The Only safe pn.,.inn

One OF those dark tragedies which
always cloud the background OF Chi
cago's continuous drama, pictured
there on a scale OF SIN as colossal as
every other element Of the life OF this
colossal city, was in the recent mys-
FERROUS death of a respectable married
woman in a disreputable saloon She
was not drinking person in the or
binary sense OF the phrase, but It Is
admitted that she made some use OF
beer as a beverage. When therefore
she became lost on Chicago streets
after dark, and apparently sympathet-
&c strangers offered her glass of beer
as refreshment-so the police theory
runs-she was willing to take it. The
liquor seems to have been drugged and
draining the glass was but the prelude
to death. Had the woman, however
been total abstainer for con-
sciences sake, she would have re-
fused the beverage, would have
spurned the company of the men who
offered it to her, and would doubtless
have escaped with her Rfe from her
dangerous situation The sad incident
illustrates again how the only safety
for man or woman amid city's temp
tations Is in refusing absolutely to
countenance even the mildest form of
the alcohol cup and in maintaining
ones scruples at the highest limit
against all doubtful things-- Chicago

The Rural Free Delivery System Has

James I. Sphinx. one of the best
known travelling men OF the north
west, has just returned froms long
trip through the country districts
OF Minnesota and reports the sue
cess OF rural delivery along line
that can hardly have been antici-
pated by those instrumental tn es-

In one OF the towns where Mr..

plan should be done away with. The
main point he made was thai It

Why" said Mr.. Saloon Keeper,
when meA came into town every
day for their mail they were sure
to drop into my place while they
waited; everybody drank. everybody
treated everybody else and 1t made
trade lively. Now the farmers come
into town but two or three times a
week and more often but once, and
the worst Of it is they don't happen
TO como In together, for they only
come In for groceries or some other
supplies and no two mems supplies are
apt to give out at exactly the same
time. This, you see, does away with
the matter of treating and reduces
trade tremendously. It's running
business, ten you"
Mr.. Sphinx Is an observing man,
and the saloon keepers point of
view interested him. He took pains
to inquire of the business men he
traded with as to the correctness of

OLD PROHIBITION COMMUNITY.
SANDY Sprtna. Nd. AttRina Indust<tal
Prosperity and Mental and
Moral Culture

a unique community Is thst 10 be
found at Sandy Spring. Md. An inland,
agricultural settlement. It. has attained
singular industrial prosperity, and
an unusual degree of mental and moral
culture. These attained resultsare the
product OF a combination OF causes.
meme OF them more potent and pro-
nooDced than the one which relates to
The liquor curSe.
Long before the Maine law or The
general local option movement had an
existence. a local prohibitory statue
was obtained from the Maryland legis-
lature. 1t provided that no liquor
could be sold within specified dis
tanoe OF the Friends meeting house
In Sandy bring. Following closely
upon the heels of this Law cazno anoth-
er which prohibited liquor selling in
the vicinity of an institution of learn
ing several miles away. These related
statutes created a piece Of dry terri
tory a number of miles in extent, end
this condition has remained unto this
day. having existed tho better part
of century.
In Sandy Spring there "a a consider
able colored population. It Is the
opinion of lifelong residents OF the
settlement that the general order,
prosperity and moral atmosphere of
the neighborhood are due to its long
continued grogiess character. One of
tts suooessful citizens said 10 the writ
er, that he considered the fact that
successive generations OF white and
colored people have grown up In Sandy
Spring free from the temptations and
CONGRATULATIONS OF the saloon, the
most telling condition in the environ
ment of the settlement.
1t IS logical To believe that a oondi-
ton which promotes the social and
personal goods and graoes in one place
viii do it in another, if given a proper
trial. Surely, the absence OF liquor
selling in a community means the re-
moval OF a vast opportunity and temp
tation to do evil.-The Defender.
