Two Daily Pnners,

Two daily papers were published on the
special car by the newspaper men-"Thc
Daily Coyote" and THE Yellow Pup" Mr..
Hawks prints the following sample of the
greeting of the former to the latter:
An alleged rival of the Daily Coyote was
whelped yesterday, bearing the peculiarly
appropriate name of the Yellow Pup. The
name is well chosen. The scurrilous publi-
cation is so yellow it-makes the sands of
the desert look opalescent lavender. We
beg the indulgence of our readers for in
sulting them by even taking this brief
notice of this unspeakable mongrel. Its
outro geous attacks upon our most re-
spected citizens put it outside the pale of
civic decency.
1t Is n factory married to a tannery. II
smells to heaven. A copy was dropped
from the rear platform of our moving city,
but the buZzards Of the desert fed from II
in wild dismay and hold their talons over
their beaks so as to avoid shifting the pol
luted air.
Abas the Yellow Pup.
Conspuez.
Long live the Daily Coyote.
And as final, perhaps somewhat sur
prising, conclusion he says:
a surprisingly large per cent of the news
paper men were teetotalers, and some of
them did not even smoke.

Fl ModeI Sentence.

No persons have better oppor-
tunities to perform practical tenn
perance work than police court
judges. The other day teamster
was brought before Judge Pollard
of st. Louis charged with being
drunk and frightening his family.
The judge offered the man choice
of two months in the workhouse
or of signing pledge for a year.
He chose the latter alternative.
The judge then imposed on him a
fine of $25, suspended it during
good behavior, and instructed him
to report on certain dates after
work hours to the judges house,
bringing his wife with him. If he
keeps sober for a year he will be
free. If he is found drinking, the
suspended sentence will be en-
forced.
For two and a half years Judge
Pollard has been requiring men
charged with drunkenness, who
are not confirmed drunkards. to
sign the pledge. Very few have
broken it. After a year of sobri-
ETY. many of them choose to let
liquor permanently alone. Judge
Pollard says: II would rather
make my court a tribunal of ref
ormation than of punishment.
[ want to do the best for the de-
PENDANT and the city" Such SEN
fences are better than sending a
man to the workhouse or peniten-
tiary, depriving his family of sup
port. Other police court judges
might we'll initiate Judge Pollard's
example. Northwestern Christian
Advocate.

Che Quarterly Report.

Inc pOstpOnement OF tOday's
meeting, by virtue of which it
does not take place within the
time designated as the first quar-
ter Of the present Chautauqua
year, should not rightly, I think,
interfere with it's being known as
the concluding one of that period;
and altho it. cannot be made a
part Of this report, it would be
we'll, perhaps, to have it appear in
the records of the Pierian Circle
as was originally intended which,
however, is a matter for the circle
to decide.
In preparing this review, which
is more a matter of form than
anything else, no attempt mas
been made to elaborate; but in or
der that an otherwise dry topic be
made somewhat agreeable, I have
chosen to state briefly and with
such occasional comment as has
seemed not out of place, the do
lngs of this organization in the
three months just passed. Let me
assure you that in so doing it is
far from my purpose to bellttle or
in anyway criticize what has been
done by the circle in this time;
also that it is equally far from my
desire to declare in fowery Ian
guage that no like period in it's
history has been so bountifully
supplied with good things literary,
or otherwise to give undue praise.
So, while it cannot be said that
we have been unusually active,
neither can it be said that there
has been any lack of interest in
our work. nor that our efforts have
not been marked with a reason
able amount of eagerness and
earnestness and the resulting ben
eft that comes as reward for
such application. The latter fea-
ture is as it should be, for we can
in no other manner better show
our appreciation of the privileges
afforded us.

During the time covered in this

During the time covered in this
report the circle has held six ses-
sions, all of which have been we'll
provided for in the way of pro-
grams consisting Of class and

Gus subjects of interest, as we'll as
OF occasional musical numbers and.
Rotations, each of which has been
credit to the individual men,
bers, and to the circle.
Twenty-three papers have been
read, which may be classified as
follows: Current Topics, IL; BIZ
ography, 3; Adventure, 2; Jour-
nalism, 2; Science, 2; History, 1
and Education, l. The discussion
following the several papers has
been general, as a rule, tho at
times of a desultory nature, and
again, with ring and soundness
that would hardly be expected
from sojourners in durance vile.
The membership has decreased
slightly. At the beginning of the
present administration there were
twenty mine members, three of
which have been discharged from
the institution, three have re-
signed, and one was suspended
for cause. Out of five who have
sought to become Pierians, four
have been accepted and duly
enrolled making a total of twenty
six. Attendance has been exoep-
tionally good; there having been
but three absentees, all of which
were on Oct. 18th.
One of the things for which the
circle may justly be proud, is that
it has had the services of able and
fearless critics who have thereby,
perhaps, and unfortunately if so,
become unpopular in some quar-
tiers; but the majority seem to
favor the kind of criticism we
have been having, and it is to be
hoped that there will be no serious
dissension on that score.
The current studies consisting
Of italian Cities, "Studies in the
Poetry of Italy," ideals in Greek
Literature and History of Greek
Art" have not been in circulation
long enough to expect any reports
on them, but the impression seems
to be that they are more interest
ing than the titles suggest, which
is, to say the least, encouraging to
those Of us who favor the strict
adherence to the class studies.
Respectfully submitted.
