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, Ind.

“ ‘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.
