how, they had it in the old days, from

but the most systematic man- at the
game you ever saw. He used to set
aside, just so much money for this lit
tlo fun. If he was in luck he'd play
ahead, and sometimes cleared a stake,
but generally he didn't turn up well,
and when so much was gone he'd push
his chair back from the table and say
quietly, in always the same words: Ze

Then, if he didn't feel tired, he looked
on for a time before going home. He
never went over his limit on the ap
propriation. The fellows connecte
with the Russian legation then used to
come around nearly every day, some of
them playing bij. If they "didn't have
the cash it made no difference, for they
were just as good as old wheat. The

Spain was once, the most highly civil

("liven ionn s, were introduced .scores
if not !uiiid:cds of years betoro they
were adopted by what are now tho
leading cities of J'uropo. Tor many
years, however, Spain has been almost
the last place to which one would look
for experiments with new inventions
and the introduction of improved pub
lic woiks. It is worthy of note, there
fore, that Madrid has lighted one of its
public places or squares with the im
proved electric light that has been suc

depots in France, and lor the lighting
of a synagogue in Jlt-rlin. In Madrid
tho lights are contained' within six
globes of opal gas, a: ranged in two

Humphrey that way. He laid himself
out on piling his stack of chips up to

across any one who had a bigger soul
of honor about him than Thad. I used
to love him like a brother. He always
played blue chips, never got excited at
all, but took more solid comfort out of
it than inot any one I ever Baw. Poor
old Thad! I remember well when lie

It appears to the writer of that arti
cle " 1 hat the reforms sought are too
sweeping." Xow, if I understand the
temperance people of this city, they
seek to reform men who are drinkinr
men, and to prevent others from be
coming habituated to drink, and thus
save men from becoming physically
diseased with what Dr. Mil'er justly
calls the "itam disease." Is it too
sweeping an edn t when good and true
men and women labor to " raise the
fallen" an I to s tve others from fallini?
into tin's h abit, which brings only ruin ?
X: JI:it evidently the writer Lhinks
that by do.iig away with the saloon
and its eoueoaiiuitants, the temperance
people are making "too sweeping an
effort to accomplish lasting good-''
The wi iter is evidently in favor of "do
ing away with the saloons so far as
the liquor is concerned." In this w
all agree. Then he says, " that the
temperance work is generally spasmod
ic, and its effects, as regards the mass
es, are soon lost sight of." We reply
that to-day there is no question so uni
versally canvassed, written, and spok
en about, as this, except the question
of money, and it is rapidly gaining on
this important question, because it,
more than any other, relates to and af
fects the business prosperity of the
country. It istheqtiestion of finances,
of morals, of social life, yea, even of
the stability and prosperity of our gov
ernment. We are in the presence of a
disaster. It won't down. It raises its
threatenit.g hand and deman Is to live
on blood. It opens its voracious mouth
and swallows up life. It unlocks its
bottomless pit of absorpsion and en
gulfs millions of money and years of
valuable time; and tho people, states
men, merchants, editors and philan
thropists, are not afraid to speak
against it. Temperance will be come
not only the plank in the political
platform, but the platform of parties.
It ii coming to that it must be that;
for no set of thoughtful men can deny
its paramount importance in the com
mercial interests of the state.
The efforts of Mr. Finch were not
spasmodic. If so he had an unusually
protracted spasm, and it resulted in a
wonderful amount of substantial good.
