In an address in Boston on Neal,
Dow,s ninety third birthday, John
q: Wooley said: ''The champion
of little children, the knightly
friend of woman, the incorrupt-
able politician, the honest, brave
and noble gentleman, Neal Dow.
Like Washington, he served his
country without pay. He has
been as gentle as Lincoln, as per-
sistent as Grant, as clean as Rob-
ert E. Lee, and as stubborn as
Grover Cleveland. Upon the
threshold of his political career he
met Truth, and espoused her, and
what he said at their betrothal, he
stood to. Before the ballot-bo he
held her hand, and in the presence
of all the people said: with this
ballot | thee wed, and with all the
rights and powers and dignities of
my citizenship, I thee en-Dow.'"

Another daughter of a White
Ribbon mother comes to the front
as a fine speaker. Miss Jessie
Garrison, who many will remem-
ber as travelling with the Crane
family in the interest of temper
ance. Her address is reported
as being a surprise even to her old
friends. The family will start on
big concert trip soon.
While we are glad to report the
above our hearts are touched with
the terrible things happening in
consequence of drink, and while
many thousand devoted women,
young and old, are working for
home prohibition, such things as
the following are happening con-
stantly: Poor little John DAILY,
aged five years, dies in Willard
Parker hospital, N. Y, from the
effects of the cruel beating by his
father in drunken rage. This
child, in the delirium of scarlet
fever, called to his mother: ''Don't
let papa beat me, mamma!'' and
the enraged father, who has for
the past three years refused, point
blank to work, and spent the earn
ings of his wife, seized the tiny
sufferer beating him almost to
death; then flew at the mother
(who crouched in a corner plead
ing ''Don't, don't kill the childr'
as the child was flung to the foor)
and beat her till neighbors came to
the rescue. Any business that
will make such parents is too bad
to be legalized, patronized or
party-eyes-ed. It not only de-
mands that the eyes of all sober
minded, God-fearipg people be
ever open to it's effects, but that
children everywhere be taught to
abhor it. Mother, beware! lest
you in mistaken kindness feed the
serpent, which at last biteth and
blighteth your dear one.
Two confectioners in New JERSEY
were recently found guilty of sell
ling chocolate drops filled with
brandy. Professor Stillman, of
the Stevens Institute, analysed
these drops and found alcohol.
Several principals in Newark and
Orange complain that pupils using
these candies are stupid and un-
able to do their school work. Not
only is the devil, with his black
heart, going about like roaring
lion seeking whom he may devour,
but sneaking around under black
coat ("of chocolate') on the same
mission.

The evil one is not always sugar
coated however, nor does he do all
his dirty work on the same line.
Parents will do we'll to encourage
the use of good, pure literature,
but be very sure that nothing i'm
pure in literature or art reaches
their children. Listen to the
words of Anthony Comstock, who
has made a study of this phase of
evil. "A short time ago, I was
entering car at railroad station,
