Thorn was laughter, song and Jest nnd much drinking. After awhile, dttink, Insnnely drunk, his money gone, ho was kicked Into the sttei't. He found his way aoros to his mother's home. He Impoi tuned her for mnue.v to buy more drink. She tefused hint. Ho seized from the side boaid a iciolver nhd ran out Into the street anil with the expressed determina tion of rntorlng the saloon and getting more drink, money or no money. Ills little inotlirr followed him Into the Ftreet. She put her hand upon him In a loving restraint. He struck It from him in nnger and then Ills sister came and added her entreaty In vain. And then a neigh bor, whom ho knew, trusted nnd re Hpected, came and put his hnnd on him lu gentleness and friendly kindness, but tn ii n Insanity of drunken rage be raised the rcoHer and shot his friend dead In his blood upon the Btreet. Thero was n tilal; he was found guilty of murder. He nus sentenced to life Impilsoriment and when the little mother heaid the veidlct a frail little bit of a woman she tluew up her hands nnd tell In n suoon. In thiee hours shu was dend. "fn the streets ot Kreeport. 111., a young man of good family became In volved in nv controversy with a lewd woman of Che town Hp went In a drunken frenzy to his father's home, armed himself with a deadly weapon nnd set foi th to the city In aeurch of the wom an with whom he had quarreled.

He was tried, and Judge t'Vuind, In sentencing him to life Imprisonment, anld: 'You are the seventh man under 23 ycuis of age In two years to be sen tenced for murder while Intoxicated. KILLUD HIS MOTIIKIt. "In tho city of Anderson, you lemcm ber tho tragedy In the Blake home. A young man came home Intoxicated, de manding money of his mother. She re fused It. He seized fiom tho wood box a hatchet and killed bis mother, and then robbed her. You remember he lied. Tho ofllcors of the law pursued him, brought him back. An Indictment w-ns read to him, charging him with tho mur der of tho mother who had given him his birth, of her who had gone down Into the valley of the shadow of death to give him life, of her who hnd looked down Into his blue eett and thanked God for his life. And he said, 'I am guilty.

"And say. my friends, New York tlty'a annual drink bill la 365,000.000 a year, $1,000,000 a day. Listen a minute! That Is four times the annual output of gold, and It Is at least one-third the value ot all the coal mined in the United States. And In some sections of New York there Is one saloon for every 30 families. The money spent In New York by the working people for drink In 10 years would buy every workingman In New York a beau tiful home and ullow 33300 for house and lot. New York's annual drink bill would buy 73.000,000 barrels of Hour, nearly a barrel for every man and woman In the United States. It would take 60 people one year to count the money In SI bills, and they would cover 10,000 acres of ground. That Is what the people In New York dump Into the whisky hole In one year. And then you wonder why there Is poverty and crime, and that the coun try Is not more prosperous. SAYS CIRCULAIt IS FALSE. "This gang Is circulating a circular about Kansas City. Kan. I defy you to prove a statement In It. Listen ICansas City Is a town of 100,000 population, and temperapce went Into effect July , 1905. They then bad 230 saloons, 200 gambling hells and 60 disorderly houses. The popu. latlon was largely foreign, and Inquiries have rome from Germany. Sweden and Norway, asking the Innuence of the en forcement of the prohibitory law, "At the end of one year tho president of one of the largest banks In that city, a man who had protested against tho en forcement of the prohibitory law on the ground that it would hurt business, found that at tho end of one year his bank de posits had Increased 11,700,000 and 72 per cent, of the deposits were from mtn who had never saved a cent before, and 42 per cent, came from men who never had a dollar In the bank, but because the saloons were driven out they had a chance to save, and the people who ob jected on the grounds that It would In jure business fqund an increase of 200 per cent.

They don't do It Mr. Whisky Man, why don't you go down and take a picture of wrecked and blight ed homes and of Insane asylums, with gibbering Idiots that it cost 16.000,000 to support?

WHO WOItKS HARDEST? "Who works the hardest for his money, the saloon man or you? "Who has the most money Sunday morning, the saloon man or you? "Do you know of anybody that died young because he didn't hit the booze? The saloon comes as near being a rat hole for a wage-earner to dump his wages In as anything you can And. The only merest It pays Is red eyes and foul breath and the loss of your health. You go In with money and you come out with empty pockets. You go in with character and you come out ruined. You go In with a good position and you lose It. ou lose your position In the bank or in the cab of the locomotive. And it pays nothing back but disease and dam nation and gives an extra dividend in delirium tremens and a free pass to hell And then it will let your wife be burled In the potter's Held, and your children go to the asylum, and yet you walk out and say the saloon is a good Institution when It Is tho dirtiest thing on earth. It hasn't one leg to stand on and lias nothing to commend It to a decent man not one thing. ' " 'But.' you say. we will regulate it by high license.' Regulate what by high license? You might as well try and regu late a powder mill In hell. Do you want to pay taxes In boys, or dirty money? A man that will sell out to that dirty business I have no use for. See how absurd their arguments are. If you drink bourbon In a saloon that pays 11000 a year license, will it eat your stomach less than If you drink it In a .saloon that pays 500 license? Is It going to have any different effect on you. whether the gang pays 8500 or J1000 license? No. It wilt make no difference whether you drink It over a mahogany counter or a pine counter-It will baye the same effect on you; It will damn you. So there is po use talking about It.

What ever may be the theory of super natural intervention and the accept ance of a proffered pardon. It is plainly manifest to all that It is only the kind deed and the pure thought and the love-life that Impart to us power and peace. The only salva tion that saves Is that which is based upon the development of char acter by the wise choice of the rJuht action.
