1 THE W. C. T, U- CORNER \
I ‘‘F’pr God and Home and Native Land"^
MKS. EMMA KELLEY, 8U1*T.
A new year is before us and th® W
C. T. U. looks forward to a year of ac
tivity. We trust much good may be
accomplished in the cause of morality
and temperance.
There are 3,000 children, under six
teen years of age, who are compelled
to earn their own living in the city of
Omaha. Some of the little workers
are but eight years old. We have need
of a state child labor law.
From every direction come reports
of the good work being done by the
Women’s Christian Temperance
Union. The White ribbon soldier is
on guard whenever there is work to
be done. Surely the year shall not be
without its victories.
Many of the companies or corpora
tions that employ a large force of help
are requiring their employees to sign
a contract to abstain from the use of
intoxicating drinks. The lesson
should be plain to our young men who
are ambitions to secure good positions
in the business world. Form strict
temperance habits and you will have
acheived a long step toward a success
ful business career.
The people in the eastern states are
fully aroused over the wrongs of child
labor and it is expected that legisla
tive action will be taken at this ses
sion of congress to remedy the evil.
Although child labor does not, we be
lieve, exist to any great extent in this
part of our state, our sympathies are
with those who are moved to abolish
the evil. It is but right that the
children should be safeguarded in their
rightful heritage of a childhood as
free from care and responsibility as
possible. _
The juvenile court in Omaha is do
ing a grand work which cannot fail in
having a beneficial effect upon the
young people within its care. Through
it parents are brought to realize their
responsibilities as such, and a check is
placed upon those who are prone to
turn their children loose upon the
streets to grow up as they may; and
from which so many graduate into the
criminal ranks long before they have
attained their majority.
It is not an uncommon sight on our
streets to see little children, not above
six years of age, smoking tobacco. We
are told that many of the young boys
that attend our public schools scarcely
wait until they are a block away from
the school house before their pipes are
lit. Children whose brains are be
numbed by nicotine poisoning cannot
make good progress in their studies.
There is a law prohibiting the sale of
tobacco to minors. Surely parents,
you are enough interested in the wel
fare of your boys to see that this law
is enforced. You can have it enforced
if you will. On your conscience rests
the blame if you are too indifferent to
do so.
Nurse* and the Clergy.
A prominent London clergyman. In
referring to the fact that the tendency
to encourage the visitation by the cler
gy of the sick in acute cases is less than
it was, remarked that “this is probably
one of the results of the more careful
system of modern nursing, which lays
stress on the Importance of keeping the
sickroom quiet. The old Idea was that
the friends of the sick person should
be allowed to crowd into the room.
Now the nurse shuts them out, with
good results In the main. The nurse
has, therefore, become an exceedingly
powerful force in regulating the ar
rangements of the modern household
when there Is Illness in the home, and
it often practically rests with her, more
than with the doctor, to determine
whether the patient shall be visited by
the parish priest.”
Carlsn* Chin**. Playing Card*.
A pack of Chinese playing cards is a
genuine curiosity. They are generally
printed in black on thin cardboard, the
average width and breadth being about
that of the finger of a human being. In
some cases they are only half an Inch
broad and about three and a half inch
es in length. The length, no odds what
the size, is always at least six times
that of the width. Some of the packs
have queer representations of our
“kings,” “queens” and “knaves” stamp
ed upon them in black. Others are dec
orated with the figures of animals,
birds and fishes. Those used by man
darins and high officials bear only fig
ures of mythological creatures.
He Had Been There.
The clergyman was holding a chil
dren’s service at a continental resort.
During the lesson he had occasion to
catechise his hearers on the parable
of the unjust steward. "What is a
steward?” he asked. A little boy, who
had arrived from England a few days
before, held up his hand. “He is the
man, sir,” he replied, with a reminis
cent look on his face, “who brings you
a basin.”—London Olobe.
Pern’* Railway Wonder.
A remarkable railway, one of the
wonders of Peru, is that which runs
from Callao to the gold'fields of Cerro
de Paeco. Beginning in Callao, It
ascends the narrow valley of the Rl
mao, rising nearly 5,000 feet in the first
forty-six miles. Thence it goes through
the Intricate gorges of the Sierras till it
tunnels the Andes at an altitude of
15,645 feet, the highest point in the
world where a piston rod is moved by
steam. This astonishing elevation is
reached in seventy-eight miles.
