LoSpoa tBy Cable). Tho intervention Of
one or more OF the European powers

The whole nation suddenly realizes this.
Every London paper announces it more or

Dr.Leyds, who has been received warm
" by high Government officials In Berlin
and In other European capitals, suggests
that Intervention is justified because OF

A "Reminiscences Of John B. Cough.

A "Reminiscences of John B. Cough.
Many and many O day ago, on the then
frontier line OF the Valley OF the Mime
sota, In the ut that time beautiful village
OF Mankato, word went out that Cough
had been enguged by the local lycenm bu-
reau to lecture on temperance. Cough
came. H. was received bya committee OF
men who .hud fought Indians, swan rivers,
spoiled the virgin forests, opened new soil
endured poverty, suffered hunger and
never surrendered their belief In the right.
They escorted him to the opera house and
stage. =,
His speech was slow ut 6rst, gestures
few, Illustrations not many. The village
topers were out In force, and some more
decent men Tor whom women were praying
to give over the habit OF drink. He told
something Of his own life, OF the misery
brought by drink, OF the laws OF self-de-
NAL aud self-sacrInce. He was intense at
all times, and this intensity bore down up
ON the listeners until he had made them
one with himself. Even the small village
boy inclined to cat calls and gurgllng
whistles was silent, and there came
through the sepulchral hall no sound but
tho raw cry OF the winter wind from out
side.
He made some slight comment on the
SuLuiLlOu VI q "uuI
which came upon them, the loss OF self-re-
spect. He described tho degradation Of
spirit which rested with the habltnal
drlnker and how II that spirit was not de-
stroyed mere signing OF the pledge would
not redeem. He pleaded for exercise OF
will power, more potent In affecting re-
form than ull the drugs and medicines In
the world. This was but developing the
minds OF his hearers for climax.
Suddenly he swung one arm high In the
air and shouted:
"a drunkard and his fall to the depths
of everlasting hell is like the man who
climbs to the top'ot st. Peters In Rome.
He Is on the very summit Of the great
dome, the, blue sky above aud the world
far, far beneath. He looks down from his
perch, aud having nothing to grasp, TO
hold to, grows dizzy.
"Eyerythiug Is whirling now before him.
His senses leave him. He Is swooning. Ills
Feet slip. He Is of OF the dome. He Is IL
the mir. He Is falltng-
Down! 49,.

30 thesarth beneath and the ruin OF
himself.
Titus descends the druukari-
"Down!. Downl Down! e.:
"Io tho ires OF hell and the ruin OF his
soul"
The whole exclamation was accompanied
with such uso OF his right arm and body as
to bring the fearful descent Immediately to
tho eye OF the mind. 49,. RI.
A studder ran over the audience. The
sobs OF women were heard. Men felt un-
comfortable. Men and women are living
to-day who still feel the power OF that H.
ius;ratIon, uttered by lips long since cold.
