Three Reasons.

wish to give three reasons why all
the boys and girls ought to be on the
side of temperance. First, because they
know enough about the evils of rum
and the meaning Of the pledge. Some
one who thought boys and girls ought
not to sign the pledge asked IA little boy,
'sWhat does the word drink mean:'
He answered, "Getting crazy on pur-
pose" Then he was asked. What does
pledge mean" He answered: ''To
promise something and stick to it,"
The man saw the boy understood it, and
so he let him sign the pledge and work
for Temperance. The second reason
that | want the boys and girls on the
side of temperance is because men by
and by will be in character what we get
the bows to be now. Bad boys will
most likely be bad men, and good boys
good men. In France. when wicked
tyrants were kings some of the boys
had band of hope, aud when they
marched they had on their flags the
words. "Trcmble tyrAnlS. Ne shall grow
up" They intended to drive the wicked
rulers out of the country when they
were men. SO temperance boys can
say, "rrcmbl". incompetence and rum
selling, we shall grow mp and put stop
to it The third reason is because
everybody can do something to help the
cause of temperance. even boys anu
girls. If there were only two tenn
perance people in the world today, and
each of them should get one more every
year, it would be but thirty years before
all the people in the world would be on
the side of temperance. Let us all sign
the pledge and keep it aud get every
body else we can to let rum entirely
alonc.-II'. r. CruttS.

Tobacco Among Students.

One of the most enjoyable hours that
| ever passed was in the normal school
at the little town of Winchester in
Southern Tennessee. The principal,
Prof. Rufus Clark, is IL consistent tenn
pcrance advocate and prohibitionst, and
the influence he eXerts over the impress
sionable minds of the young people in
his charge cannot be ovcrvalued.
was particularly pleased with his
confederation of the remarks had made
to the school of three hundred pupils on
the subject of tobacco. He said: As an
educator, | am prepared from my own
experience and observation to indorse
all that has been said in regard to tobac-
co. am convinced that it is an injury
physically. believe it is an injury
morally. know that it is an injury
mentally. Fortunately, we have few
students who use tobacco, but when one
does use it he shows it in his standing
in class. If there is an exception to this
statement, if IA young man does main
tain rank in his recitations, and is still
II user of tobacco, he is one who has such
natural mental ability that if he did not
use it he would so far distance his class
mates that he would soon be out of
sight. OF one, of whom | am now
thinking. the other students say; we
don't object to his using tobacco, for
that is the only reason why we can in
any degree keep up with him can
go through this school and put my hand
on every boy that uses tobacco, for he
shows it in his face, and if am in
doubt, can prove my surmisc by look
ing at his recitation marks. Mary

The Worlds Temperance
Congress.

The Worlds Temperance Congress,
called by the National Temperance
society, aud held under the auspices of
the Worlds Congress Auxiliary, WAS
great success. Nearly every country on
the globe was represented either III per-
sou by delegate, or by paper and report.
In this respect it was without precedent
in the history of the temperance reform.
In the series of worlds temperance CON
crosses it was by far the most truly
representative ever held. The audi
ences we're for the most part large, in
tcligent, and thoughtful, aud the papers
and addresses were. "a whole. OF Il
high order of EXCELLENCE.
This Congress will help the friends of
the temperance reform in all countries
to Il new aud more vivid conception of
the great magnitude of the drink evil,
rs involving all civilized nations The
reports from all countries recognize its
presence and it, destructive aud char
acteriStic ravages. Everywhere il Is
proclaimed the root of most of the
prevalent disorder, poverty, immortality,
and crime. What in European countries
is dcnomuatcd alcoholism is the sore
aillietion also of our own country.
The great meetings of the Congress
are over, and its delegates are already
en- route to their different homes in many
countries, but its greatest work remains
to he done through the volumes which
will cmbody and preserve its important
proceedings. All the papers. contrib
utcd by some of the most eminent tenn
pcrancc men and women in the world.
aud all the reports and more important
addresses, will be published in full and
and together they will constitute the
most valuable contribution ever yet
made to the temperance literature of She
world. These two volumes. of about
five hundred pages each, which the
National Temperance Society will
presently send forth, will be freighted
with very large possibilities of useful
ness. and should, AS they doubtless will.
find their way into many libraries, pub
lie and private. in many lands. Thus
may the great Congress be made to do
Il mighty work for the redemption OF
mankind from the drink bondage, and
the upbuilding of the Masters king
dom.

Penalty of n Small Vice,

Little vices have their Inconvenience,
as Partisan burglar has just discovered
to his cost. 1t appears that the other
night shop on one Of the boulevards
was broken into, and strong box was
found in the morning wrenched open
and with the contents missing. AT first
it was thought that the burglar had left
no trace, but on n careful examination
of the floor a piece of chewed tobacco
was discovered. This caused suspicion
to rest on former employee who was
given to using tobacco in that particular
way. He was sought out, and eventually
such proofs of his guilt were forthcom-
ing that he was convicted.-London

Trey MET ON FIFTH AVENUE.
A Glad Embrace Followed and Gave
Hint of Hidden Romance.


Pedestrians who were passing st. Pat
rick's cathedral on Fifth avenue the
other day at about B o'clock in the after
noon were treated to curious sight.
Coming up the avenue was a handsome
woman of about %. She was elegantly
dressed and bore herself with a manner
and a carriage which were eminently
aristocratic She was walking slowly,
as though ont for an afternoon airing,
looking carelessly at the carriages which
were passing along the avenue.
Going down town on the same block
and at the same time was man of mid
die age He. too, was dressed faultless-
ly. He wore silk hat and ovcrcoat of
the latest cut. His trousers were prop
erly creased. and in his buttonhole was
small boutonniere of lilies of the val
ley. In his hand he carried neat cane,
which he swung as he walked. He looked
contented with the world and with him
self and as though he had not care but
to enjoy the afternoon sunshine and the
luxury of leisurely stroll. AS they ap-
preached each other, this lady and the
gentleman, they arrived just opposite
the main entrance to the cathedral.
Suddenly they caught sight of each
other, and an instantaneous changecame.
The lady stopped short in her walk and
exclaimed, "Theo!' She dropped the
small silk umbrella she had been carry
ing, stretched forth her arms and sprang,
rather than walked, straight into the
arms of the man. He, while he did not
exclaim, acted in manner indicating
more emotion than surprise. He dropped
his cane and folded the woman to his
breast with an ardor that showed more
than gladness at the meeting. The pair
stopped for moment in view of the peo-
pie, who were observing them. He picked
up his cane and her umbrella, and to-
gether they both disappeared around the
corner into Fiftieth street.
Who were they? Brother and sister
united after years of separation? Their
JOY at meeting seemed too warm for
that. Lovers separated in their youth
and met again after many years? Who
can tell? 1t might have been. But they
disappeared around the corner, and they
carried their secret with them. And the
still lingering pedestrians felt somehow
that they had come into contact with
something holy and walked again on their
way with glad feeling it was as diff
cult to define as it was to tell whence
and why it ame.-New York Press.

The first patron of our patent system
was Thomas Jefferson, who during three
years gave his personal attention to
every application for II patent. He used
to call the Secretary of War and the
AttorneyGeneral to examine and scru-
TIME with him, and they did it so
thoroughly that in one year-tfe first
they granted only three patents. The
very first patent of all was granted to
Samuel Hopkins. in 1890. for pearl ash
Is. Mr.. Jefferson held that the prtent
system was not one for creating revenue,
but for cncoul aging the production of
that which is Ia be of benefit to the
whole people. In the first twelve years
Il single clerk in the State Department
and few pigeon-holes were all that
the business of the office required.
Then DIR. Thompson took charge of it,
and devoted himself to it AS hobby.

Johnny had been misbehaving while
his mother was away, and on her return
she talked very soberly to him about it,
telling him that God was always with
him and saw all he did. Johnny left
his mothers room with depressed look
on his face and was going away from
home when his dog ran after him.
Johnny turned around desperately on
the dog, crying out: You go back-it's
bad enough to have God tagging after
me all the time. New York Tribune.
