Our Boys.

Our BOyS.
The following extract is from the
speech of one of the officers of tbs
Ohio State Liquor League:
1T will appear from these facts
gentlemen that the success of our
business is dependent largely upon
the creation of am appetite for drink
Men who drink liquor like others,
will die, and If there is no new APP
petite created our counters will be
empty, as we'll as our money drawers.
Our children will go hungry, or we
must change our business to some
thing more remunerative. The open
field for the creation of this appetite
is among the boys. After men are
grown and their habits are formed,
they rarely change in this regard. 1T
will be needful, therefore, that mis-
sionary work be done among the
boys, and / make the suggestion
gentlemen, that n.ckels expended in
treats to the boys now will return
in dollars to your tills atLer the APP
petites have been formed. Above all
things create appetites.
Here is the Iull diaboliSm of the
saloon set forth in plain ungarnished
terms that makes a mans blood
course more q'-ickly and further it
makes it MIGHTY hard for fatherhood
to continue patient and temperate in
thought and utterance on this tenn
perance question. Alabama Citizen.

Out from the hearthstone the chill

Waits for the coming of guileless

Child of the rich and child of the

Pass to their wreck through the

Oh, say, will they ever come back as
they go,
Fair ais the sunshine, pure as the

Out from the hearthstone the chill

Pass from the breath of mothers

Shall a fathers vote on the crowded

Consent to the snare for the thought

All! Fathers your finest gold grows
dim
Black with the rust of such name

You may pave the street with your

And light your ways with the price
of shame,
But, say will your dearest come
back as they go,
Fair as the sunshine, pure as the
