Menace to the Boy.
“I am not afraid of the blind
tiger for my boy or myself, but of
the tiger that can see—the tiger
that stands on every prominent
oorner with bright lights that blink
at me. Young men do not begin
the drink habit in the blind tigers.
They begin to drink at mahogany
tables in the high class beer gar
dens and restaurants, where they
serve nice little drinks with fruit
sticking around them. When you
took our slaves away from us we
suffered, but we thank you for it
today. We thought we had aright
to decide that question for our
selves, but you said we could not.
Now when we want to destroy the
saloon curse, you will yell ‘states
rights’ at us ’’—From the speech of
Congressman Garrett, of Texas, in
behalf of the Hobson resolution.
How about that, case of “blues”
that you are suffering with? Drink
Chero Cola and get rid of it.

“puffs” in his paper must pay for
them, and has established the fol

inent divine, 60 cents. Sending a
doughty sinner to heaven, $5 00.
