charge of suspicion. II is declared by Chief
Briggs that these men were implicated In
the holding up of a saloon and drug store

A PLEA FOR DESERTERs.

The plea Of General +. ID. Grant on be-
half of deserters from the United States
army is worthy of his generous hearted
father and should bring about change
in the law which would practically re-
move the disability placed upon the de-
serter, at least in times of peace. Sew
eral hundred young men are now in
prison taking their punishment for quit
ting the ranks of the army. None OF
them, under the present regulations, will
ever again be permitted to enter the SER
vice. General Grant believes that these
men should be given an opportunity to
redeem their lost reputation and to
place themselves again upon respect.
able standing in the army and before
the public. The fact that the govern
lnent accepts the service in the army
of young men who have not reached the
years Of sound judgment as to their flu
ture is sufficient reason why the gov
ernment should offer an opportunity for
them to be reinstated after paying the
penalty of term in military prison. As
it is the punishment Of deserters results
only in further disgrace of the young
man who has made the mistake of ef
listing and then seeking .ta,~escape re-
sponsjhilitxs ~ assertion.
The military prison for the deserter
should be male training school for fur
ther military duty in the case of the
first offender, fitting him for the dis
charge of responsibilities in the army.
as the civil prison should be made a
training school for the first offender
against the civil laws, helping him to
better citizenship.

THE SOURCE OF FLOODS.

A food is devastating Missouri, with
the usual accompaniments. Some lives
have been lost, hundreds of head of live
stock have drowned, railroad tracks
have been washed out, aud crops have
suffered great damage. Uni rtunately
it is no new thing in Missouri. 1t is
an annual occurrence, at least, anj this
is the second event of the kiEd this
year. Commenting on the situation the
Chicago Tribune remarks tLat there is
no prospect of a diminution in the Sc
verify of these visitations, but on the
contrary every indication tina. they will
become more and more serious. This is
due largely to the deforesting of the
country through which the rivers flow,
and as the work of deforesting is still
going steadily forward, the extent and
destructiveness of the floods will prob
ably continue to likewise steadily in
crease unless intelligent and compre-
hensive measures are adopted to prevent
them. The Tribupe also comments
somewhat eaustically on the lack of ef-
fort which has heretofore been put forth
to moderate or prevent floods. No half
way measures are going to afford any
material protection. The work of pro-
lection must be thorough and extensive.
What has been done and has been pro.
vided for is good, but it is doubtful If
it viii prove a complete remedy.

Geographical Gentlemen.

After an evening performance at Il
theater in Richmond, Va. says the
Boston Transcript" one of the watt
ing street-cars was quickly filled by
well-dressed people Of the so-called bet
ter class. There Were number of men
who continued to occupy seats, al
though several ladies were standing in
the aisle.
At last an old lady was pushed for
ward by the jam. A boyish-looking
fellow promptly sprang up and rendered
her his seat.
The old lady's pale face, saddened by
sorrows which could be guessed from
the little gold and blue and red enamel
Confederate flag pinned on her breast,
frightened us she accepted it.
1T is easy to see what part of the
country you come FRONT" she said gra-
ciously, Immediately crediting the ac-
ton to the South.

tend to be good Christians; yet they
glaringly forget the first vital virtue
of Christianity: namely, charity.
There is certainly no charity in de-
flaming our neighbor; there is also no
charity in uselessly exposing to the
censure of the world his frailties. Be-
sides, could any of US dare to cast
the first stone" If we would honestly
examine our own conscience? Perhaps
our sister or brother has failed In one
way, but we ourselves have failed, and
continue daily to fail in other ways;
and only God may. judge Us to whose
sins are the greater.
Then there are elderly people who
hold up their hands in holy horror at
what they term 1.-THE depravity of
youth" Have they forgotten the de-
pravity of their own youthful days?
Worse. have they forgotten how they
boosted among choice, boon compan-
ions-perhaps at the corner grocery
of their many youthful pecadillos,
and of the lot of fun they got out of
them? Perhaps they did not notice,
at the time, how little children were
standing about, open mouthed, listen
ing in wonder at the tales they heard.
Perhaps they do not realize that it is
these same children, now grown up,
whom they are criticising. Is it
strange that these youths treat all the
would-be-p ious admonishings of their
elders with contempt? In fact, is it
strange that many of our young men
and women slight religion when they
see religion illustrated only by inane
mouthings instead Of by practice and
example? They say, oh, wait until
We have one foot in the grave, and the
pleasures of sin have begun TO pail,
then we, too will be good. And do not
throw stones at us; you know how it
is yourself, for you've lived in glass
houses when you We're young"
Gossip not of evil lest more evil be
born. Spread well, the mantle of char
ity over the sins of your neighbor;
perhaps it may then stretch itself a
bit over your own.

In Canton, Ohio, there is an audi

and is the finest p1nce of public as

The idea was taken up at nnce, and
few days later the auditorium was en-
gagged for the third week of October
ard a guarantee given to cover the
rental of $3.50.
Nearly all of the 1000 seats were TAX

closing Sunday many were obliged to

The mission was conducted by the
Apostolate band of the Cleveland do

Forget Me-Not.

This is German legend of the For
get-me-not:
Thousands of years ago God gave
names to all the flowers. They were
very proud of their names, the stately
rose, the poor white lily, the dreamy
violet, the April primrose, the straight
slender tulip. the pansy, with its laugh
ing eyes. For amusement they repeat
ed their new names to themselves
all but one small flower that bent be-
side rivulet and wept. He was very,
very tiny, but he seemed to have i
great sorrow.
How now?" asked the Rose. "Wha,
is the matter?"
The little blossom wept silently.
Don't cry" continued the rose
'"rake pattern from the pansy yonder
and laugh. Why, even the shy little
violet is more cheerful than you"
"Alas!" replied the flower, between
it's sobs, II would like to laugh, but
am too unhappy. I have forgotten III,
name"
THAT is too bad" answered tht
rose. I'VE are sorry, but we cannot
help you. God only knows your name
And with this the rose and the othel
flowers went to- their evening rest
Only the sad, small thing by the brook
side remained awake God heard the
faint, low sound of its grief In tho
depth of the night He came to the
flower and said softly:
What is thy trouble?"
"My name! my name! l have for

you will be called Forgctmenot. That
name you will never forget"
This made the little flower very

cerely to be hoped that, under the cir

There is form of recruiting, which,
though it did not attract much atten-
ton, has found fertile field in Ire
land-the recruit of wives for English
husbands. Attention was drawn to this
by the death of Sir Henry Irving. His
wife, who is still alive, is an Irish
woman, daughter of Surgeon-Maj
O'Callaghan, and niece to an Irish
author famous in his day, John Cor
nelius O'Callaghan, whose two chief
works were "The Irish Brigade" and
The Green Book" John Cornelius

RockefeIIer's Religion.

John d. Rockefeller has been tell
ing how he acquired his vast wealth.
says the Omaha True Voice How he
came by his millions in later years the
public already knows from the Oil
Kings enemies and those who have
suffered directly from his business
methods. But ii is interesting to
know from Mr.. Rockefellcr's own story
how he began his financial career
According to his own words the
first step on the road to earthly riches
is to affiliate with some church and
thereby get a position and an oppor-
tunity to begin life work Of accu-
mulating wealth.
1t has long been suspected that Mr..
Rockefeller's religion was closely iden-
titled with his business. Some have
been so unkind as to say that he had
no religion except a desire to keep up
an appearance of responsibility before
the world. 1t now appears that he
was sincerely religious all along in az
far as religion could help him in a
business way. His conception of
religion as n business asset" differs
from that Of most men who consider
religion to be somewhat of detriment
to worldly success. Rockefeller con-
sdcrs ii an essential requisite to bust
ness success.
There can be no doubt that the oil
magnate has succeeded in Il material
way. His success as n financier Is
indisputable. Many, however, can
question his competency to speak as
an authority on religion. The very
fact that his religious notions arc en-
tirely in accord with his unsavOry
record in the world Of finance is an
argument against It, The brand of
religion that Rockefeller processes is
not the kind that has inspired mil
lions of unselfsh souls throughout the
centuries of Christianity and that has
led men to sacrifice everything, even
life itself, for the cause of truth
Rockefeller's religion is pure matcrn-
alism.
