GLEANINGS

An Edinburgh professor says It is
the morning dram" which is the
curse Of the country.
The saloon keepers are ex-oficio
criminals. Not one in ten obeys the
Unconstitutional Advocate.
A novel scheme has just been adopt
ed by the Sharon Pa) liquor deal
ers. Each week they secure from the
local magistrates a list Of persons ar
rested for drunkenness, and then re-
fuse such ones drinks at the bar.
It is the moderate use of alcohol as
a beverage under conditions of re-
spectability that constitutes the
temptation so powerful with young
men and plunges fresh streams of
manhood over the Niagara of vice.
Rev. Charles Herr.
Lent affects the saloon business"
says a Philadelphia saloon keeper.
''In some of the large cafes and ho-
tel bars the force of bartenders is
sometimes cut down during Lent.
Lots of men who are steady drinkers
knock off entirely, and others limit
themselves as an act of penance."

Temperance Revival.

The Illinois Citizenship league has
put to test new method of anti-hcense
work in saloon towns, and found it
very successful in creating sentiment.
1t is called temperance revival, -
and consists OF a series of meetings, at
least four, and q children's meeting.
AT these meetings the people are asked
to come forward and sign pledge to
the effect that they will do all in their
power to prevent the sale of intoxi-
eating and malt liquor in their own
town, except for medicinal and me-
chanical purposes. On each signer a
bit Of red ribbon is pinned; also on the
children at their meeting when they
promise to help.

Mrs. Truax. But in the young man
who entered Bertha saw with unmis-

eyes, the round face and high brow,
and the quiet, kindly manners of her
old friend, borne with the assurance
and ease that come of self-confidence.
The hostess managed to whisper to
Bertha's arnt-and of course Bertha
overheard:
This young man has distinguished
himself in landscape gardening. He
has just laid out a park for Prince
