INJUSTICE TO HELPLESS INNO-
CENTS,

Programmes of school commandments
and lists of graduates are now burdening
the mails. These programmes and lists
will afford an interesting study to the
thoughtful person who will examine them
1t will be noticed that they are literally
besprinkled with such names as ''Mayme."
Birdie" 'Edyth," BLOSSOM" Jewel"
"Dollye," Pearl" and other misspelled
and silly names. which must cling to the
unfortunate young people for life. Why
do parents give their children such names?
Why is there more froth or frills in pres
ent day personal nomenclature than there
was in the days of the grandparents of the
| generation which is now attending or
leaving school? Fifty years ago no one
ever heard of ''Mayme," or "Dollye," and
the parent that named a child Jewel or
"Flossie" would have been apt to hear
something from the pastor of his or her
congregation, or some other Interested
friend.
do you know why have whipped
you?" said father to his whimpering Off
spring one day. Yes, sir?" replied the
/ Ciiiius ny was IL DSNaust SOb dit
bigger'n me-" Is ii for the same reason
that parents infiict upon their children
names which they will be ashamed Of
when they grow up? Do they give them
foolish names because they are 'bigger'n''
the children and the latter cannot help
themselves?'
A sweet. rosy-faced. laughing. high spIr-
tied little girl. loving and kind, may in
deed be a jewel in the estimation of her
parents. But that is no reason why they
should bestow the name OF Jewel" upon
her. If the child lives, she will not stay
a little girl many years. Before great
while she win be young woman, and
after that an old woman. Just imagine
Jewel" or Birdie" aged 50. the mother
of eight or ten children. weight 175.
waist-hne marked merely by a crease and
overhung with fat. slippers No and run
over at the heel and teeth all gone! All
women by far, do not look that way at
the age named, to be sure; but one has to
take account of the possibilities. There
is no way of making it sure that one win
grow old gracefully. Meantime. the we'll
balanced adult with one of those fancy
names would in an likelihood be ashamed
TO tell it.
Parents have the legal right to name
their children anything they please but
have they the moral right to handicap the
helpless innocents, their offspring. With
names which will cause their acquaint-
auces to smile in derision at them in the
wears OF their maturity?

TactfuI Messenger Boys.

zone of the beautiful traits in the make
up of Washington messenger boys said
railroad man who lives in Washington,
according 10 the Post, is their tactful-
ness, | think otherwise. They are chock
fun of and loaded down with tact-with
the copper on. To illustrate:
My wife went over TO New York few
weeks ago to attend the bedside of 4 St
riously Ill relative, who was not expected
TO live. This morning l was sitting IN
my office, wondering why l didn't get a
letter from her by the first mail, when a
tousle-headed messenger boy joggled open

the death of our aged relative or the
decease of my wife. II happened to be the

A BeIated story of old Rome.

It was noon in Rome, high noon, and
Nero had sent his emissaries forth to var
GUS parts of the city prepared to carry
out his incendiary orders, says the New
York sun.
When he had seen the last one depart
he adjourned 10 the lofty summit of his
tavorte tower, taking with him his Slradi-
Harlus and a numerous collection of cold
battIeS and hot birds, for at this time
Nero had resigned from the w. c. T. L.
aud was even opposed to it in his mild
way.
Al O'Clock, standard time The Emper-
or went out upon the barbican and cast
his eagle eye around the horizon Moth
ing save the blue hills beyond the Cam
pagna marked the sky line and the buf
Italian armament rested like a great arf
of fiawless sapphire above the capital
A froWn rested beneath the golden crown
that the Emperor had put on, but he said
nothing to those about him.
After short retirement for drinks. he
returned to the barbican and once more
swept that eagle eye around he horizon
Family here and there arose HtGe cloude
Of smoke as If The Roman popuace in
their humble homes Were beginning r.
prepare for their evening meat. But Nero
knew what those lines of smoke meant
ness that had for the past ten years beer
so characteristic of his smiles.
He retired from the barbican, and in q
moment was again upon it, this time with
his fiddle in his hand-his well beloved
fiddle, the fiddle that Nero has mads
famous. Seating himself and beginnfne
to tune the instrument, he called for MS
music, for Nero had never been able Il
learn to play without his notes.
What shah | bring you, Sre?" asked
a waiting vassal.
"Um-er-er." replied Nero. as he rubbed
his chin unctuouSly and closed his eve

And Nero fiddled.

Lately we have heard good deal about
the use Of kerosene for laying the dust
on streets and roads. The Pennsylvania
Railroad is using oil along It's tracks, and
is said to be getting good results. The
city of Jacksonville, ii is reported, has
sprinkled some OF its shelled streets with
oil and is well pleased with the result
Would il not be a good idea to do liz
tie experimenting of the same sort in sa-
vannah? There are still a few shelled
streets in the city, and the dust from
them sometimes is very disagreeable. not
to mention being destructive of carpets
and curtains in nearby residences. One
such street, on which there is good deal
Of traffic, is CASTOR. If few gallons of
kerosene sprinkled on that street would
effectively lay the dust, we feel sure that
The people who live on IL would be CRATE
ful to the city authorities if they would
put the sprinkler to work at once.

marked: Fragile" With Care" etc.
Thinking thar some of his friends were
sending him substantial present, he had
the box carried into the house and paid

it was found to contain large stone

was written:

MORE vIGOR DEMANDED IN THE
WAR

WAR.
The President went West to fnd out
whether public sentiment favored de-
manding the Philippines from Spain. Has
he gone East to discover what public
sentiment demands relative TO the war
in those islands II so it is probable he
win return with the impression that the
people want the war brought 10 close
as quickly as possible. 1t is costing a
great deal OF money-as much, 1t Is said,
as s., 100000 a day-and many lives. Thus
far about 24O men have been Kill
ed in action, 70 have died Of
wounds, and 80 have died OF dis
ease contracted in the line of duty.
The rainy season has just begun, how
ever, and unless the greatest care is
exercised the death rate is likely TO be
large.
If the newspapers express the senti-
ments of the people the President would
command popular approval If he were TO
greatly increase the army under Gen.
Otis. The belief is gaining ground that
the war isn't being prosecuted as wigor-
ously as IL ought to be. It began last
February, and yet there are no signs
that il is near it's end. Our army holds
less territory now than Il did then. 1t
Is true that Gen. Otis has gained many
victories-has, In fact, . been vic
torious in every engagement-but as
matter of fact, little has been
accomplished. The fear is that the
war will assume far wider pro
portions. If other tribes of the Islands
which haven't joined IN the Instruction
get the impression that We are not able
to cope with the Tagals-the tribe which
IS now doing the fighting.
We have been compelled 10 retire from
territory which We had captured because
Gen. Otis didn't have men enough 10
garrison it. All Of the country in which
the fighting of the last few days has
occurred was In our possession when Ma
Mia surrendered. Pretty nearly all of
that part Of the country north of Manila
which we at one time occupied after
many hard fought battles. is again held
II
Manila and its suburbs.
The belief seems TO be that Gen. Otis
needs about twice as many men as he
has, and the country would be better
pleased if the President should send TO
him all he could use to advantage, so as
to bring the war to an end at an early
day.
Count Cassini, the Russian ambassador
to this country, speaking Of the Philip
pine war the other day. said that he
had lived in Manila, and was well ac-
quainted with the Tagals. He expressed
the opinion that the United States have
a much more serious task to accomplish
than they seem to realize. The Tagals,
he said, are a fierce people and there
are 100000 of them instead of
5000. 600, as was generally supposed.
They will have to be thoroughly
to do much in the islands. The am
bassador said that the United States
would conquer them in time, but not so
soon as was expected when the war be-
gan.
The sentiment of the country seems
we cannot. withdraw from them until our
authority is recognized. Therefore the
sentiment Is in favor of a more vigorous
prosecution of the war. 1t will be econ
omy from every point or view 10 give Gen
Otis double the number of men he has
said he could get along with if he can
use so large an army advantageously.
