THE WAY TO WIN.
r On the field Of love you fan,

r On the field Of love you fsn,
With smiles conceal your pain:
Be not TO Love TOO sure thrall
But lightly wear his chain
Don't kiss the hem Of Baauty's gown -
Or trenb,e at her tear,
And when caprtces weight you down,
A word within your ear:
Another lass, another lass,
With laughing eyes and bright
Make love TO her,
And trust me, sir,
Twill set your wrongs Alright
Nhece'er a sweetheart proves unE1d
and yreets you with frowu,
Or laughs your passion TO the wind,
The talk Of all the town,
Plead not your cause on Bonded knee
And nurmured sighs prolong,
But gather from my minstrelsy
The burden Of my song:
Another lass. another Lass
There's always beauty by
Make love to her,
And trust Tie, Sir,
Twill clear the clorded SKY.

"Fndurable Life" for Children.

The London Society for the Prevention
Of Cruelty to Children has after several
years of careful study of the needs of
street children, prepared bill for their
relief 1t makes it penal ofiense to send
a child into the streets to beg directly or
indirectly That is, no child must sing or
play or sweep crossings to attract char
ity, under IA years of age. The principle
is that every child ''shSll have an endur
able life" The ola common law principle
that father owns his child is about
worn out The state has stepped in to
interfere and act as supreme protector.
The little victims, when they arc done
for, after brief career of suffering to
support their parents, are to be found
suffering and dying on floors OF atties
and cellars or in hospitals. The tale OF
beggar children is too terrible 10 be told.
Il is murder of the worst sort. 1t is high
time law stepped in everywhere to pre-
vent the pauperizing of children and to
protect "even the children Of tramps. -
