OUR GREATEST CURSE.
Josiah Aliens Wife Tells What Ale
cOhOI Is Doing But Declares
Right VIII Triumph

The saloon is the greatest curse of
the present day, the fountainhead
from whence flow streams of evil. 1t
fills our prisons with criminals, our
insane asylums with victims and our
graveyards with paupers' graves. 1t
turns happy homes into barren wastes.
1t debauches and ruins the husband,
the son, the father; it destroys the
happiness of the wife, the mother, the
daughter 1t clothes them in rags,
staryes them and breaks their hearts.
And for what? That a few men may
grow rich and flourish on the burnt
ashes of homes. Every conscientious
thinker admits that all | have said is
only the sad truth. Then why allow
this terrible cause of crime and
wretchedness to go on? Why not in
augurate war against it that would
overthrowit? Ifevery good man should
vote as his better nature dictates this
evil would be abolished. Do not say
that it is hopeless to war against it,
that this foe is too strongly intrenched
in human hearts and selfishness, for
right will triumph in the end.-Josiah
Aliens Wife, in Woman's Home Com
paniOn.

PASSING OF THE OLD WEST.
The WiIdness and Freedom of BOrde Z
Days Succeeded by Order
and DecOrum,

The average southwesterner is acute.
" sensitive on one score, and that is
his reputation for public order and
decorum. He desires it to be thorough
ly understood that the southwest is
not wild, that whatever may have been
the fame of the cattle and mining coun-
try of the past, the modern southwest
is the pink of propriety. AS a result
of the determination prompted by this
sensitiveness, says Roy Stannard Ba-
ker. in Century, the southwestern town,
despite its diverse and often rough ele-
ments of population, deports itself full
" as well as any town of the middle
west. A celebrated cowboy or miner
sometimes breaks loose and shoots, or
a Mexican uses his knife, but without
the old spirit of the game. Killing has
grown distinctly unpopular. As for
property rights, except in calves and
horses, they were always safe; even
to-day most of the region leaves its
doors fearlessly unlocked. | was for
chilly impressed with the passing of
the old free west by the sight of bad
man named Red Jake, who was under
going punishment in little far-moun-
tain town. He had INDUCED in the old
fashioned sport of shooting up IA sa-
loon, pastime once highly honored.
He had been promptly overpowered
and dragged-dragged mind you-be-
fore a little, inotfensive Justice of the
peace of German descent, barber as
well as judge. This eminently matter
of-fact and order-loving official dealt
in no heroics, made no show of six
shooters. He set Red Jake to digging
tough mesquit stump from the street
in front of the official barber shop. and
he kept him at it there in public view
until the work was finished. 1t was
really embarrassing to the expectant
easterner to find this old nero and
friend of the wild-western story in
such sorry disgrace-and that with

fright or cold and slowly walked into
the office.
What do you want?" asked the as
tonished sergeant.
''Is-is-papa here?" said the child,
her eyes filling with tears.
Your papa?" said the sergeant,
"who is your papa, and why do you
think he is in such a place as this?"
Brushing away the tears, the child
replied in trembling voice: Mamma
said tonight that papa was sick and
the police had him. So l came here to
find him. Is he here?''
The little one then gave the name of
her father and the sergeant found that
he was docketed as being drunk. He
called the turnkey and asked him to see
if the man had sobered up.
The turnkey reported that the man
was sober enough to go home.
"Then let him out" said the kind
hearted officer, rand give him a copy
of charges. It's not business, but the
little girl shall have her papa"
The man came out haggard and veal;
from the effects of his spree. The child
ran with glad cry into his arms and
kissed him again and again.
Mamma told me you were SICK" she
said, land | have come to take you
home"
The man made no reply. His hands
trembled as he tried to smooth back
his brown hair. In silence he passed
from the barracks with his trusting,
loving little girl.
IF that man doesn't reform and let
this be his last drunk" remarked the
station sergeant, "he is made of stone"

"In knocking down his wife the man
knocked me out of the liquor trade"
In these words Mr.. +. \. Charrington
so well known in connection with reli-
gious and temperance work in East
London, closes his account of the way
in which he was led to sever his con-
nection with the head of the great
brewing firm of Charrington, Head &
Co., of which he was partner. The
man in question was drinking in pub
lie house which Mr.. Charrington hap
pened to be passing. His wife just at
that moment pushed open the door,.
and appealed to her husband for mon
ey to buy bread to feed her starving
children. BY way of answer her hus-
band felled her to the ground. Mr..
Charrington noticed that the sign
board bore the name of his firm. He
reflected that this particular house
probably furnished many such cases,
and that the same was true of hundreds
of other houses owned by the COM
pany. The responsibility was more
than he could bear, and from that hour
he resolved to give up his partnership,
worth about c 5000 year.

CARE OF ALCOHOI.ISTS.
Prof. shafer Lengerich, of RtIIins
Germany. FavOrs the Plan Ef
Public Asylums.

Prof. Shafer Lengerich, of Berlin,
Germany, has lately in an interesting
paper treated the question of public
asylums for alcoholists. The different
points he treats on are as follows:
l. Drunkenness, acute and chronic
alcoholism are each kind CT insanity.
2. From a theoretical standpoint 1t
is Indifferent if alcoholists are treated
in special asylums or in general in
sane asylums, but the first is the most
practical way.
3. Public asylums for alcoholists are
greatly needed.
4. Only graduated physicians ought
to be in charge of such asylums.
5. Laws must be enacted by which
alcoholists, under certain circum-
stances, can even against their wishes
be sent to such asylums.
The author tries in a rather lengthy
article to prove his thesis.
The Berlin Medical society, depart
ment of psychiatry, took up this paper
for discussion. The doctors agreed
that theoretically Prof. Shafer Lenge
rich was correct, but his ideas were en-
tirely impractical. The general asyl-
ums for insane are overcrowded be-
fore, so it would be out of the question:
to treat the great number of alcohol
lists there. Concerning special asylumsi
private ones where the patients went
willingly and stayed a length of time
may be of some benefit. But drunken
ness and alcoholism are only tenn
porary insanity, dependent on the pos
sibility for the patients to get alcohol,
In public asylum the patient there
fore must be discharged after few
weeks, maybe days, when he is con-
sidered cured, only to return in a short
time for new treatment. AS long as
the state permits the sale of any al
coholic liquors of any kind whatsoever,
says the Journal of Inebriety, such
asylums would be of little or no bene-
tit. The only practical plan is for the
state to enact laws entirely prohibit
ing the sale of such liquors and to
strictly enforce the laws.

PERSONAL AND IMPERSONAL.

NJ. Santos-Dumont revels in needle
work, devoting much of his leisure
hours to embroidery and tapestry
making.
The Austrian army has an active
general who is 95 years old. This is
Field Marshal Baron Schwartz-Meil-
Ter. who has been an officer "A years
and so years a general. He is one of
five officers still alive who marched
back from Lemberg to Naples.
The celebrated NJ. Arton, who was
one of the central figures in the great
Panama scandal, and who, it will be
remembered, was arrested in London
and extradited at the request of the
French government, is now a rich
man. Last year he made between
100000 and $25O,OOO by specializing on
the bourse.
Senator PIatt, of Connecticut, was
building a house some time ago and
hired an old-fashioned carpenter who
claimed to know all about his trade.
BY way of testing him the senator
said: How would you make Vene-
tian blind?" The carpenter consid-
cred for half minute and answered:
"I guess the best way would be to
punch him in the eye"
Senator Willard, of Nebraska, has
very bushy and very black eyebrows.
When he sits in certain light the eye
brows shade his eyes to such an extent
that it looks as if he had pair of ar
tistically blackened eyes. One morn
ing recently the popularity was es-
pecially noticeable, and half a dozen
senators started toward him to ask
him whether he had been fighting.
Congressman Grosvenor used to be
good story teller, but of late does not
show his old-time felicity. The other
day he was relating an anecdote to
some colleague, but when he reached
the climax he did not get hand" as
they say on the vaudeville stage. The
Ohio man explained the point of his
joke, but. of course, it fell somewhat

venor, you are going back. We used

application" YES" assented the con-
gresham, land now they have to be

Writing in the Independent on the
subject of the subserviency of the Ger

Poultney Bigelow expresses this opin'
ion of American newspapers: at is
not for us Americans to brag about
our newspapers, and there are many
owners of great dailies who would
look more ornamental on the gallows
than in the top of a tall editorial tow
er. But whatever faults our papers
have from the standpoint of good
taste or private morals, on the whole,
they get at the facts and publish them
without much regard as to whether it
will please the government or not"

self; that he could not have had any
response to call for aid, the police
patrol did not extend to that remote
part of the city; that there was
really nothing for him to do but
shoot the man who threatened him,
and that he was lucky to have got

Entering the house, all was pitch
dark; the light from the oil lamp
had long ago flickered out, but I
struck match and lighted the
greasy wick. Meanwhile The man
leaned trembling against the door of
the hall.
The dim light fell upon the parlor
floor. No mans body was there. A
large mirror was shattered into a
thousand fragments, over carpet and
furniture. The confessed murderer,
with stumbling steps, slowly tot
tered forward at my smiling signal.

fell at my feet in a swoon.

SHE TOOK HER PAPA HOME.
A Touching story Which ForcibIy IL
Illustrates Sad Phase of the
Liquor Question.

The following story of pathetic in
cident which occurred in Atlanta, Ga,
is told by the Southern Star, pro-
hibition paper of that city. 1t is not an
unusual incident at all, its counterpart
has been witnessed in every large city
where the open saloon tempts weak
men to their ruin:
1t was zine o'clock at night, bitterly
cold. and the winds whistled around the
police barracks in Atlanta. Hardly a
person was on the street, it was SO
bleak and cold.
The officers at the barracks had gath
cred around the warm heater telling
their experiences i'll the past when
little, gentle rap was heard on the
door.
Come in," cried the call officer.
There was silence for a moment and
the rap was repeated again.
For Heavens sake, tell whoever it
is to come "a out of the cold, called the
statish sergeant.
Then an effort was made to open the
door, but it failed, and then for the
third time the tap on the door was re-
peated and the call man jumped up and
opened the door.
Out in the cold, on the stone steps,
stood a tiny little girl. She was thinly
clad, although it was freezing outside.
Her thin brown hair chung in damp
threads about her pale forehead.
Great God" exclaimed the officer,
"come in, little girl, and get warm"
The child shuddered either from
