Both Sides." a paper published
in the Twin Cities in the interest OF
the saloons, in its issue Of Jan. 4
1912. had three or four "puney''
editorials stating the names Of
several people that booze" didn't
kill. 1t didn't say anything about
the ones booze did, or helped to
kill. I think they didn't have enough
space in their seven-column, eight
page paper to print them all, and as
they try to be fair it is evident that
they didn't want to dissappoint any
one by leaving few out, SO cut the

''Booze.'

We are told that booze is the
ruination of mankind, and 1t is I'M
doubleday the truth. / don't be-
Lev there is any other evil that can
compare to booze. A man who will
drink Intoxicating liquors evidently
has some thing wrong with s
upper story" Booze will make a
man forget those who are dear to
him and almost any paper you care
to read you will see where divorces
are granted for drunkenne and cruel
and inhumau treatment. 1t seems
almost impossible that a man will
think more Of liquor than of his
wife; the one who has taken care of
him when sick, comforted him when
in trouble and stood by him when
others have turned him down, yet
such seems to be the case in more
than one instance. Liquor will
never watch over you when you are
sick. neither will it stand by you
when you are in trouble. Men will
spend their last cent for booze with.
perhaps. a hungry family at home
waiting for the Saturday night pay.
Men who are Booze fighters" would
no doubt be the best of men if they
would let it alone. The, majority Of
crimescommitted can be laid directly
or indirectly to booze. Crimes are
generally committed when under the
influence Of liquor, or for the where
with to procure 1t. Very few men are
forced to commit a crime to keep
from, starving. When you pass
booze up, you have passed uptone Of
your worst enimies.

The Turning Point.

Is there such thing as turning
point for men and women? There
is. Now | have asked the question
and also answered it in one breath
1t makes no difference how good OF
how bad one may be, at some time
in their life there will be turning
point one way or the other. Practi-
cally every mechanical device you
think of has such a point. The auto
has steering gear to help turn it
the locomotive is turned on turn
table and so on, very few of them
will turn without some kind of as
sistance, man will very seldom turn
voluntarily from one path to the
other, from wickedness to righteous
ness, he invariably must have assist
ance of some nature, he must be
shown why it is to his best interest
to turn. Man will seldom turn vol
UNFAIRLY from a path of righteous
ness to one of wickedness, there is
generally some power that is turn
ing him it may be either visible or
invisible, but it is there. Some, on
reaching the turning point are, not
aware of it and are turned before
they really know what has happen
ed. If you have been turned for
the worst, then commence at once
to turn back before the turning
pivot becomes rusted, making the
turning process doubly hard. If
you have been turned for the best,
try to stay that way until the rust
has entirely destroyed the pivot. It
will be impossible for you not to
know when the turn comes, and, if.
you are already turned on the down

The DELUDERER

When Dennis came into Killarney,
He had naught but his flute and his cheer
So he sat himself down at the thaggart'
An the colleens and gossoons drew near,
An the blow of him, faith all the song birds
With envy they went nearly wild;
He'd bring schmiles to the lips of the sad ones,
An tears to the eyes of child.
The good Father, one day, he met Dennis,
An spoke of his deluderin' wiles,
Instead of phllanderin' and rowing,
You should be liftin' lame dogs over sthiles.
Faith there isn't girl in Killarney,
If she met you beneath soft moon;
But what would lave all for to follow
Yourself, with your song an your chune.
Dennis didn't boast brogue nor cobbeen,
With no bit of kin nor of SIRE
But his schme an his song gave him welcome,
To hammock in fore to the fire;
Shure he was tn one to be kissin'
Every lass that sthrolled down through the lane,
With his bouldness he set them a-longing,
For his chunes and his kisses again.
His reverence met him in the bog lane
With his flute and his face lit with schmiles,
Faith Father, remember, you tould me
To be lftin lame dogs over sthiles;
met with your servant girl Kitty
An there wasn't dog in mile,
So to stick to your text Reverend Father,
l lifted herself Ger the sthile.
0 then Dennis ''good luck" you deuderer,
With nather pig pence,
If makers of laughs are called foolish,
May you never get back your sense.
Give way to your song and your lafther,
Make December rosy sweet June,
An we'll give you our blessin' forever,
If you II give us your songs and your chune.

It's gamble to the gambler,
To the merchant life is trade.

To the rascal life's fraud ..s-
Life perhaps is but a burden,
To the man beneath the bod.
Life is lovely to the lover.
To the player life's play.
Life may be a load of trouble
To the man upon the dray.
Life is but long vacation

To shun duty to the shirk
To the heaEen-blest romancer
Lies story ever new.

MASTER-SMITH OF THE DAY
Produces Steel Of Cutting Capacity
, surpasslng Work Of Legendary
SWordmaker.

We are all familiar with the old.
time legends Of the master-smith. who,
by his skill at the forge. was able to
produce for the hero of the tale a
weapon which should cut through the
armor Of giant or wizard and main.
tain its temper and edge against all
tests.
The modern Industrial captain has
to cut his way also througS metal.
and one Of the notable achievements
of the engineer and metallurgist has
been his success In the production OF
steels of hardness and cutting ca,
pacity which, altogether surpass the
finest work of the legendary sword
maker
Not content with the manufacture
Of tool steel Of hardness, high-speed
cutting capacity and exquisite temper.
the modern master-smith has now pro-
duced a method of converting soft
iron or lowgrade steel into tool-steel
of the highest grade simply by the in
fusion Of the necessary proportion of
carbon and other elements by contact
and proper heat treatment, so that
keen-edged chisels may be made from
railroad spikes and machine cutters
from soft and inexpensive steel
Trials of cutting tools made by the
infusion process at the ordnance bureau
of the United States navy department
have given such remarkable results,
both as to cutting speed and endur-
ance, that the chief of the bureau
says: From the'test of the Infusion
treated samples it appears superior
to any hardening process now IN use
at the naval gun factory" so that the
modern master-smith has outstrlpped
the tabled tales of the wizard weap-
on-maker Of medieval times.
