flashed through his mind.
Hold ON minute!" he exclaimed,
and, turning to Allen, he asked anx-
iously, Does this here guest Of honor
have to kiss the bride?"
The question was so foreign to the
serious topic which had just been un-
der discussion that every one laughed
in relief of the nervous tension.
Aliens fun loving nature at once
dubbed to the surface. With an air of
assumed anger he said to the sheriff:
"Of course; every guest has to do It,"
Then, turning to the cowboys, he
asked, "Is there any one here as holds

Toronto, Ont, Nov. i1-The quIes-
tor Of labor and the saloon was DIS
crssed this afternoon by promhHfl
labor leaders at a big mass meeting III
Massey hall. The Rev Charles StclZie,
n fratelnal delegate to the convention
Of the American Federation OF labor
from the Federal Council oi the
Churches of Christ in America, pre-
sided and made the principal address.
Th, other speakers included VICE
Pre- sidcnt John Mitchell and Treasurer

e., Of .Amer ca and James Simpson OF
Toronto. Mr.. Mitchell declared that

conditions Tor the wage Garner 4 DONG
more 10 promote temperance than any
other organization and he refuted the
! contention that shorter hours OF "a
Dor and increased wages result in and-
! el nrcfits TO the saloon.
Mr.. Lennon said the liquor business
| lowers the standard of efficiency of the
vorkineman and prcpheSied that the
time would come when the forces OF
| labor would be arr2yed against the
| saloon.
| The United Mine Workers, Mr.,
| Lewis said. have prohibited their menu
bers from selling intoxicants even al
| ricnics. Education of the masses, f'
| argued, would go q long way toward
| cradicating the liquor traffic. Rev. MI.

| The saloon and the labor hall must
