from the bucket almost as quickly as
he had dropped into it, he took a
straight cut across the room over the
heads of the pupils.

down.
1t became evident several days ago
that Mrs. Nation could not recover
and DR.. A. L. Suwalski, physician at
the sanitarium, informed her that the
end was near. She said nothing, but
smiled. Worry over lawsuit which
had been brought against lecture
bureau for alleged failure to pay for
services on the platform is said to
have caused her to break down.
Mrs. Carrie Nation was born in
Kentucky in 1916. In her early life
she married man addicted to intoxi-
cants, which created in her ali intense
aversion to the saloon. When he died
she determined to devote her life to
the suppression of the liquor traffic.
Later she moved to Kansas and mar
ried David Nation, who sympathized
with her temperance principles, but
from whom she was afterwards d.
vorced.
Mrs. Nations first saloon smashing
was done in the barroom of the Carey
hotel at Wichita, Dec. 81, 1900. She
was arrested and remained in Jail sew
eral days before she was released on
bond. On Jan. 81, 1901, armed with
her favorite weapon, Ratchet, Mrs.
Nation made another raid in Wichita
This time she smashed two joints.
In the next three months Mrs. Ma
ton surprised the jointists in various
Kansas towns, appearing unheralded
and leaving trail of ruined barroom
fixtures wherever she went. Many
jointists became terrorstricken when
the militant temperance advocate ap-
peared in their neighborhood and
locked their places and fed before the
Ratchet could get into action.
Remarkably few of the saloon men
used violence in resisting Mrs. Nation,
although she was assaulted and badly
hurt while wrecking joint at Enter
prise, Kan. BY this time Kansas was
in ferment.
Aroused by her spirit, the people be.
gan to demand that all the saloons
and joints be closed at once. Smash
ing parties were organized all over
the state. The saloon power was
being wrecked. AS a result bills were
passed by the legislature which
strengthened the state prohibition law.
Thus, erratic as her life had been.
Mrs. Nation was responsible for the
greatest temperance awakening in
Kansas.
