Intemperance in Relation to the
Wtiskey Problem.

(Composi5ion by Miss Mary Barratt,
Moss Hill school, age Is; won second
price,
1t was sad day for the world when
the making of whiskey first began.
The use of whiskey in any form is
bad practice, for when men begin US
ing it there is no telling to what it
may lead them.
A drunk mans face turns red, his
eyes become bloodshot, his limbs are
weakened, he loses his senses and
falls into the gutter; an object of pity
and horror.
Many thousand homes are blighted
by whiskey.
The husband or father who drinks
whiskey until he is drunk does not
deserve a home.
Think of the poor wives who spend
their days in misery, striving to keep
things together, and yet unable to Go
so because of the men who promised
to love and protect them until death.
Perhaps the habitual drunkard be-
gins by glass with friend; he gets
the taste and then takes another and
another, until finally he Graves it,
and is past recalling.
Do not the greater number Of crimes
originate in the wine glass? Men be-
come drunk and shoot down their
friends or even injure their own fam
lily, without realizing what they are
doing, until the..leed is done and it is
too late.
The excessive use Of whiskey in
jures the physical and mental abilities;
we ought to realize that our minds
and bodies have been given to US by
God to take care of and use for the
benefit of the world, and not wasted
by allowing whiskey to become their
master.
In so beautiful and grand a country
as this all men should be temperate,
and should use their faculties in serv-
ing their fellowman and God.-Green-
wood Index.

The Ugly Word.

When a lovely lassie tells you,
As you're sitting by her side,
That man has never kissed her,
Though dozen men have tried;
Though you doubt it, beSot hasty,
Let your anger be deferred;
Do not qualify the lassie
By that short and ugly word.
When a lovely lassie whispers
That she'll never, never wed;
That she's planned to dwell with
mother
And to care for her instead,
Hold your tongue, o, doubling brother
Many times that tale you've heard;
Just remember that she's lady
Kill that short and ugly word.
When that self-same lassie muJmurs !
That a secret she will keep,
That she'll tell no living person.
In her heart twill ever sleep,
Don't believe her-do not tell her,
Treat her statement as absurd;
But its not polite to utter
That one short and ugly word.
When pretty lassie tells you
She can cook, although you know
That her mothers in the kitchen
With her arms deep in the dough,
Doubling brother, be not tractless,
Though the thought may have oc-
Cured;
Though you'd like to, still you mustn't
Speak that short and ugly word.

1t appears also that Davidge and Mrs.

fifteen or sixteen years, have been
keeping company against the wishes
of Mrs McClarney. The daughter left

shot taking effect, passing through

Cincinnati, Ohio, Oct. G,--The New
| YCrk-Chieago tie game of September
23rd over which there has been so
much controversy and on which may
depend the national league champion
ship, must be played off October s.
according to the tining of the three
directors on whom had devolved the
various protests that had arisen Pres.
ident Pulliam was sustained both in
holding that the game of the 23rd was
a tie and in his further decision
against Chicagos claim OF forfeited
game on the following day. 1t was
held that the protest of Chicago in re-
gard to the first game had prevented
the playing of the second, the direct
ors in that particular confirming the
decision of Pulliam.
After the decision was announced
Mr.. Ebbetts, who was presiding, was
asked whether it was optional with
the clubs about playing the game or
whether later developments in the
way Of a victory for Boston over New
York in the present series would af-
feet the decision. He answered en-
phatieally that the decision was man
datory and that later conditions woull
be considered when they arose.
