WOULD DISGRACE HIM.
strong Temperance Lecture Given
by JudEe sturRI- white Drcid-
tina Divorce Case.

The editor Of the Concordia kansan
tells Of temperance lecture given by
Judge Sturgis while deciding divorce
case before him. The divorce was asked
for by the wife ON the ground of the
husbands habtual drunkcns"ss.
The objection raised 10y the defend
ant was that the record Of the divorce
would disgrace hirn. To this the judge
replied 10y saying that AN Of the court
records or all the newspapers in rhe
world could not possibly add TO the
disgrace already hcnpcd on the man by
his own act of getting drunk. Con
tinuing, the judge said. "llc claims his
financial miSfortuncs have led him to
excess Of drink. That Is no excuse for
man 10 get drunk. There j. no cN-
cusc for drunkenness. II rr,crscs or
troutlcs come, n man needs his best

tune and to try to regain his lost adj
vantage. Why any man Of ordinary in
tellect will place himself in such n con
ditiun 10y his own acts hs 10 merit the
contempt and loathing OF his best
friends and disgusting his ownwife and
children, is something | do not UNI

taminRtiou. The person who ,olun-
tarily places himself in the condition
more loathsome than a snake. more dis
gushing than a brute, cannot bc dis
graced by the record of this court in
this case. II was drunkenness that
brought about this condition Of things
in this family. and il l. on these ground
the divorce is asked for and on which ~
will bc granted.
This man claims he has quit drink

Fierce falls the sun from glowing skies
Along the roadside dust;
One shadow by the hedgerow lies
Between the spaces thrust
A last years nest mid ragged thorns,
Like some gray ghost OF spring,
Still keeps a hint OF April morns
Where robins used TO sing.
All day the long, long golden beams
or sunshine nash and fall
And silence locks the sluggish streams
Whose currents downward crawl;
While airy, vagrant butterflies
with desultory night,
Beneath a dome OF cloudless skies,
Float past in shimmering light.
And on the hills a soft haze swims,
Blue etched against the blue.
Above the far horizon rims.
Lone stretching 10 the view;
And in the woods a doves low plant
In melancholy Groom
Comes through the vistas. sweet and faint.
While fades the afternoon.
Then twilight spreads her huttering veil
While sinks the suns red shield.
And stars put forth their facets pale
To tighten lane and field;
And on past scent Of briery musk
And myriad insect hum,
Cling-cianging through the odorous dusk
The janglinE cow-bells come.
