SHE TRUSTS HIM NO MORE.
He Never Takes His Youthful Son
Outside the House Alone.

There is not a prouder young father
on the South side, and yet so absent
minded is he that his wife scarcely con-
siders him fit guardian for his son and
heir when on the public highway.
On recent Sunday, however, the
whole family was under engagement to
spend the afternoon with some friends
who wanted to see the baby, and also
display a new book of engravings in
which the young father was greatly in
terested. \ severe headache prevent
ed the mother of the finest baby in the
world from accompanying the party,
and she saw, with many misgivings. her
liege lord start off wheeling the baby in
its carriage. She called him back three
times for further directions and sup
plemented them by others until her
voice was lost in the distance. Then she
went indoors to conjure up terrific
visions of what might happen if Henry,
absorbed in thought. forgot to prOpel
the carriage across a crowded cross
ing or allowed his offspring to smoth-
er himself in the folds of his own drap-
cry.
At five o'clock this pleasant train OF
thought. which had greatly aggravated
her headache. was interrupted by the
appearance of Henry, who, with many
gestures indicative of desire for ST
lence, wheeled the carriage into its
usual nook in the hall.
"Sh-h. he's asleep" he whispered.
I
"He's the best child l ever saw. Never
whmpered once on the way home and
slept most of the time I was there on
the sofa in the parlor while l looked at
the engravings."
80, Henry. dear. I'm so glad to hear
it. Now III not be afraid to trust you
with him again, and-do answer that
telephone. I'm afraid it viii wake
him"
\ smothered exclamation brought
her to his side in time to hear him
shrek: THE baby! Why he's here
in his carriage"
''No, he isn't" came the reply over the
wire. "He is on our parlor sofa, cry
ing with all his lungs. Do come at once
and get him, for he seems to be hungry
and the encyclopaedia doesn't tell what
to feed him. and
Then, Henry, whose child have yor
brought home instead of mine?'
shrieked his wife, Historically.
With one accord they made a dive fol
the baby carriage with its silent occu
pant. There under the fufftest of para
soils. lay the new book of engravings
with the embroidered coverlid careful
ly arranged about it.
Since that unfortunate occasion hi
never takes his son out for the short
Chicago Tribune.

RUSSIAN INEBRIETY.
Reform by Governmental Monopoly
of the Liquor Trnffic.


On January /, 1898, an interesting eX-
pertinent in the control and sale OF
liquor by the Russian government will
be inaugurated in Poland. This IL the
result of the apparent success of a sys-
TEN of government monopoly of the
liquor traffic which was inaugurated by
the late Gar Alexander Ill. in few
provinces in Russia. The Russian peas
ants are addicted to the use of alcohol
made from rye, called vodka. This
liquor is not only Intoxicating, but poi
sonOus, and it has been proved that
an INSCRIPTIONS class of dealers in
the vile fluid has been practically pau
Perizing the muiiks, or Russian peas
ants. TO counterfeit this evil special
board was formed to consider the mat
ter, and as result of the deliberations
of this body the Russian government
has undertaken to control the selling OF
wines and liquors. The system first
took effect on July /, 1896, in Bessar
abba, Volhynia, Ekaterinoslav, Keiff
Podolia, Taurida, Kherson and Cher,
nigOv. On the first of the present month
the system presumably went into eff
feet in the government of Wilma, vi
| tebsk, Grodno, Kovno, Minsk and Mog.
hiley.
The success attending the initial eX.
| pertinent has been encouraging, and
| the autocratic character of the Rus
sian government and the natural do
cility of the Russian peasant are favor
able antecedent conditions. The test
in Poland will be far more difficult as
well as more important and extensive.
Some of the rules, which must be dis
played in the government liquor sa'
| looms, plainly show the paternal and au.
tocratic character of the government
For example: purchasers of liquors
are required to take off their hats when
they come into the shop" NO picture,
portrait or publications of any kind
are permitted to hang on the inside
walls of a government wine shop, eX-
cept an image of some saint, the rules
for the sale of liquors and the regula-
tions of the excise commissioners"
Liquors are sold only for cash, and
are prohibited to be sold either on credit
in exchange for any kind of produce
articles, etc, or in return for loans
The experiment has not yet progressed
far enough to permit of definite con.
illusions as to its practicability; but it
is stated that data collected by the Rus
sian minister of finance and other Off.
Gals from the localities in which it is
already in operation show that the re
form works favorably and is appreci

THE CIGARETTE is DOOMED.
Growing Sentiment in This Country
Against Its Use.

There seems to be growing Sentl-
ment in this country against that most
deadly of narcotic poisons, the cigar
cite. Boys societies have been formed
in many places whose sole pledge is to
prohibit its use, and it forms one Of
the items in many another pledge
Even the legislatures in some of our
states are taking up the matter and
passing laws prohibiting its manufac-
ture and sale.
On the 14th of May an anti-cigarette
law went into effect in Minnesota, OF
which the St. Paul Pioneer Press says:
Its design is to preserve the youth,
and especially the school children OF
Minnesota from the deleterious intiu-
ences, not only of the cigarette, but OF
tobacco in all forms, so far as can be
done without encroaching on the right
full authority of parents in their own
homes. 1t makes the sale or giving
away of cigarettes or tobacco to any
person under IS years of age, or TO any
minor pupil in any school or college,
| punishable by a fine not exceeding $50
or by Imprisonment not exceeding 30
days, for each offense. Further, it au-
thorizes the arrest of any person under
Is, and any minor pupil, who may be
found smoking cigarettes in any public
place, and the infliction at the discretion
of the court of fine not exceeding ten
dollars or not exceeding five days i'm
Drisonment, for each offense. But
where the minor arrested gives informal
ton which may lead to the arrest of any
person or persons who sold him the
cigarettes or tobacco the court may
suspend the sentence against such
minor. Another provision applies to
persons who shall permit the use of
their premises by minors for the pur-
pose of indulging in tobacco, the same
penalties as for selling or giving away
the weed. This, of course does not APP
ply to parents who permit their children
to smoke in their own homes"
