She refused to eat breakfast because she
feared she would he poisone and instead,
talked temperance to a crowd that had
ga altered in front Of the hotel.
A II O'Clock she took a train for Otta-
wa. saying she would visit friends there

was:
Don't put too much stress on my wait
ing too long" Among the crowd which
swalined about Mrs. Nation in Hope.
We're the propretors of the two saloons
here. When she started for the depot

family II am doing Gods work"
I1ei countess scented more remarkable
because of the fact that she had been
given warning that a mob awaited her
arrival at Hope.
You'll surely meet with serious mis-
hap. perhaps. if you keep this up con-
tinued the reporter.
Il know it; I know how it Will end,
but when God is ready for M to die.
I am ready to so. ! do not want to
die yet: there is too much good work
for me to do
Mrs. Nation went on to talk of her
mission.
We've been watching our sons go to
ruin and death through whiskey for
years. We've been praying and waiting
for the laws to be enforced and tn,
traffic stopped. We've decided to wait
no longer for men to act. Il the W. G. r.
T. had started out % years with prayers
and songs ana hatchets there would not
he a saloon in the country today. A sa-
loon keeper to me is tn same as the
man who cuts anothers man throat for
bis money!
My object in smashing saloons" con.
tinued Mrs. Nation, lis to stiffen the
backbone of the woman against the rum
traffic and set the men the example Of
the only way the traffic can be stopped.
l VIII organize them into a society of Sa-
Icon WreckerS. If q saloon opens in a
town the women there. if they have not
backbone enough themselves to wreck it,
will send for me. l will send for my aides
in different towns. They will be women
Of bravery, and we will go there and
break UP the saloon and keep it broken
up"
After we have stamped it out in Kan
saS We will go to Missouri and keen an
going. l have letters from all parts of
the country asking me to come. / hold
that under the constitution of the United
states saloon cannot legally exist any
place III this country"
