him to hold Office and neglect it's duties.
Now everyone knows that laws intend
ed to control vice are not enforced. We
might US we'll acknowledge. that the
ones who are really to blame, are the
voters who put men into office knowing
before hand that theyNmay.be counted
on NOT to enforce the law.
But there is anotherIpoint of view.
1t will not do to lay the blame entirely
on either boys or girls or officials.
The trouble lies more often with
the parents. Possibly ga Mother" is
now accusing herself of negligence and
criminal carelessnsss. Some people
think it is enough to bring children
into the world and care for them while
they are helpless. After the the chill
dren grow up they are allowed to run
the streets day and night. They are
together promiscuously without over
sight. What can be expected under
such conditions? What we SOW, that
we reap.
l suggest that parents who love their
children set the following as part of
their duty. To see to it:
1st.-That their children see in
themselves models Of purity, temper
ance and honor.
Can father expect his son to 60
right while he himself goes all wrong?
2.-That the home is made as bright
as possible and every means taken to
induce the children to stay in it.
Can you expect the children to stay
at home, where there is no chance to
have 9heir friends play with them?
3.-That they ARE NOT LEFT
ALONE. The parents are the natur al
ompani0ns for their children. The
latter need the friendship, companion
ship, and help of the former MORE,
NOT LESS, as they grow from child
hood into young manhood and woman
hood.
Let the fathers give up their even
ings to their boys and girls, not merely
to spy on them, but to enter into their
interests and pleasures. l know that
children do not resent this when it is
done out of love. Rather they are
proud of being considered worthy of
older friendship and respond to it
nobly. What is an opportunity for
fathers is not less so for mothers.
And while l know that there are
some children who will resist the Mt
most endeavors, yet when all has been
done that could be and one such goes
astray, he leaves behind indeed sorrow
and pain, but no remOrse. The fathers
and mothers hearts may be broken,
but they are not tortured with the
agonizing thought that had their own
own lives been different, their child's
might have been different also.
When all has been tried and still the
child goes wrong, we may say it is an
unexplainabls mystery. But how many
unexplainable mysteries are there in
the lives of our own boys and girls here
and now?
Trusting that you will go on, Mr..
Editor, giving the people the facts and
all who love their children will stand
by you, am, Faithfully yours,
ALLEN K. SMITH.

SLOT MACHINES.
They Were Used During the Time
and Reign of Harnesses.

4 correspondent of the Boston Her
aid writes: at is true there are few
things new under the sun. Air beds or
what we call pneumatic beds, were
used by the Romans before the Chris
tian era. The most remarkable dupiica-
ton of an old invention is the nickel
in-the-slot machine This was first
used during the time and reign of Ram
eses, in the eighteenth dynasty OF
Egypt, for the purpose of supplying
holy water. that which had been bless
ed by the priests, to the people who
desired it. The machine was urn shap-
ed, with a small cylinder inside
through which ran rod connecting a
valve at the bottom OF the cylinder
with one at the top. These were oper-
ated by lever. which closed the bot
tom valve while opening that at the
top, when the cylinder would fill with
fixed amount Of water. TO obtain the
water cup was placed at the outlet a
coin of three draehmae, equal to about
10 cents of our money. was dropped
into the slot ON TO a scale pan IN the
end of the lever. This opened the cyl
inder at the top and closed the lower
valve allowing the coin 10 slide Off, the
weight of water closing the top valve,
opening the lower one and allowing the
water to run into the cup. This is the
basis of all patented slot machines OF
the present time aud dates back to
nearly 5000 r. c."
