A New sweetmeat.

Notwithstanding the toying with to-
bacco on the part Of many would-be
smart women. the purer taste for whole
some sweetmeats shows no signs Of
diminution. Indeed, to judge by the
supply OF high class confectionery so
largely put before the public. the de-
mand seems to be increasing. Many
housewives. ladies and young people.
and, indeed. all who own the soft i'm
peachment Of having "a sweet tooth"

The Model Juryman.

To the Editor
I never read the papers, or anything that tapers
To politics or morals, or the like.
I'm a perfect ignoramus on things that should
inname us,
Be 1t Cen Coxeys army. or q strike
. I haven't any bias. or traits OF Ananias,
never sowed wild oats when In my teens;
I'd end my life as enter a saloon,
And as for gambling-tell me what 1t meansl
The plaintiff or defendant may be in the as
cendant
In all the public walks Of city life;
never took the bother to distinguish one OF
other;
left such mincng details to my wife!
Out OF fifteen hundred men am not the nttest
then
To Judge 'twixt Tweedledum and Tweedledeef
You may write me down ass-as a talesman
can pass,
For you cannot get a juryman like me!

CANADIAN BUMPTIOUsNEss,

The Canadians have seized two Ameri-
can passenger boats with a party of
Americans on board who were fishing
for black bass near Kelly's Island at
Put-in-Bay. The revenue cutter Petrel,
which made the seizure, as 1.-The Even
ing World" announced yesterday,
landed the passengers on Pelee Island,
but the boats. with the captains and
crews, were taken to Amherstburg,
Ontario. where they are charged with
violation OF the Canadian Fishery act.
1t is not gratifying to find the Gov
ernment at Washington rushing a de-
spatch through to the newspapers justl-
flying the seizures on the ground that
they were made In waters wholly
under the Jurisdiction OF Canada" and
jumping at the conclusion that the par
ties were violating laws (which the
Canadian Government has full authority
to make" 1t would have been at least
becoming for the Government to have
waited until It received Information AZ

had any Mt all when 1t made the asser-
tions, except what "The Evening

technical justification for the seizure
But that does not render any the less

To the Editor:

To the Editor:
correspondent Is perpeSed on the question
Of why the hrst day OF the week is observed
as the Sabbath. In the eyes OF Christian be-
lievers this is primarily because the resurrection
OF Christ took place on the nrst day OF the
week, and as that event opened up a new
dispensation and brought the end and fuhment
Of the law It was considered eminently fitting
by the apostles and the early church that the
day should take the place OF the Jewish Sab
bath careful perusal OF the gospels will
show several frequent references to the OBJ
servance of the first day OF the week by Christ
and his discipes and this Is considered by
Christians the best and suticent reason why II
should be observed as a day OF rest and worship

West Pointers for Police Captains.


To the Editor:
The present system OF appointing police cap
tains and lesser police officials should be radi-
cally reformed. without regard to merit. these
people are appointed according to the strength Of
their political pull. The newspapers are pointing
out day after day the inefnciency Of the police.
Captains are shifted around, still the demoraliza-
tion In the force goes on. Now for the remedy:
The citizens Of New York. by legislative action
should demand the passing OF a law appointing
only West Pointers as police captains. and all
other lesser positions reward of merit only.
Then and only then, will their splendid discipline
bring the city out OF the chaos and rut It has
fallen into. and efficient commanders will obey
the letter OF the law unm!ndful Of dctaton from
any political party in power.
