The Whisky Devil's Joke.
There was a state election in
Vermont Sept. 2. There was no
election of a governor, however,
no candidate receiving a majority
of the votes cast. There were two
Republican candidates, both of
whom were in favor of high license
and the repeal of the laws provid
ing for the prohibition of the li
quor traffic. The saddest result of
the campaign, however, was notrelief
the failure to elect a governor, but
the collapse of Rev. Sam Small.
Mr. Small, who, in the days of his
most active work as an evangelist,
was a bitter foe of liquor and an
ardent advocate of the prohibition
of the liquor traffic, was employed
to speak in favor of the license
candidate and against prohibition.
Before he began his first speech he
drank some liquor, as a medicine,
his friends say, and before he had
been speaking fifteen minutes he
collapsed and was removed from
the platforma victim of the curse
which he was aiding by his speech
in its dreadful work of moral,
spiritual and physical death.
Under the caption, "The whisky
devil's very good joke," the Chi
cago Daily American, in its lead
ing editorial, Sept. 9, says:
The hearts of many will go out
in sympathy for Mr." Small. Only
those who have been victims of
the terrible appetite for drink can
know how awful was his temta
tion. The papers declare that his
usefulness is at an end. This need
not be. His fall is no worse than
John B. Gough, who afterward
was one of the most vehement and
effective foes of intemperance.
Sam Small should be aided to re
gain his former positionand he
should abandon politics forever
and give his life to efforts to de
stroy the traffic which caused his
downfall.Christian Advocate.
You will remember the policeman
who killed his wife and afterward said,
full of remorse:
"It was the devil's joke. Whisky
did it. She was the best woman that
ever lived."
The devil's whisky jokes did not
stop at this policeman's crime or be
gin with it.
That series of jokes is as old as man's
discovery of the fact that it is possible,
by fermentation, to exiract murder
and insanity from grain.
Rev. Sam Small for many years has
made a specialty of lecturing in favor
of temperance.
Recently he appeared in Vermont,
endeavored to speak, collapsed on the
platform and afterward confessed: "I
was drunk."
This was considered an excellent
joke by many. It was thought very
funny and amusing that a clergyman
who had all his life been preaching
against drink should appear drunk be
fore a gathering of temperate, earnest
men and women.
It was a good jokeof the whisky
devil's kind.
But in the humiliation of this un
fortunate man and in the distress of
his audience there was a lesson for a
great many other, men, as well as a
good whisky devil's joke.
In the plight of the drunken clergy
man there was no reason for humilia
tion on the part of those who advocate
temperance. On the contrary, there
is double proof of the need of such
preaching as theirs.
If whisky is strong enough to win
such a victoryif whisky can bring so
good a joke to a successful climaxit
shows the power that resides in whisky
and its hold over human beings.
There have been few better whisky
jokes than the collaose of Rev. Sam
Smallthere have been no more
powerful temperance sermons than
that same collapse of a man helpless
to resist when he knew so well the in
evitable result.
TEMPERANCE NOTES.
In one Pensylvania county in a
single year 817,000,000 was spent
for liquor, and it was estimated
that $11,000,000 of the amount
came from the workingmen.
Temberance agitation is more
active in Great Britain just now,
it is said, than in America. Earl
Roberts comes before the public
with a renewed appeal that the re
turning soldiers should not be led
into drunkenness by treating. Dr.
Henry, the American speaker and
organizer who began work in
England a year ago, reports grati
fying results, especially in Scot
land, where drink brings a degra
dation hardly heard of elsewhere.
The ordinance drafted for the
government of Zion City, founded
by John Alexander Dowie, near
Waukegan, 111., prohibits drink
ing, smoking, profanity, gambling
in any form, impure literature, ex
pectoration in public, and all un
necessary or harmful noises.
A Sunday closing campaign is
on at Bay City, Mich.
The Anti-Saloon League, of
Oklahoma City, Okla., is making
war on slot machines and Sunday
saloons.
The city council of Butte,
Mont., has passed an ordinance
prohibiting all pool-selling in the
city in poolrooms, as well as pool
selling at the race track.
Owing to repeated violations of
the city ordinances relative to sell
ing liquor to minors and closing
hours, license has been refused to
five of the most prominent saloons
in Mattoon, 111., and the council
onty allowed several others by
narrow margins. An ordinance
was introduced in the council
doubling the license fee.

MR. EDITORAllow me to speak a
few words in favor of Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy. I suffered for three
years with the bronchitis and could
not sleep at nights. I tried several
doctors and various patent medicines,
but could get nothing to give me any
until my wife got a bottle of this
valuable medicine, which has com
pletely relieved me.W. S. Brockman,

NAVAL OFFICER SUICIDES.
Lieutenant Commander Bronaugh
Kills Himself on the Kearsarge.
New York, Oct. 1.Lieutenant Com
mander William V. Bronaugh of the
United States navy committed sui
cide during the day on the battleship
Kearsarge at the navy yard by blow
ing out his brains with a revolver.
Friends of Commander Bronaugh be
lieve that he was very much worried
over the manifold duties of his posi
tion as executive officer, which are
considered to be more arduous than
those of any other position of rank in
the navy. Commander Bronaugh wos
born in Kentucky and entered the
naval academy in 1873.
GAS GETS TURNED ON.
Indications Point to Attempted Sui
cide of Ex-Senator Thurston's Son.
St. Louis, Oct. 1.Clarence Thurs
ton, a son of former United States
Senator Thurston ot Nebraska and an
attache of the world's fair offices in
St. Louis, was found unconscious from
asphyxiation in his apartments at a
hotel during the night.
The door ot his room was tightly
closed, the keyhole plugged, the win
dows bolted and the gas jets open, in
dicating an attempt at suicide.
He was taken to the city hospital.
The physicians say he may die.
Freight Trains in Collision.
Ardmore, I. T.t Oct 1.A head end
collision by two Santa Fe freight
trains near Thackerville resulted in
Fh'eman C. W. Lythe being killed and
one of the engineers, whose name
could not be learned, being seriously
hurt. The cause of the accident could
not be learned.
Coal Strike Causes a Suicide.
New York, Oct. 1.In financial
difficulty as a result of the coal strike
Henry C. Scheel, a coal merchant of
this city, tried to kill himself by shoot
ing. The doctors say there is little
hope for him.
It is reported that Charley Carnegie,
the twelve-year-old nephew of the mil
lionaire, has just lost his position in
the Pittsburg postofiice because he led
the other boys on a strike. At first
sight this seems a humorous occur
rence, but it should be remembered
that had the great dispenser of mil
lions, who has declared that it is a dis
grace to die rich, done his full fra
ternal duty his child nephew would
probably be in school or enjoying a
summer vacation and not in a position
to take part in a strike.
With the blare of trumpets, the
thunder of artillery and loud boastings
that the north pole would soon be
used for firewood, the Baldwin-Zie
gler expedition sailed for the frozen
north. Now it has returned, not hav
ing come within sighting distance of
the traditional Irishman who is said
to^be sitting on the pole.
