TEMPERANCE.
THE TRAMPING MAN.
How He Became a "llclter an.l More
Fortanatc Son."
"Mrs. Tracy" said Anna Maria the
cook "there's a tramping man coming
on the side veranda; would vou please
look if I am to give him dinner?" This
was Christmas day. Anna Maria smiled
covertly as she spoke. For one reason
or another Mrs. Tracy always con-
eluded that a tramping man was to have
hi diancr
On this "question Dr. and Mrs. Tracy
differed. "The Scripture is" j-aid the
doctor "if a man will not work neither
let him tat." Feeding these tramps q:-
courages vice and puts a premium on
idleness." "I'm afraid it .Iocs" said
Mrs. Tracv. "But there is a Scripture
which saw: "If thou draw out thy oul
to the hun"TV." The tramps may not
be as bad as wo thmk bin we are sure
Ihcv are hungry. I will lecture mem j
well on idleness for the sake of your
text and feed them for mine.
It was this which made Anna Maria
to smile privately as Mrs. Tracy wAit
out to "look at the tramp." She saw
a brawny fellow twenty-.s'.x or seven
his clothes worn and soiled his red faee
bespeaking intimate acquaintance with
dram shops.
He spoke civilly: "Would you give me
a piece of bread for my dinner?" Then
he took a good look at the large neat-
ly Kept back premises. "I'll pack you
f'oiic wood for it." "I can find you
tope food but there is no wood to
entry" said Mrs. Tracy and then she
Kiliiled coerily. for this wily tramp
had made sure that this house had no
wood pile.
Mrs. Tracy went into the pantry.
He: dinner would not be ready for an
hour to come. There was nothing hot
cooked. She was rather sorn for that
as this was Christmas day :i d t ln-
table in her hall was h -aped with pres-
ents. She took a large plate put cm it tin-
bread asked for a huge fresh piece a
cup. a knife and fork. Then she laid on
tne plate a large piece of cold roast
beef two big doughnuts and n slice ol
pumpkin pic. She thought that the pie
end doughnuts would "look like Christ-
mas to the tiamp."
Meanwhile the tram) stood outside

dishes with a "thank v on." No; he put
them down on a chair anil slouched off
around the house. .Mrs. Tracy was
on the front porch. She had just ac-
companied a friend to the gate. She
looked at the tramping man so kind-
ly that for the life of him he couldn't
help saying: "Thank .ve. mum for yer
dinner." "You're welcome to your din-

toward him over the bahtrade. "I

The secretary of the United Kingdom
allia: H-oi-doiO is seeking to prove
thai a total abstainer lives linger than
i person who ut-s alcoholic liquor. In
fine of his statements he says: Nearly
a quarter of a century ago Dr. William
Farr. who al that time was the medical
a- blar.t to the registrar geneial.wrote
:n f.dlovv .s: "The gi eat pending experi-
ment of tt-tal abstttnence by thousands

that men can live in health without al-
coholic liquors; but whether thtir lives

than the lives of their fellow mortals
the insurance olt'ces will find out. Ab-
stainers deserve to be watched atten-
tively by the physiological student."
t have been watching them very atten
tively nrd have found that ever since
the time when Dr. Farr wrote this pas-
sage evidence ha been rapidly accu-
mulating that total abstinence pro-
duces a highly beneficial effect on health
and life.
The following iiati-ties. the substan-
tial aeeinac-y of which is beyond all ra-
tional controversy are specimens of
this evidence: The Independent Order
of JjeehabiUs is a teetotal working-
man's benefit society. It has an adult
membership of 1 I2.1MHI and a juvenile
nuiuh.-rship of 7C.KI0. It has been in

perience a calculated by Mr. Nelson
the actuary shows that at I5 years of
age llechabites have an "expectancy"

to the registrar jreneral. the expectancy

the Hechabite liyurrs are accepted a
