A Valuable Set of Encyclopedias and . . Little MensY stolen.
 When the teachers of the Welch Trsinipg school arrived yesterday morning it was evil dent that some one had visited the building during the night. The floors were spotted with tobacco juice, the teachers aprons were scattered here and there and something had been stolen from many of the rooms. From the desk of Miss Annie Collins in room 12, $1 20 and . set of fifteen volumes of ency- clopedias were missing. Janitor Weidig's heavy overcoat was also nowhere to be found. The burglars were evidently very familiar with the building.

Students who were anxious to earn a little

want you to let me saw nino cords of wood"
The principal looked doubtfully at tho young
lad for tho wood was tough and tho boy was
not, but gave his consent Mi. Roe said that
he never saw wood quito so bad as that,

to make his task Us hard Us possible. The
work nearly killed him, he said, but he
struggled through, and with proud aud

Effects of the Space system.
Space writing makes newspaper work a
vast gamble; there is always the alluring
vision of a big story" tomorrow, which
justif1es the extravagant expenditure Of
today. There is nothing more calculated to
demoralize man than constantly varying
income. 1t is all very we'll for moralists to
claim that the worker should calculate upon
the minimum, it is not in human nature to
do So The cases where space worker man
ages to save any money are very rare, while
the salaried man, whose weekly pay may not
be SO large as the average of the space worker,
in nine cases out of ten has a snug bank ac-
count Besides demoralizing the men, the

selves. a salared man has very little tempra-
tion to enlarge upon the facts, his effort is not
to make long story in order to lengthen his
string, but only to make good one, that he
may strengthen his hold upon the paper. The
salaried man is rarely "fakir," the space
worker has every temptation to be. OF the
padded stories and sloppy writing which the
space system encourages, there is no need TO
speak; We have to suffer more and more from
it every day.
lhe vast injustice of the space system is
that it makes no distinction us to quality,
but only regards quantity. One result is
that every live newspaper has each day pre-
pared as much again copy as, can be used
and i'll every Office one or more men are Ell

signature of the writer to n meritorous
article, 1t would furnish an inducpment for
better writing and more accurate work. 1t
would enable a conscientious man to build up
reputation for himself outside of the pupcl
on which he is employed. 1t would bo, at
least, recognition of good work. There are
very few men who would bc willing to sec
their signatures appended to statements
which they know to be false or to writing
which they know to be sloppy. Tho benefit
would be mutual to the paper and tho writer.

Ask the Jewish housewife, the Jewish
mother, whether marriage is failure! She
will not understand you. She will stand be-
wildered III the face of snch question: and if
You explain to her what you mean She will
tell you that q Jewish mother sees in mar
riago the acme of happiness, because of
wolnanly duty; that all these ncwfangled
notions are simply the outcome Of the brain
of some man or woman who missed the tiro
mark of life and whose life is a failure She
will point to her children, as Cornelia of old
did. She will cxtol her husband as the ideal
of her life. She may not have read as much
as tho girl of the period, may not he as ac-
complishcd, nor figure us speaker in as
semblages for the advancement of woman
suffrage, but she VIII exemplify to you how a
true woman lives, how true mother, de-
voted wife, arranges her life, and you will
find that true happiness is found in such a
family, and that marriage is the most sacred
bond in existence, which to question is to lay
sacrilegious hand upon the rock upon which
society rests.-Hebrew Standard
