As for Judge Cahoots, who inspired
the boycott and set the crushing ma

( anions. after the fatigues of
war. a- resting on a charming island.
There was a beautiful valley on this
island, and in the center of the val
ley there was a magnificent palace.
It was built of snow white marble
in a grove of lofty trees There
were green lawn.'* and llowery-bor
dered walks leading up to tin- beau
tiful mansion. The blue smoke
curled up from the chimney>. giving
promise to \u lcoine and banquets.
A number »{ the companion- of
Ulysses wert up to this attractive
pa'ace. entei• d the loor. and found
a lovely reception room adorne 1
with picture-. They were entei
tained with cl.aiming music. odors
of delicious perfume. and rich ban
quets. A fascinating lady named
Circe, an enchantress, came into the
room and welcomed them with
words sweeter than honey. They
roamed thn ugh the airy halls of
this splendid palace, feasted on
dainty meat.-, and drank sniced
wines They rolled in ease and lux
ury. drand freely and gormandized.
Suddenly the enchant! ess waved
over them her wand, and they ware
converted from men into grunting
hogs. Jiecoming hogs they were
driven from the beantitul place into
the back \ard. }>ut in pens, and fed
on the food of swine.

The palace of Circe is the modern
saloon, which men make attractive
with pictures, music, banquets, to
draw young men under its fascina
ting power. Liquor sellers are now
making their saloons beautiful with
ornaments, cheerful with music and
jovial company, and fascinating with
brilliant lights. So young men, are
charmed into such places as the lly
into the gauze net-work of the spi
der. They go there and drink, and
continue drinking until they lose
all respectability, lose their money,
lose thier conscience, and then they
are changed into hogs and driven
out at the back door.
The thousands of saloons, dotting
this continent from sea to sea, are
performing the deadly and diaboli
cal work ol changing men into ani
mal- u >: .- t haii hogs. They are

future, who. alas! fall into the habit
of frequenting the saloons where the
enchantress of the intoxicating glass
changes them into beasts. Soon the
bright look fades out of their faces,
the vacant stare takes its place, and
they become idiotic fools —dying in
a lit of delirium tremens. Young
man. beware of the saloon. The
way of absolute safety is the pledge
of total abstinence.- II C. Advocate.
