ANOTHER TEETOTAL GRIEVANCE. -- The individual who found out that I. O. G. T. (the initials of the Independent Order of Good Templars) might also mean "I often get tight" has just made another discovery. He asks why newspapers will persist in abbreviating a Son of Temperance into S. O. T.? The attention of Sir Wilfrid LAWSON is respectfully called to this baneful practice. -- Judy.
