For awhile they were silent. Billy

his leg still thrown over the tiller, was
engaged In devising torments to which
Malcolm should be subjected If he had
his way.
Neither noticed that a breeze seemed
TO be springing up from the west. They
were under the lee of Catlin island,
with its steep bluffs, and spinning
along nicely. Wescott island was only
half q mile beyond the larger island,
and already it seemed to Tom that he
could make out Nancy and Malcolm
sitting on the rocks at the point. He
was just about to reach out for the
glasses when the boat slipped out from
under the protection of the cliffs, and
with a slap the strong wind struck the
sail.
The next instant they were founder
ing in the water. Tom couldn't swim
but Billy grasped his collar and hoisted
him on to the bottom of the upturned
boat

manded as he slipped off again. He

then padded toward the boat. Here's

gested Tom, who for the first time saw
that Billy's teeth were still clinched
on the stem. ''They have seen US and
are coming out"
A rowboat had put out from the
camp. In it Malcolm and one Of the
servants were pulling furiously, while
on the shore Nancy could be seen wav-
ing frantically.
Malcolm bent his back TO the task,
and presently as they came out he be
gan to shout messages of hope.
Bet he thinks we're drowned and
don't know it." laughed Billy. who had
abandoned his quest for floating prop

him to ease up. that there was a chance
for salvage. but Malcolm did not IN
derstand and kept on putting and pull

The whole camp was on shore to

fine style. Have you a barrel ready 2"

It is probably one Of the first Opin-
ions wherein a conspiracy is sanctioned

right Of workmen to combine in trade
unions in order to secure the economic
advancement of their members is also
unquestioned, and such unions are gen
orally regarded as beneficial institu-

and the relations between employ er

PASS THE G0LDsBOR0yGY BILL.

The fathers and mothers Of Maryland
can do splendid service for their boys
by writing to their representatives in
the House Of Delegates andurging them
to vote for Senator Goldsboroughs bill
to prohibit the sale Of cigarettes. The
bill has already passed the Senate and
is now in the House. There is strong
lobby against it backed by selfish inter-
ests who care only for the revenue de-
rived from the sale Of the coffin tacks, "
as.the littIe,cyiinders are sometimes call
ed. This lobby is working in the inter
est, principally of the Tobacco Trust. 1t
is not believed that many of the mem
bers will have the nerve to stand up and
vote against the measure, but there are
other ways of beating bills, and one Of
the favorite ones, when the matter is
for the public good, is to allow The bill
to fail for the lack Of a constitutional
majority, which, in the House Of Dele
gates, is fifty-one votes. Urge your
representatives, then, not only to not
oppose the Goldsborough bill, but to be
in their seats when it comes up and cast
their votes for it.
The physicians Of the world are not
agreed that tobacco used in moderation
is harmful to adult men, and, therefore,
it wonld not be proper to unhesitatingly
advocate the complete suppression Of
of the traffic in the weed. But medical
men are a unit in saying that tobacco is
a dangerous poison to growing boys, and
it so happens that these, almost with
one accord if they use tobacco at all,
use the cigarette. If men must have
tobacco, let them smoke pipes, and
cigars, or masJicate the weed, if they
can reconcile the latter with their ideas
of cleanliness, for they can get along
very well with these. If boys of tender
years were compelled to begin the to-
bacco habit by using a pipe or a stronr
cigar, they would much more hkel.
postpone the evil day until they were
nearer the period Of maturity. We have
not gone into the question of the special
harmfulness of the cigarette over other
forms of tobacco, for physicians (especi-
ally those who use cigarette themselves)
are also divided on this point. 1t is en-
ough to say that the cigarette is wreck
ing the bodies and brains of thousands
of the boys of our land, and that if the
sale of them were prohibited entirely
there would be a much smaller number
of young smokers.

in this State of Maryland, which we are
fond of speaking of as one of the choice
spots on Gods footstool. We have law
governing child labor now on the statute
books, but it is Ineffective and is largely
Edead letter. The Maryland Child
Labor Committee, which is endeavoring
to alleviate the condition of the little
toilars, has drawn up bill that is in
tended to gradually raise the minimum
age at which children may be employed
to i years, which is certainly low en-
ough. The bin has already been
introduced in the Legislature and there
is no reason to think that it viii be Sc
riously opposed. The only danger that
it may be neglected
The tender age at which some children
are forced to do regular daily work is
almost incredible to those who have not
investigated. A recent study made by
agents of the Child Labor Committee
showed thatin a group of two hundred
children employed in mills, factories
and shops one infant worker was only
six years old One was but one year
older, three were eight years old, three
more had seen an additional mirthless
birthday and the ten and eIeven-year
group included six and ten children, re
spectively. About time for some ad-
ditional legislation, isn't it?
It is to the interest Of employers as
well as employed that the future work
men and workwomen of their factories
shall not be deprecated in productive
power by being forced, and fail to be
profitable just at the time when they
should be at the period Of their great
est value. 1t is TO the interest of the
whole country thaJ as large percentage
as possible Of its citizens should be
strong aud robust and of the highest
productive power. 1t is to the interest
Of the happiness Of generations yet I'M
born that their ancestors should be
strong and healthy men and women. 1t
is to the interest Of the taxpayers that
there should be few spent men and
women depending on charity for their
support. And, lastly, it is to The inter-
est Of Christianity that mercy and COM
passion should be shown to those who
were the beloved Of the Redeemer, and
who so frequently show in their own
little persons attributes which remind
US that man is indeed the child of God.

was consumed in the fires of the pas
sion on the time. Many in the South
continue to believe that had the spirit of
Lee, rather than that Of Davis, been
brought in touch with the spirit of Lin
coin in a conference involving the peace
and happiness of millions, the war would
have found its end in Hampton Roads
and not at Appomattox. And, that stand
ing on the last deck of the sinking craft
Of Confederate fortunes, any consonant
with honor would have been far better,
wiser and more humane than hopeless
continuance with all that was doomed
to follow.

WASHIEGTGN'S BIRTHDAY.

The observance of the anniversary Of
the birth of Gen. George Washington
today will extend around the globe like
a girdle Of true American patriotism,
for in these twentieth century days the
sun never sets upon "old gIory.'
Wherever there is a colony or a group
of Americans, be it in Cuba, Hawaii or
in the far-away Philippines, there is
sure to be q George Washington cele-
bration, and the life and character Of
the great man win be lauded.
George Washington was born III
years ago, and the celebration Of his
birthday anniversaries has been Of a
quiet and dignifed character, in stlik-
ing contrast with the noisy demonstra-
tons on the successive Fourths Of July.
This is in accordance with the quiet and
dignified demeanor which invariably
marked the father Of his country. The
first celebrations Of the day We're con-
fined to his native state, Virginia, but
the custom in later years spread to all
parts of the Uuited States, and latterly
to the colonies and the consulates and
embassies abroad. The celebration to-
day promises to be general and national
in it's character and in every community,
hamlet, village, town and city Of this
republic where reverence is universally
had for the great statesman, soldier,
iberator and President, there will be
no lack Of interest in the auspicous oc-
casion, and many ceremonies and func-
tons will mark the day.

ABRAHAM LINCOLN.

Reading accounts Of birthday observ-
ances occurring as they should, in most
every quarter of the United States, in
memory Of this famous American, and
noting much eminating from lips and
pens to concentrate the lights of a
public estimate both upon his official
and private career, it is strange to see
with what unanimity so many in silence
pass by On the other side" touch
ing his journey from Washington to
the Hampton Roads peace conference
between the heads to the warning coun-
tries. Futile as were the results Of that
meeting Of statesmen and dignitaries,
looking to a cessation Of hostilities and
a restoration Of the Union after a de-
vastating war Of four years, President
Lincoln will tower above it as q great
and magnanimous man in history.
1t may be recalled that the South re-
lied upon right to Withdraw from the
UAion derived from the Federal compact
woven in the revolution of l776, while
the North maintained it should resist
disunion at any cost it's powers could
impose. Briefly speaking this was the
issue from which the conflict merged.
Late in the winter Of 1865, but a few
mouths in advance Of Appomattox, in
reponse, it is understood, to proposals
from the Confederate government,
President Lincoln went to Hampton
Roads and there met Vice President
Stephens, Ar. Hunter and Judge Camp
bell bearing credentials Of commission
crs from the Confederate government
to treat upon terms Of peace.
Had President Lincoln been states
man Of inferior qualities, moved by
greed of revenge, he would not have at
tended such meeting but would have
employed the opportunity then in view
to punish his foes and exuIt over their
ruin. No one could know better than
did he that the Federal armies were
never SO powerful nor as resistlessly
massed, and the armies Of Lee were
never so reduced in numbers and NUM-
tons and SO deprived Of q reserve from
which to draw. With these facts clear
ly traced upon the wall before him he
was not only willing but did go to the
Hampton Roads meeting in the interest
Of an adjustment for peace. The rock
upon which hope shattered in the con-
ference was, it is believed, Mr.. Lincoln
insisted that he did not possess constitu-
tional authority to treat with states at
war against the Union, but if they
would put down their arms and trust
him, he would do all in his power to in
duce Congress to confirm or make bind
ing the agreements of that meeting.
The Davis government at Richmond
sent its rejection of all not secured bv
official confirmation. When this disap-
pointing announcement was received
from Richmond, it is said as a last re-
sort, Judge Campbell appealed to Mr..
Lincoln to recede in some measure
from his belief that he could not treat
with states in armed opposition and in
eXtenuation Of his appeal the learned
jurist ventured to remark, Mr.. Presi-
dent, in English history there is prece-
dent in which Charles the LIST treated. 8"
"Ah, - interrupted the irepressible
humorist with deprecatory lift of the
hand, edo not mention Charles the LIST,
the one thing | remember of him is he
lost his head. "
And thus universally hoped-for peace
