to the narrow veranda, where group
Of older men conversed in quiet tones
upon the affairs Of the Territory. Da-
vid stared at their yellow nankeen
trousers.
Harrison, the governor, who had
come from Vincennes to oversee his
spring planting, and had tarried for
the evening, was among the group.
He turned to a young man:
"Mr. Blackford," he said, 'I believe
that you have the distinction Of be-
ing graduated from the same college
which President Madison attended. I
myself was student ut Hampden-
Sidney college; but I remember hear
ing my father once say that, besides
the institution which was the first
born of all American colleges-his
own college of William and Mary
there was but one which a Virginian
might attend without doing violence
to his family traditions; he might, If
he had no soul, 60 to Harvard, or, II
he had no stomach. go to a nutmeg
institution at New Haven; but as n
virginian. and gentleman he would
go to Princeton"
Blackford laughed. He was a young
lawyer who had just arrived in the
territory, the first of the galaxy of
young men bred In the eastern col
leges who were to achieve distinction
in the new country. His face had at

there was something in the mans
fine, Straightforward look that drew
him like brother. And here was an
opportunity; he could now crafty
through Blackford an ambition he had
secretly nourished for some time, to
study law in the evenings. He was
gro ding restless with no greater oc-
cupation than measuring silk and cal
icuts over a store counter. And the
law would be step-one step at
least-toward Toinette.
"Have you ever met the president,

now those ancient houses Of the Old
Post-the Cardinals, the Andres, the
Burdaleaux, the Racines, the Lade-

dered down two by two in the mys-
hcal summer night, beneath the silent
stars, to the bank Of Indian creek,
hurrying by on its long way ito the
sea. A lonely youth stood in the
shadows and watched the white, glim-
mering shapes Of the maidens, each
with her backwoods cavalier, go by.
A pang Of envy shot through him as
he heard their light remarks and
lighter laughter. He was as young
and strong as they, he thought, wist-
fully. Was life always to withhold
some of its gifts from Kim?
Mr.. O'Bannon, strolling deep in rev.

lonely youth in the starlight and rec

pleasure.

And he dragged the reluctant youth

The gracious lady of the house re-
ceived him at the old mans introduc-

shyness; but he was acutely i'll at

Temperance
AN ExcRETIoN.
Conducted by the Nationalt Woman's
Christian Temperance Union.)

ALCOHOL AN ExcRETloN.
The origin Of alcohol is most signt-
fcant Of its character. |
1t Is an excretion Of the yeast plant,
thrown out because the plant has no
further use for it and its retention
would have a poisonous effect. Just as
the human body Is poisoned by an ac-
cumulation of waste matter, SO the
yeast plant is injured by its waste
product. When the alcohol has reached
n strength Of IA per cent 1t is suff-
ciently poisonous to the yeast plant to
stop all of its activities.
It Is an odd thing that any excre-
ton is poisonous to the living organ
ism which produces 1t and to all higher
forms of life. '-rhe eXcretion Of a
mammal might serve as food for some
of the lower vertebrates and certainly
for fungi and bacteria, but inevitably
has a toxic action upon any organism
of higher rank" says DR.. Winfield
Scott Hall, of Northwestern Medical
school, and he continues:
'"The, relation Of alcohol to life may
thus be summed: Q) Ethyl alcohol Is
the excretion Of a fungus; (2) excre-
tions which are toxic (poisonous) to
the organism which excretes them are
also toxic to all higher organisms; (3)
alcohol is toxic to the yeast plant and
In conformity to laboratory observa-
tions as well as to the logic Of the case
alcohol is toxic to all animal pro-
toplasm." ....
And the layman's conclusion would
probably be: ~The yeast plant, in
common with animals, first consumes
food and then decomposes 1t. Man
drinks the excreted decomposed food
of the yeast plant, called alcohol, and
naturally Is poisoned thereby"

DRINK AND WAR COMPARED.

In recent published statement DR..
c. w. Saleeby, F. R. G. S., r. F. s.,
one of the leading physicians of Great
Britain, says that every year alcohol
makes 45,445 widows and orphans In
England and Wales alone, or over 124
a day.
"The first year Of the great war;" he
says, "cost us about $4,000 lives Of our
soldiers and sailors. But during every
year of peace, alcohol takes at least
10000 lives in this country. On the
most moderate reckoning 1t is respons-
ible for one-sevenths or about IA per
cent, of the whole death rate. This toll
of over thousand lives week, year
in and year out, is three-fourths of the
toll exacted by the greatest war in his
tory" .'.- ...... ,

FAIR EXCHANGE.

A converted drunkard was walking
past a saloon In Scranton, Pa, one
night after be had "hit the trail' at
one of "Billy" Sundays meetings in
that city. 1t was place to which he
had formerly resorted and which had
taken much of his money for the dead
ly drink. The bartender stood in the
door and yelled after him: II suppose
you're one of those religious guys
who's given Billy his last cent and
had to walk homer
'dany's the time I've given you
my last cent and couldn't see to walk

SCAB WHISKY,

SCAB WHISKY.
(John F. Connelley, Labor Leader.)
Ninety-four per cent of the whisky
made in the United States is made by
the whisky trust. WHISKY is made by
nonunion labor, paid only $9.19 per
week according to the United States
bureau of census reports. The hours
Of labor range from ten to II per day.
Out of 500 paid for whisky at man
ufacturer's price only $2.08 goes back
to the wage earners who made the
whisky.
It costs only 12 cents to make gal
Ion of whisky.

would be unionized, it would be four
years before whisky made there could
be put on market unless 1t goes out
as rot-gut whisky.

all the scab and nonunion-made whisky
now in stock in United States.
