Shots at the Rum Evil,

It is in the distlliery that the devil finds
his best artillery.
Before the devil can be chained, the sa.
loon door must be bolted.
Temperance Is not everything, but In.
temperance mars everything.
You may vote to "let the saloon alone"
but 1t will not "let you alone"
When you talk OF the responsibility OF
Uncle Sam In the liquor traffic, remember
U. s. spells us.
The fact that saloonkeepers are willing
to pay u high license Is a confession that
their business Is different from all others.
The use OF screens Is q confession that 1t is
worse than oil others.

OF thirty and forty, where ton total ab-
stainers die, forty moderate drinkers die.
The saloon tax paid in Ohio is about ss,-

eISMARcK's TOMB.
sarcophagus in Which the Remains OF thu
German Prince Will Rest.

German fr1nCo VIII neots
With the single exception of Bis
marck's Autobiography, the greatest
SUCCESS ever achieved by any publica-
fion in Gel many was pamphlet by
Professor Quidde, entitled "Caligu-
a." This pamphlet had, however,
from a publishers point of view,
everything in its favor. Its very title
savored of the sensational, and the
German.reading public knew before
hand that "Caligula" was in reality
comparison of the insane Roman EN-
peror with the present Kaiser.
Put on sale at the extremely low
price of ten cents, it took the pamph-
let eighteen months to sell 100000
copies.
TO know how far, comparatively
speaking, the sale OF Bismarck ex-
,eeds that of "Caliguls," it is only
necessary to know that 31S, 1000 copies
of the former had been ordered before
The book was published. The fact,
zoo, that the price of the Iron Chan
,ellor's autobiography was twenty
marks, or nearly fifty times the cost of
"Caligula," makes the comparison all
;he more striking. When German
parts with twenty marks he wants
:un for his money, and also must
know all there is to know about book
before he buys it. 1t is self-evident,
then. that the German people have
accepted bismarck's story as the only
true and adequate expression of the
Iron Chancellor and his influence on
European history. 1t is interesting
also to notice its reception in other
countries. The rights in the United

A witty,srseech.

In IN address on the "management" Of
public houses, at'thenfecent Scottish Tenn
perance Convention, James Guthrie, J. p,
OF Brechin, made as many points as there
are prickles on q porcupine, az we'll as en-
listed "apt alterations artful aid" Here
is an interesting specimen or two: -
"It you want the life that Is long, II. You
wish to be healthy and strong, and happy
as you 60 along, then don't drink. This

and on to the gallows, begins with destruc-
tton, tends to destruction. and ends In des-
truction. It ruins both customer and seller.
ana while 1t may be legalized trade, Is
not legitimate one. This Is not trade: X
is swindle. Pharaoh's daughter took TT
tie prophet out OF the water, the publican
takes big profit out OF the beer. Alcohol
Is certainly good for cleaning silver, es-
peclally out OF workingman's pocket. As
to the public management Of apublie-house
for the public benefES it Is false. The only
way to reform the eHShlcis to manage to do
without It. We: want management to sx-
tinHufsh; they want management to perpe-
tuate. THERE'S nothing easier than to be-
iieve lie, unless to tell one, and half the
truth is sometimes worse than q whole lie.
A liar may be reformed, but not lie, un.
less you reform 1t of the face OF the earth.

we are never told to like them. 80, though
love'th publican as man, I may hate
him as publican. Yet he claims com PEN
sation. Zaccheus also believed in compen-
sation. Now, Zaceheus was O publican.
But 1t was the other way round. he called
it restitution. That shows mighty differ
ence between Zaccheus and our modern
publican. That is not the only difference,
for, as you know, Zaccheus was really
factor; he collected the taxes. Our publ
con Is malefactor; he creates the taxes.
The one lived of the taxation OF the people;
the other makes his living of the intoxica-
tion Of the people. Further, we read about
Zaccheus that he was a: little man and
climbed tree, and then made haste to
come down. But none OF these things are
true OF our publican friends OF to-day.
They are big men, do not climb trees, and
Il ever up tree they don't come down In
hurry. One distinction, more important,
have forgot. Zaccheus, you remember,
could not get forward for the press; that Is
more and more unlike the publican OF our
time, for we see by every newspaper, that
Instead OF not getting forward for the
press, why, 1t Is the press nowadays, that
puts the publican forward"

1t Pays to Exclude saloons,:

The trustees to whom Mr.. George Pea.
body entrusted 90, 500, 900 for the purposes
Of building dwellings for London artisans
have guided the scheme With marked ability
and success, and there are now between
5000 and 6000 dwellings accommodating
population Of 10000. Although these peo-
pie are so thick on the ground that they
number 725 to the acre "a mean density
nearly thirteen times that OF London gen.
erally). the death rate is nearly three to
1000 below that Of London, while the infant
mortality is twenty-five per 1000 births be-
low that of London. The birth rate, too.
Is nearly five In the thousand above that of
all London. As for the financial success Of
the scheme, 1t Is sufficient to say that the
profits last year were S160,000, even after
deducflng $50, 900 voted to the Prince OF
Wales Hospital Fund. ;,
The secret Of this remarkable success Is
undoubtedly due largely to the fact that
the trustees have vigorously excluded
licensed drinking saloons from this COM
munity,

illustrative of the power of liquid air.

Her clothes did not fit her. Her
