AN ILLUSTRATED SHORT STORY.
Once upon time there were a num-
Der OF people who said they desired to
attain certain end. But when the
time came to set in motion the proper
means to the end many of them became
indifferent or acted contrary to their
professions. They lived not in the Old
World, nor in the lone, long ago. Thev
resided in Virginia in the year A. d.
1905. They said they wanted the Mann
law amendments, but when the time
came to secure the amendments by the
election of temperance legislators manv
of these self-same people performed the
feat above illustrated. And just so long
as temperance people vote for liquor
candidates, just so long will we remain

as a result of it, said to him: ''Bristow.
you temperance. people have the right
side of this question. 1t is all argument
against appetite
Truer words were never spoken, and
they suggest several thoughts. Ap-

mind, rational, pertaining to that which
differentiates from the brute and brings
the individual into likeness unto the
Creator. Appetite sensuality. Argu-
ment-God-likeness. Now, by which
should man be controlled-b his car
nal, bestial appetite, or by his judgment?
Which shall control-that which is most
like the brute, or that which is most like
God? HE that soweth to his flesh shall
of the flesh reap corruption, but he that
soweth to the spirit shall of the spirit
reap life everlasting. Civic Sentinel.

against the house cat, who, with all her
charming and lovable qualities, is
shown to be an agent of disease, and
wholesale destroyer Of bird life. DR..
Caroline A. Osborne, who has been con.
Quoting experiments at Clark Univer-

eczema and ring-worm. Even when
cats do not actually contract these
maladies they may carry the contagion
about with them. AS nimrods they
are responsible for the death of about
fifty birds year, according to Z. II.
