Drinking Women in Potter's Field.

Il makes my heart sad to see such con
dltions as now exist among the poor in
all parts of the city, and more than hall
of 1t !S due to drunkenness among the
mothers. The drinking woman is never
sober. Her children 90 dirty, her house
becomes bedlam and her husband either
deserts or else is dragged down by her
to her own level. When that is ,he case,
God pity the poor children.
She buys her liquor at the family liquor
store, where 1t is cheap. At the saloon
on the corner her ten cents would only
pay for one drink. At the family liquor
store she gets half pint for the ten cents.

been brought up before me-the cases OF
wretchedness and crime and suffering. all

When Sir Walter Raleigh spread his

he had shrewdness enough to know
that nothing is lost that is given to
