S41.3000 00

| j z : !. + 4
These figures, however, are only ap-
|proximate;; but it is believed thai they
|are reasonable. If the estimate errs,
lit errs in being too low The aim has
been to give the saloon the benefit of
the doubt in every case.
Now where does this $41,300 come
from? The saloons claim that most Of
| their custom comes from the country.
lSppose there are 800 drinkers in the
country and 600 in the city and sup.
pose there are 800 transients who
drink, That makes a total Of 100 sa.
loon patrons. It is doubtful if there
be SO many, but for the sake of argu-
ment take that figure
Seventeen hundred customers will
have to spend $24.3O per capita tokeep
the four saloons going according to
the above estimate.
We come now to the question, What
benefit does the city reap from the sa-
(loonsY It receives $4,000 for license
money But what happens to that
$4,000? According to the Minnesota
law, Chap. 248, 10 percent of license
money must go to the maintenance Of
roads and bridges; per cent goes to
the State Inebriate Asylum at Will
mar; an extra policeman is needed on
account of the saloons and he can
hardly receive less than $50 month.
Then there are miscellaneous ex-
lpenses which may be put at the low
figure Of $40.

BENEFIT FROM THE SALOONS.

1t is maintained by many people
that a city benefits by having saloons.
They argue that taxes are lower and
that business is better. The follow

to keep the four saloons in the cit;
running, it is estimated that a turn
over of $41.300 is required This is

garden to themselves. -

CHAPTER V.
A Sunday Morning Call.


AS a boy, Arthur Lanstron had per-
sisted in being an exception to the in
fiuences of both heredity and environ
ment. Though his father and both
igrandfathers were officers who be-
lIieved theirs to be the true gentle
Imans profession. he had preferred
amy kind of mechanical toy to arrang-
ling the most gayly painted tin sol
Idiers in formation on the nursery
floor; and he would rather read about
the wonders of natural history and
electricity than the campaigns of Ma
poleon and Frederick the Great and
my Lord Nelson. Left to his own
choice, he would miss the parade of
the garrison for inspection by an ex-
ceilency in order to ask questions of
man wiping the oil off his hands with
cotton.waste. who was far more enter
tanning to him than the most spick-and-
span ramrod of a sergeant.
Upon being told one day that he was
TO go to the military school the follow
ing autumn, he broke out in open re-
bellion.
Il don't want to go to the army" he
said.
''Why?" asked his father. thinking
that when the boy had to give his rea-
sens he would soon be argued out OF
khe heresy.
ITS drilling few hours day, then
nothing to do" Arthur replied. "All
your work waits on war and you don't
know that there will ever be any war
1T waits on something nobody wants
TO happen. Now, If you manufacture
something. why, you see wool come
out cloth. steel come out an automo-
bile. If you build a bridge you see it

your results every day: you see your

Then impulse broke through the
restraint that seemed to characterize
the Lanstron Of thirty-fve. The Ian
stron of twenty-five, who had met

ibis hand on Stransky's shoulder. 1t
was a strong though slim hand that
Hooked as il it had been trained to do
the work of two hands in the process
of its owners own transformation.
Thus the old sergeant had seen a gen.
teral demonstrate with brave veteran
who had been guilty of bad conduct in
Africa. The old colonel gasped at such
"a subversion of the dignity of rank.
He saw the army going to the devil.
but young Dellarme, watching with
eager curiosity, was sensible of no
familiarity in the act. 1t all depended
lon how such a thing was done, he was
thinking.

All right, sir, you're so decent
about it," grumbled Stransky, taking
his place In the ranks.
Hep-hep-hepi The regiment started
on its way, with Grandfather Fragini
keeping at his grandson's side.A
Makes me feel young again, but it's

Then his livening glance swept the

planed down with steady swiftness,
