IT'S NOT BAD AFTER ALL,
A Prayer That Had Its Effect.
Mr.. EDITOR:
From the AK.

Mr.. EDITOR:
The following prayer is the result of
a visit of a committee of ladies who
called upon the proprietor of saloon
to close It's doors.
Not being members of the Temper
ance Union, we simply advised him
for the good of our community, as we
could see the evil results of its pros
peTity. The proprietor invited US 10
seats and ask one of our committee 20
pray. l was deeply pondering what
the result would be when the propre
tor announced he would also pray.
The PRAYER ran thus as well as / can
remember: almighty Creator IN
Heaven, Thou who hadst made the
heaven and earth, and created man IN
Thine own image as tn ruler OF the
earth, whilst animals are living on
grass and water, Thou didst teach Thy
servant Noah TO make wine, and Thou
didst punish him for making intemp
crate use of it. At the wedding Of Cana
Thine own Son, Jesus Christ trans
formed water into wine, when the
Juice Of the grape was exhausted, that
the enjoyment Of the guests be not
disturbed. The great reformer Martin
Luther, said: "He who does not
love wine, woman and song, remains
a fool all his life long" and one of the
divine commands of the book, Thou
hast given US, is that a man shall
drink no longer water. but shall use a
little wine for the StOmaCh'S sake and
other infirmites. And all great men OF

clares that the women Of Boston
waste their time nursing $4,000
dogs, while three times that num-
Der are taken care Of in New York

The strange part of the story is
that those women who waste their
maternal instincts upon dogs appear
to be greatly interested in charities
and retormatories. Instead of TAX
ing children to raise, and thus give
practical turn to their professions,
they take IN dogs, until it has come
to the point where it is better to be
