1.-THE Campbell Brothers came to
us strangers but from now on we are
friends. They are from the wild
and woody west, but they can give
some OF their eastern competitors
pointers on how to conduct a big
show. Harrisburg circus patrons
were surprised and bewildered
Everything was first class, it was ths
best ever seen here, in fact it was
immense. The tents were packed
in the afternoon and even the threat
ening weather did not keep tn. city
folks from filling all the seats last
night. The Campbell Brothers will
always be welcome here. They ars

ANCIENT BABYLON.
The Way the Excise Question Was

The Way the Excise Question Was
Handled by Its SoIons.
A translation of King Hamourabi's
code, written about 100 years before
Christ. gives us an insight into the life
Of the great city of Babylon at that
remote time and of the way i'll which
the excise question was handled by its
legislators.
Nearly all the dealers of wines and
liquors at that time We're women, as
many of the laws translated from the
code speak only of women as sellers Of
drinks. Severe measures We're taken
against those who adulterated the
wines or mixed them with water, So us
To safeguard the purity of the article
for the use of the public. The barlnaid
WAS held responsible for all diSorderly
scenes or drunkenness in her premises,
and death was the penalty for those
who did not denounce all cases of
drunkenness to the police. Those wom-
TN who We're employed i'll the temples
We're forbidden to enter public hostel
rieS under penalty of death, and even
drinking i'll private WAS forbidden 10
them.
Special police officers We're detailed
for the enforcement of the excise laws
i'll the city of Babylon. but then as well
as now the officers charged with this
duty We're, if we are to believe the
code i'll question. either negligent in
the performance of their duties or
too willing to nr,.ppt bribpS from the
barmaidS in the shape of drinks or
even money.
Severe punishment is dealt ont in the
document to the police officers who
shall accept brides i'll connection with
the enforcement of the excise laws Of
Babylon, but it is probable that then
as well as now many of the fair saloon
keepers found Il way to bride the Off
GERS and evade the laws.

CHURCH ALES.

From almost the earliest times in

where We're Il hearth of good compass
and stout Oaken table upon which
the "ale" and viandS We're set forth.
The founder of the feast gave his best
brew and was content to receive mon

these quasi religious Symposia being
akin to that which obtains at the mod

who attended We're prepared to pay lib

Thus the man who had lost his mon

was popular, might suffice to set him
on his feet again. The more romantic
bride ale assisted penurious young
couples into housekeeping while pro-

money for the poor. for church repairs

more and more frequent. so that in
1903 Church ales" were summarily
suppressed.

further postponement. Unless Jeffrica
is in condition by that time, he. they
say, must lost his forfeit of $4,000 and

that besides decreasing the betting

EVACUATION DAY.
The Anniversary is Appropriately
Observed at Valley Forge
ADDRESSED BY PRESIDENT
Points Out the National Character oi
the Event and Euiogizes wash
ington and Lincoln.

on the historic spot at Valley Forge
where Washington and his gallant
boys OF rs suffered in order that the
United States might become a ma
tIon," President Roosevelt delivered a
notable address. Following Is what he
said In part:
Lincoln saved the union and lifted
the cause of liberty higher than before.
Washington created the republic, o
by statecraft to the highest pc rition
only for the welfare Of his fellows and
for so long as his fellows wished him
to keep It. 1t is a good thing that Of
these. the great land marks of our his
tory, Gettysburg and Valley Forge,
one should commemorate a single tre-
mendous effort and the other what We
need on the whole much more COM
monty and which I think is on the
whole more difficult to do, long sus-
tanned effort. Only men with a touch
OF the heroic could have lasted that
three days struggle ut Gettysburg.
Only men NJ to rank with the great
men OF all time could have beaten
back the mighty onslaught Of that gal
liant and wonderful army OF northern
Virginia, whose final supreme effort
made at tho stone wall on Cemetery
Ridge on that July day forty-one years
ago.
Here at Valley Forge Washington
aud his continentals warred not
against the foreign soldiers, but against
themselves, against all the appeals Of
our nature that are most difficult to
resist. against Encouragement, against
the ~jealousies and ~heartburnings sure
TO arise at any time in large bodies Of
men. but more sure to arise when de-
feat and disaster have come to large
bodies Of men. And they conquered be
casue they had In them the spirit that
made them steadfast, not merely on IN
occasional great day, but day after day
In the life Of daily endeavor to do duty

when two lessons are both indis-
pensable II seems hardly worth while
to dwell more on one than on the other.
Yet l think that as a people we need

have not the slightest anxiety but
that this people. IL the need should
come In the future will be able to show
the heroism, tho supreme effort that
was shown at Gettysburg. though It
may well be that It need a similar
two hours Of effort checkered by disas-
ter to lead up to it."
