TO HIM WHO WAITS.
Summer Luxury of the Rich Is Shared

He was one of those ford individuals
with loud and arrogant voice who have
habit of participating in whatever
conversation happens to be carried on
in their neighbOrhood. The particular
dialogue which he interrupted was oc-
cupying the attention of couple of
men on an Illinois Central suburban
train.
They were evidently workingmen and
they were speaking of the unequal dis
tribution of wealth. The speakers
voices were scarcely audible. but the
loud man caught an occasional sentence
Abruptly addressing one of the speak
eTs, he roared:
DO you mean to tell me that the poor
haven't a fair chance?"
II mean to tell you nothing" was the
ready reply of the man to whom every
eye in the car was directed. Il am dis
cussing the problem of labor with my
friend and am not addressing my re-
marks to the general public"
This rebuff never feazed the cheerful
idiot opposite.

joinder, spoken in tone of quiet
irony.
Not noticing the interruption, the
interrupter continued:

this world if you only give it time. Give
'em time, that's my idea, and the labor

him.

Horse blanket Was Put Over the
kraut and the Speech Went On.
Congressman Doiliver, of the Tenth
Iowa district, has big tent which he
purchased from a stranded circus com
Eany and now utilities in his campaigns.
Last October, while making the round
of his district, MIR. Deliver reached a
town where it was too cold for an audi
cnce in the tent, an adjournment was
had TO a great grocery storehouse,
which was able to accommodate numbers
of political truth-seekers. In one cor
ner there was d barrel of sauerkraut
and near this great od-fashioned
stove, of the kind that will roar like an
elephant when the draft slide is pulled
clear back.
With a great fire the crowd began to
feel comfortable, and quickly enthused
under the eloquence of the Fort Dodge
orator. Everybody seemed to be I'M
mindful of the sauerkraut barrel. But
IN the midst of one of Mr.. Delivers elc-
quent lights his attention was dis
tracted by an Irishman who said he
rose to u point of order.
THE gentleman may state it," quoth
Mr.. Dolliver.
''Oi move you, sor," said he, that a
committee be appointed to place IA
horse blanket on that barrel of sauer-
kraut."
The barrel had warmed with the
growth of the fire, and an odor that was

nostrils of the faithful. The horse
blanket was secured from n neigh boring
stable and applied to the use designated,
after which Mr. Dolliver proceeded to

BEDTIME STORIES.
Good Results Attend a Nightly Diet of
Imagination Tales.

To send children happily to bed
should be one of the mothers most ordi-
nary tasks. No little one should dread
the bedtime hour, nor fear the dark,
Lor be allowed to go to bed under a
sense of disgrace or alienation from
household love. Whatever the child's
daytime naughtiness may have been at
nightfali he should be forgiven, and go
to rest with the mothers kiss on his
lips and her tender voice in his ears.
Hardly anything can be worse for Il
young child than to be scolded or pun
ished at bedtime. The mother does we'll
10 be a little blind to some things, re-
Numbering that good deal of childish
culpabilty is superficial only, and
washes off almost as easily as does the
dirt which the evening bath removes
from the skin.
The main thing with children is to
have them well started with good prin-
ciples, which they will carry through
life. Obedience, truth, unSeltishness,
purity, are essentials, and these can all
be lovingly cultivated, and will flourish
in the right home atmosphere.
When the nursery brood is undressed
and in bed, the lights turned low, the
room quiet for the night, the mother,
or nurse, or elder sister, or the kind
auntie. who is still to be found in some
fortunate houses, should have little
fund of stories on which to draw for the
small listeners pleasure before they
embark on the train for dreamland.
Fairy stories are always enjoyed by
children, and the literature of fairyland
is not far to seek. Imagination is very
active in little children, and OCCASION
ally one meets a mother who does not
understand the child's world. having
forgotten her own early days and their
illusions, or who is afraid that fancy
and its imageries will lead her child into
deceit. While the most exact and rigid
truthfulness should be practiced in
cur dealings with children, and they
themselves should be taught to shun
equivocation and every form of lying,
still we need not fear to let imagina-
ton give them pleasure.
They early learn to discriminate be-
tween the false and the true-or per-
haps it would be better to say that they
learn to find the truth wrapped up in
the husk of the story. Our fairy lore is
older than civilization. The same
stories, with variations, have in all ages
and climes been taught and told to
children, and they have their origin in
the needs and the heart of the race.

COULDN'T SEE THE NECESSITY.
He Didn't Think That the Bride Was
Needed.

1t is not to be supposed that the mis-
sionary's lot is always the happiest in
the world, but there are times when
there are incidents in it so full of hui
NOR as to make up for the troubles and
trials which are more common. Among
the stories in illustration of this point
is one that comes from a recent British
consul to Samoa, who states that mis-
sionary there was one day visited by Il
gcntle-looking youth, who asked:
please, sir, may | get married."
a day was appointed for the cere
mony, when, at the time named, APP
peared the youthful bridegroom, look
ing neat, shy and guileless; he was
asked to take seat and did so, blush
ing vigorously. ~ quarter of an hour
elapsed and there were no fresh ar
rivals; yet there sat the young man
without the slightest show of that
anxiety attributed to gentlemen about
to take the fatal plunge. At last the
missionary became impatient and asked
kim where the young woman was.
Who" said the youth.
why, the girl you want to marry!"
"Oh, she's at Safata!"
what" cried the minister. Have
You come here for me to marry you to
u woman Is miles off on the other side
Of the island?"
yes" replied the innocent; II didn't
think you would want her!"
He was sent away to fetch her and in
the course of a week returned to go
through the marriage ceremony in due
form.-Harper's Round Table.

an IRRATIONAL DECISION.
Missouri Judge Rules That a Man Has a
Right to Smoke Opium-His Decision
Reversed.

Reversed.
One of the most ridiculous decisions
(which has emanated from the bench in
recent years comes from the judge of
the criminal court of st. Louis.
In common with many other states
in the union, there is a law in Missouri
which prohibits opium smoking.
Against the justice Of such law there
car be no rational complaint, and yet
the judge of the st. Louis court takes
the position that it interferes with the
divine right If men to smoke whatever
they choose.
Since Opium is a rank poison, it is
nothing but right that statutes should
be enacted by the various state govern
ments forbidding its use as a substi-
tute for tobacco and in other pernicious
forms. Indeed, it is necessary, as we'll
as proper, that such measures of protec-
ton should be enacted.
While every American citizen is in
vested with certain rights, it is not
lawful for him to exercise his liberty
either TO his own detriment or to that
of his fellow citizen. Obviously, if every
man is allowed to smoke what he
pleases, he also has the right to drink
what he pleases. There can be no OBJ
lection to the second proposition, pro-
vided the first one is true As the first
one, however, is not true, neither is
the second. If every man was allowed
to drink what he pleases there could
be no punishment inflicted for attempt
ed suicide by means of poisonous liquids
and statutes providing punishment for
such offenders would be imperative.
Very properly, therefore, the su-
preme courtof thestate has reversed the
decision of the st. Louis judge and the
pernicious effects of his ruling are

CHILD INEBRIETY.

An Incident That Shows Dreadful
Thoughtlessness on the Part OF Some
Parents.
Mamma, why can't have a glass of
wine?" This was the question asked by
a bright-eyed, four-year-old youngster
IN one Of the restaurants of Chicago not
long since. My heart seemed to stand
still waiting orwhat answer the mother
would make.
The parents were apparently well-to-
do, intelligent people, who upon taking
their seats for luncheon had ordered
beer for the father and wine for the
mother. The lady sweetened the wine
to suit her taste and placed the glass in
front of the child, who slipped several
teaspoOnfuls, whenthe father remarked:
THAT is sufficient. That will give the
little man an appetite for his lunch
