—— —-r A deep meaning resides in old customs.- S' hiller. f \ temperance orator was in the habit of holding forth in a workman's hall and was constantly being interrupted, so he engaged a prize fighter to sit in the gallery and keep 5,-der. He was contrasting the clean content of home life with the squalor of drunkenness. "'What do we want when we return from our daily toil?" he risked. "What do we desire to ease our burdens, to gladden our hearts, firing smiles to our lips and joy ~yes?" As the orator paused breath the prize-fighter shook his Ist at the unruly members of the gallery, and whispered, in a loud undertone, "Mind, the first bloke as nays 'beer,' I'll throw outside."
