School Day Reverie.

How dear to my heart, seem past r~ecolec-
tons,
The days of my childhood seem like a re-
Election
Produced all at once, by the mirror of time
l can see how we studied, both meter and
rhyme.
How I loved that red school house in sun
shine and shower,
How ran when its bell was proclaiming
the hour,
How sped up the hill, when I thought l
was late,
Since TO become tardy, I always did hate.
l can hear my kind teachers, call unto me,
"Gus, pay more attention, more quick you be
As hear on this desk, you plainly can see,
The nice yellow fruit, from yon willow tree"
It's a wonderful instrument, with which
silence to gain
And when he would use it, give me a pair;
Next up by his desk, that's where l was put,
And that was the time, when l had to be
good.
AT noon we'd 60 swimming, in some near
by stream,
Or on the old swinging bridge, we could be
SEEM;
Up in the old belfry, we'd frequently climb,
Tie up the bell rope, to prevent the bells
cline.
We'd on a dark night, plug up the key hole,
Or in front Of the gate a large boulder we'd
To the near battle ground, sometimes we
would 60
Our teachers would seldom, our where
abouts know.
Those happy old school days, have all passed
away;
Like som Of my class mates, who were
jolly and gay:
Some have gone into business, some pro-
fession have learned,
Some far away travelled, and a fortune have
earned.
Some thought theye'd stay single, some
married that could,
And now tell their children how they used to
be good;
How they obeyed rules, when at school or
home,
And never from duty, or school they would
roam. G. c. X.

Doctor Saxton was a very learned

the utilities of urban life with his

years and more uncertain antecedents
as domestic in his family. And then
he strutted before his friends in the

This well known citizen also has q

"The first thing the man behind the
bar teaches the church is democracy"
said the Rev. Mr.. McNutt, addressing
the Woman's Christian Temperance
union in Boston.
He told of seeing subway laborers
in this city being driven off the steps
of a fashionable church on which they
sat to eat their midday meal, while, on
the other hand, he had seen barkeepers
treat them politely, and a sign in front
of saloon invited all to enter and
get "a free hot lunch"
The vieuX marcheur will smile at
this somewhat artless laudation of the
"barkeep," but there's 40 denying the
fact that many fastidious church folk
forget ST. Paul's admonition that high
est education, unstinted almsgiving
and faith sufficient to move mountains
profit nothing without that benevolent
kindliness of disposition which is am
biguously translated into our language
as charity. New York Herald.

Liquor In Various Countries.

Very much has been written on the
use of alcohol in England, France, Ger
many and the United States, but for
the most part by persons more or less
biased in their opinions. Very often
such papers have been inaccurately
written by persons entirely inexperi-
enced in dealing with statistical mat
ters, and hence they have very little
value to those interested in the real
facts. In the Fortnightly Review for
January, 1902, a professional statisti-
clan with more than twenty years eX-
perience, gives a short paper on this
subject, with a graphic representation
Of the condition of the drink question
in these countries. He finds that there
has been a steady increase in drink
consumption per head of population
during each five-yearly period from
1886 up to the present date. Compar-
ing the period 1S96-1900 and the period
from 1886 to 1890 he finds that the per-
centage of increase has been smaller in
Great Britain than in any of the other
three countries, while Germany and
France have had the largest relative
increase. In the United States, how
ever, the increase of 20 per cent in the
consumption of alcoholic liquors per
head of population is largely due to an
increase in beer drinking, while the
consumption per head of wine and
spirits has declined.
The current criminal statistics for
England record a material increase In
prosecutions for drunkenness during
recent years, somewhat proportional to
the increase in consumption of liquor.
Inc French drink more spirits, more
wine and have larger total consump-
ton per head than any of the other
three countries. Schooling notes as
most striking fact that the consump-
ton of liquors in the United States Is
very much lower than in any OF the
other countries. The American total
per head is less than one-half of the
total consumption per head in any OF
the other three countries.
The superior sobriety of the Ameri-
can workman, as compared with Eng
lishmen has often been noticed, and
observation in social grades higher
than that of the artisan tends to show
that American superiority in this re-
spect is general superiority not con-
fined to workmen only. Schooling be-
lieves that the developed alertness ana
prompt energy of the American may, 1t
is quite likely, be due in some part to
this relative abstinence from alcoholic
drink.

"The climax of all the Americanism
We saw in Europe came on the last
morning of our stay in Edinburgh,

the Ladies' Home Journal. "When the

the Plaza where there We're just 800
Scots, while on the west side stood
full 600 American tourists to watch
them. Instead of drks and halbreds,
which we went to see, we noticed rifles
made in Springfield. We watched them
drill with tactics adopted from West
Point, and when we looked for bag

1t is a most expensive temperance
work that the London county council
is at present carrying out, but it is not
designated as such, nor is the general
public well aware of the fact. Yet
within the last three years the Lon
don county council has devoted more
than $1,250,000 to the practical work
OF temperance.
1t is one of the consequences of the
extensive improvements being made in
London at present. When acquiring
property for the necessary widening of
different streets, many public houses,
with licenses and good will, come into
the possession of the council. These
properties are very valuable, but the
council, instead Of renewing them, for
premises in the neighborhood, is do
liberately giving them up, seeing, at
the same time, that nc new licenses
for these localities are issued
In this way the number of public
houses in London has been diminished
by 103, which were valued at $1.372,-
$50.

Law Forbids Golf Playing.

Scotland, as everybody knows, is the
land where golf originated and the
land where it most flourishes. But If
the law were strictly enforced north
of the Tweed 1t would go hard with
the players Of the royal game in Bon
ME Scotland" Golf players there may
not know it, but they are liable to a
sentence of death for their indulgence
in their favorite sport. Technically
this is literally a fact In ancient
times, when Scotland always had work
for her soldiers to do, all young men
were required to perfect themselves
In archery. They preferred to play
golf. and so serious a rival did the
game become that it was for time
suppressed and made a capital Of
fense. That curious law never has
been repealed, and may still be found
on the statute book. There seems to
be no record, however, of the law ever
having been enforced.

ErYatic Squaw Domestics.

Carson, the capital Of Nevada, is
probably the only city in the country
where the ''hired grip is a squaw.
These squaws are all designated by
the handy cognomen "Sally." "Sally"
opens the kitchen door without the for
mality of knock, and says "Mahayie
lwoman), you want work done?" Or,
simply, "Me heap hogadi," which signi.
fies that she Is very hungry and de.
sires to work for meal.
If you are an Eastern woman this Is
apt to frighten you into fits the first
time. But after bit you welcome
Sally gladly, and set her to scrubbing
the floor or washing the dishes or
clothes. Sometimes there is a Sally
who will come regularly for a weekly
wash day; but generally they will work
only when they are driven by hunger.
The squaws never stay in Carson
over night, and no Eastern woman
fails to look from her window at sun
set and watch them slowly making
their way along the tran in Indian
file to their homes in the forest.-

In speaking of the increase in the
number of cases admitted during the
year 1900 to the Royal Edinburgh asy-
lum, the physician superintendent, DR..
Clouston, in his annual report was un-
able to avoid the conclusion that this
was due to a large extent to the ex-
cessive use OF alcoholic stimulants dur
ing times of prosperity, attended with
brisk trade and high wages. DR.. Clous-
ton makes an earnest plea for legis-
lative or state means for the diminu-
ton Of alcoholism. He rightly con-
tends that it is an irrational applica-
ton of the doctrine of liberty to grant
to every man the inalienable right to
render himself burden to others and
a source of degradation and danger to
the community.-Ram Horn.

THE WAY TO ADVERTISE,
Some Points Well Worth Keeping In
Mind.

Some Points Well Worth Keeping In
Mind.
Advertising is not minor detail Of
Republican, nor may it be attended to
perfunctorily at odd moments. On the
contrary, it is of the utmost impor.
tance, and ingenuity and attention are
necessary in the composition and plac-
ing of every business announcement.
The "ad." is the merchants address to
the public, and as such it should be
prepared.
Advertisements must not be slurred
In the process of preparation. AS a
prominent writer says: Advertise
ments are statements OF fact made
attractive" Consequently, the matter
in them must be striking to the eye,
convincing to the reason and always
fresh in appearance.
The shrewd advertisers foremost
desire is to attract notice by an atten-
tion-compelling arrangement of ideas
and type. Next, what he has to say
must be said with elpquence and con-
NlhclliS losSlC.
The matter of the merchants ad-
dress must be changed frequently, else
1t becomes tiresome by reiteration and
turns aside the attention which it il
its province to attract. Freshness iu
an advertisement is as necessary as In
the goods offered for sale.
Above all, advertising must be con.
tinuous. The great secret of success
In business lies not in advertising when
everybody wants to buy, but in induc-
ing the public to purchase when they
are less willing.
The tactless business man quits ad-
vertising at the close of an unusually
brisk business period, such as the
Christmas holidays, but the exper-
fenced merchant does not interrupt the
continuity Of his address to the pub.
lie, knowing that with the close of the
active purchasing season the attrac.
ton of customers becomes more diff.
cult. He advertises then with as much
vigor as during the holiday rush, and
he gets the patronage the lack of
which the non-advertiser mourns.
The merchant who achieves success
advertises extensively, continuously
and with discrimination.

the floor of the prison Is on level
with that part of the house in which
Dietrich lived and is connected with 1t
by a passage leading from his room.
Through q slit in the heavy oaken
door Dietrich evidently passed food
and water to the prisoner. The cell
is seven by nine feet.
"The prison room contained no ar
ticle of furniture. A heap of straw
and rags in the corner served as a
bed. The key of the lock on the only
door leading into the room was found
in Dietrich's room.
"The finding of the prisoner was ac-
cidental and had it not been that two
of the men at The funeral went into
Dietrich's room the man in the stone
prison might have been left to starve
to death. These two men heard a
sound like the whining of a dog that
appeared to be very close to them.
The body of Dietrich lay in the front
part Of the house and the small process
sion was almost ready to start to the
graveyard with it. Seeing key hang
ing on the wall and noticing the heaVy
door leading into the stone room one
of the men unlocked it and swung the
door open.
Before them stood the poor fellow,
apparently in a starving condition.
The prisoner had not been fed for
many days, during the last illness and
after the death of Dietrich.
"a brother of Dietrich, in Texas, had
been notified of his death, and arrived
a few days after the funeral. He be-
lieves that the young man will learn
to talk, and that he may yet acquire
a good education. He has subject
for physical and psychological study
such as has seldom been known in the
world before, and has expressed his
determination to right the wrongs
committed by his brother so far as
may lie in his power"

Remember, above all. that the truest
thing ever said of strong drink is that
it is a ''mocker."
Every sensation that comes from

based on whisky is mockery. The
strength of whisky is mock strength.

friendships. How often have you seen
such hideous mockeries OF friendships

other protesting friendship eternal?
Whisky mocks hideously all the sacred
feelings in life and it destroys them
