A German woman recently said: "You temperance ladies think you know about the evils of intemperance. Could you see what my eyes have seen, and what I have known of my own knowledge in these things, you might talk. The half has never been told. Oh! the brutes that beer makes of men! How their wives run from them and hide themselves! how the children that have been born are idiots and deformed! how women have learned to drink, and were so subjugated by the habit they felt their souls were lost! I have seen a decent, respectable woman counting her beads, saying her prayers, but the picture of despair. "Haven't I told you, Annie" (her eldest daughter), "that if we could vote, we women, we would soon put a stop to these things?" —Union Signal.
