There is a pleasant little story about
a party of drummers sitting in the
smoking-room Of a sleeper talking
about trade. One after another had
told about what sort of trade he'd been
having, and they'd all been doing well;
but the last man Of all, when it came his
turn, said he'd made only one sale in
six weeks. The rest started in to SYM
pathize with him a little on this, but
when they came to ask him what busi-
ness he was in and learned that he trav-
eled for bridge-building establish
ment, and that his last sale was steel
bridge something less than mile long
for about $780, 900, they agreed thathe
wasn't doing so poorly after all

T.. Curfew Bell.

Curfew, which rings children under
sixteen years of age home at eight in
winter and nine o'clock in summer, is
already in vogue in oyer two hundred
towns and cities. That of Topeka,
Kansas, is representative. 1t provides
that all children found on the streets
or in public places unaccOmpanied by
guardians, shall be arrested and fined
not less than 50 nor more than S25.
The fire bell rings every evening fifteen
minutes before the time.
The sufficient argument for the gen
eral adoption at once of this ancient
custom, if any were needed more than
what every one sees of an evening, is
the fact that q recent gathering of
doctors from all parts of the land, on
comparing notes. agreed that every
where impurity is increasing apace
1t is the sheerest folly to imagine that
a child habitually upon the streets at
night witnessing sights its young life
should never dream of, can develop
into pure maturity and honorable citi-
zenship.
Can you friends, fathers, recommend
anything better to do, in a public way
at this crisis, than signal from bell
at or nine o'clock in the evening for
children unaccompaned by chaperons
to go to their homes for the night?
viii you unite with us in pleading
with the authorities that curfew bells
be rung each night? A MOTHER

Prof w. w. Boyd appeared before
Council and asked their attention to d
moral question of the city. On behalf
of the w. c. T. T., he presented a pc
tition numerously signed, asking the
passage of curfew ordinance
paper Item.
The lads ana lassies were out at play
At the close of a long hot summer day
The mothers watched with approving delight
Saying, "Curfew must not ring tonight
1.-The day has been one of terrible heat,
Eriving the children at play from the street,
And, now, with the sweet, cooling starlight,
Curfew must not ring tonight
T'is winter, cold, bright, snappy day,
In the midst of the joyful holiday
Streets are CLASSY, the moon most bright
And Curfew must not ring this night.
Schools are closed, children must play,
And make the most of a short holiday,
This the law, and the chidrens' right,
And, Curfew must not ring this night
In modern years, why should the state
The care of children from parents take:
Does it not seem there is no call,
That the Curfew should ring at all.

PUNCH AND JUDY.
The Origin of This Ever Popular Enter
tainment.


Generations of children have found
pleasure in witnessing the antics of
Punch and Judy, and the mimic the
ater in which their adventures are dis
played still gives amusement TO both
young and old The origin of this al
ways attractive entertainment is not
English, as many who have enjoyed it
may suppose, but according to an old
book, Punch and Judy are of Italian
ancestry. In the district of Acczza,
near Naples. the people arc very much
addicted to the making of wine from
grapes; and it is curious that from
antiquity they have been famous for
their love of droIl wit ard comic fun.
Many years ago in the season of the
vintage, which is time when every
body seems to he full of fun and frolic,
soEc comic players came along
through Acczaa. They began to poke
fun at the v:ntagers, and in war of wit
the players got the worst Of it.
Now. there was among the vintagers
Il fellow with an enormous red nose,
lorg and crooked like powder horn;
und lie was the very drollest and wit
test Of the whole company. The play
crs were so ric!lled with his witty say
inGs, all set Oft by his odd face and very
queer air and monner, that they almost
went into Mysteries with laughter.
After they went away they began to
think that this droll fellow would be a
great success to their company; so
they went back and made offers to him.
These he accepted; and such was the
success of his efforts that the company
acquired great fame and great deal of
money. Everybody went to see this
witty buffoon and all were delighted
This example led to the establish
ment of a droll or buffoon in all COM
panies of comedians; and he was al
ways called after the original one,
whose name was Pucco d'Aniello. This
was, in the course of time, softened into
Polecenello; the French made it Po-
lichenel, and the English Punchinello.
After a time the English, for the sake
of brevity, left OF the latter part of the
word and called it plain Punch.
Hoy Judy originated, history does
not record; but it is very easy to sur
rise her story. Such merry fellow as
Punch had as good q right to a wife as
anybody, if he could get one. Why not?
One might think that his beet-ilic nose
would have stood in his way of finding
Il woman willing to marry him; but his
wit was m Offset to this. Women are
fond Of wit. and Punch would have

IF COULD WRITE

If l could write as authors write,
I'd tell about an angel band
That sang hymn one winters night.
OF peace on earth, good will to man,
And all about the shepherds fear
When first the choir began to sing
"Be not afraid-be of good cheer,
Glad tidings of great joy we bring.
I'd tell about our dear Christs birth
And why the Savior come to be,
And of his trials here on earth,
From Bethlehem to Calvary
I'D never lay the pen aside
Till every boy and girl would know
Just why we have a Christmas tide,
And Santa Claus, with face aglow,
Who comes each year with glad surprise,
With bats and balls and fancy sleds,
And baby dolls with blinking eyes,
And frizzled bangs and curly heads
And many other childish toys,
I'd like to tell about tonight.
To fill each anxious heart with JOY

Taken in Time,

Hoods Sarsaparilla has achieved great
success in warding off sickness which,
if allowed to progress, would have I'M
dermined the whole system and given
disease a strong foothold to cause much
suffering and ave threaten death.
Hoods Sarsaparilla has done all this
and even more. 1t has been taken in
thousands of cases which were thought
to be ~incurable, and after a fair 6rial
has effected wonderful cures, bringing
health, strength and joy to the af-
dicted. Another important point about
Hoods Sarsaparilla is that its cues
are permanent, because they start
from the solid foundation of purified,
vitiliZed and enriched blood. But it is
not what we say but what Hood's Har
saparilla does that tells the story.
