sort Of necessary evil.
Mrs. Craig then read the following
resolutions:

tian Temperance union are not sup
posed to mind the quantity of water

sion nt the thirteenth annual conven-

been recorded in the history of the
county organization.
The pretty lecture room of the pic
turesque Presbyterian church was at
tractive with flowers, while a broad
white ribbon was festooned across the
reading desk. The only incongruous
element was the drapery of pinky-palc
Sunday papers, which some inadver-
tent hand, unfamiliar with the pre-
judices of temperance ladies had
placed around the fern pots on the
platform.
The programme was one of unusual
interest Among the features was
the appearance of THE Beveridges." ="
They are Mr.. and Mrs G. c. Beveridge,
singing evangelsts. who go about in
the cause of temperance They sing
bright little selections something af-
ter the fashion of a topical song. en-
bodying pertinent thoughts relating to
reform, for instance:
"Was there ever Vet seen
Anything quite so mean
As you Uncle Sans business
The army CIntecn?
oh the utter nonsense
Not to say false pretcnse
That he cid it in the interest
OF temperance"
