DRINK EVIL AND BUSINESS.
Dle RalIrosas and Commercial tsevss,
VIII Not Tolerate Emptoyes A.
diete6 20 lNtsmperanee.

The best Temperance lecturers are
the hard-hsaAed men of akairs. The
most convincing words are ofncial o.
ders. There's NO sentimentality or
navkishncss about them. says the
New York Tribune.
Down in Baltimore there has been
much trouble at the city hall. Two
men have been arrested recsntly for
embexxlement. and one Of them frank
y admits that his downfall came from
drink. The whole condition Of ~
fairs there has been demoralized. and
90 the mayor has determined to be
drastic In curing the evil. He has
just issued this statement:
The man who does work at the
city hall must keep straight and let
whisky alone. l am not going to
stand for this occasional spree any
longer. and any employe who remains
away from his work to indulge in
whisky will be dismissed imme'
diately."
This Baltimore case II not q spor-
adic example of good sense. The
wisdom II epidemic. It affects the
facturer. Railroads are especially
stringent. Some Of the big lines &C
20 far that they discharge an EN-
ploye seen going into q saloon or com
ing from one. The lives Of too many
hang on the clear-headedness of the
railway men. and those In authority
are taking no risk. It's too costly
Moreover. business competition IL
too keen nowadays for any firm tc
give its rival the odds by employing
Incorporate men. The keen edge
of their ability to sell goods. to make
contracts. to be personally persuasive
II blunted by drink.
The men who make these orders
and see that they are rigidly enforced
are not known a. reformers They are
glad. incidentally. that they are help
ing the world to grow better. but
their main purpose is selfish. II they
are high In ONCE, and firmly clamped
there. they may take their own pipe
and glass. but even then It will moi
be In working hours. During such
time they obey the rules they them
selves have made.
It ID In . like practical way that
may desired reforms Of the world will
come. Emotionalism Ii good, but moi
lasting. Business needs and business
selflshness work for good even while
they are working for themselves. And
the good remains.

NEVER ALLOWED a SALOON.
lows City, with 5000 Population, Has
Existed for Years without q
! Drinking Place.

That . city Of 5000 population can
flourish without saloons, is the boast
Of Mason City. which has the distinc-
ton Of being the largest town IL
Iowa without the saloon, where the
sentiment is backed by a majority Of
the voters. In fact. numberless chill
dren have grown up there to manhood
and womanhood who have never seen
saloon unless they have been out
Of the city. 1t II also fact that a
great many common laborers. ~ well
as railroad men. Join with a large
majority Of business and professional

urer more than enough to pay the
salary Of the mayor. This looks pretty
good In comparison with some of the
cities of the state where saloons are
maintained.
In improvements, how does the
largest anti-saloon city in Iowa com.
pare with other cities? The answer
is certainly favorable. It owns its
own waterworks plant. which is val.
ued at 100000. The city has three
miles Of paving and ten miles of sew.

The church census Of the city gives
an actual church membership OF
5000. All have nne churches. There
are six schools and one $4,000 high
school. They are all we'll equipped
and teachers are well and promptly

Keeping Sweet.

1t Is not a matter Of temperament
nearly as much as some people imagine.
To have CHEEKY and sunny and care
free habit OF thought and life is some
thing probably to be sought after and
cultivated more than It Is; but there Is
a greater achievement than this, and q
much more Christian and fundamen
tai one.
1t is not a matter of circumstances OF
surroundings or chance happenings in
life. Some of the sweetest souls-those
who keep most resolutely the bitterness
Of envy aud mistrust and narrowness
and pessimisM out of their scheme OF
life-have had to drink most deeply of
the cup Of sorrow and trouble and affiic.
tion. Keeping sweet is habit of the
soul /; 1t is not learned lightly by very
many Of US; but it may he, it ought to
lie, maintained and persisted in even
when life is doing its worst for us.
Just to take men and things at their
best (perverse men and perverse things
1t may be), to rosolutely shut your soul
to whitening doubt and pessimism and
fear, to be brave and hopeful and ex.
pectant Of the best, to let kindness and
patience lave their perfect work both
In your thought and In your deep-all
these are implied just In keeping sweet.
We discount our religion most serious.
ly and fatally when we do not allow !,
to train and discipline us in this fine
art Of Christian expression. We gel
the notion sometimes that harshness
means strength. and We try to justify
bitterness and unkindness in the name
Of our zeal for Righteousness and truth
But we seldom succeed In satisfying
our own conscience by the subterfuge,
and we do always succeed in taking
something in taking something from
the winsomeness and charm and real
power of the religion that we profess,
1t is question II the lack Of kindiiness
Of forbearance, Of sweet reasonablenese
that nanifests itself in our lives q
often and SO constantly does not dc
more to dfshonor the name Of the Son
OF Man and to discredit the causes of
his kingdom than all the other failures
and shortcomings that our lives dc
show.-The Christian Guardian.

A Smile and . Task.


Keep q smile on your lips; II IL better
To joyfully, hopefully try
For the end you would gain than to

Your life with moan aud sigh.
There are clouds In the armament ever
The beauty Of heaven to mar,
Yet night sO profound there Ii never
But somewhere is shining star.
Keep task in your hands; you must
labor;
BY deeds is true happiness won;
For stranger and friend aud for neigh

With jOy-giving sOng and with smile,

sift together two cupfuls Of flour, q

II slightly sweetened rolls are liked,

Of lard and butter, and wet to dough-
with a cupful Of rich milk. Turn out
on b Toured board aud roll out, spread
with butter, fold aud roll once more.

Make into rolls the length of the finger
and almost half as broad as they are
long. Put closely together In small

butter and bake for twenty minutes In
