THE DEED OF GIFT.

the DEED OF GIFT.
Archbishop Ireland tells the follow
ing story of a total abstinence pledge
that had a fixed economic value:
Il was strolling on a summer eve
ming along one Of the streets in the
upper town of St. Paul, Minnesota. The
figure of a friend OF mine was seen
hammering piece Of wood in front Of
newly built cottage. l approached
with the salute: Well. Patrick. what
are you doing here? Industrying.'
answered he, putting some last
touches to this house OF mine This
house OF yours?' replied. Have you
had the money to pay for this fine
building?' Yes. indeed. this house is
paid for and SO is the next house mine
also: one to live IN, the other to be
rented to some neighbor. My wonder
grew. Why, how is this. Patrick?
remember well when you had very
little money. So do l remember re-
piled Patrick. but l have found the
money. You, Father Ireland, gave 1t
to me. Still more did my wonder
grow. Come inside. continued Pat

quick pace. | was upstairs in Patricks

wall above the bed. nicely framed was
the document, 1 promise TO abstain
during my lifetime from all intoxicat-
ing drinks. Signed, Patrick -. Wit
messed, John Ireland. The mystery Of
the two houses, the property of Pat
rick. was explained. With gladsome
hand saluted him; with warm heart
l prayed for further success to the
cause of total abstinence.

penses of the state for December,
1914, and January, February and

about $15O,O00 less than in 1912. but
the saving to the state is only $4,000.
This item is found in the expense OF

which was $4,000 less than two years
previous. The present appropriation
measure does not carry a defense

needed to protect Colorado's water

states.
