NEW ELEMENT OF DANGER.
The Principle Of Total Abstinence
Ought to Apply in the Case Of
the Automobile.

II il not regarded a. an interference
with the freedom OF the individual for
railroad companies TO insist that the
men In their employment shall be total
abstainers. This policy Is becoming uni
ycrsal Il has the approval OF the public
because the arguments In its favor are
perfectly obvious. The trust placed in
engineers and motormcn IS Of such sort
that il Is imperative that the great cause
of dlstrust. the most fruitful source of
incompetency, should be removed.
Those who by single mistake may
cause disaster must have their Wits
about them, and that this object may be
attained. "a Is desirable that their con
duct when on duty should be as Circum-
spcct as when they are on duty.
Why should not the same principle be
applied 10 the case Of the automobile?

entirely omitted. The great painter
gives the following explanation OF the
fact:
He ascribes the presence Of the word
"bulrushes" In the Authorized Version
as being due 90 faulty translation. for
there are no such things as bulrushes
on the Nile. The word in the original
means payrus. and Il seems that In

Speed Of a Prairie chicken.

That a prairie chicken flies with suf-
ficient speed 10 propel itself through
heavy plate glass was proved by a re-
cent incident at the little town OF
wolsey, Beadle county. Prof Shepard.
OF the village school, in the discharge
OF his duty. rang the school bell, when
a couple Of prairie chickens that had
taken refuge in the schoolhouse tower
from a storm we're frightened from
their place OF refuge. They flew as
straight and swift as an arrow for the
plate glass front OF a business house.
The glass was fve-eighths of an inch
in thickness. but one of the prairie
chickens went straight through IL as
though II were paper, and dropped
dead on the floor inside the building at
a distance OF about 20 feet from ths
window. The prairie chicken went
through the plate glass with sufficient
force to cut a hole six inches in diam

SUGGESTIVE STATEMENTS.

II is significant OF a growing public
sentiment against liquor drinking that
the use Of intoxlcants by railway en-
ployes is being more and more strictly
forbidden by the railway companies.
One Of the new rules promulgated by
the New York Interborough company
absolutely excludes from employment
any man who drinks intoxicating
liquors.
The Daily Mirror, OF London, is re-
sponsible for the statement that tee
totalism is becoming fashion" in some
parts OF London. Hotel proprietors and
keepers OF restaurants and public houses
are all agreed on this point, but do not
regret the change as the profits on
aerated waters are as large as those on
intoxicants. One hotel manager said
perhaps Americans had set the fashion.
The temperance people OF Massachu-
setts have shown what may be done by
organization and unity Of effort. Under
the leadership OF the Anti-Saloon league
churches. young peoples societies and
individuals by the thousands petitioned
the state legislature against the bill al
lowing saloons 10 be open after mid
night. AS result, the bill was defeated
by an overwhelming vote, and temper
ance scored another victory. Rams

AN EXCELLENT REASON.
A Boys Argument for the Closing
Of a Saloon Near His

Patrick A. Collins mayor OF Boston

a boys word is worth listening TO. Re
Gently complaint was made to him that
saloon was located too near a certain
public school. The politicians and 9TH
ers interested In keeping the place open,
urged him not TO interfere with the re-
sort. The school authorities desired IL
closed OF removed.
After the mayor had listened to argu-
ments from both sides, he said.
We'll. I'm going to let the boys OF
the school tell me what they think OF the
place. Send me. b" he said to the principal
OF the school. half a dozen OF your
brightest boys. I'll listen to them"
The next day half dozen OF the boys,
ranging from ten to 10 years Of age,
called on the mayor Each boy gave
some reason why he believed the saloon
ought to be taken away. until II came to
the last one, youngster OF IL. He
looked the mayor squarely In the eye,
and gave as his reason:
My school gives me a chance TO be
mayor Of Boston some day; the saloon
cant. think us boys ought TO have all
the show We can get TO be mayor. That's
all know about Il"
The mayor threw himself back in bis
chair and laughed heartily. then.
Strengthening up. he said to the last
spokesman:
My boy you have said more than did
all the politicians and the teachers. You
shall have the show 10 be- mayor. That
saloon will have to quit business at
once"
The boys gave the mayor a hearty
cheer and marched out OF bis ONCE.

II is a curious fact that Mr. Gully.
former speaker of the British house OF

cussing seriously whether they had
not better throw up England altogeth-

give fortune another chance, with very
notable results. Mr.. Gully ended as
