A WONDERFUL CLUB.

A WONDERFUL CLUB.
Yes, | have heard that the saloon
is the poor mans club. 1t is a club
with peculiar advantages. 1t saves
the poor man from paying taxes by
keeping him everlastingly broke. II
shields him from the responsibility
OF owning his home. 1t gives him
that peace of mind known to the fell
low who don't know where he is go.,
ing to live next Monday. It enables
so per cent OF the poor men who
are killed In factories to be killed.
1t is a wonderful club. It prepares
the poor. mans body for typhoid and
pneumonia so completely that he is
sure to die and thus he is kept from
gambling on his chances. 1t Is
merciful club, for II takes man to
the card table where he can be robbed
without being knocked down. II
cashes poor mans check on Sat
urday night. and this is not all, for
It relieves the poor mans thirst. and
II he has no thirst this great.hearted
club gives him one. II gives him free
lunch, and after that he will have
thirst enough for everybody In town.
All the advantages OF this club are
not for the man. They go TO the poor
mans family too. There is little
Johnnie who wanted to go through
school and become an engineer.
There is the little girl who wanted
TO become music teacher. But the
club knocks all that nonsense out OF
their heads. II sends Johnnie TO the
coal breakers and poor little Mary out
into the world where men prey on
their kind, and she falls by the way.
