the natural affection common to us all
as the father realizes that his exam

slowly but surely undermining the fair
fabric Of his future prospects.
6. Another reason Is the stern fact
that drinking, even moderately, units
us utterly for Christian usefulness. No
earnest soul wants me to point him to
Christ with the smell Of alcohol on my
lips. And I have no right to complain
Of this. 1t Is no narrow prejudice. No,
but rather one Of those primal instincts
Of our nature that are as true as the
needle to the pole.
Full Of boundless significance Is the
fact I will now relate: The Church Of
England has temperance society that
Is composed Of two sections; those who
take the pledge Of moderation" and
those who take the pledge Of total alb
stinence,:" but the rescue section"
those who go out after the lost and
fallen, are entirely from the ranks Of
the teetotalers! I ask you to think OF
that. and decide in which class you
will place yourself.
Before leaving this part Of our sub
ject let us consider total abstinence In
a little wider use Of the term. l speak
of the family custom and Of the fam
lily pledge" Let US not only practice
total abstinence as individuals, but let
us see to 1t that ours are total abstin-
ence homes. Let there be no decanter

The Modern Criminal.

But how easily the swindler can play
upon the cupidity Of his dupes Is best
shown in the two cases that have been
filling the Paris papers.
Boulaine. the Paris banker, whose
escape quite recently from the police
officers is supposed to have been con-
nived at, conducted his operations in
the most open manner.
He had four banks in Paris, one Of
which had offices in Lyons and Mar
seilles. When he started in business
he was not merely penniless, but quite
illiterate. He could hardly read or
write. He dazzled people with his
splendid style Of living, and excited
their cupidity by suggesting that they
could become as rich as he.
Boulaine understood the importance
Of paying cash to tradesmen, land
lords and those from whom he bought
property. "Swindle your friends. but
pay your tradesmen." was his rule.
BY very simple contrivance he al
lowed it to be understood that he was
on very familiar terms with the great
inanciers Of the world.
When a client called, Boulaine re-
ceived him seated at large office ia
BILE, on which were two telephones.
They would talk business. Presently
a telephone rang.
Excuse me minute" he would
say. Hello, who's there? Roths-
childs. Yes it's Boulaine. All right.
put me through" And he would ex-
plain to his client how Baron Roths-
childs wanted to speak to him pri-
vately-"but you need not leave the
room."
Then, turning to the telephone, he
would continue: Good morning. my
dear Baron. All right-four millions.
Only three. you say? That Is unfortu-
nate. l understood you to say four;
that must be a misunderstanding.
Yes. We will talk 1t over. That's all
right; dejeuner. at one. Good MORN
ing"
When it was not Rothschild. 1t was
a minister or an ambassador with
whom he conversed.
The telephone was dummy one.
He rang 1t himself by pressing but
ton with his knee under the table.
The conversations were purely imagi-
nary. but they hardly ever failed Of
the desired effect.
Boulaine had collected around him
a number Of directors Of good family.
When his victims began to press for
repayments Of their loans, he would
ask them to dinner. Being brilliant
conversationalist and possessed Of
charming manners, he had little diff
Guilty in inducing them to postpone
the time foe payment.-London Ex-

Jewels on an Idol.
TO BE CONTINUED.

The jewels of an Indian idol must be
worth stealing If many OF those re-
markably hideous images possess such
valuable head ornaments as one made
for the idol Parthasathy, In the Tripli-
cane temple at Madras. The orna-
ment Is worth some $4,000 rupees and
Is made of sovereign gold, studded with
diamonds, emeralds and rubies, the
largest emerald being valued at 1000
rupees and the biggest ruby and dia.

OF the Kelley bill to appropriate $4,000 for
Virginia building at st. Louis, and made

Indeed, poll OF the committee on the
