Holger Drachmann, the celebrated
poet. has just written a magnificent
poem called 'Intoxication and War;"
It is aimed against the modern tenn
perance movement, and the reader
may get a fair idea of the force of the
production by reading the following
extracts. which are literal version of
the text: "Drunk?"-a word of terror
to weak souls, to those who drank and
wish to drink again when when buga-
boos and nurses are not carrying the
rod ready behind their heels. Shall
wine, then, be put into the pillory-
shall dragons of virtue always watch
to see if the inn is closed at the proper
hour? Oh. hypocracy has its hundred
meshes to cover up the frailties of the
flesh; but if all the worlds wine bot
ties were crushed, the temperance
cause would not be ''holy" cause.
Wine is holy! Ask tyro and adept, if
they have only one drop Of blood left
from the days of Christ and the apps.
ties crowd, when still q bridegroom
was worth his glass, when joy still oc-
cupied the seat of honor. That God,
who since was slain on the cross, be.
trayed by the priest-gsng and the mob,
He did not examine the cork to see If
it bore the mark of the samlag. Wine
He drank Himself, and pointed out the
way to the others, praising His Father
in heaven, while the halo round his
youthful, plastic head shed golden
light upon the whole wedding party.
