rHr RUN POWER IN CHICAGO.

The city council OF Chicago took its own
measure the other day and put It on record.
An ordinance had been introduced provid-
ing that saloon should not be opened in a
residence block without the consent OF q
majority of the property owners.
Every reputable daily OF the city had
strongly approved the proposed ordinance
as being every way right and reasonable.
The right of people in residence BLOCK to
slich protection from the intrusion of a
liquor saloon was declared to be one which
ought to be respected. When, however. it
came to vote, out of sixty-eight alder
men only seventeen voted for it. That is the
moral attitude OF the Chicago council. The
grog shop dominates everything. Citizens
have no rights which the rum power need
respect. Is this the kind of council that is to
rule Chicago during the Worlds Fairs Here
Is tremendously ominous fact which the
Christian forces of the city will have to look
square in the face. A considerable number
OF the councilmen are themselves saloon
keepers, but all Of them-the seventeen ex..
cepted--have snapped the finger in the face
of the public defiantly. That there is any
necessity that this state of things should
always continue, no one believes. The better
and decenter order OF things will come in
when good citizens show by what they
eomoine to do that they really are sood CIT

If the wives of our employers were
to take the trouble to inquire little
closer into the domestic lives of the
men employed by their husbands, says
Mr.. Box i'm The Ladies' Home Jour-
nal, this world would be a far brighter
one for many a hard-worked woman
who buries her trouble in her heart,
and wipes away the only outward trace
of it with her apron. know of an
employer whose wife interested herself
IN the lives of the people in his store
so that she ascertained the birthdays
of their wives, their children, and even
the wedding-days. 1t was done so
quietly and so sweetly that none sus-
pected her purpose. But now on each
festive day in those fifty odd families
there comes pleasant remembrance.
1t is never the same, but always some
thing that is just needed in that family
at that time. Every six-month those
husbands find little difference in
their salary envelopes. At Thanks
giving spendid bird goes to each OF
the houses in the employers name: at
Christmas-time the hand of the wife Is
visible. Now that is practical charity.
God only knows how many burdens
that one woman has made easier, how
many lives she has made brighter.
None of the women whose paths this
one woman has so pleasantly smooth
ed has ever seen her ! To them she is
like an invisible angel of goodness,
but many are the silent prayers that 60
up in those fifty homes for her gentle
for others.
