Drink is the parent of crime. 1t
would not be too much to say that if
all drinking of fermented liquors could
be done away, crime of every kind
would fall to a fourth of its present
amount, and the whole tone of moral
feeling in the lower orders might be
indefinitely raised.-Charles Buxton,

In a study of the mortality of the
persons engaged in the liquor traffic
in Great Britain. it was found that
the wives and daughters of spirit-deal-
ers were more liable to inebriety and
death than of persons engaged in other
avocations. The mortality was even
greater than among bar-maids and
women directly engaged in selling
spirits.-Ju urnal of Inebriety.

trary, tending to the avoidance of
feebleness, which is the natural result
of an interval extended to too great
a length. Further, according to this
writer, feeble persons, those who are
always lean and emaciated, and, above
all, such as sufferers from insomnia,
owe it to themselves not to etire with

According to the bureau of labor
statistics the per capita consumption
of beer is very largely on the increase,
In 1880 the people of the United States
drank an average Of one and onehalf
gallons of beer per inhabitant. In 1896
they managed to guzzle down over IS
gallons each. AS there are a large
number of people who do not drink
beer it is re to assume that the aver

Few more impressive condolences

His story is so full of details that prove

power to dissimulate and its intended

First Girl.

Oh, how happy is the homestead
Where the temperance fairy dwells!
All IS peaceful and harmonious
AS the chime of evening bells.
But where drink doth bind its victims,
In a cruel deadly chain,
There is brawling, there is sorrow,
There is trouble, fear and pain.
Second Girl
There the little children tremble,
And the tiny feet are bare,
Every day there hangs the shadow
OF an ever-present care.
But the temperance home is gladstone
AS the days of golden spring,
For abstainirg means rejoicing,
And the pledge doth blessing bring.
First Girl.
When the wages at the tavern
All for fiery drops are spent,
On the home there cometh darkness,
Nought is known of sweet content.
Wife and little ones are starving,
illness, weakness, need Increase
While the hard-earned wage IS wasted
For the drink that endeth peace.
Second Girl
But when all are pledged abstainers,
Happy is the home and bright;
Shadows fade away and vanish
In the dawn of fairest light.
In the cupboard there is plenty.
Flow'rets wreathe the garden gay,
And the little ones are smiling.
All is merry as the May!
First Girl.
Oh. that drink may never darken
Home, sweet home" we love so well
May the shining temperance fairy
In our midst forever dwell.
Second Girl.
May our homes be homes of temperance,
Witnessing to one and all
Blessings, beauty, JOY and brightness
All good gifts to temperance fall.
Both
Drink we will refuse forever,
And where'er our steps may roam,
Well resolve through all lfe's changes,
Ours shall be a temperance home!
One and all be firm abstainers
Keep the darksome cloud away;
Let your homes be bright with temperance
Free from harmful drink for aye!

Parents Are Unfair to Teachers.

That existing methods of educating
the young fall short of the ideal there
is scarcely a.y question. The most
prominent ejrcators of the land admit
this fact Every effort is undoubted-
ly made to better prevailing systems.
But the fight is single-handed. AZ
teachers and educators constantly say:
1--WE are alone; parents give us no as
sistance. They do not even give us
the benefit of ordinary interest" And
this is Fundamentally true. Par
ents are all too lax about the methods
pursued in educating their children.
In hundreds of cases they do not even
know what the methods are. They
know nothing about them. There is
no cooperation of the parent with the
teacher. However much we may be
able to improve modern methods of co.
ucation, the best results to our chill
dren cannot be reached until parent
and teacher shall come into closer re-
lations than they are at present.

AS told in The G l o b at the time
of the girls disappearance, she was
living with her father in this city and
attending the Central high chOol. Edna
had lost her mother in early infancy,
and up to about a year ago had been
raised by her aunt, Mrs. De Wolf. AS
she grew up she developed an aff1iction
in the nature of curvature of the spine.
When Mr.. Smith learned that his
daughter was not receiving the neces-
sary medical treatment at Ptair:eville,
he decided to bring her to st. Paul and
to place her under the care Of skilled
physicians. Much trouble was encoun-
tered by Mr.. Smith in getting his
daughter away from Prairieville, as
Mrs. De Wolf, who is one of the fore
most members of Rev. PiXley's church,
refused to part with the girl, and young
Mr.. PiXley evidenced an unusual in

got his daught away from Prairieville
and brought her to live with him at his
home near Fort Smelling. Edna liked
ST. Paul. She was happy in her father $
home and took much interest in her
studies, particularly after she had en-

in its opening lines that the plaintiff

the action, Is that, knowing their power
to influence the people over whom they
had ecclesiastical Jurisdiction, with in
tent to injure the plaintiff, they caused

put to great inconvenience and has
suffered financial loss through the les

lions, and been prevented from making
advantageous commercial transac tions
through the distrust engendered by the

to his financial losses, the 1itigant priest
declares that he has sustained great in
