GOOD HABIT SOCIETY.
It's Beginning and the Work 1t Is
Expected to Perform in the World.

Its Beginning and the Work 1t Is
Expected to Perform in the World
The Worlds Good Habit society is an
unique organization which had its ORR
Sin in Chicago, a poor peddler being the
moving cause.
1t seems that fruit peddler took up
his station at the noon hour beside
the doors of a public school house, with
intent to exchange. his wares for pen
MES; he parted with his fruit to be
sure, but as the children seized it with
out SO much as by your permission
and when he in turn expressed his opin
ion rather forcibly upon this highway
robbery, the boys fell upon him and
| despitefully used him, tearing his
clothes
This was the beginning of the Good
| Habit society, or the incident which led
! TO its formation
/ There are no fees nor dues connected
With the society. The oficers-presi-
J dent, vice president and secretary-give
( their services for the love of the cause !;
they willingly undertake to organize,
i Zee of charge, Good Habit societies in
any part of the land, and the boys and
girls becoming members, as said be-
=, fore, do not incur any pecuniary fobli-
| cations. They simply pledge them
| 5alVes. as follows:
t Il resolve, Cod helping me, to treat
with kindness those about me, includ-
'ling dumb animals. To use no bad Ian
tguage, neither to lie nor steal; to alb
stain from alcohol as a beverage and
( tobacco and opium in any form, and
Aganlbling in any form, and will favor
iarbitration.
Taking this resolution makes one a
Sfull fedged member.

adorned with the novel and handsome
ton sur ton embroidery, the flowers in
the design being of wool and stuffed
underneath, 50 as to give a raised eff
feet. The skirts of such suits are cut
so that seam runs directly down the
front and the fitness behind is some
times laid in two box Dlaits The fact
OF the matter is, that the seam down
the front and the experiment of cutting
the cloth on the bias is sure to become
very general fashion before long.
Without exception the plaid cloth
skirts are cut so, and in the cloth of a
solid color. The two plaits at the back
are usually ornamented their entire
length with traceries of black or dark
braid This last achievement in skirt
cutting is. really an unmixed blessing

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR.

New York Press: It takes three to
make a quarrel.
Man is the creature of circumstances:
woman is the creature of man.
One disadvantage in being an old
bachelor is that nobody ever sends
them turkeys.
Getting married is a good deal like
buying patent leather shoes A guar
antee never means anything.
Fem1ninity is lot like tobacco. A
girl reminds you of a cigarette. a wont
an of a cigar and a wife of an old
pipe.
The good people that think it is
wicked to let their children believe in
a Santa Claus are probably the same
ones that tell them if they eat the crusts
they will make their hair curl

The pretty badge which is given to
Zach one is a knot of narrow red, white
and blue ribbon, which, it is intended,
shall always be worn.
The Good Habit society does not in
serfere with other organizations, but
rather, completes them.
The vice president at large and cor
responding secretary, Mrs. e. Brookins
Prentice, who is now in New York, es-
tablishing branches of the society, is
admirably adapted for the work to
which she has given her life, says that
she hopes in time to see the World s
Good Habit society introduced into ev-
cry public school, Sunday school and
mission school.
Il find everywhere that it is the long
felt want, and so many great and good
men and women have become interest
ed that we hope great things.
I'VE believe in the formation OF char
acter as being far more profitable than
the reformation; each member is urged
to lend his influence to Christianizing
the world, and to try to follow out in 4
practical way the teachings of Christ.
If one visits the public playground,
Seventh avenue and Thirty-seventh
street, New York, the attendants, as
wells as many boys and girls, viii be
found wearing the badge of the Good
Order society.

Wheat.

RICHMOND, VA, Sept. 20, 1897.
December wheat sold in Chicago
recently at 81. 1t is 7c. lower to-
day.
Wheat should be a purchase;
for il is long since 50 poor crop
has been harvested abroad. Cour-
tries which usually export will
import. Argentina, our serious
competitor, is out Of the market.
Russia, Our greatest competitor,
has less wheat than usual. The
crop in the valley Of the Danube
failed
We are masters Of the situation.
Conservative estimates Of Euro
pean needs increase, while esti'
mates of our crop decrease.
In 1901 prices were high because
Of foreign demand. Our crop pro-
misses to be one hundred million
less than then. The worlds re-
quirements are greater. our ship
ments are as large; our stocks
smaller.
1t is probable that during the
next six weeks we will ship daily
nearly a million bushels.
Wheat IS cheap if this proves
true
