there would soon be revolution that
would change the standing of society
upon this matter. If boys were brought
up as girls are the standard of purity
would soon be raised. She appealed

a higher standard of social purity and
said that when such standard was
brought about, the work of the divorce
courts would be greatly lessened.

DEwEY's PRIZE MONEY.
Court of Claims Cuts II Dows More Than
One HAlf.

One MALI.
Washington, Feb 27@The United
States Court of Claims yesterday rem
dered an opinion on the claim OF Ad-
miral Dewey, his officers and men for
naval bounty under Section i,635 of
the Revised States for the destruction
of the Spanish fleet In Manila Bay
May /, 1898, the court holding that the
claimant has a right TO recover for
each person on board the enemy's
ships the sum of S10O.
This decision is upon the basis that
the admiral's fleet was superior to the
teries, the torpedoes and the mines in
Manila Bay.
Admiral DeweyS claim was for 500
for each man belonging to the enemy's
fleet, including the supporting shore
batteries. mines and torpedoes.
The principal question involved in
the case was whether, in determining
the eneny's force, the supporting shore
batteries, mines and torpedoes should
he included. Taking into consideration
the guns at Corregidor, Ell Fraile and
other forts al the entrance of the bay
and those at Manila and Cayite, and
the torpedoes and mines in the bay
and entrance 10 It. II was contended by
counsel for Admiral Dewey that the
enemy's force was superior TO the yes
sells of the United States.
The government insisted that the
statute failed 10 provide for the con-
ungency of the cooperation of land
batteries with the naval forces de-
stroyed, and that the court is powerless
To supply the omission.
The court, in deciding the case. held
;hat the law applied only TO the force
of the vessels engaged in the action,
and that in this instance, taking the
number and character Of the vessels
into account, the strength Of their bat
teries on board and all other matters
which properly go TO the determination
of the actual fighting strength of the
two opposing fleets, that of the United
States was The superior.
II is understood that counsel for Ad-
miral Dewey will take an appeal to
the Supreme Court Of the United
States. Under to-day's decision Ad-
miral Dewey is personally entitled to
$3.50.

U. S. Bond. Have . Great Boom.

New York, Feb. 2T.-Government
bonds went up n full point to-day. and
the price of AS of 1907 and 1925. with
the five per cent. bonds. reached a
higher level than any touched last
year The demand was ascribed to the
belief of individuals and corporations
that there will be unusual call for the
bonds when the refunding law goes
into effect. and the banks are allowed
TO issue circulation up TO par value of
the bonds.
The four per cents. OF 1925 reached
to-day the highest price in their history
and the fours OF 1907 the highest since
1871, when the government was still
buying bonds heavily. Part of the
heavy borrowings from the bangs has
been attributed to operations with n
view TO this future demand and some
of the banks have made purchases for
the purpose.

The litigation which the cattlemen
inaugurated recently will he pushed

Of the Transvaar' and described the

warning came too late and the world,
as consequence, has seen during the

1t is curious how a conviction tends
to become deep and strong by reason
OF the fact that 1t is entertained. 1t
seems to possess the power OF the seed
to send out shoots and become rooted
in the mind, and ultimately to yield
to its fruitage. Indeed, except for those
rare natures that have the power on
the instant OF coming to the firmest
decision, the element of time is an i'm
portant factor in the strength of our
convictions. While we are completely
occupied in other things our beliefs
and decisions are unconsciously grow
ing, and we find. perhaps to our sur
prise, that the opinion of month or
two ago has become a controlling con-
vlction. Parents are often discouraged
because noble ideas appear to arouse
so little response in the inner lives OF
their children. But there is no reason
for discouragement. II they will recall
the time factor in the formation of
their own characters. they will have
an abounding faith in the gradual
deepening OF convictions through the
processes of life. The good seed that
falls on good ground needs only to be
let alone to produce a good harvest.

Though fifty times you've told him

Leaving footprints on the floor,

And stone-bruises that she has TO doc

There are toes that have collided with

And there's music in the cleaning when

His mother says she'll whip him;
The hired girl won't skip him,
There's bound to be an everlasting row.

With his dusty, grimy, undiscovered

He says his daddy never learned him

For Willie, since he's going barefoot
