Intemperance Is a crownlwfc eorse. Its horrors have never been fully por­ trayed. No pencil is black enough to paint the picture, and do it full justice. No tongue Is eloquent enough to tell the sad story in all the dreadful de­ tail*. Drunkenness Is a wide and withering curse--blearing the eyes, blistering the tongue, deranging the •toiKKHi, paralysing the nerves, bard- talBg the liver, poisoning the blood, coagulating the brain, inducing and aggravating many diseases and dig­ ging myriads of premature graves. It la a financial curse, draining the pock­ et, Inviting poverty, diminishing eomforu, multiplying miseries, filling almhouses and creating hard times. It la'a mental course, clouding the ^idgment, dethroning the reason, pro­ moting ignorance, producing Imbe­ cility, land transforming its' victims Into maniacs and fools. It is a moral corse, weakening the will, inflaming the passions, hushing the voice of con­ science and preparing the way for every vice and crime. The attendant miseries of intemperance swarm like a locust plague. In the slimy trail of the etoehollc serpent you find everything that la dark and dreadful--everything that la regretful and ruinous. You find men without manhood, women with-: oat womanhood, age without solace.| and Infancy wltheut hope. You find' want and woe, rags and wretchedness, •qualor and filth, disease and death. You find broken vows, broken bones, broken fortunes, broken hearts. You llod bad manners and bad morals, bad .words and bad actions, bad reputations •ad bad characters, bad plans and bad performance*, bad parents and bad Children, a bad beginning and a. bad end. Sorely intemperance is the downing curse of American society. * , I ' Now havo ji full and complete lino of Such as Men's Shoe®, Ladies' Shoes, Children's* Shoes, Bab ' Shoes,Slippers^f '• * •< And in fact the finest, newest and most complete lino of foot* wear that money can buy.
