1897 published io pittsburg pa we clip the following given as the words of an efficsr oi tbe liquor league of ohio at a meeting in which tbo interests of the saloon business were being dtsonbsed it will appear from those fact gontle- med that the buooeas of our business is dependent largely upon tbo creation of appetite for drink men who driuk liquor like others will die and if tbere is no new appetite created our oon ut era will be empty as will be oar coffers our ohildren will go hungry or we must obango our business to that of some other more remunerative tbe open field for the creation of this appetite is among the boys after men have grown and tbilr habits aro formed they rarely ever change in this regard it will be needful therefore that missionary work be done among the boys and i make tbe suggestion gentlemen that qiokela ex- pend in tr to the boys now will return in dollars to your tills after tbeappotite has been formed above all things create appetite 1 bach a statement seems absolutely fiend ish and yet whether spoken or unspoken the fact remains that tbe trafflo exists only by recruits from among the boys want ed a hundred thousand boys must bo tbe constant motto

tbo stranger had just left his home with the insane purpose of killing the first man ho met he was the first man but hia absolute court eay hid pat tbe man off hisguid and the next passerby had caught tbe bullet intended for him that smile and bow bad saved his life when the country was a century jounger anj the indian was yet in the land a gentle njfn apon the then frontier was hunting with friends got separated from and completely loat bis way every effort to retrace his steps led him still farther into the wilderness and night overtook him in a dense forest overcome with fatigue he lay down nnder a tree and slept pro- qundiyinthejnorning ho awokawith a start with tbat indegoribible feeling as though some one was looking at biro and glanoiog up he saw that he was surround ed by bostilo indians and tbat the leader ot the band m war paint and feathers was bendiog ovor him in no atmablo mood he took in tho situation at a glance know his immediate danger and had no means of averting it neither did he understand a word ot their language but be was self possessed kbew the universal language of nature and believed tbat even under war punt and feathers a mans a man for a that he fixed hiii olear bold eyes on the indian and smiled gradually the fierceness paesod away from the eyes above him and at last an answer ing emile came over tbe faee both were men both were brothers and he was saved the savage took him under bis protec tion brought him to a wigwam and after a few days restored him to his friends courage self command and taot had gained the day no monopoly of happimess taken altogether all our lives are about tbe same and the older we get the sorer wo are if wo scrutinize oar barroandings that tbe world was not shaped to make anybody great or anybody small or anybody very nob or anyone very poor we mis- lod ourselves by miojudmg greatness and smallnesi and richness and poverty it is beyond the possibility of any man or woman to acquire more happiness than his or her neighbor it is quite possible to acquire greater possessions more eminent positloas more apparent reasons for pride and baaghtyness bnt sotnsl happiness is the only thing that god seems to have made it impossible for anyone to monopolize happiness in about all tbere is in hfo and when we find this one feature given as generally to the poor aa well as to tbo rioh to the small as to tbo great it seems as if the oreator had been much fairer to ob than ha has been generally esteemad to havqbeen it in q trim tr nnm families a largo n urn ber of children aro born and all grow up some good some bad but the parents of those children are not happier in tbe possibilities ot the strength of their offspring than the father and mother of the sickly babe who nourish it from feeble childhood to adoleeoonso the happiness ib in the parents not in the children tbo joy is in taking care of the child no in the ohlld taking care ot the parent all tbe stings of poverty amount to nothing they cannot wound when the heart is sound all the pride of prosperity cannot satisfy if tho heart fa sore the beauties of life are found in aaorlticos mudo not in tho mpney acquired and if wo oould only learn these things when we are ybang how much more we would straggle for tho real beauties ot life the real joys and the real pleasures than for the false and delerlous triumphs
