William Bess, went home intoxi-
Gated and during an animated dis
cussion with his wife threw soup
plate at her. His aim was poor and
the plate hit his nineteen months
old baby girl in the face with such
force as to break the dish, and it is
believed, to destroy the sight of
her eyes forever. The little blind
girl is splendid testimonial to
the virtues of the Rev. Mr.. Wasson.

Professor Poelman of the German
University Of Bonn has studied the
records of those who have descend

over a hundred years ago. He
finds that l62 of them were profess

Of unchastity, 81 inmates Of poor
houses, committed murder and 78
others convicted of crime. The to-

Out of a total membership of $50
the Minnesota Retail Liquor Deal
ers last week raised an enormous
fund of twenty-five dollars for a
woman who was deserted by her
husband. In reporting it to the St.
Paul Pioneer Press one of the liq-
uor men said, land we have yet to
learn of any church that has given
that poor woman cent. - Thomas
Lally, former president of the As
sociation, even went so far as to
challenge the First Baptist church
to a test of generosity. 1t is par
ticularly worthy Of note that Mr..
Lally did not leave off talking un-
til he had told the reporter, 81
gave her a five dollar bill and told
her l would see that her rent was
paid" Modest man! 1t is very
commendable that the liquor deal
ers' alleged hearts should be
touched with pity for a poor wom-
an. AS DR.. Riley of the First Bap-
tist church remarked, IF they de-
sire, they can begin to support the
homes they have ruined; that will
keep them busy for some time. -
We shall doubtless be informed
from time to time when a nickel is
dropped into the "charity box" by
whom it was dropped and for
whom it was intended.
The great and good governor of
Indiana, Mr.. Hanly, a few days
since delivered a masterful oration
in which there were forty sentences
each beginning II hate" and set
ting forth forty reasons why he
hates the liquor traffic. He waxed
quite eloquent before the ordeal
was over. However, the liquor
dealers do not seem to have any
particular reason for hating the
governor; at least they have not SC
expressed themselves. So far as
we are able to learn, he will receive
his usual amount of their co-opera.

Says Gund's Beer advertisement
''The worlds greatest scientists
unanimously declare that the
amount of alcohol contained in beer
(35 per cent? is absolutely neces.
sary to the majority of human be-
ings." You old fraud, you know
that is plain, unvarnished lie.
The worlds greatest scientists say
no such thing, but rather to the
opposite extreme, that your rot-gut
beer is positive injury to those
who drink it.
Hon. Seaborn Wright, the leader
of the Democratic party of Georgia
and one of the most influential
members of that party in the coun.
try, in speech at Chicago recently
said: Il am southern Democrat,

that the big, clean, incorruptible
Democracy of the South is anything
like the Chicago brand. There is
about us as much similarity as
there is between an eagle and a
vulture. Now, that seems to tickle
you self-righteous Republicans, but

colored contingent of your party an
