The children who are under the
temperance education laws are
being trained and taught that
alcohol is a narcotic poison, al
ways an injury to man when
taken as beverage And when
the children of our beloved ma
tion raise their banner of hope in
the future they will intelligently
inform the good Christian voter
that they understand aud pro-
claim aloud that the power Of the
"un-American saloon does not
rest with the men engaged in
the business, does not rest with
the men with money invested di-
rectly in the business, but that
it does rest in the attitude of the
government towards that busi-
ness. The children will also pro-
claim aloud from their study in
our statistical department, that
the government from its partner
ship in the saloon gets ninety
cents for every gallon of whisky
sold in a saloon; so we will readily
see that if we want the saloon
keepers TO get out of the busi-
ness we must join our children
in taking our government out of
the business, Every informed
voter will tell you that the gov
ernment controls every distillery
in the United States and not one
ounce of liquor can be placed
upon the market, until the gov
ernment has its share of the
spoils; and every saloon keepers
license, or tax if you please, de-
clares as plainly as Declaration
of independence, that the saloon
keeper has the legal right to ruin
your boy or any boy; and when
we think Of the five million mem
bers of various churches in the
United States, and what a power
for Christ and the evangelication
of the world, we deplore the fact,
that 4, 500, 600 cast his ballot with
the saloon. Can we not exclaim
with jeremiah, Thus saith the
Lord God of Hosts, Consider
Ye." Our prayers, our tears,
our resolutions our entreaties
will not Of themselves drive out
the saloon. .-legalized by votes, -
they must be destroyed by votes.
And may we not assert that the
stupendous need of the hour, to
meet this enemy of every Ameri-
can and Christian, is an aroused
church of God, consecrated to
the determination of this invet-
crate foe To the civilization we
cherish and religion we love

There Is curious myth about the
stars which tells that the sun and
moon are both women. The stars
are the children of the moon. and
the sun al one time had as many.
Fearing that mankind could not
bear so much light, each agreed %
eat up her offspring. The moon hid
hers away, but the sun kept her
word. After length of time. the
moon brought hers from her hiding
place. When the sun saw them, she
was filled with rage and chased the
moon to kill her. This chase has
lasted ever since. Sometimes the
sun comes near enough to bite the
moon, and man calls this encounter
an eclipse. All day long the moon
hides her children, only to bring
them out when the sun is far away.

FOR THE LITTLE ONES.
How Rover Gave the Alarm and Pink
Nose Found Home.

Old Rover seldom barkod. Only
when there was great excitement
and he wished to rouse the whole
family did his heavy voice sound,
and then every one came to see what
was the matter. He lived in little
house all by himself out on the
lawn, and at night he wore great
chain about his neck, for if Rover
found II necessary to bark he might
also think II necessary to take the
situation into his own hands.
One night II was storming fu-
riously, and the wind howled about
the house. 1t was midnight when
Rover's warning bark was heard.
The children got up at once and
came IN mothers room. Papa said
that the wind must have startled
Rover, and they would wait awhile.
But the dog barked louder and loud
er, and so papa dressed and went to
the kitchen and looked out. Moth
ing unusual was IN sight. lie hight
ed a lantern and opened the side
door. What do YOU think he found !:
Only little stray kitten huddled
up against the door and mewing
plaintiye.y. Papa took up the kit
ten and called. 1T is all right, old
fellow" and Rover went back into
his kennel.
Mother came down and gave the
kitten some milk and made a little
bed behind the kitchen stove. and
that was the way that Pink Nose
came to the house TO live. They
never knew bow she came there.
and if Rover knew he never told.
He had done his part for the little
wanderer. outh's Companion.

Least Charming OF All.

1 ne DOlLle nose Is 10 De
Stunned above everything. The
ordinary pug needs but the con-
tinued aid of the brandy flask to
rapidly develop into the bottle.
Bottle-nosed persons are usually
very garrulous and by no means
agreeable takers; they are often
quarrelsome and always obsti-
nate. The bottle-nosed person
can never be convinced that he
is wrong, no matter how power
ful and logical the argument
against him may be
Children by rubbing their nos
es upward frequently transform
a well-shaped nose into a snub.
From babyhood upward this or
gan should always be rubbed
downward, if this is regularly
done in childhood even a snub
nose may be improved in shape.
One of our most popular singers
regards her nose, and justly, too
as a catastrophe. Its unpleasing
proportions ruin the symmetry
of an otherwise beautiful face;
the whole trouble was caused by
sucking her thumb, with her
forefnger drawn tightly over
the bridge Of her nose, until she
was quite a large girl. This per-
nicious habit retarded the devel-
opment of the bridge of the
nose. while the lower part grew
into the fat pudding nose, always
so ugly.
Unfortunately, the snperfuous
handling of the nose is not al
ways limited to the capricious
tricks of childhood. 1t is an un-
seemly habit that, strangely
enough, sometimes characterize
well-bred people; and though in
later life it is doubtless harmless
as regards any real injury to
that most important feature, it
may often do the worse damage
of stamping one as being exceed
ingly underbred. No effort
should be considered too great to
break one of so unpleasant a
habit.
A Future Possibility.
The question has been raised
as to whether in future ages the
nose will not have become a.
mere historical tradition that is
to say, the American nose. 1t is
really a deplorable fact that the
nasal passage of the averageI
American is becoming more and
more narrow, owing to the repre-
hensible habit of breathing
through the mouth, rather than
following the intention of nature. |
The Indian sqnaw, more wise
than her civilized sisters, pro-
vides against neglect of the
functions of the nasal
organ by frequently holding to-
gether the lips of her infant So
as to compel it to breathe
