She begged me to let her go, which
did. 1t was a disastrous thing to do.
In three weeks she wrote me that she
was married.

came wandering into my dreams, walk

Jointkeepers, However, Have a Hard
Time When the Drys Are in

Two heretofore successful methods
OF evading the prohibition laws of
Kansas have come TO grief. In one case

in electric sht bulbs and in the other

agents OF several wholesale liquor
houses and some express agents doing
business in the state, alleging that the
liquor was sent in sealed packages ad-
dressed to fictitious names and then
sold by the agents of the express COM
panies for express charges" Millions
Oh cases of liquor have been sent into
the state by this latter method and for
zach case so disposed Of the agent re-
ceived 80 cents.
The result of all this is that some new
method of evading the law must be in
Vented, for in spite of the fact that pro-
hibition is part of its laws and that its
political parties stand pledged to its
support any man who wants a drink In
kansas can get it.
Prohibition in Kansas is to-day en-
urely matter of local option and every

TEMPERANCE IN SCHOOLS,
What the Philadelphia Press Has to
Say of the Success of the Scien-
tific Lesson Study.

When the Womans Christian Tenn
; perance union first proposed the SYSTEM
attic teaching in the public schools of the
effects of tobacco and liquor the step
was universally opposed by almost all
technical and professional educators.
Not one OF them was ready to accent
It, and most of those in charge of our
schools objected both to this specific
teaching and to its compulsory incor-
poration in elementary text books on
physiology. The Press itself was
among the newspapers which pointed
out the apparent dangers of the plan
proposed
Experience has converted all who
could be converted. There is no dis
interested person who has watched
during the past 90 years the steady
growth OF public sentiment against the
use OF liquor and tobacco who has not
been convinced that the right course
was taken in introducing teaching on
these subjects into elementary school
work. such an experiment takes time.
For eight or ten years after this teach

These changes are a great national

In the cold, sleety wind. Some of the

Signal. Although but IL years old. this
neglected boy was able to earn many

ther often took his money away from
him, and passed il over to Mr.. Say
bright, the saloon keeper. Jimmie had
learned that the only way to save money
enough for his shoes was to hide some
or his earnings. He did not leave his
money In the house any length of time.
Tor his home was small, shabby place,
and his father had always succeeded in
dnding the hidden money.
When Jimmie reached the door of his
home this cold. wintry day. he did not

most boys would have done; he was too
cautious for that He opened the door
nofselessly and looked at his mother
nquiringly. She seemed to know what
