. ADVANCING THE CAUSE.

The exploit of the wife who lassoed
her husband from the very portals of
a Marshalltown saloon, tied him be-
hind the buggy and drove home at a
brisk trot. might suggest possibilities
to prohibitionists.
This husband, man of strong APP
petites and contumacious DISPOSE
ton, it seems, desired red liquor ev-
en- above his wife's company. She,
however, did not choose to go home
alone. She improvised q rita from a
halter in the buggy and threw half
hitch over the mans shoulders when
he made a break for the rumery. Be-
fore he resvized what had happened
she had him trussed all hut his
legs. When the buggy started there
was nothing for him to do but trot
along behind, unless he preferred to
lie down and slide.
There is every assurance that the
thirsty man had even greater cray
ing for drink by the time he reached
home-but 1t was a healthy thirst
the kind which water and only waite
will satisfy. The incident contain
a hint which might appeal to temper
ance people. Schools of lariet toss
Ling for women would undoubtedl.
help great deal in the cause.-De.
