According to an investigation made by Miss Maria C. Brehm, temperance worker who is lecturing: in this state at present, the licensed saloons of the Unit- ed States, granting that each has an average frontage of 22 2 feet, set side by side, would Peach from Chicago to New York City, a distance of 800 miles. As a result of those saloons $1,500,000,000 is spent for liquors yearly, 2,000,000 men, boys and women are made drunkards and an army of women and children are stripped of their raiment. In addition to the above there were other ravages committed by the rum traffic last year in the United States, of which the statistics are as follows: Two thousand five hundred babes were smothered by drunken mothers. Three thousand and thirty-nin- e i i j i iI1USwives inuiucreu u.. uy uruimen i i. dim.--; i Seven thousand and nineteen other murders were committed by drunken fiends. Five thousand drunkards committed suicide. Forty thousand mothers were left widows and unprovided for by men who died drunkards. Four hundred thousand children were left orphans and unprovided for. Sixty thousand girls went wrong as a result of the wine room and laloon. One hundred thousand drinkers and their offspring were sent to the insane asylums. One hundred thousand were lodged in jail as result of liquor. Three hundred thousand made paupers for the public to support. Is not the above a sufficient reason for everybody to shun strong drink and join in the work for the suppression of intemperance.

Many a young man's life is gilded by bright dreams that come in the early stage of the game, but later on he finds that these dreams are only empty, and (), how little is the change when it comes. Ninety-eigyears ago last Tuesday there was born in a lowly cabin in Kentucky a man whose name stands today on an equal plane with any contemporary in the world.
