CHARACTER.

The supreme object of education
is the formation of character. It
is character that opposes evil and
accomplishes good. Character is,
shaped by instruction, built upon
morality, and morality is founded
upon truth. In the effort to pro-
mote morality by instruction the
success depends very largely upon
the spirit. If no more is claimed
than is proven, and the different
evils are clearly set forth and if
the teacher speaks with acurate
knowledge and profound con-
viction, the result cannot fail to-
be useful.
The use of spirituous liquor bhas
become general to all classes Of
society and the supreme evil that
comes from it's misuse is it's effect,
upon character and the moral
ruin it surely brings. The sub
ject of Temperance. however, is
somewhat too complicated to be
treated by me, but the effects Of
intemperence are seen and felt
every day of our lives. Conse-
quently our teachers intemperence
in this case has clearly and fully
demonstrated to us one Of the,
greatest evils that beset our char
acter and morality, and the re-
suit should not fail to be meal
culably useful.
In The MIRROR, not long since,>
some one spoke of the theory
that by proper and careful in,
vestigation a criminal faint could
be found in every man or woman
who has been convicted of crime
committed while under the in.
duence of liquor as ''rot." It's,
worse than that. It seems funny,
to me that men so educated should
use one or even many persons as,
a criterion on which to base such
an assailable theory, and herald it
to the masses as a fact. Every
man, if you bring him to the right;
point, will readily throw away the
whole game Of life in some mad
act out of harmony with all that
he has ever done. It matters little
whether he is aroused by accident
or blunder or design, he will burst
all bounds and establish again the
old truth that every man wifi
prove himself a fool if given the
right opportunity. Nor need the
occasion of this revolution be a.
great one. The most trivial event
may produce the great fire which.
burns up wisdom and common.
sense, prudence and habit.
"Sow an act, and you reap g.
habit; SOW habit and you reap,
a character; SOW character, and
you reap a destiny" DELANEY.

MAX ADELER's NEW STORIES.

4AhA hOGhGh . NEW O1OhlGOs
twenty-five years ago, when
elbow Room and "Out of the
Hur)ey-Burly'' were the successes
of the day, Max Adeler suddenly
ceased writing. For a quarter of
a century he was proof against the
Establishments Of editors, but
within few weeks he has COM
pleted now series of humorous
stories which show him at his
best.
Tales of Old Turley, which will
appear in early numbers of the
Saturday Evening Post, are
wonderfully droll stories Of the
quaint characters in an old-fash-
toned country town before the
IN KANSAS.
Col. D. R. Anthony, editor of
the Leavenworth, Kan, Times
made things interesting for
Ernest Castleberry, young actor,
a few days ago.
Castleberry entered the Office OF
the Standard, Col. Anthony's
building, where the Times is pub
lished. He declared his intention
of whipping the editor on account
of an article recently published,
severely criticising his acting.
He succeeded in overawing the
reporters present. AS he left the
Standard Office for the Times he
met Col. Anthony in the door Of
the Times office. Castleberry was
swearing, and large crowd had
collected. Col. Anthony ordered
him to leave, and the actor began
abusing him. The colonel seized 9

to his office. The actor followed
him and again began abusing the
editor, who is seventy eight years
old. Anthony seized a chair ano
lifted it to strike the young man
but the latter jumped through the
door and was later arrested by the
police.

THE IRISH WORLD SUPPRESSED.
An issue of the Irish World, q
publication that is 'agin" things
generally, was suppressed in
Boston Saturday because it re-
printed a cartoon from the Detroit
News derogatory to the American
flag. Fall River, Haverhill,
Holyoke, Lynn, Lawrence, Lowell,
Worcester and Springfield, Mass,
and Waterbury, New Haven and
Hartford, Conn, have taken the
same action.
The Boston police acted on the
initiative Of Augustus Bedford,
who says he is grand secretary of
the American Flag Protectors, an
organization which pays particular
attention to saving the flag from
being defaced or used for ad-
vertising purposes.
The inscription on the flag reads
as follows:
"The flag stands for liberty,
equality, independence, justice and
fraternity-if congress or the
president so will" The words "if
congress or the president so will
are inscribed on the white ground,
which is represented as patched
on the end of the flag, sif' being
of very large size.

representation of three children

woman residing at BeaI Brothers
farm near Delhi, Iowa, is police

farm and started to round up and
rustic off a herd Of fine young
porkers belonging to the place
Miss Clough was at home at the
time, and the vision Of the disap.
pearing dinners stimulated her
to such a pitch that she grasped a
repeating rifle and quickly covered
the marauders, ordering them to
throw up their hands. Still keep
ing them covered, she marched
them to town and delivered them
to the authorities.

DAY.
Prison Board The Board of Pris-
Holds Meeting on Managers held
it's last regular meeting on Monday.
Warden Wolfer reported a pros
porous month for the various
industries connected with the
prison. Thirteen inmates ap-
peared before the board and sought
paroles, and the following we're
given their freedom on that plan:
Daniel Crattle, Charles Zschau,
Charles Scheren, Thomas Duffy,
Charles Leias, Adolph Schultz,
Andrew Olsen and Samuel
Schaskle.
The board will hold one more
meeting late in July and will then
turn the affairs of this institution
over to the State Board of Control.
The prison population still
remains a little above the average,
being this week 541. OF this
number, 348 are in the first grade,
172 in the second and 81 in the
third.
During the past week Charles
Smith and George Ovens we're
given their discharge, while
Horace Norman, Mobiles Co., Ed
ward Haskins, Ramsey Co., and
John Reid, Hennepin Co., we're
received.
Rubber, Alias Goldie, alias Rub
'' '''~'' ber,' vicious
canary serving a life sentence in
The MIRROR Office, broke his pa
role and escaped on S eturday last
He is we'll known to be a desper-
ate character, and the police
throughout the country have been
notified of his escape. He will
doubtless be apprehended.
The escape occurred some time
during the early morning, prob
ably between the hours of five and
six. Fritz, who occupies cell in
the library, says that shortly after
Is o'clock Rubber came down
stairs and Knocked him, saying
that he could click him with one
hand tied behind his back"
Fritz attempted to call the atten-
ton of Guard began to the es-
cape, but was unsuccessful. After
insulting his fellow prisoner for
some time, Rubber was assisted
through the window by some
sparrows who were waiting with
out. His first act was to assault
a harmless earth worm. The
authorities have offered a weeks
ration of tobacco for informa-
ton leading to his recapture.
His description is as follows:
Height, 2 centimeters; height
when seated, l centimeter, 2 mil
limeters; length of foot, 2 MILL

audience, as indeed would have
been the case with a much more
critical one. Miss Golden was
accompanied by her sister, Miss
Laura Golden.
As the weather without looked
threatening when the program
was finished, the warden called
upon the entertainers to make
merry some more, which was done
with a right good will and the
fun was continued until the clouds
were dissipated.
In the yard, beneath trees
draped in red, white and blue, the
usual holiday festivities were
INDUCED in. There were races
and wrestling matches galore, and
those who did not take part in
the sports derived plenty of
amusement from them by looking
on. Some new talent was dis
covered along the dancing line
which made the old performers
look carefully to their laurels.
Warden Wolfer, Deputy Warden
Glennon, and in fact all the Off
Gals, did all in their power to en-
courage the men to enjoy them
selves, and their efforts were ap-
preciated by the men. At a
quarter to one the whistle sounded
the return to the dollhouse, and
the festivities were over for the
day.

Last December the city council
of Chicago passed an ordinance
compelling people to be honest in
their dealings and a commission
was appointed to detect and punish
violators of the ordinance. Since
that time the Official Tester reports
that he has condemned and de-
stroyed nearly 10000 false and ille-
gal weights, measures and scales.
Many of these were made inten-
tionally short Milk bottles an ounce
shy to the quart were in general use
and this item alone was costing
the people 81, 500 a day in Chicago.
Coal measures, grocer's measures
and all kinds of baskets, butter
moulds and other contrivances
were found to be designed to de-
fraud the unwary. Detectives
were sent out to watch coal delivery
men and they were caught selling
coal intended for customers and
regular traffic of this sort was
broken up, Scales were furnished
to consumers to weigh meat, ice
and other supplies sent to them,
and report all shortages. The or
dinance has been of great benefit to
the poor especially, as the rich who
buy in whole barrels and other
large quantities do not suffer so
much from dishonest methods. 1t
would not be a bad idea for all
cities to adopt this Chicago plan of
watching people to make them
honest.
