THE Gagged BIRD

know what the Gagged bird feels alas!.
When the sun is bright on the upland slopes
When the wind stirs soft through the grass,
And the river flows like stream of glass;
When the first bird sings and the first bud opes
And the faint perfume from its chalice steals,
I know what the Gagged bird feels.
know why the Gagged bird beats his wing
Til its blood is red on the cruel bars:
For he must fly back to his perch and cling
When he fain would be on the bough aswing.
And a pain still throbs in the old, old scars,
And the pulse again with keener sting
l know why he beats his wings.
know why the Gagged bird sings all me,
When his wings is bruised and his bosom sore
When he beats his bars and he would be free,
1t is not corol of joy or glee
But prayer that he sends from his hearts
deep core
But plea that upward to Heaven he filings
l know why the Gagged bird sings.

Fragment From THE Brand In The Flesh

Cancelled across with "Drunkard!', stamped
with ''Thiefr'
His name! The horror Of it Thief-his name

Dulled his poor brain with the hand of Death,
And he could but repeat my name and thief
The shame of it. All, that stings
That fires his sluggish blood, that clears his
BRAIN
The shame of it! He cries,
No! 1t shall not be, say it shall not be!
The darkling prince shall not so brand my name
And foul my SOUL
Drunkard and Thief? No. never! will break
And striking out to break the tempting flask
He woke.

DRUGS USE A MENACE
An Inmate Tells of the Dangers
and Conditions Resulting
from Dope, and Warns
Beginners
By F. j. E.. 1854

A person addicted to the use of
opium, morphine and cocaine is a
menace to society, therefor when
the time comes for you to leave,
and If you would succeed | would
advise you to never, under any cir
cumstances, to touch any narcotic
drugs, or have anything to do with
any person who is addicted to their
use.
Fortunately the states are passing
stringent laws to restrict the sale of
these drugs to improper persons,
but even at that, there are unscru-
pulous druggists who will sell them
to persons having money to buy
them, law or no law.
A person who has the dope habit
is certainly one of the most pitiful
objects on the face of the globe; an
outcast that even the poorest tramp
looms up as king in comparison
to him.
Let me give some characteristic
of dope fiend." emaciated, shift
less, without will power whatever,
steadily going down, down, until at
last he fills pauper's grave, mourn
ed by no one.
He will steal anything and every
thing; he will sell his best friend,
and even will not hesitate to COM
nit murder in order to get enough
money to satisfy his craving appe-
tite for the drug.
am particularly bitter against
this habit, as thru it's use | lost one
of the best friends l have ever had,
and | Will give you short sketch
of his life in order that you. my
brothers, may see how it takes a
man and makes him a creature to be
shuned by his fellowman.
An Example.
In a large city on the pacific
coast there lived a young man about
30 years old, moving in high soci-
ETY., well educated, with hundreds of
friends and with $4,000 in bank.
Shortly after l met him he started
in to manufacture an article which
is in use at the present time. l

at the time; the firm prospered and
was successful; everything. was
moving finely when the blight
came.
A boyhood friend came from the
east, who was addicted to the use
or cocaine. and somehow he persu-
AIDED my friend to try it's effect.
After his friend had left be became
addicted to it's use himself. Things
went from bad to worse; finally he
neglected his business altogether, he
became shiftless. didn't care for any
thing except the indulgence of his
habit. The dope had made such
1nroads on his constitution that he
was compelled to give up his bust
ness altogether.
One year later he was in such
a condition that his former friends
and acquaintance shuned him, and
| met him two years after he had
closed his business. when he was
clothed in rags, locking like tramp
and he begged me for a Qnarter to
buy himself box of dope. And a
year later he was buried in pot
ter's field, with only myself and a
mer employee to mourn what was
once a fine man. Three short years
from wealthy business man to a
pauper's grave, all through using
dope. Think it over, brothers, and
