A DRUMMER'S EXPERIENCE.
Lost a Customer by Refusing to
Drink, But Saved His House
from Heavy Loss.

For IS years I was a drummer. Ny
territory was in all of the southern
states, and | Travelled through them all.
In one of the largest cities in these
states | had a good customer to whom
[ sold many large bills The buyer
of this house was a man who drank reg
ularly and very often.
On one trip | went in TO see this buy
er, and he sent the stock clerk to see
how many cases of my goods were need
ed. When told, he ran his arm in mine
and walked out of the office and up the
street to an alley (talking all the time
about business), and then down the al
ley to the back door of Il barroom. When
he struck the alley | saw his object, and
said: If the Lord will help me now, L
will not break my rule" When we got
within ten feet of the door of the ac-
cursed hole ] stopped, and, looking at
my customer (for he certainly was not
my friend), l said: "I~don't drink any
thing; no use my going in there" He
looked at me, and said: Come on and
take drink" replied: No, l don't
drink" Take a cigar, then" mo,
don goin barrOoms at ALL" He stopped
and looked me squarely in the face, and
took his arm out of mine and went in.
He soon came out, and we walked back
to his office, but he didn't arm me back
nor speak word to me. When we got
into the Office again | took out my order
book as though nothing had. happened,
and said, politely: How many cases
| shall l put down." None" said he;
II don't want any" answered: "All
right, sir; we have a surplus on hand
at all times, and when you want any of
! our goods we will be pleased to have
your order" and bade him good day.
| This was Saturday. | remained over in
the city until Monday. Sunday morn
| ing l went to church, as was my habit,
and when the collection was taken up
who should | see passing the plate my
way but this buyer whom | had Of
| Tended the day before. | don't know
| whether he recognized me or not, but |
knew him, and was told that he had
| been an officer in that church 20 years.
Now for the application. This man
of whom [ speak was full partner in
the house, which was rated at $200,000.
| lost the custom of this house. 1t
failed in about two years after this for
over 100000, but did not get my house
for a cent. Since that time this man
has gone down the hill, until to-day he
is a complete whisky wreck. He is
very poor, and has but few of the neces-
saries of life, and has to work very hard
to make both ends meet. His head is
now white, and his steps feeble and tot
terihg. | never see that man that this
incident doesn't come up in my mind.
My employer commended me for what
| did. and retained me in his service for
13 years. If it had not been for whisky
this man would be well to-day, and have
plenty to start all his children and
! grandchildren in life.-Nashville Chris

snake oil. He says right down the
vertebrae of a rattlesnake is fatty
streak of flesh that makes an oil, when
fried, that will cure any case or rheu-
matism. 1t is strange to how many
people he sells this rheumatic snake oil
He has a long list of certificates from
people he has cured. Some of them are
from intelligent whites, who declare
that the oil has cured them when all
other remedies have failed. He sells a
vial of the oil for one dollar and guar
antees lasting cure.
Moses says his father was an African
voodoo doctor and taught him how to
cure all aches and pains with snake
oil. The negroes of Sumter county We
crate and fear him as a mysterious doc
tor who can cure when all else fails,
and look upon his snake oil as some

time to move more than once or twice
the cat began to feel very uncomfort-
able, and, discovering the aperture
through which the air was escaping, put
her foot on it and thus corked the pipe
and stopped the removal of the air.
Several subsequent attempts to car
ry on the experiments were alike inef-
fectual, for as soon as the glass cover
was put over her and she felt the re-
moval of the air the cat would put her
feet over the pipe and keep thsySa
pressed there.
The students, struck by the remark
able intelligence shown by the cat,
asked the professor to liberate the ami
NAL and loudly cheered her self-posses-
sion when the cat, after coolly clean
ing herself and smoothing her ruffied
fur, jumped down and rubbed against
the legs of the students sitting on the
front bench. She is now permanently
annexed to the college and an object of
interest to all visitors.

Am l dreaming?" Oh, no. he is not
dreaming would that it were only
dream. As he comes to himself more
and more he tries to account for his
presence in that strange place.
Very dimly he remembers going
into a certain saloon near the depot
and taking several drinks, and then
starting back to the depot, but he felt
so tired and sleepy that he thought he
would Just sit down on the curbstone
and rest a minute, but before he knew
it he was asleep, dreaming of the happy
home to be established as soon as he
returned home from the honeymoon,
and of the lovely bride who was to
move about as queen in the little pal
ace of a home. But while so sweetly
dreaming, he is suddenly aroused by
a harsh shaking up. He opens his eyes,
and looking up he sees a policeman
who says: "Waln up, here" He sees
a patrol wagon drive up near, but with
out really approaching it he is showed
into the wagon and taken to the police
station 10 spend the night.
All this comes family back to bis
mind and suddenly he thinks of his
bride left in the Boston d Maine depot
the morning before, and he cries out in
his anguish: My God! what has be-
come OF her." He feels so mortified
that he has no face TO meet her again,
and he vows that when out of there he
will run away; and so he did, for the
Transcript told us that as soon as he
was fined So he cleared out, and they
had lost all trace of him. The bride
waited all day at the depot and in the
evening her actions attracted the at
tention Of the station agent, who asked
her trouble, and she told him her story,
and he advised her to look for him up
town.
So she tramped the streets of Holyoke
looking for her husband till late at
night, when she went to a hotel, not to
sleep all night, but to weep all night.
And as soon as the depot was open
Wednesday morning she was there,
waiting and watching for her husband
to come. But while she waited. Officer
Griffin, who had heard of her sad story
the night before and had been looking
for him, came up and told her that her
husband had been arrested and fined
for drunkenness. The young vile,
when she heard this. was astounded
She started out to find him. but her
efforts were unsuccessful, and she had
to go back to Easthampton and resume
her single life again.-Rev. 0. Miller,
in National Advocate.

NOTES OF REFORM.

Drink buries sorrow that rises in.
creased tomorrow.
Drink is the mother of want and the
nurse of crime.-Lord Brougham.
Saloons are sin and disease breeders,
but, while our board of health tacks up
notices of contagious disease the board
of excise taclls up license to sell
drunkenness.-The Editor.
"Christendom is saloondom, and 95
per cent. of male church members are

lence-keepers. John G. Wooley.
Over one million of the best of Gods
creatures entered upon the alcoholic
short-line road to the pit in the last ten
years. The road is still open with over
100000 depots in the United States.-
Union Gospel News.

the political forces in the country, once
said: Nothing could be more foolish
than to estimate the power of temper

strength, as they are moral reformers.

not be tabulated by figures
Acting under orders from Mayor
Martin, City Marshal Locke, of Com

the place. The mayor has stated en-
Dhatically that he proposes to enforce
the law. and this order which includes
the hotels of the city as well as the
saloons, is therefore permanent
