Tell her we think the people of the place who have spent at the lowest estimate SAC, 900 the past year to forget their cares and dis appointments and to feel good few hours, are in earnest about having good time. Tell her we all need a change-a recreation-and a good many never will get it unless they are helped to it. Ask her for her ideas, and make the most of them. Send her home to talk it over at tea with her husband, and he with the next man he meets. Should you be tempt ed to feel discouraged remember George Macdonald's words, "The very first step toward action is the death warrant of doubt" and Alice Carey's "The attempt is all the wedge that splits it's knotty way betwixt..the possible and the impossible.

We have those in our church who testify nothing but the grace of God in their hearts could keep them. Let us take this gospel of Christ's which solves all prob lems, and let us go with it to such homes as will open to us, among those who have frequented saloons, and hold gospel meet ings, but let no man or woman go until he have firet the spirit of .Wesley-"But fou the grace of God might have been like l that man."

WHAT GAN WE DO ABOUT READING ROOM :?


 Head at the W. c. T. U. meeting, Nov. 14th.
 Let us consider what we propose to do. We aim to give substitute for the saloon. just closed -instead of place which poi sons body, mind and sonl, and W hich srim- ulates the baser passions, we would at tempt to furnish harmless recreation, Q congenial meeting place for those who have no home Gin the true sense of the word) and no character to keep them from drifting wherever the tide of circumstance and surroundings tend.
 Would reading-room answer this end One of the members of the Business Mems Association tells me their resding-room is hardly used, while the room furnishing 8 place for games and social conversation is we'll filled. Wecan hardly expect the class of people whom we desire to reach to be more literary than our average business man. To be sure some would avail them selves of our daily papers and period icals, but wel!-warmed, weli-lighted room, with an air of you are welcome to use me, containing games. comfortable chairs, hot coffee, tcf., presided over by the right man in the right place, would seem to re !. desirable addition to the read ing room.
 Given these in ceut1al loc .tion and -asy of success, and I would add weli- equipped gymnasium for the needed change of limbs and muscles, which go through monotonous round of work with little Ill the way of healthfnlirt creation. Let the lungs, which have been shut in all day perhaps from fresh air, learn to ex- pard freely and to h. lp more fnly to elim- mate some of the poison from the system which Is oyeitaxed with the dem Il d. made upon ii.

Certainly, if this work is to be sue cess, 1t must be prosecuted vigorously 1; people must be enthused aud made to be lieve in it, and to lift 1t above the level of charity before it can be helpful Tn any large measure. The general opinion seems to be that there is money enough in the town, demand enough for something of the kind, in fact enough of everything in the passive state.

Doubtless there are those in the place who'd give as memorial to friends.

much exasperated over the humiliat
ing surrender their government has
been compelled to make TO the AFRO.
giant demands of Great Britain. They
are conscious, Of course, that their
government could not have done 9th
erwise. Portugal is much to weak TO
resist any demand upon which Eng
land chooses to insist at the muzzle of
a cannon. But this very conscious
ness of weakness is CALLING to a proud
people and clearly places them at a
dangerous disadvantage in all discus

circumstances force the fact upon at

question themselves as to the means

ness, and many plans are advanced

The Denver Times fights the intro
duction of the electric railway in that
city, affirming the dangerous charact-
er of such lines. 1t says:
"Llfe, limb and property are SUI
fciently exposed to danger IN Denver
without adding a new firm OF danger
in the shape of an electric street rail-
way"
The Times is evidently speaking
from it's inexperience. A properly
constructed electric street railway is
no more dangerous than a horse car
line. In proportion to the mileage OF
the road fewer accidents happen on
the electric lines. than on any other.
Misdirected electricity is always dam
gerous. but the danger from this
source on an electric railway amounts
to practically nothing. Fewer deaths
result from the wires used for the
trolleys of the electric motors to play
on thau.from the use of kerosene oil
in kindling fires. Those who are
familiar with electric motors, haying
seen them in operation in eastern cities,
unhesitatipgly pronounce them the
best and safest mediums of municipal
looomotion. Sedalia should be con.
graduated upon securing them in the
near future, not only for the steam
motor lines, but in all probability as a
substitute for the "deadly" horse, and
Denver would do well to do Der best
to keep up with other cities in this
respect.
