This, according to the roadhouse

meeting the difficulties. Finally he
evolved a scheme. Nowadays, when

Caught In tho Trap.

In a certain New England city the
license forces gained the victory By a
q majority of thirteen. That Overturn
was an establishment to the citizens OF
mo mean city" From a majority OF
hundreds for no-license for a series OF
ten years the opposition had won by
q very small margin. What did 1t
mean?
Just this: The sense of security on
the part Of many who had helped win
the victory for a decade. They failed
to 90 to the polls, believing that the
large annual majority could not, or, at
least, would not, be overcome. And
thus did they make their great mistake.
They forgot that eternal vigilance Is
the price Of liberty"
Then again, there were others who
,ad voted year after year for no-license
, thought they would change and
vote the other way; for no good reason
to be sure. Some tried to persuade
themselves that it might be a good
thing for the city; that the license fees
would increase the city's revenue; that
certain desirable Improvements"
could thus be secured without addl'
tional taxes!
And so the pendulum, lifted to a
high point on one side, swung far over
to the opposite point, for there was a
transfer of STA votes that year from
the ~no-license to the license column.
When that saloon victory was an
nounced and the people came to realize
what had happened, a gloom seemed to
settle upon the city, and this was inten-
sifed when the saloon really arrived.
One workman, who had secured a
pleasant home, and put $1,000 in the
bank, got enamored Of the saloon, and
in twelve months his bank deposit was
gone; it went into the rumseller's till.
A president Of a Christian Endeavor
society went down in the general wreck
during that year. One Of the voters
who thought a ''change" might be de-
sirable, at the opening OF the saloon
year. had two sober and promising
sons. When his ballot was cast estab-
fishing the saloons ne seemingly never
took into consideration the possibility
of danger coming to his own home.
But, alas! Those boys knew that
father had "voted for license" and
why should they not visit an "institu-
ton" which he had favored and helped
to establish? And so they did visit it
again and again, unbeknown to that
father!
One night. or nearer morning, they
were both brought home drunk. 1t
would be quite impossible to picture
the chagrin, the shame, the sorrow OF
that father. His boys, the pride OF his
life, had been caught in the ~saloon-trap,
and he had helped to establish 1t! 1t
was, to him, a grievous sorrow, and
his distress and persistence came to be
known generally. In the midst. OF his
wretchedness he was heard to say.
"Give me another chance, and I'll be
swift to vote against the saloon" And
he did, and many others with him, Tor
the meager majority of thirteen for Il
cense was wiped out the following year
by a no-license majority of 2130. 1t is
the general conviction that the last
triumph has come to stay!-The Rev.
O. w. Scott, in Rams Horn.

Caterpillar as = Weather Prophet.

An aged farmer. living near Colun-
bus, Ohio, has, for a number of years,
watched the color Of the caterpillar
and the way it changes with the
weather. The color Of that insect. late
in the fall, he claims. is a correct index
Of the-weather for the coming winter.
This year the caterpillar was dark at
either end. but very light in the mid
die, showing, according to his theory,
the fore part of the winter to be cold,
the middle warm. or mild, and the lat
ter cold. Last year, he says, the cater
pillar was dark all over. and. as proof
of his theory. this aged farmer points
to the severity of last winters weather.
