The Woman’s Christian Temper-
ance Union has secured this space
and we are prepared to fill it weekly.
Kindly read at d thoughtfully pond-
er the principles expressed through
this medium.
The white, ribbon women are
quick-witted enough to see that
there is not in the world another
power where we oan bring to a focus
so much influence for the spread ut
temperance principles and temper-,
ance practices, as the newspapers,
for truly they go everywhere and
are read by everybody.
Mrs. Maude L. Greene, Chalk
Talker and Slate Organiser, recent-,
ly conducted a series of meetings in
Alice, which lead to the bind ng
together of a few earnest women
into a Union that will grow in pow
er and strength to befell throughout
this community.
The children have an enthusiastic
leader and are holding weekly meet-
ings of the Loyal Temperance Le-
gion. They are shouting*loudly:
“Whiskey and tobacco must go!”
Friday night Rev. John Carney,
temperance lecturer and prohibition-
ist, entertained and instructed a
large audienoe at the Methodist
church. His illustrations were most
effective, and he very deliberately
told the voter what he wae doing
every time be cast his ballot against
prohibition. It was a very forcible
presentation of the truth devoid of
all embellishments.
FOOT PRINTS OF ALCOHOL.
Employers find that those addict-
ed to the use of alcoholic beverages
are not te be depended on. Even if
they are always at their work the
characters of it suffers just in pro-
portion to their indulgence. Now
THE OBSERVING ROBIN.
I once observed a robin boring
for grubs in a country door yard. It
is common enough sight to witness

Badge: A knot of white ribbon. 0,16 drill for grubs and bring the big
white raotsel to the surlace. The
robin I am speaking ot had a nest
of young in a maple near by, and
®he worked the neighborhood very
industriously for food. She would
run along over the short grass after
the manner of robins, stopping every
few feet, her form stiff and erect.
Now and then she would suddenly
bend her head toward the ground
and bring eye or ear for a moment
to bear intently upon it. Then she
would spri*g to boring the turf vig-
orously with her bill, changing b»r
attitude at each stroke, alert and
watchful, throwing up ibe grass
roots and little jets of soil, stabbing
deeper and deeper, growing every
moment more and more excited, till
finally a fat grub was seized and
brought forth. Tims after time dur-
ing several days I saw her mine for
grubs in this way and drag them
forth. How did she know wh?re to
drill? The insect was in every case
an inch below the surface. Did she
hear it gnawing the roots of the
grasses or did she see a movement
in the turf beneath which the grub
was at work? I know not. I only
know that she truck her game uner-
ringly each time. Only twice did I
see her make a few thrusts and then
desist, as if she had beeu for the mo-
ment deceived.—John Burrrougbs

BEST COUGH MEDICINE FOR

A good American named Mi-
chael MacMahon,a St.Louis po-
liceman, who died there a few
days ago, was the sou and heir
of the late Baron Hugh Mac-
Mahon, owner of a large estate
in County Armah, Ireland. He
refused to take up the title aud
property, because before doing
so, he would have to swear alle-
giance to the English Crown.
His eldest son is of the same
