HOW THE WOMEN DID IT.

The Cincinnati Times-Star gives the following instance of a saloon closed by knitting: “Never had but one saloon in our town, and the ladies knit that one out,” said a gentleman who lives in Moor’s Hill, Indiana.
“What!” exclaimed the astonished delegate; “knit it out?” ‘Yes; when the saloon was started, the women formed in relays and went and took their knitting to the saloon. Of course that knocked business higher than a kite. It was not long before that saloon had to be closed, and since that time no man has ever had the nerve to start another.”—Pacific Ensign.
