wildman Is Still Missing.

cent occurrence in. North Carolina :
"Mr. Jonathan Edwards, of
Asheville, is very successful
business man and an epthusias-
tic sportman. He lately bought
for himself a new gun, and while
impatiently waiting for the sea-
son to open he would get out his
new gun, handle it. with affec-
ton and discourse ON its merits
and beauty until his wife and
especially his fair daughter,
Mary, became weary of even the
subject of guns. And yet after
discovering that his gun was not
as interesting to others as to
himself, he needed only an init
nation to make him bring it out
for exhibition with pleasure.
Miss Mary Edwards had beau
and she rather liked him, but
held him somewhat at arms
length-on probation, as it were.
Mics Mary had a loving heart, a
sparkling eye and a keen sense
of humor. Her beau, Mr.. Rich
ard Wildman, called to see her
and they chatted pleasantly in
the parlor while Mr.. and Mrs.
Edwards made themselves COM
Portable in the sitting room across
the hall.
I'm going to kiss you,' said
Mr.. Wildman to Miss Mary.
eff you dare" said the young
lady, cpl certainly make you
regret it"
"But l really am going to-
said Mr.. Wildman.
off you do I'll go tell papa"
said Miss Mary, with twinkling
in her eye and without the slight
est attempt to get out of the way.
Taking her nonchalance for a
woman's consent, he grabbed and
kissed her. She promptly whack-
ed him on the cheek with her
hand, and then leaving the room
and walking across the hall, said
to her father, with the sweetest
of sweet smiles: Papa, l have
been telling Mr.. Wildman about
your new gun and he asks if you
won't show it to him."
"Certainly, with greatest pleas
ure," said Mr.. Edwards, delight
ed to have some one take an
interest in his new pet. Picking
up the gun he walked with ex-
pectant pleasure into the parlor.
Mr.. Wildman was waiting
somewhat doubling the girls pur-
pose. When the man with the
gun came in the door Mr.. Wild
mans doubts, accompanied by
Mr.. Wildman himself, went out
the window without even taking
the precaution to raise thesash.
Mr.. Edwards looked around at
his daughter dumb-founded. She
laughed till she could no longer
stand. Holding her heart in her
hands, she said: "Fathcr, YOU
must be careful how you 90 at
people with that gun. Really,
if l didn't know you we'll,
should have been sure several
times you meant to shoot me
with it. You must be more

Hacker from the Experimental farm
would be present to address the farm
ers, but Cor some reason he failed to
arrive. The matter of combining the
shipping of the outputs from. ditferent
creameries and the advantages of So
doing were discussed. also the merits
OF the different commission firms. It
was decided to obtain the best terms
which different reliable firms would
make for the combined output OF the

ported at next meeting. 1t was also
decided to secure Prof. Shaw, or Prof.
Hacker or both to address next meet

state of Minnesota -


Rev. f. B. Cowgirl, pastor of the
First NJ. E. church, favored the pass
age OF the bill and stated that the
Methodist conference had passed reso-
lutiOns, as had conferences of other
denominations, favoring such a mea-
sure.
P. c. Schmidt, of Duluth, opposed
the bill on the ground that while it was
labeled county option it was in reality
county prohibition. From Maine
west, prohibition had been a failure.
Local option in counties would result
in salo"n drug stores and blind pigs.
Rural drug stores sold more liquor
than saloons, where there was no
license. The present laws, if enforced,
were as strict as could be wished by
any one. It made no difference VIII at
the laws were If they were not en-
forced.

COUNTY OPTION BILL.
Arguments made Before the
Temperance Committee
Meeting.

St. Paul Globe
The committee then took up the Ja-
cobsoW county option bill and r. H.
BatteE,| of the Anti-Saloon league, of
inn&aiolis, made lengthy talk in
favor of the bill giving the following
reasons why it should pass:
1t " wou|d give voters of each county
that voted upon license the rightful
privilege to determine what they
wanted as to saloons.
1t would give country districts of
these counties rightful voice in de-
termining as to saloons at their mar
ket towns.
1t would make the saloon problem a
county issue and thus, by civic action
and agitation Independent of party
politics, make the issue of electing an
ti-saloon officers.
1t would place upon county govern:
ment the proper responsibility of en-
forcement of our liquor laws.
1t would decrease largely the con-
sumption of liquor for beverage pur-
poses among the people of these coun-
ties.
It would also largely increase the
sale and use of articles of food, CLOTH
ing building material, as sales of Ii
quor decreased. 1t would decrease
the vice, poverty, personal and pro-
perty misfortunes and crime, as 1t
would lessen the sale and use Of strong
drink.
1t would, by closing the open sa-
loon, make improved conditions for
our. boys and young men. Saloons
afford the very strongest temptations
to our youth to drink the intoxicating
liquors kept for sale.
It would allow the thousands of
liquor victims to say, by the power of
their free ballot at the county election,
whether for purposes of financial gain
liquor sellers might continue to offer
these liquor ruined persons strong
drink from saloons.
1t would give to the people Of this
state a privilege for which not once
nor twice, nor in small numbers, they
have asked for several years.
Because the educators and school
people of this state desire it. Because
the churches have called loudly for
this county option measure, and the

WHICH is THE MORE CONSCIENTIOUS?
BY COL. FELTEK.
One evening, just after our city elec-
ton, was seated in a grocery store,
when the following convers alton took
place between a ward politician and a
voter in the second ward.
The voter came into the store in a
"dazed condition." had a Jag" on,
as the boys say. The politician said:
"Well, I suppose you voted for
Hearts license) allright?''
Voter-No: I didn't.''
Politician-''Did you vote for
Woodruff?"
Voter-"No sir: 1 didn't vote for
Woodruff, (license) either. [ voted
for Diller." (no license.''
This last remark brought the laugh
and the bystanders said: "You are a
nice one to vote temperance" Where
upon the voter remarked: "It is not
the first time I have voted that ticket
either. I tell you the prohibitionists
are right in trying to stop the govern
ment from making the cussed stuff,
for as long as the government makes
it there will be men like me, and pro-
pose to help down the devilish thing
If it don't help me it will help my fam
lily coming after me.''
The crowd tried to laugh him down.
I never knew before this man voted
our ticket and now I concluded to help
him out. So 1 said: "Gentlemen, let
me ask you a question or two. First:
You seem to think it a great contra
diction for this man that drinks to
vote the prohibition ticket. Now, is
it any more of a contradiction for a
man that drinks to vote the prohibi-
don't drink to vote whiskey ticket?
Again: Is it not true that a man that
does not drink, in this case, is more
immoral than the man who does drink?
For instance, the man that drinks is
voting to get clear of the saloon, to
help save himself and his family after
him; while those that don't drink are
voting to continue the saloon to curse
the man and his family after him.
, Gentlemen, the case stands thus: That
man is your victim and you are laugh
in at his struggles to free himself"
l thought, as the crowd cooled down,
how some men drunk had more con.
science than some men sober.
IA father was going to saloon for

in your steps, That father decided
that, if his boy was going to foil ow
in his steps. it should not be to the
saloon. That incident was the means
of reforming and converting that
father. - Parents, are your children
treading in your steps? Whittier are
they leading?"
Rudyard Kipling has announced his
conversion to the prohibition cause.
In ''The Young Man" he gives an ac-
count of having seen, while in this
country, two young men make two
young women drunk, leading them
afterward down dark street. "Then, "
he writes, recanting previous opin-
ions, II became prohibitionist.
Better is it a man should go without
his beer in public places. and content
himself with swearing at the mar
row-mindedness of the majority; bet-
ter is it to poison the inside with very
vile temperance drinks and to buy
lager furtively at back doors, than to
bring temptation to the lips of young
fools, such as the four I have seen.
[ understand now why the preachers
rage against drink. l have said
there is no harm in it taken moder-
ate|y,' and yet my own demand for
beer helped directly to send these two
girls reeling down the dark street to
God alone knows what end. If liquor
is worth drinking it is worth taking a
little trouble to come at-such trouble
as man will undergo to compass his
own desires. 1t is not good that we
should let it lie before the eyes of
children, and 1 have been a fool in
writing to the contrary. .'-Harper's
Bazaar.
The saloon is an enemy to the civil
izatiOn, to the church and to the home.
1t creates poverty instead of wealth,
shame instead of honor, novels instead
of homes. 1t is a sponge which ab-
serbs the hard earnings of men which
if turned into channels of honest trade
would mean homes, food, fuel, clothes,
education, and finally an intelligent
citizenship.
Saloons are run for revenue-a self
ish and personal wish.' We too, are
selfish in our demand that they be
blotted out of existence. We want our
boys to live and grow up in a com
munity which does not tolerate a sa-
loon. Come men, fathers, we appeal
to you. Vote to protect the boys
your own boy and your neighbours
boy. Can you see this destruction 60
ing on all around you and lift no hand
to save?
