Better Soldier Than statesman.

One hundred years ago on the forty
fifth anniversary Of his birth, Lord
Wellington was rewarded with the
title OF duke in recognition OF his
success In the Peninsula campaign
against the French. At the same time
the house Of commons voted $1,000
900 for the support of his new dignity.
Within a little more than a year the
famous soldier was destined to win the
great victory at Waterloo and to be
made the commander-in-chief OF the
British forces. Later In life the duke
OF Wellington became, British prime
minister. but the strong personal quail
ties that had helped him to success
as soldier were not the qualities that
best befitted for the premiership, and
the career OF the duke as a statesman
added little to his fame.

OUT OF A JOB.

OUT OF A JOB.
The cry is sometimes made that II
saloons are voted out, saloonkeepere
will Jose their jobs, and their families
will suffer. Did 1t ever occur to you
that II the saloons are not voted out,
hundreds of the patrons OF the saloons
will lose their jobs and their families
will suffer?
II there are 80 bar rooms In a city,
with two barkeepers each, would any
one say that these 80 bar rooms will
not put out of job during the year
more than 60 men? Out of the men
who patronize these 80 bar rooms,
hundreds will be discharged from
stores, shops, offices. railroads and
other businesses. Isn't It better that
we should put 80 barkeepers, out of a
job than that these 60 men by their
business should put many times as
many men out Of Job?
