THREE BEERS a DAY.

Times Republican: He drew $1.7;
a day and it was mighty hard Il
make both ends meet When the
children needed shoes--and children
always need shoes-he didn't always
have IL. The kids wore the broken
rubbers through the rain until the
pay check came at the end of the
week and sometimes they wore them
through the next week over wet feet
His wife was ashamed to go to church
or on the street because she looked
shabby and even ragged. The gro
Gerry bill was a terror and the coal
bills settled down on the family like
a nightmare. He never had money.
How can a man have money on s1.75?
Poor fellow. He worked every day.
He wanted his, folks to look like
other people. He wished that he
might have the jaunty tailormade
suits he saw and envied. But how
could man have anything on $1.75
day?
But he had TO have some pleasures.
Three beers a day are only Is cents.
Nobody nagged him at the saloon. 1t
was a pleasant sort of a place and
what little a man drinks doesn't cost
much anyway. Sure his wife object
ed, but a man must be head of the
family and anyway he worked hard
for that s1.75 day. o, yes, of course
sometimes the boys were in and a
man simply has to ask the fellows
to have one once in a while. No self
respecting man would drink alone
with a friend standing by.
On the whole, perhaps the Is cents
ran up TO quarter at times TO a
half dollar or even two. But life is
hard on $1.75 a day, and man can't
go without some pleasures, can he?
But a quarter day would pay
half the rent. Three beers a day
would buy all the rubbers for the
family and leave enough over to buy
silk dress for Sundays. a tailor
made suit and several other things
dren. A quarter a day would buy
five 200-pound hogs every year and
leave enough over to buy three tur-
keys for Christmas. 1t would buy
the potatoes for 25 families. 1t
would buy more beans than any TWEEN.
ty-fve families in Marshalltown are
likely to crave in year. 1t will buy
300 pounds of coffee; buy more -four
than the family would use in two
years: more than half a ton of sugar.
eighteen hundred bars of soap; pay
for the family washing year and
leave. enough over TO pay for six good
pair of shoes or better suit than he
has had since he began to find pleas
ure at the bar. 1t would pay the in
terest on a $500 home bought on
instruments and permit the rent
money TO, pay off the whole debt in
ten years.
But what's the use? Any person
who can use a pencil and knows the
multiplication table can run the three
or five beers a day into a good home
or the poor house as he chooses di-
rection.

Des Moines, March 29.-Specfai!
In the closest mayoralty race in the
history of Des Moines, A. J. Mathis
won out over his opponent, James X.
Hanna, yesterday by narrow mar.
gin, estimated unofiicially at 81. Ac-
cording to figures compiled early this
morning from official returns filed in
the city clerks office, Mathis had tif-
teen majority. Until the ballots had
been brought in from the last pre-
cinct no certainty was felt by either
side as to the outcome. From 900
O'Clock last night until 1880 this
morning it was first Hanna and then
Mathis in the lead, but never did the
majority of either exceed 200. Even
when there were only three precincts
left to get the official returns on,
Mathis and Hanna were tied.
