Temperance Tales and a Cold Shake in Town
A mix of temperance lore and stray vignettes fills this column. It recalls a legend of a northern stream and rattlesnakes on the north bank, a butterfly moment of leaf cover that spooked a snake, and a YMC A bulletin on high license laws. Also recounted is a street scene where a man seeks a warrant over a false pretenses gift ploy, ending with a police captain’s verdict and a vow to stay single.
