Trinadad, Colorado, Feb. 28, 1901.—­Dear Carrie Nation:—­Go on save all you can.  If it had not been for the drink and dance halls I would not be at deaths door at the age of 28.  I am thankful to have enough life to repent, Minnie may.

Mrs. Nation a Modern Deborah..  Thus Saluted by the Boston, W. C. T. U., at Memorial Service in Honor of Francis Willard.  Boston, Mass.—­ Mrs. Carry Nation, the strenuous Kansas temperance reformer, was hailed as a “modern Deborah” at a meeting of the local W. C. T. U. yesterday afternoon in the vestry of Park Street Church.  Not a dissenting voice was heard from among the gathering of perhaps 200 women, but all over the room there was audible expressions of approval of the Characterization, which was applied by Mrs. Mary H. Hunt, a prominent member of the local branch of the union.  Mrs. Hunt said that Mrs. Nation is like Deborah of the Book of Judges, who led an army of 10,000 men to victory against her country’s enemies, when not a man could be found to lead the enterprise.  She aroused unmistakable evidences of indorsement from her audience when she remarked that the lady with the hatchet can truly say, “Until I arose, there was no man to punish unpunished rebellion against the law.”  Mrs. Hunt concluded by saying that thoughtful reformers are waiting with much interest to see what will be the result of Mrs. Nation’s cyclonic campaign.

A Son Wrecked By Liquor.  “Some day the mothers of this country will burn all the saloons and never a man in all the land will dare to check them.”—­New York Journal.

Dear Mrs. Nation:-I am one of these mothers and would be willing to help you to wreck or burn these saloons.  I have a son who is a wreck from the accursed stuff.  Oh! ’tis a dark blot on this republic.  Even Mohammedans do better than we, a Christian people, for in all Turkey one can not purchase strong drink.  But it follows our flag wherever it is planted.  Let me know if I can help you.  Mrs. P. D. Oliver.

Helen M. Gougar, Lafayette, Ind., writes:  “I want to thank the editor of the smasher’s mail for the good she has done by her unique method of campaigning against the liquor traffic.  Her message has gone around the globe for everybody has heard of Carrie Nation and her hatchet.  By the way I think the funniest thing on the pages of history is the scare that has caused men (God save the mark!) to bolt and bar their doors and turn pale with fright, because one little, old enthusiastic lady was headed their way!!  Oh, ye braves!!  You are almost as brave as if you used your opportunities to protect your offspring from the accursed liquor traffic.  Let the smashing go on.”
