brewers these two editorial statements speak for them selves The Free Press said The antagonists of the prohibition movement will have to adopt a vastly different line of argument if they wish to make head way against the facts and figures of its advocates An opinion signed by an editorial writer in the Journal said The Michigan man beyond any ques tion whatever carried off the honors Later the Journal had a cartoon picturing a w imin in a rage against her husbaud She was shrilling What Home again sober This will drive nie insane Below theie was a column account of the plea of Mrs So and So for divorce It was written in technical legal phraseology and stated that the first two eara of married life had been blissful because her husband in a manly way had regularly come home drunk and abused his family but since the prohibition laws had gone into effect he had sadly changed his ways Now he refuses to get drunk or stay out with his fiipnds and he does not even get drunk at home This naturally began to wear on the petitioners nerves and it is having a baneful effect upon her mind She trusts a humane court will grant her merciful release Below small print said This is the first day of April The brewers have had a number of speakers of national repute hero to defend their interests but every one Las succeeded in giving an impetus to the teniperai ce cause The debate was no exception it was many believe the ni03t telling blow ever struck for tem perance in this city They simplj have not talking points While th work in the dark by the corruption of politics and the subsidizing of newspapers by the boycott and the intimidation of public men they put up powerful op position but just as soon as they step out into the open and attempt a verbal defense of their business they throw away their case The American saloon cannot stand the light We are earnestly wishing that these discussions may go on It is heartening to hear the brewers ring the bell for a prohibition meeting Nothing that I know of could have brought together so great a company of our representative business men to hear a temperance ad dress as did the debate We wish Chi cago would let u have the second one here With the Rev Dr Rose to read the scriptures and Dr Dickie to expound them it would not take many meetings to start a sweeping temperance revival even in Milwaukee IluirirCG FOB KEKPS OK SCHOOL BOV GAMBLING Some parents think this subject so trifling as to be unworthy of notice or correction but there is nothing too small to merit attention that has to do with warping character and this it unques tionably does A few are so far from tho right point of view as to desire their boys lessons in experience to date from their marble playing days in hope they may gain shrewdness or wisdom from ft But alas So many of us are heed leas of consequences or trust to infinite goodness that our boy shall take no harm from the amusement The full grown gambler is a far cry from the email lad in knee pants cheerfuly wear ijgoutthe knees of his stockiogs for the patient overburdened mother to mofld but we need to make the applica tion personal J A pure wholesome reliable

mine said Mrs GrMdgriud God for bid Then let us see to the careful in struction of our lads in the right and wrong of this matter I think every mother will admit that the wee laddie iu his best miods cm be mado to see clearly the difference between mine and thine and it must be among the first lessons we teach him It ought to be pretty well fixed in his mind before the marble playing age and he will at once see the justice in not placing for keeps How many of us have realized that our little ones were indeed fresh from the hand of God when ho has rither startled us by his grasp of the justice of some situation where our own i teas may have been somewhat biased and we real ze this to our shame Then woe o us if we fail to build sure found ation on this at that age for the man hood that shall be assaulted on every side and like the house builded on the sand the fall thereof may leave our htinrts most desolate Not only may g imbiers be the result of carelessness or neglect of our boj habits in play We are most of us aware of the grned of gain that need- no fostering to develop into a so c died c tptain of industry who with his train ed hosts rides rough shoe over his weak er brethren and makes the bread they earn bitter by his pitiless disregard of their rights These kind of gamblers who deal in the necessities of peoplr corner wheat or monopolize iron coal oil timber or any great necessity or i dustry are as well the logical outcome of our marble player In the training cf miy own lads I have indeavored to in still the thought of the rights of othera and the bible idea of letting him take our cloak also with varjing degrees of success up to a certain time After the lure of thw world and the rush for the mighty dollar gets hold of them it saems as if ones teaching is in a mea sure forgotten But even jet let that same counsel continue of preferring the welfare of others to their own and along with the voice of conscience mothers voice will also chime with the still small voice and who can say they will not prevail when temptations assail I can never see why a mother of sons or daughters either should ever array herself on the side of the saloons or any debauchery for she of all people can not afford to be on any but the right side of moral questions and then if any of her own shall meet with shipwrack on temptations seas it cannot then be said to her you are to blame Her heart will be sore enough without this thorn There are so many and onticing ways to entrap the unwary all along the way and some of them I am sure are placed there by people who are not intention ally guilty of any thought of the harm they will do Slot machines in their various guises and various vendings of things calculated to part tho small boy and his penny or nickles candy boxer with chance for free boxes grab bags also alluring to the small child and con tributing to disappointment or success with a desire to try either one over again with the hope that springs eternal in the human breast The raffle and buying of numbers with chance of winning some article of value many time3 over the risk appeals to those older and keeps them in the path and now developes into the get something for nothing or get rich quick and by and by some poor souls feet are in quicksand and he goes behind prison bars Mrs Jos Allen McCook What a pity it is that all the hrist im denominations of our city do not co operate together in the cause of tem- pernnce Any true christian will nd mit that the saloon is one of the great- est enemies of the church and yet we unci many wno nave sworn 10 runner the interests of His kingdom selling themselves to the enemy betraying their Lord and Saviour as did Judas for a few pieces of silver Every one admires and honors the man or woman who stands unflinchingly for the right I but who is there that does not despise a j coward and traitor I Those who failed to hear the lectures 1 of Mrs Wallace missed a rare treat She is an able and entertaining speaker well qualified for the great work she has undertaken She easily held the nttention of the large audience Sunday evening The people showed their ap preciation by their generous offerings to the cause of temperance We trust that tho truths she presented to us may not fail of their purpose Press Su nt of W C T U We are sorry lo loa Jrom among us our capable and much

MYSTERY OF MARS Old but Unsolved Problem Is Thor Animal Life on tho Planet With n planet so old ns Mars nnd so far along In the process of life ex tinction the conditions of life would be severe nnd only a highly Intellectual nnd scientifically developed racecould endure and master them The engi neering skill and constructive capacity to control the annual Hoods from the poles store the waters and build the thousands of miles of huge canals would require scientific knowledge be yond that possessed by us at the pres ent time and financial resources In ex cess of those we have yet accumulat ed The nation that finds the digging of a little ditch at Panama so great a task would be helpless In the face of J such a problem as these thousands or miles of Martian canals If indeed ca nals they be Yet in view of the greater life age of Mars such higher intelligence would be natural Iu the regular process of development as suming that it has ever been the abode of Intellectual life Scientists are In the main In a re ceptive stare on this subject They are not ready to admit that the exist ence of life on that planet has been proved They do not deny It but call for greater proof than a plausible the ory Among others than scientists there is in the main a disposition not to accept the Martian human life theory or the theory of life on any of the thousands of spheres that wheel and glisten in Illimitable space They seem to think that such a theory con flicts with religion and dwarfs man and his importance In the scheme of creation This seems to be a very narrow view to take since it appears to set bounds upon the Infinite power and creative desires of the Almighty whose great scheme of mortal and immortal life is not necessarily confined to a single planet or the few billions of human beings who are born and die upon It As to dwarfing the importance of man a few billions nitre added to the bil lions on earth would make little differ ence Man is at best a small and in significant creature but if all embrac ing wisdom power and love takes so licitous note of him it would be limit ing those infinite qualties to say that one planet must be his abiding place Therefore the question of human in telligence on Mars or any other planet of the solar system or the other great systems iu remote space should be purely and simply a scientific one tc be accepted as true only when proved but not to be rejected through ment or for any other reason whatever except lack of proof St Louis Star An Oriental Blessing A well known representative fron China who was a guest at a wedding I in a capital city was approached after the ceremony by the best man and jocularly asked to go over to the young couple and pronounce a parental blessing The obliging dignitary com- j plied with pleasure Placing his ha ids on the blushing bride and shaking I bridegroom lie said May every iew Jnar bless you with a man child off spring until they shall number twenty i Gve in all May these twenty live man j children offspring present you with twenty five times twenty live grand children and may these grandchil uren But the little bride grew hysterical about this time and the oriental bless ing was ended amid the laughter of the guests Ladies Home Journal A Cowboy Spider Faking aside said the nature stu dent there is in New Zealand a cow boy spider This creature throws n coil of web like a lasso over its p eys head then adds more and more coils and when the prey is bound hand and foot devours it There is a Borneo spider that in the spring days plays a liddle It is a common thing for a lovesick spider to dance before Ills girl but this Borneo boy my drawing his arm across his turn produces a sweet clear note Whenever he sees a good looking young lady spider he stops and gives her a tune honing to win her by Bulletin Miners Freedom From Cance Miners never have cancer In thirty-five years practice in a mining town I havent had a single cancerous pa tient Aud
