1t Is said that some Of the club wom-
en- of New York complain Of the way
in which the parks Of that city are
Uttered up by parties Of children, says
ii western paper.
No doubt such complaints have been
made, for there are finical women ev-
erywhere. but we doubt if the whole
burden Of the attempt to block the
childish fun should be laid at the door
of the club women. who are often the
objects of unjust criticism. We should
rather suspect that the idea originated
with those denatured women. whether
members of clubs or not, who sport
dogs instead of children.

In these days when many materials
are used in common by three different
generations Of women. a transfer or in
terchange of garments is really very
easy matter. After all, the material
itself counts for far less in a gown
lust now than does its correctness of
line and the individuality expressed in
its trimming, says the Delineator.

The wise girl needs no advice as to

are found than of the other. There are
girls who consider all love affairs more
or less as jokes, even those that lead
to marriage. Their point of view is
determined sometimes by their associ
ates and sometimes by the part Of the
country in which they have been
reared. In certain sections it used to
be the custom not to announce an en-
gagelnent until IL very brief period be-

der these circumstances a girl seemed
to take keen pleasure in concealing
her new relationship from those about
her. l have known of girls who would
not hesitate to deny point-bank the
fact Of their betrothal, even within a
few weeks of their marriage. l once
heard a girl say: "AIl my fun would
be at an end If my engagement were
announced. l shall have to live with
one man for the rest Of my natural
life. and l mean to fly about little

One would he tempted to condemn
this sort Of thing unreservedly were it
not that those same tlirtatiOus girls
often become the most devoted wives
and mothers. and never bestOw look
or thought upon other men after
marriage. But, although there are in
stances of this kind, it is decidedly
unsafe rule to follow. More than this,
1t Is unkind and unfair to all the par

men in England. all destined to be old
maids unless some provision Is made

Famous Smokers.

There are some famous smokers
in Europe, but perhaps none equal
an Austrian and a Hollander, both
now deceased. An old man who died
in Vienna kept a record of his smok-
ing since he was 81 years old. In
forty-five years he smoked no fewer
than 62S,713 cigars, or 1871 a
year, giving an average of SO a day.
Out of this gigantic total 1880 we're
given him at various times, leaving
5S5,213, which, although this Aus
trian devotee at the shrine of my
Lady Nicotine never paid more than
a penny for each one, cost nearly
e2500. Even this marvellous record
is beaten by that of Mynheer van
klaes, known by the nickname Of
king of the smokers" He was 81
| at the time of his decease, and some
times smoked as much as ten pounds
of tobacco in a week. How strong
with him was the ruling passion in
death was shown by his funeral. At
his express desire ne was placed in
a coffin lined with the wood of old
cigar boxes. By his side were laid

box Of matches. flint, steel and tin.

The Texas record of %lynchings
vas not SO heavy during the year
of 1905 as it might have been. Two
were burned and eight others were
hanged, nine Of the ten being
negroes. Prompt action of officers
saved several other lynchings, but
in only one instance were troops call
ed out, at Edna, when Monk Gibson
would probably have been executed.
The list is as follows:
Negro burned in Ellis county;

Negro burned in Hopkins county;

In Behalf of Childhood.

In the Southern States there are
$4,000 children, from six to sixteen
years of age, working in the cotton
mills alone. They have little holiday.
even at this season. and the working
day is twelve hours in most of the
states. Many of these little ones
must work at night.
The National Child Labor Commit
tee, organized a little over a year ago
has already succeeded in securing
laws for the better protection of the
toiling children in twelve of the
states. Our southern states are be-
hind the others In this humane legis-
iation. Some OF them have no laws
at all, and no enforcement of the
laws they have.
In the meantime the very strength
and vigor of our pure Anglo-SaXon
stock is being sapped by this system
of working the little children. And
the children can make only the mute
appeal of their helplessness to be de-
livered from this slavery.
The National Committee, on which
there are twelve prominent Southern
men, has established a Southern Of
flee in Atlanta with a Southern man
in charge. Funds are needed for the
legitimate expenses of the Legislative
campaigns now in prospect. Every
dollar given by Southern people will
be expended 10 protect the little chill
dren OF the South from the fearful
consequences of 100 early toll.
In the name of Him who was born
a little child. and who loved the little
children, this appeal is made at this
sacred season for this sacred cause.
In the happiness of your own chill
dren. think of the little workers at
the looms and among the spindles.
