The city council deserve credit for
the action they have taken to cup
press the disturbance which from the
very first marked the appearance of
the Salvation Army in this city. The
noisy, boisterons, deviltry connecting
crowd, WHICH nightly gathered at the
barracks to witness and participate
in the circus on Sunday as we'll as
other nights, did more to inculcate a
spirit of lawlessness and profanity
among the young people in sight and
hearing than could. be offset by the
combined influence for good, Of all
the preachers in this city. One of
police judge Jewett's little sermons,
quietly but firmly delivered, does
more to moralize and subdue some
mischief makers than weeks of mild
remonstrance and sweet persuasion
from less official sources. Since
Judge Jewett pronounced sentence on
one of these disturbers of the public
peace there has been a marked
change and blissful quiet has set.

not seem too soon to assert that
prompt repression of hoodlumism is
the safest, cheapest and most satis-
factory way to secure quiet, good or

property of citizens.

Jack Dempsey, who. has been away
ever since the revival of interest
among gh.hying sporting men,
which began with the coming OF

$1,000 If Dempsey would stand be-
fore him for en- eight round glove
fight and get knocked out. .
Dempsey is roughing it around

in the Brooklyn Eagle, dated Novem-
Der 25, he says: :.
II read the notice and feel quite
thankful to Charley Mitchell for his
magnanimous offer. L will bet him
$1,000 that he can't stop me in eight
rounds. He has made proposition,
and as he has an unlimited amount
of cash he can well afford to stand
the racket. He had better consider
the proposition of the California Ath-
letic club. II he is so confident why
does he not accept that offer of
$4,000 and l think they will give more
than that. l have never said / could
whip or lick or beat Mitchell, or, for
that matter. any other man. l have

The following is told Of the little
three-year-old son OF a prominent
merchant in Salem. Whenever he
hurts himself or thinks he. does and
commences to cry, his mother always
turns his attention by saying some
thing funny to him and his tune is
changed to laughter. But, few days
ago, he thought'the exigencies of the
case demanded more serious consid.
Grafton. He fell off the porch and
hurt his mouth SO that it bled. He
ran into the house crying and met his
mother with her customary smile; he
saw she was about to say something,
and he cried ont through his sobs,
Don't stop me, mamma, don't stop
me; want to cry like sixty" "Well,
go in, my boy, and cry if out" said
his mother, almost convulsed by the
serio-comic attitude of the case.

How Men Die. :
If we know all the methods of ap.
proach adopted by an enemy we are
the better enabled to ward OFF the
danger and pospone the moment when
surrender becomes inevitable. In
many instances the inherent strength
of the body suffices to enable it to OPP

to such an extent that there is little
or DO help. In other cases little
aid to the weakened Lungs will make
all the difference between sudden
death and many years of useful life.
