There Is no other valor in the world that
even stands comparison with that displayed
by the woman called upon TO protect her
children from violence. There is no weapon
that a woman Will not WELD and no danger
that she will not dare. Itis before and after
their birth that too many women fail to
protect their children from the greatest Of
all dangers, the most blighting Of all inher-
itances-feeble and sickly bodies.
The woman who properly prepares for the
greatest even, of her life, motherhood i
who takes the right care Of herself during
the expectant period, and sees that she is

Grant Dougherty Again.

Grant DOugherty came near losing
his life 10 st. Louis Monday night.
He had been discharged from the hos
pital about a week previous after re-
celving treatment for morphine and
cocaine. Monday night he took an
overdose of morphine aud nearly died
before the doctors could pump it out
of him.
DOugherty is confirmed tramp
and cocaine 1end now. He began his
downward career in the Wellington
joints about twelve years ago. He
was an exceptionally smart fellow,
having good education and being
naturally bright, but an appetite for
liquor gradually led to morphine and
cocaine and now he is a total wreck,
OF unsound mind and body and a dis
grace to humanity. Some time ago
in Kansas City he was found sitting
on a curb stone trying to butt his
brains out on the pavement, when he
was taken to Jail and afterward order
ed out OF town. He went from Kan
saS City to St. Louis, where he has
given the police more or less trouble
with his insane actions.
By the way, the joints here are still
running and there are a number of
young fellows following in Dougherty'S
footsteps. Either the joints should
be closed or the youthful habitues
forced to remain away from them.

points of view. All the churches in
the city were represented, and the

The Christian Endeavor society of
the Congregational church gave a
mum" social at the church Friday
night. A small sum was charged for
ice cream and cake, and each person
who persisted in talking was fined one
cent. A great many of the ladies
were thus made to suffer untold tor

tendencies to the amount of pin
money they had at their disposal. but
the society cleared ABOUT $40 by the

before other questions can be seriously
considered. To fight each other in the
presence Of u united and INSCRIPTIONS en-
emy would not only postpone the restora
tion Of bimetallism, but endanger the sue
cess of every other necessary reform.
Continued cooperation between the
forces which acted together last year did
not mean that any one of the parties will
swallow the other two; it simply means
that they will travel together while they
can and separate only when they must.
1t means that they will place he success
,of great cause above the temporary tri-
Iumph Of any party and leave the future
to determine which organization is most
worthy Of public support. In this great
contest men are only valuable as they
