National Meeting In Chicago

At recent meeting of the Head
quarters Committee of the Anti-Sa-
loon League of America, it was de-
cided to hold the next national con-
vention of the Anti-Saloon League
in Chicago. The date is the first
week in December, 1909. During
the preceding week the field workers
of the various State Leagues will
meet in conference.
This means a great boost for the
anti-saloon movement in Illinois. The
great men Of the League will be here
and will be heard by thousands Of
people who have never heard the
League idea expounded.
It means an awakening in Chicago
itself that cannot fail to have far
reaching results.

Bonfort's Wine and Spirit Circu-

widely circulated Of all the whisky
magazines
In it's issue of December 10 it has
fifty-two pages, in whole Or in part,

In these fifty-two pages the Anti
Saloon League is mentioned just 1O4
times, an average of twice to page.
1t is referred to in many other
ways not included in the above. For
example, it is frequently spoken Of
as the "prohibition movement, -

prisoners of the State Pententary OF whom over 1900
were Incorporate when sentenced cheered enthusiastic
cally when announcement made that ffty-two
counties Of the state had voted out the saloon showed
that the desire the saloon banshed entertained

THE ILLINOIS ISSUE
When the Wave Receded

Two beer barons met in Milwaukee one day
To attend big brewers convention,
And the face OF each one look of dismay,
For their were too numerous to mention
The closing Of ten thousand bar year,
Through anti-saloon agitation,
Had sadly reduced the consumption of beer
And filled them with great CONSERVATION.
And so these two brewers named Adolf and Fritz,
Sat down to take counsel together
In the Palm Garden owned by brewer named Schlitz,
Where the chairs are upholstered with leather.
Said Adolf to Fritz, as they emptied their stems:
''Vat you dnk Of dot fool prohibition?"
Il dink, replied Fritz, were in mighty hard lines
Ven we re up against dot proposition"
Then silent they sat- looking thoughtful and grave,
The throngs all around them unheeding,
Till Adolf spoke up But it's only wave,
Und dink it's already receding."
'sAch Hmme!'' cried Fritz, ''here's hoping it isl
Let's drink someding strong to skiddoo it
Here waiter bring Adolf und me chin fzz-
It couldn't last always knew it.
When once they got started the fixes and schnapps
Down their outlets went rapidly speeding;
But they paused between drinks just to off their
And assert that the wave receding.
When finally Adolf slid down off his chair,
His absence by Fritz not needed
Till under the table, Fritz heard him declare:
'sDot temperance has receded!'

who walks in faith and lives in
hope for to him all is good and
perfect in nature. Even the
hour of death that moment of
transition is but an entrance into
the Kingdom of righteousness
and a glorious opening of the
gates of Immortality and life
eternal, such were the privileges
of Brother William A. Sheppard.
| Brother Sheppard's masonic
| life was of long duration, it was
nearly fifty years since he was
first brought to see masonic light,
he was made a mason back in
the sixties when to be mason
meant a consideration of morals
and character.
Bro. Sheppard was one of the
few that had the distinguished
honor of holding a certificate of
exemption from grand lodge
dues.
Bro. Shepard was also a true
and tried member of Christs
church miletant he was always
faithful in season and out of
season, never trying to shirk
from duty but always true to his
Masters call he was a devout and
confiding husband, true and
affectlonate father and a peace
full and loyal citizen.
We are deeply in sympathy
with the children and most tend
erly offer these words. oflhope and
cheer. Ever bearing in mind
that the young may die and the
old must die, the wisest knoweth
not how soon. Meditations thus
he must have looked from death
with a complacent smile, and as
his weary spirit approached the
Heavenly Hosts his token of adj
mission must have been
Great Master touch me with thy
skillful hand
Let not the music that is in
me die,
Great Sculptor hew and polish
me nor let
Hidden and lost thy form with
in me lie
Spare not the ftroke, do with
me as Thou wilt,
Let there be naught unfinished
broken, marred,
Complete thy purpose, that I
may become
Thy perfect image, Thou my
God and Lord.
