Jolly dogs" in this world; but. as
Gretchen says: "Did you ever see the wife
of jolly dog2 She sleeps in a kennel.
Did you ever see the children of jolly
dogP They are the ours of the street"
So the jolly dog may be as bad as the
malignant regretter. Let us therefore not
overdo the Jolly dog business with strang-
ers and exhaust ourselves, so that at home
We may be more civil.
Pardon me for moralizing on the glad
new year, but there ought to be one day
III each year when we can put our past ont
on the line and look i: over and pound it
with broom to knock out the harvest of
seitishness and unkindness.
Enough Oh the glad new year!
Last evening there was pathetic scene
at the box office in Paris, where We spoke
tor the benent OF thrifty church society
under the auspices OF the ladies' commit
tee. AS usual in such cases the seats were
sod the day before. Paris generally is re-
garded as the wlckedest and most immoral
city III the world. but Paris. ILL.,, should
not he confused with Paris, France
We came at noon and registered at the
Hotel Bristol, on the Place Nendome-
pronounced Piass Nondome--and in the
evening Ae began, after prayer meeting,

a tired man, with tall, heavy boots and
the sad air o! one who had been thirty
years trying to prove that agriculture was
one of the most delightful occupations

box office window for good seat.

Much has been printed throughout the
United States regarding the condition of
soc ETY. AT Hurley, Wis. Probably some of
il is true. 1t is said that the people there
are mostly miners who have been i'm ported
from abroad under contract Some of
them were caught III Poland alive, and
others We're shared in Russia. They talk
their own language, drink ale ohol when
depressed mentally and chew tobacco in
the English language.
Several times the world has heen startled
by the news that large stockade had
been established in p forest few miles
from Hurley. and that young girls were
being kidnapped from Chicago TO be
locked up IN these stock AIDES TO lead
T.. xNafk. al, q.
at midnight IN the asparagus bed adjoin-
ing the prison. Ii was sad tale and
aroused much sympathy, but later infor-
nation shows that these girls were kid
napei from Boiler avenue, and that they
also hung on the flank of the Onion army
during the war. They have therefore ar
rived at the age OF discretion. Ii they did
not care 10 be kidnapped they could have
gone right away from there.
