The public mind is diseased on the
subject of money making. The heroes
are fast getting to be those who have
most skill in swallowing trust funds,
in engineering CRAFTS and shady finan
cial schemes. Our young men are daz-
zled by the quick success and say,
That's the way to do it. He was
poor man few years ago; now see
what a gorgeous turnout" Hundreds
Of young men are being indoctrinated
in the idea that money must be had
quickly, and that the larger the scale
on which they take it, the more admir-
able the business acumen. 1t is to
be feared that the application of our
bankrupt laws often reduces stealing
to a fine art. A man may wipe out his
debts by compromising with his cred
itors and, strange to say, will be treat
ed kindly in proportion to his fall.
Smash on a small scale and the world
will jump on you with both feet;
smash on a grand scale and the world
will take you by the hand. He who
steals a vest from a secondhand cloth
ing store gets ride in the city van
without the opportunity of looking out
Of the window, but the defaulter as

equipage. Nevertheless, it is still as
true as ever that 'he that hath clean
hands shall be stronger and stronger"

fee of conscience is the worst kind of
failure. Many crimes have been COM

SECURITY COUNCILS MEETING

The meeting of Security Council on
Monday night was very interesting af-
fair. It being the first meeting under
the new board of officers, a spirit Of
enthusiasm, enterprise and progress was
much in evidence. The address ofthe
new president, Conrade John GleesoQ,
reflected much praise upon the outgoing
officers and the good work done by the
Council in the past, while urging the
comrades to renewed activity, with the
promise Of even greater chieyements in
the future. State Chancellor David
Barry delivered an ldress in similar
vein, and Orator Flynn, who enjoys the
distinction of being the youngest occu-
pant of that ofiics n the history of tie
Council, dwalt np5n the opportunities
for young men afforded by the Legion.
and urged the seeking of new members
among the young men of the parish.
Several recitations and solos added to
the enjoyment of the evening.

BERNSTEIN employees DANCE

Elks Hall was the scene of a merry
gathering of young people last evening
when the annual entertainment ad re-
ception of the Bernstein Employees Mu-
tlIal Benevolent Association was held.
Despite the inclemeney of the weather,
there was over six hundred present, and
it was the most successful of the events
that has ever taken place under the au-
spices of the association.
The entertainment last evening was Of
vaudeville nature, and no better show
has ever been seen in this hall. The pro-
gramme opened with an overture by Prof.
G. NJ Borst which was excellent.
Burnett and Weyerson. in a tramp
comedy sketch, were very amusing, there
act being something out of the ordinary,
and they were given rounds of applause.
Miss Sadie Gering, serio-comic, enter
tanned with up-to-date songs, and she had
to respond over four times Niblo and
Spencer, song and dance team, were a
clever pair in their line of work, they
were we'll received.
Miss Helen Trix the whistling wonder
was at her hest, an her solos were appre-
ciated 50 much, that she had to appear at
least FIVE times Beach and Becker,
musical artists closed the entertainment.
Dancing was then in order, and it was
daylight before the young people departed
for their homes.

GIVE YOUR STOMACH
"A NICE VACATION
Don't Do 1t BY Starving 1t Either--
Let a Substitute DO the Work.

The old adage, "All work and no play
we'll to the stomach, one of the most inn
portant organs of the human system, as
it does to the man himself.
If your stomach is worn out and rebels
against being further taxed against its
limit, the only sensible thing to do is. to
give it a rest. Employ substitute for
short time and see If it will not more
than repay you in results.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are a will
ing and most efficient substitute. They
themselves digest every bit of food in
the stomach in just the same way that,
the stomach itself would, were it well.
They contain all the essential elements
.ttha-srHhe gastric juice and ether digestive
fuids of the stomach contain and actual
ly act just the same and do just the
same work as the natuTai fluids would
do were the stomach we'll and sound.
They, therefore. relieve the stomach, just
as one workman relieves another, and
permit it to rest and recuperate and re-
gain its normal health and strength.
This vacation" idea was suggested by
the letter of a prominent lawyer in. Chi
cago. Read what he says:-I was en-
gagged in the most momentous undertake
ing of my life in bringing about the coal
ition of certain great interests that
meant much to me as well as my clients.

After a very singular courtship lasting
two years, Miss Florence Meyers, of
No. so Wayne street, this city, and Mr..
Harry Fenwick, leading man of Blaney's
"Acress the Pacific" Company, playing
at one Of the local theatres this week,
were quietly married last evening at the
home of the brides parents, by the Rev.
William Wahl, of st. Boniface's R. G..
Church.

two seasons ago when Mr. Fenwick was
playing at the same theatre. Miss Mey-
ers. who is handsome brunette, attend
ed the opening performance at that time
and was noticed to be present every even
ing and matinee during the balance of
the week. 1t finally became known last
Christmas Day why Miss Meyers had
paid 50 many visits to a theatre to see
the same play, when Mr. Fenwick went
to, Miss Meyers's home, and, approach
ing Mr.. Lou Meyers, the father of the
bride in bashful manner, asked for her
hand
Mr.. Meyers looked his prospective SON
in-law over with careful eye, and final
ly consented to the marriage. Miss
Meyers was present at the time and her
pretty face was all sniles when her
father consented. She at that time was
presented with handsome diamond ring
The marriage was attended by the
members Of the Across the Pacifics
company, and at last evenings perform
ance they paid high compliment to their
leading man.
During the evening Mrs. Fenwick sat
in the same box she occupied nwo years

husband act the same part he did when
they became infatuated with each other.
