THE MODERATE DRINKER.
Vigorous Reply to His Argument by
the Staunch Old Scotch
man, DR.. Arnot.

That staunch old Scotchman. DR.. Ar
not, gives good illustration of the to-
tai abstinence question. You will find
the world full of men who will tell you
that they are not obliged to sign away
their liberty in order to keep on the safe
side. They know when they have had
enough; no danger of their becoming
drunkards," and the like.
DIR. Arnot says: True. you are not
obliged; but here is river we have to
cross 1t is broad and deep and rapid !;
whoever falls into it is sure TO be
drowned. Here is narrow foot bridge, a
single timber extending across He who

Is broad, strong bridge. Its foundations
are solid rock. Its passages are wide;
It's ballustrade is high and firm. All
may cross it in perfect safety-the aged

there. Now, my friends, you say: lam
not Obliged to go yonder. Let them go
there who cannot walk this timber.
True, true. you are not obliged, but as
Tor you, we know that If we cross that
timber, though we may go safely. many
others who will attempt to follow us
will surely perish. And we feel better
to go by the bridget"
Walking a foot bridge over a raging
torrent is risky business. but it is safety
itself compared with tampering with
strong drink.

those interested in a personal better

On June LIST, the line of railroad here
tofore known as the st. Louis, Memphis
and Southeastern (now Frisco System)
was extended to st. Louis, thus making
territory in Missouri and Arkansas,
along the west bank of the Mississippi
River, accessible by way of st. Louis.

Charlottesville and Intermediate points
to Memphis, also the Cape Girardeau
accommodation (dailv), leaving Union
Station 4:20 p. m.
Some years since, perhaps a quarter
of a century, this section was avoided
by reason of want of development or
progressiveness; now, however, it is con-
sidered equal, as the homeseeker and in
weston may measure, to oklahoma, In
dian Territory or Texas. The change
in condition throughout was accomplish
ed by large governmental expenditure,
a progressive people and extended rail-
road facilities promoted and maintained
by the Frisco System, operating, as 1t
does. nearly 700 miles of railway in the
immediate Mississippi Valley, less than
300 miles distant from st. Louis.

invariably abundant, timber interests
extensive and resourceful

In one of the dry goods stores of Green
county, KY. a gentleman recently paid
a small amount. all in dimes. and after
ward purchased about three dollars
worth of goods and also paid for them
in dimes. AS dimes are very scarce.
the merchant asked his customer where
he got so many. His reply was that he
bad sold load of hay to w r. Noe and
had received the full amount (S1O) in
dimes. Mr.. Noe says he was in the habit
of taking two drinks of whisky every
day, but now he gives his wife two dimes

he commenced the practice he has pur-
chased horse for 500 and paid for it in
ten installments all in dimes. and after
paying for his hay in dimes still has
