4 Double Hardship.

The following anecdote is told of a
prominent Baptist minister, celebrated
for his caustic wit:
He was speaking once at dinner
given to commemorate an important
event in the history of New England,
his text being, THE Pilgrim Fathers"
II have always" he said, felt the
deepest sympathy for the Pilgrim
fathers, who suffered such extraordinary
hardships in establishing a foothold in
this country. But, sorry as l have felt
for the Pilgrim fathers, have felt still
sorrier for the Pilgrim mothers; for not
only were they obliged to endure the
same hardships, but they had also en-
duIed the Pilgrim fathers. Harper s

PITCH IN. MR.. TAYLOR.
Carr Taylor, the attorney of the rail-
road board, declares that he thinks he
sees his way clear to make the state
job holders give up their passes and
other corporation courtesies. No doubt,
Coleman, Kelly, Burrow, ct al, win re-
gard such an idea as highly treason
able, and if Taylor takes any such ac-
ton as it is evident he contemplates he
may just as well expect to be scratched
off the gangs eligible" list. But if the
attorney can find any sort of salve in
the good will OF the people in such an
endeavor, he will go ahead and make
the office holders yield up their passes.
Some day Kansas is going to make an
end OF the pass subsidy, and anything
that can be done to hasten the new deal
will be highly appreciated. Pitch in,

WAGES PAID BY THE PUBLIC
The Grand Central station in New
York is reported as about to cut off all
wages from their red-capped porters,
who are now said to make so much out
side of wages that there are many more
applicants than places to be filled The
change would mean nothing, as the por-
tiers are now allowed to make it clear
that they expect travellers to pay and
that somewhat literally. The Pullman
conductors last year complained that
they earned less than their porters re-
ceived in fees, and there are even con-
ductors who are not averse to indicating
q willingness to increase their earnings
by the charity or recompense for cour-

street at the rate of about twenty miles
an hour. There was a chicken in the
road. Neither saw the other until they

as the rabbit attempted to jump over

the collision resulted. The track was

derailed.-South McAlester Capital

10 PARENTS or BOYS

The WiIkesbarre Leader reads a
wholesome lecture to parents of boys,
which is applicable to Annapolis, as
we'll as wilkesbarre, an we'll worth
serious consideration by all fathers
and mothers The Leader says:
at may always have been so, but
IL is especially true today, that this
country is producing higher type Of
womanhood than of manhood In all
our towns and cities there are more
young women whom yon would vel
come TO your homes as daughters-in
law than young men whom you would
welcome as sons.in. law.
.'There are reasons why this is so,
but there Is no excuse that ii is so.
There is nothing IN the world so well
worth looking after as the boy and
there is no human being so neglected.
We have provided little place, scanty
room for him. He is welcome to the
home as baby and he is welcome as
q man, but there is little welcome for
him as a boy. We chaperon our girls
and carefully guard them against IN
worthy boys, but we leave the boy TO
choose for himself his associates and
his achievements We give him much
sage advice, perhaps. but little sym
pathetic guidance. The loneiiest.
most unloved human creature is the
boy.
Girls are naturally winsome, gen
tie, companionable. They win way
in homes and hearts But the boy,
noisy, awkward, misohieyous. is in
vited into few homes and feels none
too much at home ia his own. Abont
the only door that swings with sure
welcome TO the boy. about the only
chair that is showed near the fire es-
pecially for the boy, about the only
place where he is sure of cordial
greeting--is whore he ought not TO go.
Ii is one OF the hardest things in the
world TO get hold of a. boy--to get a
sure grip on him. 1t is bard TO win
the companionship, the faith aud con-
fidence of your boy. he has almost
occult powers of observation and con-
elusion. You think you know him
through an occasional glance, but the
chances are 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
partnership of boys, and nothing will
take its place If the crime of selfish
ness has so incased your heart that the
joys and hopes of your boy cannot en-
ter into it. the boy is. TO be pitied, but
so are you. Few fathers and sons are
more than fairly intimate acqaintan.
oss. II is always the fathers fault. "

Is CRIME pEcREAsINc7

The statistics of crime committed
in 1904 are voluminous and comprise
a maze of figures which few outside
the students Of penology would care
20 read as diversion. But they are
interesting, nevertheless. says the
Cincinnati Commercial Tribune. and
in no feature so much so as in the
showing of decrease in crime, though
without ON adequate increase in pun
ishment for crime committed.
The number Of homicides committed
during 1904 exceeded 5000 shock
ingly large number, yet falling more
than 500 below the number Of homi-
eides in 1903; but of legal executions
there we're only 1l6. In financial
matters, Notwithstanding the meteoric
flashing of Mrs. Chadwick across the
Northern Ohio sky. the loss caused by
defaults were less by one-third than
in 1908, while as to lynohings the
moat gratifying showing is made.
The total number during 1904 was on
ly eighty seven, too many, no doubt
but the number is less than that Of
any preceding yaer since 1883. -Four
OF the lynched were white. and five
OF the lynchings we're in states north
OF Mason and Dixon's line-one in
Ohio, two in California, one in Idaho
aud one in Wyoming.
Taken altogether, the record of 1904
is whittier than the record of 1908.
and, il not absolutely white, is a
pointer to what public opinion can
do. and Co what sursr punishment for
homicides. North or South, lynchings
OF individual, would 90 if it were ad.
ministered. II the world is not grow
ing better, it 10 not giving any out
ward sign of growing worse, and the
disappointment of the pessimist will
trouble nobody. But let 1908 do even
better. especially in the matter Of
punishment of homicides and OF
lvnchers.
