Decline of Drunkenness.

According to Lecky, in his History OF
European Morals" "the virtue of veracity
attains its highest development among
commercial nations" 1t is also because
we are growing greater in business lines

Tomnarancn in His Will.

James Callahan, Of Des Moines, Iowa,
who paid more taxes than any other five
Iowa men, disposed of $4,000 900 in his will
in such way that no user of liquor, NOR.
phine or any other drug can benefit from
his wealth in any way. Mr. Callahan
preached the evils OF intemperance for
three score years and ten, and he preached
them in his will also.
In addition to direct bequests for the
cause of temperance, Mr.. Callahan dis
posed of nearly $4,000, 900 to his relatives
most of them New Workers, in such way
that none of them who uses liquor can
touch cent of it.
He made a bequest of $50, 900 to found a
home for drunkards' wives and to provide
for the families of drunkards but he pro
vided especially that not one cent of the
money should be used to benefit the users
of liquor or the drunken husbands A
$4,000 bequest for the Home for the Aged
was protected against drunkards in the
same way.
my idea is said Mr.. Callahan in hi,
will, that If a person will spend his
money in the use OF such filthy and useless
drugs so that he has not enough left to
support him in his old age he must suffer
the consequences"
The bequest is made on the further con.
dition that the Home for the Aged shall
pass within six months an amendment to
the articles OF incorporation not to know
lngly admit any person to the home who
for the past ten years prior to the time OF
his application for admission has been or

other drug or drinking habitually or to ex.

attracted to 1t while he was patroll-

Alongside 1t was a small boy, indus
