hol resolution was passed:
IN view of the undoubted and ter.
ribly destructive effects of alcohol

ourselves upon record as pronouncing
It one of the greatest curses OF the
age. a detriment to human well.being

People do not have to attend church
nowadays in order to hear temperance
sermons. 1t is becoming popular for
the judge from the bench to deliver
discourses upon the evils of the drink
habit. Justice Otto Won Deter. Of
Stockton, Cal. very recently spoke
pointedly to the dozen men and one
woman who appeared before him
pleading guilty to intoxication. The
saloons" said the Judge, turn drunk
ards out into the streets faster than
we can handle them In court. The
people and the government license
the saloons that put you in the gut
ters. The hard working man, paying
off a heavy mortgage on his little
home, must pay taxes to keep you

believes in the old motto, "eat, drink
and be merry for tomorrow you may
die" and opines that If one must
waste valuable time in various sane

his almost mother-inlaw, who made
her home with him, insisted that her
daughter accompany her to divine
service, while Cradle desired the COM
partnership of the said daughter, Bes-
sic Moss, his housekeeper, during the
dun Sabbath evenings, a strain Of dis
satisfaction crept in upon the scene
of blissful domesticity and subse-
quently wrecked the old homestead.
Cradle secured the services of Bes-
sic Moss as hNusekeeper, and finally
sent for his caretaker's neither, who
