of little stimulant after his trip up

to extremes he may tell the barkeep

you know that a great wave of tenn
perance reform is sweeping the once
sunny Southland? Yes, sir, Larry,
great wave of prob ibition has reared
itself to the majestic heights of the
everlasting pyramids and is now NOV

Its mighty talons tempering the wind

resistible cyclone of the western
prairie, which stands forth, firm and
faithful, veritable beacon light
throwing the handwriting on the wall
across the torrid sands of the political
Sahara and calling aloud in the clarion

awakened conscience to the storm

peals of demoniac laughter
TITS only been few weeks since we
ourselves were reforming the New York
Sunday. 1t was a hot reform while 1t
lasted, being conducted by few of those
esteemed parties who believe in making
earth SO unattractive that everybody'H

else when they die. The present way OF
observing the Sabbath doesn't suit us at

100000 ordinary persons trying to over
ride the express desires of so or 80 of us!
It's q crying shame And accordingly
they cried about it until they got a
Judge to say that in his humble opinion
Mcintyre & Heath and troupe of per-
forming walruses did not constitute sa-
cred concert for Sunday afternoon in
the strict sense of the word; and so just
for that we had couple of Sundays
here in New York that were like Phila-
delphia is the rest of the week. For two
whole Sundays there were nothing open
in this great city except all the saloons
and faces of its yawning inhabitants.

is apt to be like a runaway horse. 1t

like, ,andat DESTROYS everything else down
the street before 1t butts its brains out

Even Bob Evans caught the reform
fever. He's off now to the Pacific, ac-
companied by several of our boys and

Der, Larry, it's been a time of great
reform waves everywhere. The Presi-
dent started the movement, think, by
reforming our $40 coins. One day last
spring when he was casually trying
his teeth on some gold pieces and
dropping the fragments on the White
House floor he was struck by the de-
sign on the back side of one of them.
