A HAND FOR THE TEMPTED.

1t is no great virtue to be brave
when we have neither trials nor
temptations. One man may walk
down the avenue with the liquor
interests fianuting their devicis on
every hand, and he may have
only a deeping disgust for the
whole business. There is no
temptation and it requires neither
courage nor self-control for him
to walk in the midst of these
enticements. But to some unfort-
innate one who is-adicted to the
use Of strong drink, and is trying
manfully to overcome his besett-
ing sin, to him it is a temptation
to go down that avenue. He
must walk with a prayer on his
lips and courage in his heart that
he may overcome the snares
that are set for him. He is run
ming a gauntlet of fire. He needs
the help of God and a brothers
hand. It is the man with the
appetite who needs to pray that
the angel of the Lord may be
round about him. He should
have our sympathy and our help
that he may pass through this
furnace of fire unscathed. To
place temptation in the way of
the man who is doing his best to
reform, is worse than to put a
stumbling block in the way of
the blind. United Presbyterian.

that DR.. Bruner, the Republic IAN

AMERICAN WOMEN NOT DRUNK
ARDS.

Because a few poor, idle, use
less society women, lacking en-
ployment for brain or hands,
have taken to drinking more
than is good for them, certain
people who ought to know bet
ter raise the cry that the women
of America are becoming drunk
ards. Silly and stupid statement.
Not only is drinking very rare
among the real womanhood of
this country, but drunkenness a.
mong men is rapidly growing
less. Whiskey is in retreat.
Whiskey drinkers are quietly
but not the less effectively made
aware of public disapproval
1t used to be rather amiable
weakness in a merchant a lawyer,
or physician that he ahould oc-
cassionally be overcome by drink.
What man will to-day employ a
drunken doctor or retain a drunk
en- lawyer or do business with a
drunken merchant? What chance
has a drunken clerk or a drunken
mechanic to get a position or to
hol d one?
The world grows wiser every
day and in nothing has it shown
greater growth in wisdom than
in this matter of repudiating
drink and drunkards. We still
have a long way to go before all
men will use alcohol in modera-
ton or not at all, bat we are still
making progress
4 Men drink less and less. AS
for women, we repeat that the
great mass of self-respecting. in
dustrious American womanhood
is as far from drink slavery. as
it is from drug slavery.
Both addictions are desperate
resort of the weary, idle rich.

NEW YORK COTTON MARKET

new York, January 30.-The lotto,
market was weak and unsettled durin
toaays trading, with prices making
new low record for the season, unde
oear pressure and liquidation. The
CLOSE was steady but at a decline of
10 " points, al months showing the
greatest loss. Sale We're estimated a
100000 bales.
Inc opening was steady at an ad
vance Of 2 points, on some covering by
Yesterdays sellers in spite of the TACT
that Liverpool cables fully met yester
days decline in the local market. bu
shortly after the opening the list eased
OFF under the big estimate for toner,
rows receipts at Houston. Local bears
became a little more aggressive on the
decline stop orders were uncovered
around midday, and the March long
interest seemed to be rendered uneasy
by the talk of big tenders of low grade
Gotten on March contracts. That posi-
ton sold off to GIG, Or % points net
lower and 81 points below the receut
high level, and the summer months
showed a net loss Of about. II to !S
points, while the new crop was dull
and relatively steady. Toward the
close there was enough covering to
cause a rally of 2 Or ; points, out the
decline appeared TO be attracting no in
veStment buying of consequence.
Southern spot markets continued quiet
and unchanged according 20 the Official
reports and it is stated that stocks at
the counted interior towns have lost
about 5000 bales so far this week.
Exports for the day were lighter, being
hardly half the receipts al the ports.
