life for the want of a little bit of the
barrels of water going to waste a few
rods away, and the rest was dead easy.
If you can once get an audience to
weeping or laughing you are on the
road tC success. When L had killed my
soldier. off in good shape ] presented
the picture of a sweet-faced girl trip
ping into saloon, with a GROWER to
get beer for her father, who sat in
his garnet home yelling at the hungry
baby and blasting the eyes of his weep
ing wife.
There was more weeping among the
women, and one young man got so cX-
cited that he rose up and went out to
punch some saloonkeeper' head. OF
course 1 had the little girl spill the
beer in returning home and of course
her besotted father threw her down
stairs and broke her neck 1t was the
climax that brought every one to his
feet with a demand that even ginger
beer should no longer rear its. hydra
head in America.

j pints, and the money expended amounts
to 500. 100000 a year. Aside from these
figures, drink is responsible for coo, 900
crimes every II months, causes the death
of over half million children, and does
more general harm than $500 churches
can offset.

tells this anecdote of class distinction in
an East End dancing school: There
was a young woman who thought good
deal about ancestry and descent, and
there was a young man who thought that
all such stuff was snobbish. The two sat
out a dance together, and the girl mount
ed her hobby almost at once. What was
your father?' interrupted the young man.
Father was a gentleman. Hal But
what did he do for a living?' The young
man thought that smart, but the girl
came right back. What was your father?'
she asked. My father raised hogs I
see he did. But what did he do for a
