-yy'-UAT MAKES DRUNKARDS? By JOHN B. FINCH. What makes drunkards? A liquor man exclaims. “Shouting!” Yes, sir, that is one of tlio principal reasons. Poets and novelists of old have thrown around rthe custom of drinking to each other’s health a tempting sheen of romance. BREAK UP THE LICENSED BAR, AND WHERE IS YOUR SHOUTING? Where will liquor ho sold? In a drug store? Notice a man shouting in a drug store. He looks up and down the street, and then sneaks in behind the prescription case to get a drink. Is not that romantic? But they suy it will bo sold an cellars. Yes! A man will sneak through an alley-way, down a back stairway, into a cellar, where there is a keg of whisky. He finds a tin cup rusty with the saliva of other men who have drunk from it. Is not tint a higlntoned way of drinking? Will it tempt and make drunkards of tlio boys? Another says, “They will carry it in bottles.” Yes; but treating with bottles is not specially romantic. A mink of the eye leads one into a stall in a barn or around behind some building out of eight, where tho bottle is drawn from tho pocket and passed oVer to tho friend. He takes a drink and passes it back- to tlio owner, who takes a suck off tho same nose. Now, is not that tempting, especially if one drinker chows tobacco and the other does not? No. gentlemen, WHEN YOU HAVE BROKEN DOWN THE LIGHTED BAR. WHEN YOU OUTLA AV THIS TRADE, AVHEN YOU DRIVE TT INTO HOLES—OLD RUMMERS MAY GET IT, BUT THE ROYS OE TFTS COUNTRY. RITfUTT. AND REAVE, AND MVYT.V, AVTT.T, NEVER. 'RNEATC \ ETYRR omrETHTNO EOR AVHICH THEY have NOT LEARNED TO •HARE. S-j:,I a leading statesman of Mi'ne. “0,1,1 hummers of Maine kept on drinking, but we liave a ■generation of T»o-rs alio have grown up since +he Mnine law, who know nothing of the use of liquor.” _ Close *lie public houses, and shouting is dead, and the boys are safe.
