The following poem wa3 written for the.W. C. T. U. enter
tainment given at the A. O. U. W. hall on December 4, 1908, and
read to a large and appreciative audience by the author, Miss Dulcia
Frater. We, the members of the W. C. T. U., wish to say that
every word of it is true, that we believe that every town or city that
tries Louisville's plan will Join with her in saying that It is far bet
ter, both financially and morally, and we believe our voters will see
to It that Louisville stays dry. Will other papers please copy.
TKMl'EKAXCE IX LOUISVILLE.
A great deal of the product of the still
Was once dispensed In Louisville.
Street scenes were vile and rough.
Loafers on the corners, most always tough;
A lady passing down the street,
Many drunken men had to meet.
The unscreened doors disclosed
Men seated at tables, at cards disposed.
Some lounging and tippling, night and day,
An offense to all who passed that way.
Our boys learned to gaze without surprise,
At scenes not fit for youthful eyes.
The things they witnessed upon the street,
To their friends they hastened to repeat,
Then sought a convenient and secluded lot,
And practiced these things upon the spot,
And the boy who could' not hold his own,
The others, his friendship would disown.
To smoke, to swear, to drink, to chew,
These were the things they learned to do.
Unknown to those to whom they were dear,
But well known to others far and near.
In lying and deceiving they also were wise,
Though they seemed dear Innocents in their mother's eyes.
But therre came a time when all was revealed,
Misdemeanors could no longer be concealed;
And, though dad scolded, and mother shed tears,
Convinced not their youth of tender years..
They considered dad a fogy, and mother a dear,
While as for themselves there was nothing to fear.
Then we elected a board on election day,
And an ordinance was passed without delay,
That every saloon must close up tight Its door
And keep It closed for ever more.
Drunken brawls and hoodlums our streets must disappear
That our children become not Imbibers of ale and beer. . . '
And so many Louisville families rejoice today,
That father now brings home his pay,
That he walks the streets with head held high
And greets his friends as he passes them by
With the old fearless manhood as of yore,
E'er he had entered a bar room door
There is food In the pantry, store room and cave,
Everyone Is happy and helping to save,
To pay off the debt as fast as they can,
On the house they bought on the installment plan;
And though cold winds may blow and tempests roar,
The wolf troubles no more that house door.
mendous force. The calf of the left
leg was torn away, the right leg badly
cut by splinters of wood and pieces of
tin, and the right arm badly lacer
ated. He is In a critical condition.
Physicians were at once called and
the wounds dressed. Such was the
force of the explosion that the win
dows on two sides of the house were
completely shattered and doors
thrown from their places. The shock
was felt for a distance of half a mile
from the scene. Mr. Carter stood but
a few feet away. He was thrown to
the ground and his face cut by fly
ing splinters. Mrs. Carter was at
the well about fifteen feet away but
was uninjured. Friends are giving
such assistance as they can. Mr,
Carter is about twenty-two years old.

King Hill, Jan. 6, 1909.
Mr. Editor: The Bucks in the

your paper did not give an account
of the Christmas entertainment at
Rock Bluffs. We think it should be
mentioned In the best paper In the

Miss Nettle Smith, the Queen of

Work on the undergrade crossing
of the Burlington at the foot of Main
street is progressing as well as could
be expected, considering the unfav
orauio circumstances which sur
round the workers. Some time since
the presence of a large spring under
the ground was spoken of and this
spring Is giving the workmen no end
of trouble. It has broken out afresh
and as a result, the men are compel
led to wade about In a mixture of
water and dirt bIx or eight inches In
depth. This is not very pleasant
weather to have to handle such
mess but it must be done. This is
one of the things which are holding
the work back. This morning teams
with slip scrapers were engaged try
ing to get ooze out of the hole but
were not succeeding very fast. This
puddle Is at the bottom of the exca
vatlon where the floor of the crossing
Is to go and there will doubtless
have to be piling driven there to af
ford a foundation. On the incline to
the crossing the ground is frozen and
this has to be chopped out with axes,
making this part of the work slow
and tedious. On the whole the work
men are doing the best they can with
conditions as they are. It had been
hoped to have the work done before
teams began . crossing the tracks,
hauling Ice this winter but .this is
now manifestly impossible. Ice haul
ing has begun and the crossing Is
very far from completion. With so
many working around the crossing,
however, there is little llkllhood of a
team being caught on it, however.
From present Indications It will be
several months before the work. Is
finished. It must be said for the
Burlington that they are doing a good
ob and the concrete which is being
put into the place Is of high grade
and will stand the test of time. The
true value of this crossing will pot
fully be realized by the people of this
city until It is finished and In opera
tion.. It Is valuable to the railroad
company but more so to the people of
the city who have been risking their
lives and property over it for many
years.

A Close Shave.
A funny Incident . occurred this
morning at the depot before the
crowd which was waiting for No. 19
to leave. . As la usual No, 6 had
come In and done Its work at the
depot, backing up In the yards for
19 to clear. No. 19 ran past the
crossing and the dopot and onto the
westbound main track to let No.
out. One of the men engaged in
scraping the mud from the new cross
Ing bclloved that he had plenty of
time after No, 6 pasBcd to cross the
tracks before No. 19 backed up. He
got along all right until he reached
the track wheu his scraper caught In
the rail. As No. 19 was backing up
at a pretty good gait, the driver be
canio alarmed for his horses which
were standing on the track and began
shouting and dancing around them
llko a real live, red man. Fortu
nately ono of tho men working on the
crossing saw his predicament and
running to his aid, dumped the
scraper, letting the team clear the
train. It was really a close shav
for both the man and the team, but It
was funny nevertheless.
Alleged Insane Man Mostly Troubled
By Tremens
Geo. Bueltcon, the alleged Insane
man. whom Sheriff Quinton appre
hended a few days since at Geo,
Hlld'B west of the city, has been
languishing In Jail ever since. Sher
iff Quinton got into communication
with his relatives, he having a broth
er at a small town out In the state,,
and found that the real trouble with
the man-was an excess of John Bar
leycorn. His brother telephoned the
sheriff that he did not care to do
anything with him as he had at vari
ous times, done everything In his
power to break him of the booze habit
but without success, and he asked the
sheriff to send him to the Asylum
where he could be Keeieyized. As the
man was not a resident of the county,
the sheriff replied that would not be
done as the county did not care to
take the expense upon Itself which,
that meant. The brother told him
to let Buelteon lie In jail until he
sobered up and came to. He said
that drinking had always affected
George that way, he never could un
derstand it, but it was a fact that
after a prolonged drinking bout
George always saw things and had
fits and he had usually come out
all right after the its wore off. II
was at a loss to know why It was but
this was always so. In view of tk
brother's statement , the sheriff
decided , to, let., the gentleman
occupy a couch 'in the Hotel de Man-
speaker until such a time as his de
lusions bad vanished. It might be
added that George the other evening
became cbsessed of the Idea that
was a man In thetsgotGeotbteSraher
there was a man In the stovepipe, and
that he needed help. To aid the un
fortunate George tore the pipe dowa.
He was eventually convinced that his
Idea was wrong but It required some
hard talk.

words, the country merchants found
out that tho mall order houses could
