He reasons it out that when this
traffic ceases and this enormous out
i a y 0 f money is turned info the le
githnatc channels of trade, manu¬
facturing and commerce, people
will have money enough for every
thing; every .man will be sober,
honest and industrious and the mil
lenium will be at hand. His eyes
brighten at this prospect and he
says it must all be accomplished by
the end of this century, so that in
1900 the United States and the hu¬
man race in general may start upon
an era of progress and prosperity,
the magnitude of which can now
scarcely be dreamed of.—Atlanta

Prohibition army ere they have
reached their majority.
If Mr. Demorest never did an¬
other thing to uplift and help his
fellow man, surely the pearly gates
will stand ajar for his joyful en¬
trance and^the largest and bright¬
est star that can be plucked from
the etherial dome will adorn his
crown for this one act!
An Interesting Man
One of the inost interesting men
in America is at the Kimball.
Wherever the cause of prohibi¬
tion is preached, tiie name of W.
Jennings Demurest is known and
lis £jimc is heralded, His earnest,
lonest, unceasing labors for the
cause he loves best have made him
one of the unique figures in the af¬
fairs of today. He is a prohihi
tionist in all that the name implies,
one who has demonstrated his earn¬
estness by giving most liberally of
his money to aid the cause.
Mr. Demorest is rather patri¬
archal in appearance,the white hair
and beard serving as a setting for
a face, full of intelligence and fire.
He not only talks for prohibition,
but lie gives Iris money to further
it and gives most liberally. -
The Demorest medals have been
r.ad of by all newspaper readers.
Mi DciiiuicSt offers i Until tin
prizes for declamation, lie furnish¬
ing the matter to be, memorized
and spoken-it \t, of course, on the
subject of pjphibition.- There are
several grad first silver medal,
then the sn(aU gold medal then
the larger gold medal and then the
diamond medal.
*‘My reason forgiving these med¬
als,” said he, “is that I may reach
vs many people us possible with
the matter which I give therh to
ipeak. The reason the liquor traf¬
fic exists is because the people are
ignorant of the evils attending it.”
To say that Mr, Demorest is an
enthusiast is putting it mildly, he
is literally on fire. He has at his
command, which he uses with rap¬
id volubility in his conversation, a
great mass of figures. He stales
for instance, that in 1862, 1,000,000
barrels of beer were consumed in
the United States; the next year
another million was added to this
iniount und so on, millions have
been added until lust year there
were consumed in the United States
35,000,000 barrels of beer. Using
’he estimate that our population is
oo,oco,ooo, he figures that more
than half a barrel of beer was taken
by every man, woman /Rid child
n the United States; leaving out
the woman and children and a$y
half the men who do not drink,
and the beer drinkers took three
barrels a piece for their portion.

queer that a set of men supposed to
