bltion. The preachers have sounded the tocsin and
the laymen have responded to the call.
For more than a month the Anti-Sa1oon League
of America, whose general offices and publishing
plant are in this city, has been working Jointly with
the Anti-Sa1oon League of Illinois to prepare for the
special campaign of seven days, which will begin in
Illinois October II. A force of men have been en-
gagged in planning an itinerary, arranging dates and
furnishing literature and newspaper copy. Literally
tons of matter has been sent through the mails into
the Illinois towns and cities on the itinerary.
The purpose behind this campaign, as announced
by Anti-Saloon League men, is to put Illinois in
shape not only to vote out it's own saloons, but to vote
for the ratification of the amendment to the federal
constitution prohibiting the manufacture and sale of
liquor. Reports that have come in from Illinois in
dictate, League men say, an immense interest in the
League program. Of special interest is the propo-
sition to make America a Sahara for intoxicants, be-
cause many men feel that with such an ideal in view
the time is ripe for its realization.
Dr.. Russell in Campaign.
DR.. Howard H. Russell, of this city, who, twenty
one years ago, in Ober1in, Ohio, founded the Anti
Saloon League, is one of the speakers in the big
campaign for national Prohibition, which opens in
Illinois October II.
DR.. Russell has had a lot of experiences. When
he started the formation of the League he was met
with the objection that it was only one more of those
temperance societies. Then he was assailed by mem
bers of the Prohibition party, who declared that his
new organization would not only accomplish moth
ing, but would hinder the third party, the only or
ganization, as the party men said, that stood against
the saloon.
From other political parties there was opposi-
ton, too, for the League, in its practical operation,
always stood for the election of officials favorable to
the carrying out of its aims and policies, and against
candidates who were unfavorable In Democratic
circles it was charged with being a Republican aid
society, while among Republicans it was branded as
being a Democratic asset.
Even churchmen stood aloof from the Anti-Sa-
loon League, some of them being indifferent and
others openly hostile, and all of them expressing the
belief that the church was no place for politics. 1t
was a hard matter, for a year or two, to get oppor-

pink and green was used, the table
having for it's centerpiece a vase of
bridesmaids roses whose delicate shad-
ing was reflected in the mirror on
which it rested.
In the hall where punch was served
by Miss Lucy Twitty from a bowl en-
bedded in golden chrysanthemums a
combination of these lovely flowers
and ferns used with pretty effect.
Mrs. Phil Hunt, of Prospect, KY, a
cousin of the bride, as matron of honor,
entered the living room first; next
came the little flower girl, Mary Eliz-
abeth Hunt, daintily dressed - a
white lingeries frock and carrying a

ing them in the pathway of the bride,

the company and Mr.. Hawkins, when

PARIS, Nov. 16.-At the battle OF
Vailly which the Germans claim was
an overwhelming victory, and in which
the French really were obliged to fall
back, one French gunner is said to
have slain 600 Germans
The crew of this one gun had been
ordered back, but the gunner declar-
ed he would not abandon the piece
while any ammunition was left. Meth
odically, he emptied shell after shell
into the Germans who were moving up
in ranks abreast only half mile away
Closer and closer they came, firing
volleys as they advanced.
The gunner stood his ground and
still had a dozen shells left when the
Germans were not more than 300 yards
away. At this distance he is said to
have bowled them over like ninepins.
But nothing could stop them. He let
fly his last she'll at only so yards, and
did such awful execution that he was
able to remove the breech block and
make good his escape, notwithstand-
ing he had received a rife ball between
the ribs.
Hardened as they were to slaughted
some of those who witnessed the deed
turned sick and faint at the CHASTITY
sight of mangled Germans More than
600 were literally blown to pieces, il
is said, within 500 yards of the gnu.

CITY OF DREAMS.


/ have been to the city of dreams,
And l long to tell you of it
It's birds and flowers, its shadows and
CLEANS,
For, oh, how l love it, love it!
have been through the valleys that
Under the hills and over,
The tourmaline seas and the sapphire
sky.
I could not start in a merry day
To tell you all as l know it
The shadows and lights of fairy ray,
That rim and raiment and glow it!
But l have been to the magical town,
Over hills and up and down,
Travelling worn and weary!
And they gave me glimpse of the
kingless crown.
And sang me song SO cherry,
When 1 come back l shall tell, l said,
All who ask where the pathway led,
And I shall sing and | shall show,
How they shall find it who want to go;
But just last night as l though again
The truth shone brighton, my fellow
1t is not far and it is not strange,
The city of dreams, the city of change,
The city of lights and glow and beauty
Is here in the path of our daily duty.
Our sorrow and care, and cur bitter
and sweet,
1t is here right under our very feet,
And we seek it below and we seek it
above,
We shall find it alone by the light OF
love.
By the light of love, good people,
With its bubble and it's bloom,
And its purple room,
And it's chimes in a silver steeple.
