A Practical Temperance rIan.
BY w. G.. Calderwood.

I'm a temperance man Of the practical
sort,
And want you all to hear me say my
say.
am earnest in the work, and my duty
never shirk,
But don't play the fool, and throw my
vote when there's chance to have my
vote for what is PRACTICAL, you
Though if my party wins it will justify
some sins,
It's such a consolation, looking DER the
situation,
That l didn't act the jay on last cleo
ton day,
And join in with the Prohibs, and throw
my vote away.
I often tell my wife how hate the aw-
full curse
That is damning men and women
And in Sunday school tell how it sends
souls down to hell
But don't play the fool, and throw my
When ! see the fend lay hold on my
neighbor's life,
And ALLEVIATE his heart from every
When see a mothers boy, once her
treasure and her joy,
Red-handed in his murdered mothers
blood
Then
It's such a consolation, looking Ger the
situation,
That didn't act the jay on last cleo
ton day,
And, join in with the Prohibs, and
throw my vote away
The license money pays our police, and
Du1ldS our walks,
AND helps our finances in every way.
Though, of course, it is a sin to sell
whisky, beer and gin,
Yet don't play the fool and throw my
vote away!
1t the tempter should beguile my own be-
loved boy
And should drag him down to sorrow,
sin and crime,
Or should set snare of shame for my
neutrality-suspicious. name
AS It does for thousands every year of
time, -
Then
'Twould be SUCH a consolation ~ look
ing DER the situation,
That I didn't act the jay on last e1ec
ton day,
And join with the Prohibs and throw
my vote away!

First Fruits of License.

Austin, city of something like 5000
people, last year tried po-license, but
this spring again gave free rein to the
saloons. The results are beginning to
appear. The Searchlight, published at
Austin, says: For the year ending
April 1, 1899, under no-license, there
were only four arrests for drunken
ness. The first month under license,
according to Chief Cats report,
shows II DRINKS and five assaults.
Probably all the assaults were saloon
fruit Zone possible exception noted /"

Appreciate His Kindness.

President Mckinley has pardoned a
Washington liquor dealer who was
convicted of violating the law which
forbids the employment Of women in
saloons in the District. The fine i'm
posed was only $50; but as it was the
second time that he had been con-
victed of violating the excise laws, he
was unable under the law to secure
another license. The pardon will per-
NIT him to resume the business. So
gratefully states liquor paper.

A Christian from Heathendom.

The Hon. Mr.. Fujima, newly ap-

man of staunch temperance principles.
Some years ago when connected with
the japanese embassy at Washington,
he was given some papers to translate
relative to the liquor business with
Japan and declined to do SO, saying
chat anything for the good of his
country he was willing to do, but he

The moral result of Prohibition will
never follow an immoral maintenance
of the drink business. For the mass
to sell liquor is as immoral as for the
man. If the mass have right to sell,
so has the man. If the Christian So
cialist may favor ownership of a thing
which breeds immortality, so may the
Christian church.-Defender.

The International Supreme Lodge of
the Independent Order of Good Temp
lars held it's biennial session in To-
ronto. About 200 delegates attended
The order has become more firmly es-
tablished in this country and there
has been gain in the order as a
whole. There are 1851 lodges with
403,287 members. There are 2,935 jul
venile temples, with 151, 451 members.
Rev. r. T. Bishop, a Republican,
says in the Western Christian Advo-
cate, edited by a Republican,:
cit (the briggs opinion) supplies the
last link in the chain of evidence-if
such were already wanting-that the
Administration at Washington is so
anxious to keep in touch with the
liquor interest that it can be relied on
to break the force of any legislation
which congress may devise to limit the
harmful power of this giant death
dealing organized iniquity. In this
statement l assume what is practically
self-evident: that no encouragement
would dare the attempt to emasculate
clearly expressed law of congress in
this manner without the consent of his
chief"

ELLIOTT AND THE HIGHVAYMAN
ARMY VETERAN PUT UP A STIFF
FIGHT.
Wounded Three Times, But Not seri
ously Hurt = Police Discover No
Trace of the Robber.

The holdups of Tuesday night are en-
gaging the attention of the police de-
partment. No arrests have yet been
made William Elliot, who was shot in
his tussle with the robber, has three
wounds, none of which are, serious. The
first ball entered the calf of his leg,
and a second lodged beneath the skin
in his side; the third passed through
his coat, but left a. mere scratch on his
left side. The bullet, %, has been eH-
tracted, and Mr.. Elliot is able to be at
work.
The fight between himself and the
lone robher was very exciting While it
lasted, and but for the diminutive cal
iber of the pistol, would have resulted
fatally for Mr.. Elliot Upon being told
to throw uD his hands, the gentleman
gave his assailant blow in the face
that knocked him down. He stumbled
over the robber and a rough-and-
tumble fight ensued. 1t was while roll
ing on the sidewalk that Mr.. Elliot was
shot in the leg Not knowing how
badly he was wounded, he jumped up
