The Crusade I'm Brief,

In the State of Virginia during the last
few months the Anti-Saloon League has
closed no less than 900 saloons.
In Maine, Kansas and North Dakota
they have prohibition by State law; in
thirty-cight other States they have it by
local option.
1t is recognized that the hope of the ma.
ton lies in preventing the formation OF
drinking habits through education OF the
rising generation.
The action of alcohol on the nervous sys-
TEN is one of a; most important and most
unfortunate characteristics. 1t is this ac.
ton which leads to the Craving" for drink.
The United States drinks enough liquor
each year to float all her battlcships.
There are $50 towns and cities in the
State of Illinois in which prohibition has
been enacted into law. All the State of
Iowa but twenty-five cities is still prohibl-
ton.
1t is strange hat professedly religious
bodies of men can see no wrong IN manu-,
featuring liquors which have been proved
to be the greatest enemies to humanity
morally, socially, physically and spirit
ually.
The amount the liquor business draws
from legitimate trade, if spent IN dry
goods, grocery, hardware and furniture
stores, would require S40O, 000,W 900 more OF
raw material for manufacturing, and give
employment to 100000 men.

Kind Words.

Cultivate kindness of heart; think well
of your fellow men; look with charity upon
the shortcomings in their lives; do a good
turn for them as opportunity offers, and
finally, don't forget the kind word at the
right time. How much such a word Of
kindness, encouragement or appreciation
means to others sometimes, and how little
it costs us to give it! We do not need to
wait for some special occasion. When ca.
lamity overtakes a friend words of sympa-
thy and encouragement are offered sin.
cereiy enough, yet, in certain respects, as a
matter Of course. Such an occasion calls
for expression O. our part. and we natur-
ally respond, says the Luther League Re-
view. But why wait for an occasion? Why
not speak that kind word when there is no
special occasion? In the course Of our
lives there must be many times when
t%houghtless words are spoken by us which
wound the hearts Of others. And there
are also many little occasions when the
word Of cheer is needed from us, and we
are silent. There are lives of wearisome
monotony which a word of kindness can
relieve. There is suffering which. words OF
sympathy can make more endurable. And
often, in the midst of wealth and luxury,
there are those who listen and long in
vain for some expression of disinterested
kindness. Speak to those while they can
hear and be helped by you, for the day
may come when all our. expressions of love
and appreciation may be unheard. Imag.
inc yourself standing beside their last rest:
ing place. Think of the things you could
have said of them and to them while they
were yet living. Then go and tell them
now.

carInc For BABY in Zuni Land,

The Zunl child spends his early days
in a cradle. But a cradle in Zuni land
does not mean down pillows, silken
coverlets and fluffy laces; it is only a
fiat board, just the length Of the baby,
with a hood like q dolls buggy top
over the head.
Upon this hard bed the baby is bound
like a mummy, and the coverings are
wound round and round him until the
little fellow cannot move except to
open his mouth and eyes. Sometimes
he is unrolled and looks out into the
bare whitewashed room, blinks at the
fire burning on the hearth and fixes
his eyes earnestly on the wolf and
cougar skins that serve as chairs and
beds and carpets in the Zuni home.
BY the time he is two or thrA years
old he has grown into 4 plump little
bronze creature with the straiShtest OF
coarse black hair and the biggest and
roundest of black eyes. He is now out
of the cradle and trots about the house
and the village. When the weather is
bad he wears a small. coarse shirt, and
always q necklace Of beads OF tur'
quoises.-St. Nicholas.

"Well, now we shall see," said the
teacher. you read over after me. BE
sure to read just what I do"
So she began slowly, running her
finger along under the words:
"Did you ever see a donkey"
And Johnnie, in the same deliberate.
sing-song voice, running his finger
along the page. replied:
"No, ma'am, 1 never did,"

Modern Japanese War Charm.

The custom of the Sen Min Riki Is
one that has arisen in Japan during
the present war. Ever since the war
began, ut all times Of the day, and
even night, small groups of women can
be seen gathering in the streets; one
or more of the women will have Il piece
of cotton cloth with 1000 marks or
dots stamped. upon it. "Sen" is the
Japanese word for 1000. min" is the
word for human being-either maj or
woman. "Riki'' is, in the japanese
language. strength. In combination
the words mean the strength Of 1000
people
EACH one Of these 1000 dots or marks
in the cloth is to indicate the place
where a stitch or knot Is to be made
by 4 woman. who, while making this
knot. gives her best thought, wish or
prayer for the safety and protection Of
the soldier who will wear this piece Of
cotton cloth as an ''obi" or belt while
fighting for his country. The prayers
of 1000 women for one man are be-
lieved to protect him from all dangers
and to give him strength to overcome
and conquer the enemies OF his be-
loved Japan.-Frank Leslie's Weekly.

San Erancisco,s Saloons.

San Francisco has the terrible fact to
face that there are over 5000 saloons with
in her city limits-one saloon to every l25
of her population1;and, what is the worst
stores in front, and children who 60 for
home supplies are only separated from the
evils of the saloon by a swinging door, and
learn all manner of wiekedness from their
earliest youth. Recently the commission
ers of the city have decided there shall be
no further increase in the saloons, and also
that if any saloon goes out of existence no
other can resume business OF that site.
Through these laws San Francisco hopes
to have less than 10000 arrests yearly, over
half of which are directly accountable -
the LIQUOR traffic.

Payday and Drinking.

The Massachusetts, Bureau of Labor sta.
tistics has published a report on the loss OF
time due to drunkenness in which there is
shown a great decrease in the proportion
of absences of work Immediately following
pay day. The special agents visited 4l3 es.
adjustments and found absent on Monday
but 5ll of 39,76l males over sixteen years
of age employed on the previous Saturday.
The per cent. is l.29. The employers who
have changed the pay day from Saturday
to the middle OF the week report 4 great
improvement in this respect. The man
who knows that his position depends on
his reporting for work on the morning inn
mcdiately following pay day appears far
more likely to keep sober than when a full
day or a day and a half intervene.

WHY Do We Wait.

A story is told which couples the names
Of Princess Mathilde and the great paint.
er, Gerome. The princess and the painter
had both been invited to a dinner party.
The princess arrived punctually; the paint.
er tarried until long after the dinner hour
was past. The guests concealed their i'm.
patience as best they could, until at last
the princess suddenly said:
"Why l nearly forgot. Only this morn.
ing l received q telegram from Gerome,
who is in Spain. He is unable to come to-
night j.,
"But why did you not tell US before,
princess?" cried all the guests togett err, .
because 1 was not yet hungry
It is often so in regard to spiritual
things. Why do we wait to tell our loved
ones and friends the good news of having
found a Saviour? Is it not because we are
not yet hungry for their salvation? If
every child Of God would. in a measure,
experience something of the hunger and
thirst which Christ Jesus had for the lost,
we would begin at once to tell of the
things we know about Christ. Let each
one of us begin to-day to tell of the power
of Christ to redeem our lives from de.
struction, and there will be many whose
real joy in life will be enhanced. And
again and again we will Gear the question:
"Why did you not tell it before" How
many of Christ's followers would then be
bound to confess, to some unsaved friend,

We have kept silent long enough. Let
us speak. We are messengers of salvation.

THE THOUSAND DOLLAR BILL.
How Big Bills Often Entice a Man Into
Buying Property.

The ordinary citizen, even though
he be a man of more than ordinary
means, seldom ever sees a 500 bill,
while $1,000 bills are almost an un-
known article. Yet, according to the
paying teller Of one Of the largest
banks in the city, these same SlUO
and even $1,000 bills are rather COM
mon. This teller estimates that he
handles from $4,000 to $4,000 a day
in large bills on an average. BY large
bills, he explained, he meant those OF
Il denomination of $50 or up.
But if these bills abound in guam
tity, the use to which they are put has
a very narrow field. and is confined
to only a few definite purposes in
Omaha. Chief among these special
purposes is the large real estate deal.
It is a trick Of the real estate man to
make a man an offer for a piece Of
property and then follow it up by
1ourishing the price in 800 or $1,000
bills. 1t is said that several of Oma-
has best-known real estate men use
this very plan.
An agent will come to the bank and
draw his check for the amount he
wants. GIVE it to me in hundreds" he
will say. or. if the deal is a large one,
he calls for thousands. When he has
made his trade, the seller is, of course,
no better off than if he had been given
a certified check. but there is some
thing about the sight Of real money
that oftentimes consummates a trade.
Perhaps the charm fails to work and
the agent brings the money back to the
bank and deposits it until he wants to
draw q Flash roll' on some other un-
Suspecting victim.
Another use for these large bilrs
is to pay duties. The duties at the
Omaha Custom House sometimes run
rs high as $4,000 a day." said the teller.
'.The Government doesn't take any
chances, you can put that down. When
one does business with Uncle Sam he
finds that the old gentleman is from
Wisconsin and wants it in his hand.
The real hard cash, actual legal ten
der, must be deposited. Not only that,
but in big bills. It's big denomina-
tons the Government wants. The rea-
son for this large bill demand by the
Government is that the money has
to be transferred, and it is just as
we'll to make it in large bills at once,
so it can be shipped readily.
1.-THE real large bills, such as the
$4,000 and $4,000. are very scarce. I
doubt If there are Gny in Omaha.
Certainly I don't know of any. They
are used only in the East, where money
is handled in much larger bulk than
it is out this way. There they come
in handy and are useful in transfers
from bank to ,ub-Treasury and the
Hke."-Omaha News.

Alcoholism and Heredity.

In a well-known but slightly sensational
medical journal, The London Lancet, a
rather surprising opinion is advanced by
G.. Archdall Reid. He is satisfied that a
predisposition to drinking is not inherited
from incorporate parents. He argues in
this fashion: If offspring are affected,
then, in time, the race grows degenerate
and finally becomes extinct. On the other
hand, if they are not, then the power OF
resistance becomes developed and strength.
<ned, and later generations crave liquor
less than did their ancestors. The latter
rule explains to Mr.. Reid the present eX.
and the nations of Southern Europe, who
for ages have had alcoholic beverages.
Younger stock, like that of Northern Ell.
rope, having had less time in which to &C.
quire resisting powers, might, on the other
hand, show a greater susceptibility. In
other words, he holds that alcohol, as we'll
as disease, is the cause of an innate lmmu-
nifty against itself.
TO this doctrine much dissent has been
expressed. A resident of Buffalo. Law
renee Irwell, declares that if a distinct
craving for drink is not transmitted to
children, there is at least an inherent sus.
ceptibility. A writer in The Medical Rec
ord denies that the people Of Southern .Eu.
rope are to-day abstemious. He then re-
marks: "Mr. Reid cannot prove that the
children Of habitual %drunkards are nor.
mally developed both mentally and physi-
cally. When drink is INDUCED in to excess
through successive generations it results
in insanity, paralysis, idioey or cerebral
defect of some kind. The theory that in a
drinking nation the unfit are weeded out
and that among the survivors a consider.
able degree of immunity to alcohol is es.
tablished is plausible and probable. The
craving for drink may not be directly
transmitted, but the children OF drunken
parents or one drunken parent will in all
likelihood inherit some physical or mental
defect or both. which may of a certainty
be put down to the drinking habits of their
Drogenitors."

The Poor PessImfst.

H. P. banks, the composer, died recent.
ly in Philadelphia at the age of ~sixty-nine.
He was best known, perhaps, through tho
song, "Silver Threads Among the Cold"
that he wrote in his youth.
Mr.. banks lived quite alone. He had a
pathetically odd way of passing the time
when not at work before his organ. He
would, for several hours each afternoon,
sit in the huge railway station at Twelfth
and Market streets, watching the people
quietly.
Sometimes he would make cursory ac.
quaintances at the station. Sometimes he
would narrate to his friends odd remarks
that he had heard in chance encounters.
Thus, one morning, he told of an English
man who, the day before, had sat down
beside him and began to grumble about
American newspapers.
Mr.. banks changed the subject to music,
but the other grumbled again. Finally,
pointing to the flood of sunlight that
poured in through the great window, Mr..
banks said: 49,,
"a glorious day, isn't it,"
The other frowned and muttered:
eyes, locally. It's probably raining
somewhere, though"
