The Dime Novel Eniquity.

Not a week passes without it's
record Of juvenile crime, tracea-
bic directly to the influence upon
the minds Of children, exerted by
residing dime novels,
Last week the New York papers
reported the breaking up of four
organizations of young boys, each
Of which was most effective train
ing school for crime, and all be
ing the direct result of the read
ing of this vile literature. AS e test
of the readiness of those under
his command, to obey orders
without question, the captain Of
one OF these organizations ordered
each boy in his gang to prison his
mother, and but for the affection
Of one of the little fellows leading
him to inform his mother Of what
was to be done, the attempt would
doubtless have been made by sew
eral of them.
The VIII lie country is vitality in
terested in the stamping out of
this prolific fountain Of crime
The receptive minds of children,
too young to have any fixed char
acter or established principles OF
their own, are the fertile soil in
which this poisonous trash, sown
broadcast over the whole country,
takes root and grows with ruinous
results, varying and vitiating the
mind, and to a greater or less ex-
tent affecting the whole after life
1t is the duty Of every man and
woman to do all in their power tC
discourage and break up this IN
famous traffic. Every book anc
news dealer should be made to un
derstand the corrupting influence
\ Of this vile literature, and If h
persists in keeping it for sale, hi
/. place should be avoided by all a

my experience in raising the weed
