Visions Of Free prInhs yanI,b,

West side residents with visirIs Of
free drinks in mind as the result of a
wager made by J. S. Harris, a saloon
keeper at 211 Halsted street, says the
Chicago News, have sustained shock
that has blasted dreams of a week Of
Bacchanalian pleasures, guiltless of
the sordid consideration of cost. Har-
ris, who has bargained to give free
beer, free cigars and the free use Of
his billiard and pool tables for the
period of week in event Of election
Of his favorite candidate for president,
has withdrawn his proposition and
there is now woe and gloom where all
was hitherto joyous anticipation. Har-
ris is supporter of Bryan. A week
ago he became involved in an argu-
ment with fellow saloonkeeper of
opposite political persuasion over the
question of prosperity. Harris offered
to turn over his place to the public
as his guests for a week to celebrate
the arrival of real prosperity in case
Bryan is elected, provided that his
friend would demonstrate the same
confidence in the variety of prosperity
Mckinley would usher in should he
oe elected. The proposition was duly
agreed to and the next day a placard
appeared in the Halsted street saloon
announcing what would happen should
Bryan win. Friday Harris discovered,
it is asserted, that the other party to
the bet had not publicly declared him
self. Charging him with backing
down he withdrew his placard- and
with it disappeared vistas Of oceans

All things are wrought of melody,
Unheard yet full of speaking spells;
Within the rock, within the tree,
A soul of music dwells-
A mute symphonic sense that thrills
The silent frame Of mortal things;
Its heart beats in the ancient hills,
And In each flower sings.
To harmony all growth is set;
Each seed is but a music note.
From which each plan, each violet,
Evolves its purple note.
Compact of melody, the rose
Woos the soft wind with strain on
strain
or crimson; and the lily blows
Its white bars to the rain.
The trees are paeans; and the grass
One long green fugue beneath the
sun:
Song is their life, and all shall pass,
Shall cease, when song is done.
Madison Cawein, in Truth.

Drifting to Ruin.

w ulie luIuluS over some Ola leL-
tcrs not long ago, letters written to
relative of mine go or more years
ago, came across one missive detail
ing the course Of a young man who
was rapidly drifting to ruin. He
was going the pace, as they say now
adays, and the writer of the letter was
regretting that young man of such
fine abilities and brilliant promise
should wreck mind and body in the
haunts of dissipation. Well, he
went to the bad, as the correspondent
suggested that he would, and he never
came back, like the prodigal son, to
his fathers heme. He died on the
isthmus of Panama, many years be-
fore we had an overland railroad route
to the Pacific Ocean, a broken down,
prematurely aged man. He had an ex-
excellent position, for which he was
we'll adapted by nature, when he be-
gan his downward career and was the
light of social occasions, where he
showed qualities as a vocalist that in
these times of superior musical train
ing might have placed him in the front
rank of Concert singers. Perhaps his
popularity contributed to his downfall.
He wa$-Hattered and caressed, and
was not strong minded or religious
enough to resist the temptations that
came in his way. Sometimes it is
young fellows curse to be an especial
favorite, especially II be is so in
fast set. One should always remem-
Der that popularity of any kind Is a
very feeting thing. The world ad-
mires today the man that it condemns
tomorrow While young fellow has
plenty Of money in his pocket and
spends it freely, he will not lack for
admirers. When it is gone and he is
hard up, they will ignore him and for
get his former butterfly existence. For
one prodigal son that repents there
are thousands of wayward youths
who never renounce their evil habits.
Their gradual degradation is well IL
lustrated in Hogarth's series of pic
lures entitled "The Rake's Progress
When the artist referred to lived, the
manners may have been little differ
ent from what they are now, but the
world, the flesh and the devil are just
as busy today as they were then in
destroying the earthly and heavenly
of young men. OF what avail
the midnight orgy if you wake up in
the morning with headache which
prevents you from doing properly the
work you are called upon to do? The
few hours of so-called pleasure in
which you have been in an unreal
of mind do not compensate
for the misery that you have to en-
dure through this Illicit indulgence.
You are in a condition that will in
duce you to return to the stimulants
Of the night before, and this often
leads to the prolonged spree by which
you lose reputation, position and
everything else that respectable peo-

In Russia the wealth OF the peas
antry does not keep pace with the
increased demands on the national
exchequer, and the temperance re-
form, like the czar's peace rescript,
had, first of all, a financial basis. In
Russia, as in England, the cash value
OF liquor licenses is enormous, and
the first object of the state monopoly
was to secure for the empire the vast
revenue Of unearned increment which
for generations had found its way into
the pockets of the publicans.
Two objects have been kept in view
throughout" says a government re-
port, firstly, to obtain for the bene-
fit of the state the largest possible
amount Of revenue from this trade;
and, secondly, to diminish drunken
ness"
It is not the simplest thing in the
world for state to disposses a great
body of men of authority which they
have come to regard as their natural
right; but Russia, beginning on
small, experimental scale, had little
difficulty in this respect. The state
abolished the publican and left the
public house, says the London Ex-
press. Then, stepping behind the
counter, the government became sole
proprietor. Government shops and
depots were opened, at which all spirits
were sold in sealed bottles, not to be
opened on the premises, bearing
label showing the price, quantity and
alcoholic strength of the contents. No
are allowed in the shops.
Consumption on the premises is for
hidden In government shops, but is
under certain conditions in
other places-in restaurants, railway
etc. To counteract the tap
room the government has established
tearooms, where people can meet
without any temptation to drink.

raIo Of One Bottle Of Liquor.

A writer in the Youths Companion
says: Some time ago, when travelling
in the northwest of Canada, the fol-
lowing incident happened, illustrating
in striking way how the drink traf-
fic works evil. In Prince Albert, N.
W. T., Canada, there is barracks Of
the mounted police a body of men
who patrol the country for miles
around to keep peace among the In
dians. 1t was their duty to arrest
one for some petty offense. and he was
placed in the barracks, not closely con-
fined, as an armed guard stood day
and night at the entrance, and no one
could pass without his notice. 1t
was Private Coleman's night watch,
and he had brought from town bot
tie of liquor. Constant pulls at it put
him to sleep. and the foxy Indian crept
up, stole his revolver and made off
A sergeant, whose name 1 now forget,
was returning home at a late hour
saw the Indian escaping and must
have tried to arrest him. A re-
volver shot woke the police, and dis
closed the awful fact that the sergeant
was dead. The Indian made good
his escape, and a reward was offered
for him. For months the police
hunted him, and at last two of them
found him, but only to lose their lives
in the effort to take him. He had
friends, who were with him; how

Religion is as necessary to reason
as reason is to religion. The one can

Tho Drink Curse.

Drink is the curse of the country;
1t ruins the fortunes. 1t Injuries the
health, it destroys the lives Of one in
twenty of its population, and every
thing that can be done to diminish
this terrible sacrifice of human life
and human happiness is worthy of all
the attention and study we can give
it. II we are silent the very stones
will cry out. If l could destroy to-
morrow the desire for strong drink in
the people Of England, what changes
we should seel We should see our
gaols and workhouses empty. and we
should see more lives saved in twelve
months than are consumed in a cen
tury of bitter and savage war-Joseph

A faeetous paragraph writer suggests
that it will soon be necessary for some
one to start daily geography in order
to keep up with the changes going on
in the world. He might with as much
justification have said that we need a
daily history, or a daily textbook in
natural philosophy for the same rea-
son. Events now move SO rapidly that
any book Of information gets out of
date much more quickly than at any
other period in the worlds history. For
the present, however, it will be the
daily lesson in geography rather than
the daily geography that will chiefly
concern the rising generation.
