"Set Down That GLASS;"

Responsibilities q strong word. A
young man of capability, fascination and
power has passion for brandy that moth
ing could control. Often friend remon-
strated with him, but in vain; as often in
return would he urge his friend to take
social glass
On one occasion the latter agreed to yield
to him and they walked up to the bar. The
barkeeper said, Gentlemen, what will you
haye?" "Wine, SIR" The glasses were
+ ed and the friends stood ready to pledge
.ch other in the renewed and eternal
:endship when the young man said to his
Incorporate friend, "Now, II drink this
glass Of wine and become = drunkard, will
you take the responsibilities"
The drunkard said, "Set down that
glass;" 1t was set down, and the two
walked away. II every person would realize
that the word in season would show the
responsibility Of being my brothers
keeper" and say, "can I accept the re-
sponsibility, the ruin Of health, the broken
hearts, the loss of life, the waste of prop.
erty, the blighting Of hopes, and the dam
nation OF hell that waits on the trafficing
in body and brains of our people?" We
would soon find many who are in the busi-
ness to say, Take back the licenses; let me
live life of poverty and toll than win
wealth and the comforts Of this life by
spreading ruin and desolation among our
coming citizens. The Rescue.

Invite the boys to take drink,
Mix poison with their brains.
Ensnare their princely power to think
In runs debauching chains.
What, though mothers heart shall break
And earth be filed with gloom,
Since these are things which help to make
The DEVILS business boom.
Oh, who shall heed sisters tears
Or hear the moan Of wife,
Or count the bleared and blasted years
That blot the drunkard's life?
What though childish heart must ache,
And shame soul consume,
Since these are things which help to make
The devils business boom.
Yes, ask the boys to drink, for when
They learn to drain the cup,
Though they attain the strength of men,
They shall not give 1t up.
And drug them SO they may not wake
To fee their final doom,
For hell itself was planned to make
The DEVILS business boom.

The Passing of an Old Coaching Inn.

The Passing Of an Old Coaching Inn.
One of the last Of London's old
coaching inns is being demolished.
Long threatened, the White Horse, in
Fetter Lane, survived to see evil days,
FOR, under the name of White Horse
Nhambers, the old house became any
thing but select. The aristocratic
name of chambers" as understood
in st. James's, was somewhat of
misnomer. for the inn was in it's last
years a common clearinghouse, where
a varied assortment of tramps OBJ
tanned nightly shelter. To this COM
plexion did that rooftree come, which
once had sheltered such lights of
fashionable and legal society as the
famous Philip Dormer, Earl Of Ches-
terfield, and Lord Brougham. From
the courtyard of the White Horse de-
parted daily many of the crack West
Country coaches in the Augustian age

the late twenties of this century num-
bering about forty every day.-New

CONTESTED WATER RATE
Riverside Trustees Adopt Schedule
That Pleases None

RIVERSIDE. Feb. 2L-The city trustees
held an adjourned session today and as
result this city has new water rate FOR
irrigation water. Last year the rate was
10 cents an inch and an additional extra
rate Of $2.5O an acre. The coming year the
rate will be 15 cents an inch straight. One
of the queer things in regard to the new
rate is that 1t does not suit either the
water company or the users of water The
former wanted the rate of last year re-
adopted and the users of water wanted a
rate not higher than 10 cents an inch-that
is, some of them did, while others were
willing that last years rate should be re-
tanned. 1t is claimed that the new rate
will increase the cost of water to con-
sumers, but on the other hand the water
company says that it will receive at least
$4,000 less revenue by the new rate.
Several of the prominent water users OF
the valley were present at the meeting to-
day and they vigorously opposed the new
rate, one of them going so far as to warn
the board that any action 1t would take
in the premises would be Illegal, inasmuch
as four members of the board are stock
holders in the water company.
The board was also warned that the pro-
posed ordinance fixing the rate was illegal
on the further ground that it discrimi-
mated between water users and further
that there were instances known where the
company had shown favoritism in the
granting Of special rates not down on the
schedule.
President Frost of the water company.
who was present, stated that the company
had been in the habit of giving certain
alfalfa growers special rates. and several
Of the protestants present lost no time In
asking the board and clerk to make a note
Of the admission of Mr.. Frost.
Although there were all kinds of protests
offered by those present the ordinance went

Grafton was an application from the San
Gabriel Electric company for furnishing
light, heat and power 10 the city for term
of twenty-five years. No action was taken
on this petition.
A resolution fixing the rate to be charged
for water by the Pasadena. Lake Vineyard
company was received and filed for a
weeks consideration. City Engineer
Clapps sewer estimate was approved and
an ordinance was adopted stating an inten-
ton to call sewer bond election.
An ordinance creating eight election pre-
cincts was adopted.
