Long time ago, in the late afternoon,
when the little Indian boys were
taught to walk in the trails and
through the grass, always with their
eyes looking straight at the ground
ahead, the old men would tell them
that they must do that so that they
would not hurt their friends, the rattle
snakes, by stepping on them and pro-
Voking them to bite.
Listen, little one," the old man
would say when he was showing the
boy how to walk straight and swiftly,
and l will tell you about the time one
of our people killed rattlesnake and
how we had to learn a song from the
Tattlesnakes to keep Us safe from their
bites
And as they walked on the trail the
old man would say:
You see, back in the days when the
sun was so angry with the people that
she stopped every day up in the mid
die of the sky and glared down until
many of the people fell sick, it was a
rattlesnake who said he would go up
to the house of the daughter of the sun
and when the sun stopped there for
dinner on her next trip across the
sky he would bite her and she would
die.
And so the rattlesnake went up and
COLI beside the door of the house of
Nfaughter of the sun. 1t was not

daughter. But never again did the
people suffer from the angry sun.
Well, for long, long time the rat
tlesnake was the good friend of man
and he would not bite any of us. But
one day a woman heard her little child,
who was playing outside the house,
scream. She ran out to see what was
the matter and found big rattlesnake
coiled up close to the child. She did

STORY IN SALOON STATES.

STORY IN SALOON STATES.
The following is an excerpt from
letter received not long ago by the
superintendent of the Anti-Saloon
league in the state of Washington:
Il have just returned from a rail-
road camp in the mountains. l have
500 in my pocket. 1 need $50 worth
Of clothes. l know should buy them
today. 1 am trying to make myself
think l will buy them today, but Il
know in my heart that / will not buy
them. In two hours from now 1 will
be drunk. l do not want to get drunk
but the thirst within me is so dreadful
that cannot make you understand it.
| Those in my condition know it WELL,
| Hundreds of thousands Of moderate
drinkers will some day understand it.,
but those who do not drink at all Will
never know.
Before the week is out friend will
advance me money to get back to my
work. l will return to the city within
couple of months and l will do this
same thing over again.
Temperance may not save me, but
had there been no saloons fifteen years
ago l should have been today a re-
spected citizen. Total abstinence will
save thousands of boys now growing
up, and the father or mother who
votes to retain this most cursed Of all
curses is not worthy the name of
either father or mother.
| IF YOU could feel the thirst in nv
throat at this minute you could under
stand the words 1 have written, but
hope you will never know it, nor your
children, nor your children's children"
There is nothing new about this
letter, remarks the superintendent, ex-
cept that the writer was able to ex-
press the horror of his life in better
English than men in his condition can
usually command.

Take the Sunny Side.

As a rule you can take your choice
between walking in the sunshine or In
the shadow. There are some paths
through the woods that are always
shaded and sometimes when the sun
is high overhead, it is hard to find a
shady spot, but as rule you can take
whichever you please. And very oft.
en- the girl who grumbles because she
has a harder time than most girls, or
who complains that other girls have a
better time than she does. needs only
to learn to take the sunny side, in
stead of that which is dark and cheer
less.

GET BID OF THE SALOON.

At hearing before the Detroit city
council upon pending ordinance re-
stricting saloons in residence and fac
tory districts, representatives of q
number of big industries gave their
views. Mr.. Henry NJ. Leland of the
Cadillac Motor Car company declared
that every saloon near the plant costs
the company $4,000 per year. But he
had another reason for urging restric-
ton.
Here is a friend of mine," he said,
with five growing boys. He has set
tied in a clean neighborhood, pur-
chasing a house which he thinks will
be far from any saloon. This is seri-
GUS matter with him-for he wants his
boys to grow up clean and sober, I'M
affected by any such influence as sa-
loon exercises over youth. But sa-
loonman gets a transfer, and moves
in right next door TO this mans five
growing boys. The men of the com
mon council should consider these par
ents-and, more. they should consider
these children"
All of the manufacturers affirmed
that drink lowered the efficiency Of
their employees in a marked degree
Only one man, says the Detroit News,
spoke against the ordinance and he
was a pitiful specimen OF man "un-
der the influence of drink"

USE OF TAX MONEY.

USE OF TAX MONEY.
The mayor of Grand Forks. N. D. "a
temperance state), says: I'VE have
one OF the cleanest, most up-to-date
little business cities In the Union
Our population is only about fifteen
thousand, but our bank clearances are
more than those of most cities of 25,-
900 or 10000 people" He enumerates
their municipal utilities and public
improvements, among which are mod
ern, up-ro-date school buildings, and
tells US that they have practically no
paupers. 'On the other side of the
river, in Minnesota" he says, they
have about thirty-fve saloons and
everything else that goes with them.
Their improvements amount to very
little, their taxes are as high as ours,
and no decent person wants to live
over there; in fact, large number
Of their business people live on this
side of the river, with their families"
Minnesota tax money takes care OF
her paupers and other dependents.
North Dakota's tax money goes for
schools, filtration plants, street light
Ing, good roads and other public Inn
provements.
