Why IhEY CELL II.

Saloonkeepers do not sell the drug
alcohol to a man simply for the sake
Of destroying him. They give him
what Injuries him because they think
that Is the way by which they can get
his money. They do not desire, on
their own account, to ruin his charac-
ter, take away his property, break his
wife's heart, and beggar and starve his
children. Their object IL only to get
the mans money, and they do these
things because that seems the shortest
way. Yet 1t is the price Of blood.

in constant touch with him
Today he stands out amongst my

At a time when my brother Off

were making the greatest sacrifice
a man can make. he was taken
away from US, and more strong
men shed tears for him than it
was possible to believe.
Never In my constant association
with him did I ever see anything
that / could not admire about him.
and assure you that the boys Of
Company Il, TO whom he had en- 4
deared himself, always felt as
though the Lieutenant belonged TO
us.
