Punishment Sol a Remedr.

Il doubt very much if a confirmed
drunkard was ever reformed by punish
ishment," says DIR. L. w. Baker, superin-
tendent of the Family Home for nervous
invalids at Baldwinsville. Mass, in an
article on the medico-legal treatment Of
drunkards. The doctor cites the follow
ing facts in proof: At the international
prison congress in 1871 it was stated that
not n in a thousand persons committed
to jail for inebriety ever recovered. Be-.
fore a committee of the house of lords in
England men of the largest experience
testified that they had never heard of q
case of reformation of inebriates from
punishment by fines and Imprisonment.
This testimony is confirmed by prison
authorities all over the country. In the
vast majority of cases the first sentence is
speedily followed by others. In 1879
Massachusetts punished by fine and i'm.
~prisonment over II, 900 inebriates, more
than 16, 200 of whom had been in prison
before. OF the SO. 200 inebriates coming
under legal notice in New York in 1859,
less than 1000 were punished for the first
time. All others had been sentenced be-
fore for the same cause. One man had
been sentenced to Deer Island, near Bos-
ton, 70 times for drunkenness, and many
cases have been known of men who have
been sen to jail and warehouses; from 90
to 200 times for the same reason. Herald

Acquaint yourself, so far as possible,
with the principles of good sanitation in
building operations; watch the work and
you are not likely to have a faulty house.
There are plumbers who do their work on
sanitary principles, and who never leave
fever nests on their trails. The loveliest
house may be ruined by bungling sewer
connections. Many mysterious and often
fatal ailments are explainable by intelli
gent reference to hidden pipes and ducts.
Then, too, the plumbing may be perfect,
yet disaster may befall a family who are
in too great a hurry to get into their new
abode. 1t is a fact. An old proverb saws,
as to a new house: THE first year for my
enemy; the second for my friend; the
third for myself" Newly finished houses
are often reeking with dampness. Walls
may seem to be perfectly dry when the
plastering is very damp. 1t is perilous to
sleep in a room newly plastered. 1t is, of
course, a strong temptation to rush into
and occupy a pretty and convenient
house.-Pioneer Press.

TWENTY. FIRST MILE STONE

VIEW I-FIH IL MILE 81 O4'G.
The twenty first birthday is the crown
ing event in the life of a youth. 1t marks
the period when he enters into the full
functions of citizenship and is the divid-
ing line which the law has fixed between
adolescence and manhood. With a news
paper, one birthday is pretty much the
same as another except in so far as age
may lend to it stability of character or
financial solidity.
And yet, after all there is something
peculiarly gratifying about a twenty-first
newspaper birthday. Twenty-one years
of continuous publication in the Far West
is a stage of existence which only a CON-
paratively few papers have reached and it
is therefore with a feeling of honorable
pride that THE LEAEER to day celebrates
that interesting mile stone in its rather
varied career.
The twenty-one years during which this
paper has been published contains the en-
tire history of Wyoming Territory. The
material from which the paper was first
printed was hauled in here bya bull team.
Publication was begun OF September 10,
1867, and the paper was sent forth to the
world d%iminutive in size and only three
times a week. The Union Pacific road
did not reach here until the following De-
cember. The whole section of country
which now embraces Cheyenne was her
included in the immense and compare
lively unknown region OF Dakota Terri
tory. Wyoming was not organized until
1868.
The growth of Wyoming during the
past twenty years has not been nearly so
remarkable as that of many other states
and territories. 1t was believed to be
part OF the great American desert, its
soil was thought to be arid and little well
directed effort has been made to discover
and develop its hidden mineral resources.
For many years Its settlements were con-
fined to the line of the single railroad
which penetrated it east and west. Until
the days when its grazing lands were dis
covered and utilized Wyoming was very
little heard OF.
The coming five years should do more
for Wyoming than the past twenty have
done. We have now three railroads
where we used to have one. As these
are pushed to the western line of the ter
ritory they will penetrate regions rich IL
mineral resources. Development mus
rapidly follow and with it must come in
c~reasing wealth and population. We have
back of us one Of the richest regions il
the Union. Except along its coal meas
ures scarcely anything has yet beer
done to bring its hidden wealth t.
this surface. This consummation cannot
much longer be delayed. When it is
realized Wyoming will take a proud posi-
ton in the galaxy of states.
In the march of progress THE LEADER
will endeavor to keep time with the pro
cession and contribute, to the best Of its
ability, to the glorious results which must
soen follow as a matter of course.

Convenience to Stamp Purchasers.

When the postal authorities adopted
the suggestion that the sheets of postage
stamps should be perforated, so as to ia.
cilitate the division of them. it was recog.
nized that an important economic reform
had been brought about. Both the sellers
and buyers of stamps saved much valu-
able time by the introduction of an i'm
provement so simple in itself that every
n wondered why 1t had not been
thought of before. Hao not the time ar
rived for a further development in the
same direction? Why should not the au-
thorities make up little packets of stamps
ready for use, in ten. twenty. twenty-five.

How to Become Naturalized.

There is much misconception on the
part of the public, and especially the for
eign born population, as to the course to
be pursued to become a naturalized Ameri-
can citizen. The procedure is this: A
person arriving in this country under the
age of 1S years can, after he has been five
years in the country and has arrived at
the age of 81 years, be granted full citi-
zenshiP papers upon presenting himself
before any court of record with two wit
nesses, citizens of the United States, who
are able to swear that he arrived in this
country under le years of age In case
of aliens who have arrived in the United
States when over IS years of age, it is
necessary for them to declare their inten-
ton to become a citizen, which declara-
ton must be made at least two years be-
fore application is made for final papers
or full citizen papers. This declaration,
provided the party has resided in the state
one year, entities him to vote, but it re-
quires a five years residence in the coun-
try. before full papers can be obtained,
and, as a condition precedent, the appli.
cant must prove to the satisfaction of a
competent court, by two witnesses, citi-
zens OF the United States, that he has
lived in the country for five years.
