After They Went Fishing

They didn't catch many fish, although they had
a great deal OF fun and got themselves wet all
over whep the log they had been sitting On rolled
over and dropped them into the water. The big
gest catch OF the day was the severe cold they
caught from not being properly dried when they
came cut. summer cold is quite as dangerous
as one In winter, but Perry Davis Pain Killer is
the sovereign remedy in case of either.

Crime and Pernicious Literature.

The instances are multiplying Of
the direct influence of the. constant
perusal OF The books and papers that
eulogize the adventures and, crimes
of outlaws and daring desperadoes
upon romantic and highly-strung
boys. But few weeks since an or
ganized band of youthful banditti,
children of respectable families Of
Norwich, Conn.,, were discovered,
having their headquarters in a cave,
from which they issued on their
marauding expeditions in which they
emulated the deeds of the heroes OF
their dime novels. A fortnight ago q
similar band of boy burglars, sons OF
respectable, wealthy parents in a
Canada village, were detected, after
having pursued their career of crime
for a long time, to which they were
prompted by their juvenile literature.
They, too, met in a cave, each swear
ing dreadful oath of fidelity under
penalty of death +! And recently ten
members of the ''Jesse James Gang,
named from the dime novels they had
read, were arrested at Freehold, New
Jersey, and had to await the action Of
the Grand Jury for robberies they
had committed All of the boys were
well connected. Parents and guardi-
ans must recognize the fact that their
Indifference to the reading of their
children is dangerous, if not crimi-
nal The publishers of this deprav-
ing literature of course, cannot be
reached by moral considerations, but
the newsdealers who, with the knowl-
edge of its legitimate effect, wilfully
pander to the corrupt taste of the
boys, should be regarded as public
Pensioners. There must be more
and determined opposition
to all immoral and dangerous itera-
ture. Down with it and save the
boys.

The whisky drinkers of Illinois
consumed last year $50, O00, 600 worth
OF the fiery liquid. In Chicago alone
there are 8. $50 drinking saloons, and,
estimating the receipts of these sa-
looms at from $40 to $175 daily, The
total amount annually expended in
Chicago atthe countersis$32 OS2, $50,
or more than $50 per capita for every
man, woman and child in the city
The proportion of drinking saloons
IN Chicago is one to every 100 of pop
ulation, and in the State of Illinois
there is one retail liquor dealer to
every 27O inhabitants There are in
the United States ITO, 900 retail liquor
dealers, whose annual sales probably
amount to $3.50, 100000, or 1880
per capita for the whole population
OF the country. It is estimated that
80 per cent. of the liquor consumed
goes down the throats of the male
population, who annually expend
upon the qualification of their appe-
tites for drink the enormous sum of
$3.50. OOO, 900.

Claiborne Guardian.l

Claiborne GuardianI
The last issue of the &ayyille Bea-
con contains an article On this sub
ject, which is timely and sensible.
We heartily concur with the sugges-
tons of our cotemporary. We.a are
satisfied that the majority of the
advertising agencies which con-
stantly annoy publishers with their
propositions, are frauds and want
something Of value Tor nothing. In
the great majority of cases they
offer nothing like a reasonable CON-
pensation for the work they want
done. In many instances they never
expect to pay at all, and will agree
to any price. We think the less
publishers have to do with these
agencies, the better. They charge
an ex0rbitant commission. There
is no necessity of a set OF middle
men to gobble up all the profits
Newspaper men can conduct their
business as well by. dealing directly
with the parties that want advertis-
ing done, as through these fraudu-
lent agencies. There is no sense or
use in paying them high commits
sion. It is no more trouble to do
business directly. 81
The newspapers have this matter
in their own hands, and by 0 little
concert of action they might dis
pense with these agencies and put
money in their own pockets. We
have some right to say what We
will charge for our work, and we
can refuse to deal with these agen-
cies and make our own contracts
directly with the parties who wish
the work done. II the press of
Louisiana would adopt some such
rule as this, we are satisfied it would
result in great benefit. For our
part, we think the suggestion of |
the Beacon is o good one. ''If q |
