WASTED PITY.
Eastern Paper Believes That Drunk
ards Should Be Dealt With
with Stern Justice.

The pity SO frequently expressed for
habitual drunkards seems to be entire-
y misplaced, and wen they are le-
gally punished there are always people
to intercede for them on the ground
that they are not responsible for their
overindulgence in liquor. WIFI are they
not as responsible as any other per-
son who violates the laN-the thief,
for instance, or the man who assaults
defenseless women on the public high
ways? If an intoxicated man is guilty
of manslaughter or any other MUIR
derous act, he is not excused at the
bar of justice on account of his condi-
ton. Of course, we all have pity for
the sinner in a general way, but there
is no good reason why we should have
any particular COMMUNICATION for the
topper or the sot who deliberately and
persistently puts an enemy into his
mouth to steal away his brains.
There is great deal of sentimental
ity shown by well-meaning people in
the treatment of inebriates, and this
often makes him imagine that he is
more sinned against than SHINING, that
he is almost saint, in fact, who is tho
victim of circumstances.
If he were made to feel that tho
man who turns himself into beast
In any way is not entitled to kind
consideration, there would be more
chance of reforming him, and he would
see that he could overcome his temp
tation to drink strong liquors to ex,
cess just the same as man could re-
sfst any unworthy prompting Of the
sensual nature. Every living human
being is given free will and under.
standing, and he is able to make hfm-
self reputable or the contrary, as he
chooses. Let us have done with pat.
ting the drunkard on the back, and We
may make q man Of him. Boston

A Very Close Call.

every joint ached and every nerve
was racked with pain," writes G.
W. Bellany, a locomotive fireman, OF
Burlington, Iowa. II was weak

all run down. AS I was about to
give up, 1 got a bottle of Electric
Bitters, and after taking it, I felt as

WHAT q CAM Dor
A Question Which Every Christian
Should Ask Himself i'm Consid-
: erin& the Drink Problem, :.

This is question which every Chris
tian man and woman in America
should ask very earnestly and serious
~ before the Lord, as touching their
personal relations to the drink ques-
ton and the long list of hear taches and
heartbreaking questions that logically
grow out of the licensed saloon issue.
There are upward of 100000 habitual
drunkards in the United States, and
100000 of these are topping over into
the abyss of a drunkard's eternity
every year; or, in other words, 275 of
these poor unfortunates of the earth
are thus slipping into a drunk
ards awful doom every day,|
which,, allowing the ordinary ratioi
OF one man representing a fam
lily of five, makes the picture mosti
appalling one when we realize that
this fearful maelstrom of licensed in
iquity is thus plunging into degrada-
ton, despair and death 1878 people
every "a hours, four-ffths of whom
are Innocent women and children, and
we turn from the CHASTITY scene al
most in despair when we remember
that 100000 bright, clean, intelligent
boys must be enticed into the net Of
this arch-destroyer of human hopes
and happiness every year to take the
places of those who have passed on to
Judgment, for the ranks of the first
named 100000 must be constantly re-
cruited or the saloons would very soon
be out of business.
What say you, brother, sister? Must
your own darling boy fall into the
snare, or your Sweet daughter become
the bond-slave of one who shall after
ward be transformed into drunken
demon, before you will awake to the
awful danger and responsibility that
lies just at your own door?
For, as sure as the word of God be
true, if we are to keep silence and let
the nation plunge deeper and deeper
into this quagmire of licensed dam
nation without a protest that shall
ring so clear and loud that the noise
and voice thereof shall reach even to
the very gates of Heaven, we shall
surely be guilty of the blood of all
these that fall.
Aye, brother, sister, ask yourself as
you read the word Of God, in the
light Of hat has been to other nations!
sand peoples Of W hat hall
Be rs this blessed land ttf the Tree, iff
this pestilential debauehery Shall be:
permitted to go on? -
And then, as you shall be given spir-
itual vision to behold the end, except
the nation shall repent Of her sins and
plead for forgiveness before God, may
you ask yourself again: What have I
done; what am I doing to stem this
fearful tide, of drunkenness and woe,
and in earnest petition before the
throne of grace may you be led to
pray: Lord, what wilt thou have me
do?" and have Divine grace given you
so that your ear may be attuned to the
voice of the spirit, and whatsoever He
saith unto you do it, For the time
is short, and the harvest is at hand.

deal of character in typewriting.

same machine; paper and actual words;

~, says the Chicago Tribune:
In recent law case, where a
lengthy typewriter document Of
many sheets was in question, it was
alleged that one of the pages included
had been substituted for another
sheet. Although to casual eye all
the sheets seemed to be the work Of
one hand, experts showed that, the
spacing was quite different, especially
between the end of one sentence and
the beginning of another, and on the
substitute sheet the new paragraphs
began in quite different position on
the lines, and the letters we're shaky
instead of upright and firm. And the
punctuation-the crucial test-was
wholly different. -~A .-s
+" The experts we're unable to trace the
person who had done the bogus type
writing, but they agreed that it was
a woman, young, and, only beginner
at typewriting; that she was nervous,
not strong, and that her education
was only moderately good.
The writer of the other sheets COM
pr1sing the document was defined from
the evenness, correctness and frmness
of the typewriting to be an expert
encad "typist.''
