
| not have to search for an answer; the
reasons why" come rolling IN, from
all over the land, and we can sum it
all up in one good reason: Whiskey
banishes virtue from the heart, and
creates a hell within it. We might
meet that question by the counter ques-
ton. Is there one single good healthy
reason why we should tolerate this
blight on civilization? If we feel that
we are lacking in reasons for COM

DOG SHOOTS THE CHUTEs.
St Louis Animal Tries it Once and
Wants to Go Again.

st. Louis, July 17.-Henry w. Bohle,
vice president of the St Louis Vehicle
Owners association, is the proud owner
of dog that likes to shoot the chuteS.
Wednesday night Mr.. Bohle and DR.. F.
l.. Pepperl1ng went to the chuteS at
Grand avenue and Herbert street
Neither had been down the slide, and
they decided to try the experiment.
They did not notice that Mr.. Bohle'S
big Newfoundland dog was following
them until they reached the chutes, and
then it was too late to drive him back
When they got to the top of the in
cline, ready for the start, there stood
the great brute, good-natured1y Wag-
g1ng his tail. The attendants tried to
drive the dog down, but the animal was
not to be mOnkeyed with by common
chute tenders, and when they caught a
glimpse of his long white teeth grinning
ominous1y at them, they called it Off,
and turned the job over to the owner.
Everybody was afraid that if the dog
remained there would be an accident,
but old ToWser was on the qui ViVe all
the while and carefully kept his carcass
out of harms way. Finding that it was
useless to attempt to drive the dog
down or to shake him when he had
been led to the bottom, Mr.. Bohle and
the doctor determined to get aboard
and let the animal find his way down
as best he could.
But even in that the Newfoundland
was more than match for them. The
ready for the downward slide and
plunge into the water old Towser was
on deck. and try as they would, he
could not even be driven from his posi-
ton. He even growled and showed his
teeth at his master when the latter at
tempted to dislodge him, and it was
finally decided that in spite of the dan
ger of the experiment the dog should
be given a ride.
The boat was cut loose and went
down the chute like a cannon ball, but
old TOwSer sat there as composedly as
though he had been shooting the chutes
all his life. When the boat struck the
water old Towser lost his self-posses-
sion for a. moment, yelped like a Piute
and leaped fully ten feet into the air
but it was only for a moment, for when
he landed he assumed all the dignity of
a schoolmarm, and resumed his seat as
though nothing at all had happened
He really seemed to feel ashamed of
himself for having made himself ridicu-
lous in the eyes of his fellow-passen-
gers, and from that time on hung his
head mark of humiliation.
When the boat was landed the dog
ran up to the elevator and waged his
tail in the most vigorous manner frisk-
ed around like pup. and seemed to be
anxious to go up and try it over again.
Yesterday he hung around the chutes
all day, waiting for someone to take
him up. His single experience has
made chute f1end of him.

MRS. HAYS ESCAPE.
An Omnibus Collides With Her Car
riage.

London, July 17.-Mrs. John Hay,
wife of the United States ambassador
had a narrow escape this afternoon
from what might have proved a fatal
accident.
She had been driving in her coach
through Hyde park. AS her carriage
left the park it was run into from be-
hind by a public omnibus, the pole of
which smashed through the back panel
of the coach.
: Mrs. Hay had leaned forward at just
that moment to speak to her coachman
through the front window and the pole
of the omnibus entered the rear of the
carriage exactly at the place against
which Mrs. Hays head had but mo-
ment before been resting.
Although terribly frightened Mrs.
Hay, was able to drive to her residence
in Carlton House terrace as soon as the
omnibus pole was extracted from the
carriage. The driver of the omnibus
was arrested.

he marched about the streets of Wash

plodded on, his face lighted up with
