reminds me Of something that happened
i'm Tombstone AriZ., when that place was
the hottest hamlet on the whole frontier.
There were two factions in town at tne
time, and everybody predicted that Dig
pitched battle was liable to occur at any
moment. The split grew out of an old quar-
rel between the cowboys and certain SELF
constituted authorities, and was compll-
Gated by so many side issues that nobody
knew exactly what it was about. All that
was perfectly clear was that two good
sized crowds were zigZagging about town
waiting for some trifie to start the fracas;
Every member of both parties was armed
to the teeth and afraid to lay, aside ms
shooting irons for a moment lest ne ne
taken at a disadvantage. In addition 10
the regulation brace of 45-caliber Colts
most of them carried 'sawed-oH shot-
guns These weapons were very popular IN
Arizona in the early days, and were ordi-
nary breech-loadeps with the barrels ampu-
tated some eight inches above the locks,
making just about the ugliest machine tnat
mortal man ever gaZed into. When loaded
with half pint or so Of slugs II would XIII
everything in an acre lot except the man
directly behind the gun. Nobody ever
thought of firing the things from the shoul-
der but turned them loose at the NIP, ana
the modish way of carrying them was by
loop of clOtheSline tied at one END 70 the
belt and at the other to a ring in the breech-
plate. Local dudes used to go about Twill
ing them like monocles. We'll TINS armed
dent for over half a year, greatly TO the dis
gust of everybody. You see, each side car
ried so much personal artillery and kept
such a sharp lookout that none of them
cared to take chances on starting the row.
That was the way things stood when the
fire department got ready to give its an
nual ball. which was the great social event
of the year. The fire chief was a Keen
witted Irishman, and he thought the situa-
ton over and called on both factions
Look here boys he said In substance, you
all want to come to the ball, and you can't
do it with them scatter-guns hanging 10
you. If you happen to kick one OF waltz
ing you might massacre the whole orches-
ira and they're the only musicians IN
town So. why not let all hands agree to
unload everything until further notice
guns pistols knives and knuckles-and just
turn in and have a good time? III take
care OF the hardware and give each fellow
a check. This interesting proposition was
favorably received. and after considerable
ouibbling about the details an agreement
was drawn up and everybody peeled of his
weapons. There was a great sigh Of relief,
and the ball was the biggest success on
record The truth is Tombstone was sick
Of war and to the best of my recollection
the general disarmament continued for five
or six months. 1t was broken by a tynical
street duel. and then things got wild ana
woody again. 1t is certainly a curious un-
written page of frontier history"

The pestruction Of children.a Eres.

The land is filed with reformers of
various kinds. Some bright reformer
who is out of a job might do a praise
worthy work in organizing campaign
against the fine print used in text
books and children's literature. 1t is
quite common thing to see young
children wearing glasses. This is IN
natural and shows that there is some
thing wrong. What are the causes?
The main one is that most of our
school books are printed in too fine
type. IN this age of steam presses
and cheap paper, there is no cause for
the mistaken economy that attempts
to save dollar or two at the expense
of the children's eyesight. The eye
stands in very close relation TO the
brain. Whatever tires the eye tires
the brain. Many school houses are
imperfectly lighted. A we'll lighted
room should admit the light from the
left only.
A fat topped desk is not favorable
to easy light. AS far as possible, we
should look squarely at things.
Teachers and parents require children
to do much home study. | think this
is bad practice except in case of up
per room pupils, and even then we are
apt to require too much. Burning
midnight oil" may be very pretty and
poetical, but if done at the expense of
nerves, eyes and brains it doesn't pay.
| once stayed over night with a most
excellent family. | noticed that one
of the daughters was busy with her
general history; the main point of the
lesson being to learn how to spell the
names of about twenty defunct Greek
gods, and cross roads politicians of
twenty five years ago. The young
lady already wore glasses, but at the
rate she was then going would soon
not need even these; she would be
blind! We shudder in reading about
the heather sacrificing their children
to Baal, but in our midst we set up a
Moloch at whose shrine the nerves,
eyes and brains of thousands of school
children are permanently injured and
in many cases destroyed.
When will we feel that education is
a growth requiring time? That the
aim of our school work is to train the
child to think wisely, to act nobly and
to feel kindly; that the main thing in
school life is not to graduate as soon
as possible" That more rational
ideas about these matters are abroad is
fact which will give hope to many a
long suffering pupil. W. G.

OUR friends, the Democrats, have
been having very interesting time
trying to find a platform that will
support the whole outfit, and just as
they think they have made the longed
for discovery and are beginning to pat
each other on.the back, up hobs the
irrepressble Croker with an alarming
coup. 1t was only week ago Monday
evening that the caucus of the House
of Representatives, including the Tam
many members, adopted resolution
favoring the evacuation of the Philip
pine islands. Now, according to re-
ports from New York, Mr.. Croker, the
Tammany leader, is making vast
preparations for a magnificent expan-
sion banquet. Judging from arrange
ments the coming function is to be the
most elaborate yet on record. Invita-
tions will be issued to 1000 guests.
Mr.. Croker himself will have charge of
the program of toasts and will see to it
that they proclaim expansion as good
Democratic doctrine, with Thomas
Jefferson as the original American ex-
pansionist. All the speeches will be on
the red hot expansionist order. Many
of the old friends will not be present
Cleveland, Bryan and Hill, together
with a good many others who used to
be hand in glove with Croker, will be
conspicuous by their absence. But
Richard will show them that he is per-
fectly able to give a party without
their assistance. There is considerable
conjecture among the Democrats as to
the significance of the Tammany chiefs
action. What significance it may have
to Croker himself is immaterial, but to
the people it only signifies the over
whelming popularity of expansion,
Croker is a politician. He is not led
by conviction, but by policy. He may
or he may not be personally in favor of
expansion, but with a trained eye he
can see the inevitable course which
events will take. The convictions of
the mass of the people govern his con-
duct. These convictions he has learned
with quick perceptibilities, to be for
expansion. He has acted accordingly
and as a consequence stands today
with the mass of the people and in
support of the administration.

THE great benefit resulting to Keno
sha from the successful issue of the
river and harbor bill is so patent that
it muc appear to all at the first
glance. But while we are rejoicing in
the acquisition it behooves us to bear
in mind to whom We are indebted for
it. Hon. 81. A. Cooper. of Racine, has
labored long and arduously for the &C.
complishment of this good to Kenosha
Since the beginning of his career as
Congressman from this district he has
worked honestly and capably for those
he represented and has never forgotten
the demands of this county and city.
Other claims which in all respects had
precedent over ours he attended to
first, but all that he was able to do
under the circumstances was done.
That Kenosha people were highly sat-
isfed is witnessed by the fact that they
have stood at his back at each success
sive election. When the time was ripe,
however, be took Kenosha's pet hobby
into his keeping and rode it success
fully through Congress. There were
many unpleasant and determined OBJ
structions in the way which time,
patience and a great deal of hard work
were required to overcome. They were
surmounted, however, and the honor
and gratitude due the Hon. 81. A.
Cooper for his endeavors in our behalf
is proportionate to the vast benefit
which we shall derive from the success
of his efforts.

WOULD CLOSE EN- ALL
FIGHT TO BE MADE AGAINST
SUNDAY SALOONS.
NEW APOSTLE OF TEMPERANCE
Norman Baker Will Attempt a
Fight Against Liquor Dealers who
Violate State Laws.-Michael Link
the FIRST Complained Of.

A new apostle of the cause of tenn
perance has been found in the person
of Norman l.. Baker, and today he
announces that he has begun fight
against all the saloons in the city who
are violating the state laws, by keeping
open on Sunday and unless this practice
is stopped at once, many of the liquor
dealers will find themselves in the
police courts.
The fight of Attorney Baker is not
made on behalf of any body of tenn
perance workers in the city, but his
action is brought wholly for private
reasons and as a private citizen. The
first complaint in the long list, which
is promised to follow, was filed this
morning against Michael Link, who
keeps a saloon at the corner of Milwau-
kee avenue and Lemon street.
Attorney Baker was seen today by a
representative of this paper, and in
speaking of his action said: am
only making an attempt as a private
citizen to see if the laws of the state of
Wisconsin can be enforced in the city
of Kenosha. | am disgusted at the
action of the breWeries in this city.
They have grabbed nearly every fine
building site and are carrying on their
business in many cases in a disorderly
manner, regardless of the rights of The
people who are forced to live in
proximity to their saloons. A few days
ago complaint was made to one of
these saloon keepers by an old gentle
man residing next to the saloon, that
he was unable to sleep at night on
account of the riotous noise from the
saloon, and the keeper of the house
retorted, that he hoped the old man
could find time enough to sleep during
the day. propose to see, continued
Mr.. Baker, if the rights of the saloons
are such that their keepers can prevent
the citizens from enjoying their rights"
The case against Mr.. Link is brought
as a starter and it is said to have been
brought about by recent suit in the
Circuit Court, IN which the saloon
keeper and Anton Hennes were the
principals. Hennes sued the brewing
company represented by Link, for
damages on the charge that the de.
fendant's saloon had greatly reduced
the value of his property. The case
was settled QUITO court, and, according
to Mr.. Baker, the defendant has not
fulfilled his part of the agreement.
In regard to action against other
saloons the lawyer said he did not
mean to discriminate, but would file
claims against every saloon that he
found open on Sunday, and that when
ever he secured a conviction he would
ask the City Council to revoke the IL
cense of the guilty parties. The law
would undoubtedly sustain him in his
actions in fning the dealers who violate
the State laws by keeping open on
Sunday, but the Supreme Court has
held that such offense is not sufficient
for city to revoke the license of the
dealer. The result of the first case,
against Michael Link is being watched
with great interest by both saloon
keepers and temperance agitators and
some interesting times are anticipated
if Mr.. Baker follows out his plans for a
crusade.
