BADLY BURNED.
TWO Boys Startled bv a Powder
Explosion.

Yesterday afternoon some boys,
playing in the neighborhood of Fifth and
Earl streets, came across pile of rub
bish which had been swept out OF store.
While exploring to see what articles OF
use or curiosity they might find, two OF
them came across a package OF some
dark substance which they we're examin-
ing when an older boy, known in the
neighborhood as "Texas," applied
a lighted match to it to see
whether it would burn. 1t did
turn, for it proved to be powder,
and the result of the experiment was
| that Milton Nathan and Guy Lamoreaux,
each about ten or twelve years old, were
| severely scorched. The former was
badly burned about the face and eyes,
and it is feared his sight is permane, tly
| impaired For the time being he is not
able to see at all. The other boys iDju-
| ries are not so serious. The powder
came from Grosser Bros store, and got
mixed among the rubbish by accident,
they having lately moved into their new
building and had general cleaning out.

A Novel Dose for DrunkardA

The country solons who make
the laws of the little commune near
Mons, in Belgium, have shown
great wisdom in dealing with drunk
ards. A few months ago law was
passed making it serious offense
to be palpably drunk in Belgium.
These local wise men concluded
that the law was too severe, and
that they would content themselves
with making drunkards useful and
diminishing drunkenness at the
same time. When drunkards ap-
pear on the streets of this village
the Gards- -Champetre takes them
politely homes. The next morning
he goes to the house of all those
whom he had found drunk the night
before and presents to each a broom
for sweeping the streets. The drunk
ard is allowed to choose between
working for the commune for one
day and being prosecuted for drum
kenness. He invariably elects to
sweep the streets. The village
streets are in consequence marvel
ously clean, and the sweepers, after
swallowing more than their natural
share of dust, pass mental resolu-
tions of sobriety and keep them

sunbeam of encouragement cast
upon a struggling life; the strong
right hand of fellowship reached

come to him as the God bless you"
of the departed day. how he must
hate himself. How he must try to
roll away from himself and sleep
on the other eide of the bed. When
the only victory he can think of is
some mean victory, in which he
has wronged a neighbor. No Won
der he always sneers when he tries
to smile. How pure and fair and
good all the rest of the world must
look to him, and how cheerless and
dusty and dreary must his own
path appear. Why. even one lone,
isolated act of meanness is enough
to scatter cracker crumbs in the
bsd Of the average ordinary man,
and what must be the feelings of
a man whose whole life is given up
to mean acts? When there is so
much suffering and heartaches and
misery in the world anyhow, why
should you add one pound of wick
edness or sadness to the general
burden? Don't be mean, my boy.
