of 20,000 population, there Is not a
solitary saloon. In the past four
years there have been but three prls

wore boys Imprisoned for some minor
offense, nnd the general citizenship
of that county averages higher than
that of any other county In the state
The people of Shelby county have
been permitted to select their own
moral surroundings, and this Is the
result. Instead of a malicious law

In the hands of two and three men,
on county or city boards, the people

And weariness that old age brings,

Hut clip his wings.

When Love is part of yesterday,
You would not spurn him, dear, again,
