Free Gold for School Children

How things change in educational methods.
few years ago there free school books kind
ergarens, manual traning-oh! thousand things that
correct nowadays.
And the end is not in sight
There people who believe that every child should
be educated and that every obstacle that prevents the
gaining of education should be provided for by the
municipality whether it clothing, shoes, food
books.
Milwaukee is already supplying breakfasts free to poor
children who need them we-known educator said in
a speech at ST. Louis that there literally thous
ands of children this country who reach school every
day almost famshed for the simple that there is
not enough food for them to eat at home.
If true and probably is true it shame the
porous cities Of America.
Since 1874 there has been fund maintained in Paris
with which to purchase necessities for poor school child
rem and in 1882 law passed extending the plan to all
communes
In one year the authorities Of Paris issued food
portions consisting of nourishng SOUP meat and vegeta
bes Where the children could afford to pay for the food
they were required to do so but in the majority of
there was no payment The average cost of meal to the
city was three cents The fundamental principle Of the
is to avoid loss of dignity through free feed
ing Tickets issued to those who pay and those who
do not alike and only the person who gives the tickets
knows who have paid and who have not.
That is a radical proceeding, absolutely warranted by
conditions In every city and town it would be well ii the
authorities looked closer into the home life of school
children, with view to remedyng defects big SMALL
All these things have direct bearing the education

That Boy Of Yours

1t may always have been so but it is especially true to-
day, that this country is producing higher type OF
womanhood than of manhood
In all our towns and cities there young women
whom you would welcome to your homes daughters
inlaw than young men whom you would welcome
in-law
There are why this so but there is
that it is so.
There is nothing in the world so we'll worth looking
after the boy and there human being in the world
SO neglected
We have provided little space scant for him. He
is welcome to the home baby and he is welcome as
a man. but there is little welcome for him boy.
We chaperon our girls and carefully guard them
against unworthy boys, but leave the boy to choose
him much sage advice, perhaps, but little sympathetic
guidance The lonest most unoved human creature is
the boy.
Girls naturally winsome, gentle, companionable
They win their way in homes and hearts, But the boy
noisy awkward mschevous, is invited into few homes
and feels none too much at home in his own.
About the only door that swings with welcome to
the boy about the only chair that is showed the fire
especially for the boy about the only place where he is
1t of the hardest things in the world to get hold
of boy-to get sure grip on him.
It is hard to win his companOnshp, the faith and con-
dence of your boy He has almost occult powers OF obser
walton and conclusion You think you know him through
an occasional glance but the chances he knows you far
better than you know him.
He is hungry for companionship and he will have it,
You can't chain him away from it. He wants the COM
panonshp of boys and nothing will take it's place.
the joys and hopes of your boy cannot enter into it, the
boy is to be pitied, but you.

MILE IN 80 SECONDS is WHAT WEBER EXPECTS

The machine will be driven by
Webb, who handled one of the To-

The new racer is geared to de-

NEW YORK, Jan. 3o-Nover before has such

perhaps never before has the market shown such
wild excitement Cables from Liverpool were
spectacular.
They reported advance Of % 70 1872 points
whereas they were expected to be 81 TO 10 points
lower. There We're sensational advices from Liv-

yanced to 1876, and July, closing at l6.lec,
opened at 1e.S0c
There was heavy liquidation, and Immediately
following the cali prices sagged of few points,
but the market remained very excited, with
trading tremendously active.
The liquidation following the call carried the
active months down from p to- 70 points with
March selling at 16. zoe, May at le50e, and July
at 1860. But at this point there was bull sup

LOCAL WHOLESALE TRADE
INTEREST PAST WEEK Conferred
IN DRY GOODS AND COFFEE.
Advances i'm Coffee and Cotton Mar
Indianapolis-PrOdu Trade.

Interest in the local Wholesale trade the past
week has conferred in the dry goods and coffee
markets These two lines have felt again the
effect Of the manipulation Of cotton and coffee
by powerful Eastern interests
The advances in the cotton market caused
other advance in the local prices for bleached
sheetings, which marked up from 4 TO y
cent Friday by the South Meridian-street houses.
AGvices to the local merchants indicate that
there Is general anxiety over the cotton goods
situation. owing to the Increasing difficulty Of
securing prompt deliveries.
The retail trade in the cotton lines is increas-
ing each week and jobbers' stocks are being de-
pleted more rapidly than the jobbers can re-
plenish them. owing 10 the extremely high
price OF raw cotton the jobbeFs not placing
large orders, because it is somewhat the gem
eral feeling among the wholesale trade that
there will be a break in the cotton market soon.
and prices of the manufactured product will
then have to be reduced and large orders placed
al present high prices would have to be put
out at a loss
That the coffee is in the hands of clique
Of spectators was clearly demonstrated the
past few days when the sales ran up TO enor-
nous figures and prices advanced accordingly.
The effect in the local market was another ad-
vance of &c on the prices of package cof-
fees. Identified with the coffee speculation is
Daniel Suliy, who has been one of the prom
inent spectators in cotton this movement.
The coffee crop last year short one, COM
paratiyeiy speaking. and it would be at all
surprising if the jobbers would be forced 10
keep their prices up to something the pres
ent level a greater part Of the year. The ad-
vance is due more directly. of course, to spec
ulatiOn. but the short crop last year is hav-
ing something TO do with the upward movement.
OF course. In cotton there is a different
high and sooner later there will be lower
prices.
