Novel Drunkards' Legislation.

An Habitual Drunkard's bill introduced
in Parliament recently by the Bishop of
Winchester proposes novel methods of
protecting the wife and children of the
habitual drunkard by Furnishing saloon,
keepers who sell drinks to the habitual
drunkard. The bill proposes the establish
ment of a blacklist of persons declared to
be habitual drunkards, whose names are
to be notified to the keepers of licensed
houses within a specified area, with dl-
rection not to serve them, and also makes
the offence of being drunk when in charge
of child punishable by a special penalty.
The status of an habitual drunkard is ac-
uuired by man being within twelve
months three times convicted of certain
offences found by the court to be due to or
helped along by drink. In such cases a
man is to be declared an habitual drunk
ard. The order so declaring him is then
to be sent to all license-ho olders within a
certain area. and also to the chief police
officer for the district. Serving such
drunkard with Intoxicating drink renders
the license-holder liable to fine of $50 for
the first offence and to fine of 500 for
subsequent offences, the drunkard also
being liable to a fine of not more than So:
An alternative penalty is that instead OF
fning the saloon keeper Sl00, his license
be suspended for three months. The Ii;
cense of any salooI-keeper 80 convicted
is to be indorsed accordingly: From the
favorable consideration which this pro,
posed bill has received, it is considered
reasonably certain that some OF its feat
ures will become law.

Sad Indeed.

A pathetic story from real life is related
by an esteemed friend, who recently. visited
a distant city and looked up the home OF
two former schoolmates whom he had not
seen for thirty-ive years; they were broth
ers, and he found the older one at home
with the gray-haired, widowed mother.
The first glance into this home, the in
mates of which he remembered with Joy
and gladness, convinced him that the de-
mon of strong drink had wrought, havoc
within its walls. They talked over, bygone
days, which seemed to, caused the sad
M piest of her life; her son was under the
influence OF liquor, and this being apparent
caused the poor mother to be uneasy in
the presence of the visitor; just as he was
leaving the Younger son came in, reeling

How Parks Promote Education.

Parks and boulevards, streets lined
with trees and green lawn spaces are
not only a necessity, but are orna-
ments-a part of the city's dress suit
that no prosperous and well-built city
can be without. They are wealth pro-
ducing, which is proved by the higher
value in boulevard frontage and lands
bordering on parks. Conflning us to
parks, their educational value is great.
Here we meet the artist sketching or
painting, the entomologist in search
for new discoveries, the amateur gar
dener in pursuit Of more knowledge.
Spring and fall classes from our pub
lie schools invade the pastoral planta-
tions for botanical studies or to obtain
practical lessons in ornithology. Thus
the parks become veritable outdoor
college open to all, the Fairgrounds Of
the millions; rich and poor alike are
welcome to their balmy, health-produc.

Greatest Foe to Mankind - Filches 6
Billion Dollars q Year From Americans
The greatest robber on earth is that
which deprives US of the most precious
possession that man or woman can
have. And what is that? Is it a we'll
filled pocketbook, or a good bank account
30, for some of the poorest, most miser-
abe souls on earth have fat pocketbooks
and healthy bank accounts. Is it luxu'
rious home with all the modern adorn-
ments? No, for gilded cage cannot make
a happy bird, and in the most sumptuouss
home may dwell the most wretched OF
slaves-the slaves of vice and passion. Is
for the next wind of popular favor may

peare puts into the mouth of Cardinal
Wolsey.
The most precious possession which any
man can have is his own true, lndepend-
ent, self-respecting manhood, and the
greatest robber on earth is that which
robs man of that.
The most precious possession which any
woman can have is her own true, tender,
virtuous womanhood, and the greatest spe-
cifc evil on earth is that which deprives
women of that.
Monopolies are an evil W which American
people must grapple with, but even if all
that the most eloquent calamity how Ter"
in the world has said be true, what Is it
that the monopolies rob US of? Money,
goods, chattels, but not manhood. All the
monopoles Of all time can't rob one man
of his manhood or one woman of her wom-
anhood. Wall street can't do it. "a
mans a man for a. that They may rob
him of his home, rob him of his fair,

turn him out beggar and tramp, put
still "a mans man for a that" and II ne
