And many near to you are coming OUT
And if to Saltwater you make a scout
Just tell the boys to come and hear you toot,
And tell them how certain wild galoot

How Mother toiled and struggled, day by

To feed her young and keep the wolf away,
And as she lay upon her dying bed,
Unto her reckless, hayward boy she said:
"Oh, promise me, my wild, my Maynard boy,
My earthly star of hope, my greatest joy,
That you will shun Intoxication's BOWL
And this he promised her, with all his soul,
And that is why this boy was never caught.
He kept the promise that his Mother taught.
And now this boyish man is on scout,
And God is helping him to figure out
The proper way to reach this Army Grand
Of men and boys. "Oh, Carnegie be hanged!
Such work is not for him, he only sees
The sunshine. and the birds up in the trees
And monuments-and NEEDLES with his

He never looks about the slums for game,
Such sights would make the little ScOtchman

And if affected, he'd get poor too quick.

Tho the Japanese folded fan is a

largest factories is at Kioto. Where
an average of 100000 fans yearly are
turned out. Spain is the principal Gus
toner for the Kioto fans, Italy COM

United States and Mexico. The fans
are not at all easy to manufacture, as
eight different workmen are required
to make single frame, while before
the fan is finished it has to pass
through the hands of ten people.-Ex.

1T has been said that the man
who assumes to set up the
standard that should guide all men,
must possess a remarkably domi-
neering sense of virtue. This is
true; but it is doubtful if there is
any one who can honestly claim to
be that man. At any rate, he is not
in here. Still, the fact that we
are not without sin need not pre-
vent us from encouraging others,
and even ourselves, to travel in
the path of decency and rectitude.
For If a mans heart is filled with
righteous impulses he will dis
regard the antecedents of anyone
trying to appeal to his better quail
tiles, with either voice or pen. He
will ponder over what is said and
forget the source from which il
emanates. However, there are
men whose impulses will respond
only to that which has a sugges.
ton of wickedness. Their powers
of comprehension are limited to
things that are abhorrent; they
judge others by themselves and
doubt the sincerity of all who ad.
vocate purity in word, thought
and deed. We should pity these
men, just as we pity the man with
q soul so mean as not to respond
to the song of the nightingale
They apparently have no desire te
be any better than they are, anc
what is more, they never will be
They are Of no use to the worl6
and will always be their own wors
enemies.

IN France, electric power is fur
nished at rate that enables the
poorest peasants to use it in run
ming their looms as we'll, as for
light and heat. Were we not COM
PEELED to pay dividends on watered
stock, the same might be said of
this country.
ABOUT once in four years the
question is asked if women
have the right to propose marriage.
That they may exercise this priv
ilege at any old time, no one will
deny. Whether it will be in con-
formity with present day notions
of propriety, is matter of opinion.
It seems that the custom had its
origin IN an act of the Scotch par
lament of 1928. It provided that
during the reign of Queen Mar
garet women of both high and low
estate should have the right to
speak to the men they wanted for
husbands. And any man who re-
fused to consent should be fined
G1OO. Now, of course, in our day
and country there is no law to en-
courage the maidens, but on the
whole is it not, as one writer has
said, "just as modest for a girl to
propose as to fish for suckers?'
To come out openly and declare
herself would be giving a man 6
chance for his life. He might
claim that 1t was $50 sudden anc
take time to think the matter over
calmly and dispassionately. II
these sane moments be could ar
rive at a sensible decision. Blu
when women have been lying
awake nights thinking up some
scheme to lead men on, figuring
on the kind of bait to use, why WI
just bite as easily as the proverbia
, sucker. They fence and foil in
way that makes unsuspecting mai

we get away from her charming

From Rev. G.. L. Morrill,, of
Captain Jack Minneapolis, who has
visited the prison many times and
who spoke here on Washington's
Birthday last, will dig the first
spadeful of dirt for the foundation
of the new Minneapolis Unique
Theatre, next Monday. After it's
completion, Mr.. Morrill, will hold
services in the theatre every Sun
day. He will not only dig the
first shovelful of dirt, but will fill
a wheelbarrow and trundle it
around the block, escorted by the
Newsboys' band. When the news
of Mr.. Morrill's proposed feat
reached Capt. Jack Crawford in
New York, he sent the clergyman
the following epistle, instructing
him that if it was published The
MIRROR should have it first. Here

Rev. G. L. Morrill,,
Peoples Pastor,


Minneapolis, MINI,
Dear Morrill,
notice by a Minneapolis paper
That you are going to cut up quite caper
By digging up the dirt to be replaced
By playhouse, Peoples Church, and other
chaste
Unique, and novel ways of entertaining
Progressive Christianity, thus gaining
Another forward step and upward boosting
While lazy, long-faced, lungless louis are
roosting,
On golden perch, in view of old Saint Peter,
And lower limbs, long dead, and out of meter,
With higher loftier tree-top DONATIONS,
Sun.kissed, radiant with inspirations
OF common sense, and every man a brother,
With Love to GOd-and Love to one an
Other.'
And as you wheel the dirt around the block,
Wheel on COmrade, until you strike bed rock,
Then pan the dirt, extracting all the gold,
And as you gather nuggets in your fold,
Remember brother mine, along lifes way,
Is many Mothers nugget gone astray;
Impulsive, wild, erratic, uncontrolled,
Misunderstood and left out in the cold,
Perishing for hearty clasp of hand,
A gentle, tender soul, to understand
His broncho disposition, and to say,
''Look up, and see Gods wonderful display
OF shining glories in His crown of night,
Let out the gloom, dear heart, let in the light
That's what he needs this prOdigal of ours,
Instead of cacti boomers, sweet tender
flowers
Of love and sympathy and honest tears,
To irrigate the seed, that has for years
Cried out for moisture; you can make it
sprout
And bloom and burst, if you will make a
scout,
Into the dens of infamy and death.
Nor fear contaminations reeking breath
For in the aDOrst-yOu often find the best.
Corkscrew your way into the toughest breast,
And when you reach the heart and let it out
You'll thank the Lord, and make another
scout.
And right in saltwater, close by today,
Are just such splendid boys, who ran away
From home, despite the fact that they were
good,
And brave, and true, and yet misunder
STOOD
Except by Her who lovediher reckless boy,
Her favOrite always, her hope and joy,
And tho he stood upon the scaffold high,
Would not desert him and would gladly die
That he might live; and it is just such men

all steamship lines engaged IN trans

agreement may carry the rate up an

The Increase IN virtually the restora-
ton Of a former rate. The agreement
provides also that the dfferentlal IN
favor OF san Francisco that has OPP
Grated to the disadvantage Of millers
on the North Pacific coast shall be
abolished, san Francisco has had the
benefit of flour rate as low as 81 pei
ton. but the northern steamship lines
would not follow the cut Of the China
Commercial Co., to that extent, as the
cost of shipment between Puget Sound

been sufficient TO protect a 50 rate, the
