THE WHITE RIBBON.

This incident illustrates the power
of the White Ribbon. We do not
value it as we should. When the
citizens of this town entertained six
ty Fresh Air Fund children from
Brooklyn, few years ago, the writer
was entrusted with poorly clad and
also very shy little girl of eleven
years. She was the last one at the
station to be assigned to her place.
She wept and shrunk from every one
who spoke to her. We tried to soothe
her, and by careful treatment gained
her confidence; but not until the
White Ribbon was pinned on her
dress could we get the history Of her
family. When asked whether she
knew what it signified, she replied,
eyes, mamma wears it," From that
time on we gradually learned that her
father was a british drunkard, and he
had forbidden the child to say any
thing about family affairs.
When we first asked her whether
her parents attended church service
she answered eyes" After we gain
ed her confidence the answer would
be mamma does.' We learned by
subsequent answers to our questions
that the family was in very destitute
circumstances, and in addition the
father often beat the mother and
| children. From letters received from
the mother we learned that she was a
Christian woman. Her plea was,
''Pray for my husband, that his soul
may be saved" No spirit Of resent
ment was manifested for the cruel
| treatment he gave her. Let US not
think the wearing of this little badge
of no significance. 1t has been the
revealer of many an important secret,
as we'll as a comforter and help to
those almost beyond help.

Hamlin,s Correspondence.

Hannibal Hamlin, perhaps the most
typical of Names great sons who have
won national honors and a national
memory, always saved the letters which
he received, but preserved no copies Of
his replies or of his share in any CORE
spondence. So General Charles Hamlin,
his son, who is preparing his biography,
finds himself with trunk after trunk
filed with letters written by the most
conspicuous figures in the life of the ma
ton for the past 80 years. In many
cases he desires his fathers answers
and is having more success in tracing
and securing them than might be i'm
agined.
A few days ago he received an almost
invaluable collection of them from
Washington, which had come into tho
possession of ex-Postmaster General
Horatio King, himself an honored son
of Maine. During the war Vice Presi-
dent Hamlin conducted a personal cor.
respondence with some Of the leading
Federal generals, whose communica-
tions, after the lapse of years, possess
extraordinary interest. In these old let
tiers, too, is further confederation of
what General Hamlin has always known
that previous to the war his father
and Jefferson Davis were particularly
intimate and relied upon each other to
carry various measures through the SEN
ate. Lewiston Journal.

Hiding Their Lights.

The increase in crime has led to the
formation of novel club. Fifty men of
wealth and high standing i'll business
circles have organized an 'antijewelry
wearing club, and have pledged them
selves not to wear anything in public
calculated to tempt pickpocket or foot
pad, not even a watch and chain, until
the police department shows some sign
Of suppressing crime. This action was
taken after we'll known millionaire
who likes diamonds had 5000 "spar-
kler' plucked from his shirt front while
he was enjoying a cigar on the front
platform Of q surface car. AS q result of
this action, these members Of the club
who formerly disported diamond rings,
to say nothing of diamond collar but
tons and other expensive ornaments, are
going around today like other plain citi-
Zens. Thus contempt for the police
promises to work at least one needed re-

Did Misspelled Word Cause War?

An ingenious explanation of the ac
tiOn of DR.. Jameson is given by the
London correspondent of the Birmipg-
ham Gazette. According to this, Jane
son, with his men, was waiting for
some word from Johannesburg. 1t camo
in a telegram worded thus: Revolution
carried, in compliance with your de-
sire That was the telegram received.
The telegram actually sent from tho
johannesburg committee was, "Resolu
tiOn carried, III compliance with your
desire. F" That ''v'' instead of "s'' made
all the difference. Jameson made his
plunge into the enemy country, expect
ing to find the settlers in arms waiting
for his coming. Instead, he found only
great masses of armed Beers barring his
way. The Beers were fully prepared and
expected his coming. This raises the Gu
rious suggestion, Had they anything to
do with altering the telegram? Was it
a trap for the English raiders to draw
them on in order to justify the quaint
utterances of Kruger that when the tor
toise put out its head they would cut it

Motto: "God and Home and Native Land"
GONE TO RELIEVE THE
ARMENlANS.

Secretary Olney has received from
Mr.. Terrell, the United States minis
ter at Constantinople, telegram
saying that while the porte refuses
permission to the Red Gross or to
members of the Red Gross as such to
distribute relief in Armenia, and
thereby declines officially to recog-
niZe that society, it will permit any
persons whom Mr. Terrell names and
approves to distribute relief in the
interior of Turkey, provided the
Turkish authorities are kept inform
ed of what they are doing.
Miss Clara Barton sailed from New
York on Jan. %, determined to go on
as if there had been no Introduction of
the Red Cross society, and firm in the
belief that a way would open when
she reached Constantinople whereby
to carry relief to the suffering.
Concerning the concessions made
by the porte, the New York Tribune
says:
GIN one word, Miss Barton and her
associates will be compelled to per-
form their praiseworthy mission as
private individuals instead of as rep
resentatives of the society to which
they belong. This is not, however, a
stipulation that is in any way calcu-
lated to deter them, for SO long as
they are permitted to execute the
noble and charitable work that they
have undertaken, it will be a matter
of indifference under what name they
labor. The main thing is that they
are to be allowed to distribute relief,
and inasmuch as the Ottoman gov
eminent has until now stoutly denied
that it's Armenian subjects were in
any need of relief, the concession OBJ
tanned from the sultan must be re-
garded as feather in the cap of our
minister at Constantinople."
Miss Barton's party consists of Miss
Lucy Graves, stenographer; George
III. Pullman, private secretary; Mr..
and Mrs. Ernest Mason, inguists and
interpreters, and DR.. j. B. Hubbell,
Admirers of Miss Barton-and their
number is limited only by the extent
of general knowledge Of her lifelong
efforts in behalf of suffering hu-
manity-will be interested in know
ing that while in Chicago recently
she sat for her picture for the first
time in 35 years. The portrait which
was copied from that photo
graph, and reproduced from the
Chicago Evening Post, shows her
kindly features to the world as they
are to- day, scanned by the hand Of
time, but still inspired by the warm
sympathy for the oppressed which
has made the symbol of the Red
Cross familiar and welcome on every
battlefield of the last third of CEN
fury.

Costuming an Immortal.

The exact price of an immortal"
costume is worth giving. The embroid-
cred coat of a full blown French aca-
demlclan costs 500 francs, the white cloth
waistcoat 20 francs, and the striped
trousers 10 francs, the plumed hat and
box are down for 50 francs, and the
sword, with scabbard, for 40 francs
total, 694 francs. 1t is irreverent even to
narrate that Rudolphe Sails, the poet
tavern keeper of the Chat Noir, recently
bought up the coats of deceased aca-
demlclans for his walters. The govern
ment, however, put stop to SO fragrant
a dissertation.

Every sleeping apartment should be
so arranged that current of fresh air
will enter and keep the air in motion
and pure all night; without this pre-
caution the carbonic acid gas exhaled
from the lungs will, in the stagnant
air, hug the bed from its own weight,
and spread over the sleeper blanket
of impurity, and the rebreathed air
will, before morning, be foul beyond
belief.

SHARE, AND SHARE ALIKE.

The worst family feuds are created
by inequalities of inheritance. 1t is
often the case that one of the family
coddles the old man in his last days,
makes mustard plasters for him,
keeps his catnip tea hot, turns up his
coat collar and pulls on his socks and
leggins, run their fingers through his
gray locks, saying how fine they look,
and tuck in the covers after he has
gone to bed, with reference to the in
heritance; so that the fondler of the
old man gets paid for his services at
the rate of about one hundred dollars
per poultice and fifty dollars per tuck.
Partially on your part is sin against
God as we'll as against your children.
If your children start life with two
hands and two feet and a healthy
brain, they tave grand fortune to
start with. Look out for those who

ed. If there be any favoritism let it
be in that direction. If you want all
your children to revere your memory
WuOn you dIS OCctd3 1ho pass INV Ii
your name with honor to other gen
erations, let them on that solemn day
when, after the obsequies have pass
ed, the family are called together to
hear the will read-let them hear the
significant phraseolOgy:
"My children are to share, &hd
share alike, and the children of my
deceased son to have in full wha t
would have been their fathers por-
ton -
The Surrogate's record of wills is

Turpentine will remove ironmold,

Many laundries habitually abuse chic

considering it quicker and handler.
Salts Of lemon and oxalic acid re-

way.
Ink stains, if not dry, may be cover

be removed by rubbing with salt and

Powdered French chalk will absorb

COMPANY MANNERS.

If people would only realize how
very easy it is to teach children good
manners when little, it seems to me
they would never neglect to attend to
it. The youngster is allowed to go his
own way, to violate every rule of
courtesy, sometimes of decency, until
his habits are, to an extent, formed.
Then there is great breaking up of
established notions, and the child is
punished and nagged and worried for
doing that which it has heretofore
been permitted to do without criti-
cism. 1t becomes angered, sullen, I'M
settled and irritable, and if it has
strong sense of justice-which, by the
way,is more common in children than
people, as a rule, give them credit for
it feels outraged and abused, and be-
comes unmanageable and reDellious.
The best school of maners for child
is the parents example and home
training.
Company manners are, by all odds,
tbs worst element that ever entered
into family. Just why people should
indulge themselves in all sorts of
careless, Indifferent and ill-bred hab-
its when they are alone at home, and
put on a veneer of courtesy, amiabili-
ty and polish when somebody comes,
is one of the many mysteries of this
very mysterious thing we call life.
How much easier it would be to main
tain the steady, uniform department,
TO follow out the same theories and
hold to the same principles Sunday
and week days, storm and shine, alone
or in society.
