Some Finances.

A town the size OF birmingham, If
il has the legalized saloon usually
spends about 100000 therein an
nually: quite sum of money to come
out of the wages of her men: many
families must miss bread, clothes,
medicine, both the retinements and
necessities of life, if 800, 600 is to go
into the saloon keepers till.
1t may be largely changing about
of blessings; the saloon keepers chill
dren may have pony cart, and his
wife some extra tinery while the drink
ing mans children go without the
little wagon and his wife uses the old
cloak another year.
At the best it means that the drink
ing and his family lose many thing
they might otherwise possess, things
that bless and enrich life.
Reckoning 5000 familes to the
town, IL would mean one barrel of
flour for every family, 100 pounds OF
sugar for each family, 100 pounds Of
meat for each one, turkey and ham
for every one, six pairs of shoes for
each one, suit OF clothes to be put
into each family, ton of coal for
each and then have $4,000 TO spend
on dry goods, $4,000 for books and
papers, $4,000 for medicine, $1,000
for vacations, $40, 900 more for Injuries,
and $4,000 more for pocket money.
And yet the men who give their
money to the saloons in license year
prefer to continue so doing rather
than TO bless the families with all the
above luxuries and necessities
Sad, sad condition

Some Advertising Fakes

There is not reader in The Repub.
lican but has noted in magazines and
cheap family story papers the alluring
propositions made by advertisers, who
for dime, quarter or dollar will send
something worth ten times the value.
No doubt many OF our readers have
answered some Of these advertisers
and learned that their propositions
were fakes The fact Is, few of them
are not fakes. The young man with
an obscene mind is attracted by the
Rock, for young men
only; filled with good things. Illus
trated, send ST." The young man
sends his money and gets in return-a
small pocket testament" Thus goes a
hundred of these fakes. A Philadel.
phia man has been making collec-
tion of these fakes, and of these he
says:
There are more valuable collections
than mine in this world" he says,
but doubt II there is one which
affords its owner moe amusement
My wife says have thrown away
quantities Of dimes and quarters on
mere foolshness; but when think of
the laughs have had | consider that
the money has been well spent.
For instance, some one advertised
in number Of small farm and country
papers some years ago offering to send
for only % cents something which
would prove quick and certain death
to any number Of potato bugs, If used
according to directions, / sent a quar-
ter and received this. "
He displayed two little blocks of
plain, unvarnished pine, upon one of
which was pasted label reading:
place this block on the ground put
the potato bug upon it; then strike it
quickly and firmly with the other
block. Repeat the operation once for
each potato bug in your fields"
Another quarter forwarded in ans
wer to an advertisement guaranteeing

for that price 'sure way TO save
your gas bills" brought a wire file,
such as bills of all sorts are commonly
kept upon.
A gem Of the collection is an answer
received to an advertisement which
offered for quarter to send sure
tip on how TO get rich quick. The
tip read Fish for suckers, as we do. I"
Similar to this is card received in
return for % cents sent to learn chow
to make money fast" 1t read: "Glue
1t to the wall"
In fultillment Of promise that for a
dime one would be told how TO make
a good impression whenever desiring
to do so came the instruction "Sit
down real hard in a tub Of soft soap"
A little cardboard tray, over the
surface Of which are pasted diamonds
cut fir )m pack Of cards, came in re-
turn for 80 cents, which was sent on
the strength of an advertisement
Offering to furnish for that sum a tray
of Montana diamonds.
That Is the most expensive exhibit
but one in my collection" the Phila-
delphia man explained. "The excep-
ton is a rifle which was the first of
fake advertisements to take me in.
81 was a mere boy then, working
out on farm. | read the advertise
ment, Offering a splendid rifle for only

rifle. With it came letter: Here

the same fix: besides, experience is
cheap at any price
81 didn't kick, but I'm afraid |
didn't learn my lesson. Possibilities
Of hidden humor had been revealed
which appealed to me. kept the
rife, and years afterward when |
could spend occasional dimes and
quarters for amusement, started my
collection"

THE REPUBLICAN is in receipt of
copies of the birmingham, Massa-
chusetts papers AT the present time
a Citizens League is engaged in fight
against the liquor traffic. A mo
license" campaign is being made, and
we note with satisfaction that the
Citizens League feels greatly en-
couraged in its fight This League is
non-political and is supporting the
nominees of either party as it be-
lieyes them fit. In the birmingham
papers this League endorses this, that
and the other candidate for the
council and police positions, tells why
and signs itself by its officers.
Arguments used against the liquor
traffic in birmingham are good for
Logan and we here present few
short clippings from the Tribune,
which says:

Life Saving Dog.

How a mongrel dog, common cur
OF the streets, saved mans life Is
recorded by Il Louisville newspaper.
As its story goes, man named Louis
Carr was painting the rear of vacant
house
When noon approached he was at
work at the top of his ladder, just
under the caves. Being in haste to
finish his work. and not wishing to
spend time in going down to move the
ladder, he stretched as far as posi-
BILE to one side.
Just then he felt the ladder slipping
away from him, and, as the only
means of saving himself, he dropped
his brush and seized the gutter with
both hands. Down went the ladder,
and there the painter hung, thlrty-five
feet from the ground.
He shouted for help, but no one
heard him-no one but dog, which
came round the corner in answer to
his cries.
Evidently the dog took in the situa-
ton at once. He barked furously,
winding up with a long howl. Then
he ran out Of the yard and across the
street to police station There he
barked again, and then ran back to
the yard He did this two or three
times, till the policemen began to see
that something was the matter, and
followed him to the rear of :he house.
Then 1t was but the work of a mo-
ment to put up the ladder and rescue
the painter, who was ready to drop
from exhaustion
No owner could he found for the
dog Carr adopted him.

Sleuth Not to Blame,

A Manchester n. H., woman com.

has proceeded so far in strict com

constitution, and the ground is
swept away upon which the past
agitation rested. There remains
nothing but TO dispose OF the pre-

The Reconstruction OF Germany.

The latest, but not the concluding, volume
in the History OF All Nations" series, pub
lished by Lea Brothers & Co, is entitled
The Reconstruction of Europe, by Prof.
THEopoR FLATHE, the translation from tho
original German having been performed
under the supervision Of DR.. J. H. Wright,
professor of Greek in Harvard University.
The book before us carries the reader from
the political reaction Of 1851 in Germany
and the establishment Of the Second Empire
in France to the end Of the war Of Is7O-7I
and the resultant unihcation Of Germany.
Among the topics comprehended, all Of
which, it must be remembered. are dis
cussed from a German point OF view, are
the Crimean War, the establishment OF
Italian unity, the Vatican Council, the Kul-
tur-Kampf, or religious conflict in Germany,
and the evolution Of the Social Democracy
It is chiefly to what Prof. F1athe has to
say about the reconstruction Of Germany
that we shall here direct attention.
