Some years ago in a village Of west ern New York on election morning the recognized village toper went to the polls. He asked for temperance bal lot, and liquor seller got him one, supposing a joke was at hand. Fold ing it as best he could with trembling hands, the blear-eyed, blOated-faced ragged. unkempt man went to the bal lot box and registered his wish. Then they began to scOff and sheer at the drunkard who had cast a temperance vote. "A pretty temperance voter you are." said one Why, if there was a bottle of whisky wonder there at the top of that liberty pole, and if you could have the whisky by climbing the pole at the risk of your life, you know you'd climb. And then the drunkard strengthened himself up as best he might and answered them. Know it!" he said, with trembling painful emphasis: Know it! Oh yes. l know it.

Righteous Indignation

Harold is a preachers son and has been trained in the old-fashioned way of memorizing Scripture verses, also to ask a blessing before meals. Not long ago, while at dinner, the old Ad- am arose within him in spite of his careful training and he was decidedly naughty. So much so that to punish him his mother took his plate and food over to little table in the cor ner where he had to sit by himself. The little fellow sat down with a re- bellious air, then, to the astonishment of all, folded his hands, bowed hiS head, and in a clear voice said:
