They have some queer ways of doing
things over in England. The published
reports of the meetings being held there
in the interests of temperance by
Charles NJ. Sheldon of this city show
the customs which in this country would
seem decidedly odd.
1t seems from the reports that there
is a regular routine for every temper
ance meeting. There is no originality or
variation in the programme. Here is
the regular unalterable line of march:
Dignitaries, with DR.. Sheldon in
midst, assemble on platform.
Resolution moved endorsing Temper
ance Alliance.
Resolution seconded.
Speech by DR.. Sheldon endorsing the
resolution.
Resolution adopted.
Resolution moved thanking DR.. Shell
don for speech.
Resolution seconded.
Resolution adopted
After which the meeting adjourns. OF
course the moving and seconding of
these resolutions gives opportunity for
other people to make speeches, but
these speeches are always subordinate
to that of DR.. Sheldon
In some places they have stereopticon
pictures-they call them "limelight pic
lures" Among other things thrown on
the screen is a series of views of Topeka.
which is being used as an example of
what town ought to be.

DR. Sheldon had another series of
splendid meetings last week. On the
Monday evening the scene of the DEM

A little Reckoning.

Let us figure up what it will mean to the industries of the country when the billion, two hundred million of dollars which are now worse than wasted in strong drink, are brought in hand to buy new shoes, hats, clothes, food, stoves, carpets, houses. Ask any manufacturer, or any business man as to that, what it would mean to add twenty to thirty per cent to his cash sales or bank deposits-a home market demand, healthy and permanent.
 Any twelve-year- old boy or girl or any weary eyed wife Of drinker can tell these voters for liquor that it will be a glad day for their home when the husband or father stops wasting money for drink. Any x-year.old child can tell how happy she will be when papa has money to buy me new shoes and new dress and hat" It means the difference between privation and plenty in their homes.

In the evening MT Mckinley sent the night shirt to MT. Bryan's hotel. Today he received the following note from Mir. Bryan;
