Is 1T A BLINDP

Mr.. Sherman of the Republican Con-
gressiOnal Committee appeals to the
Republicans Of the Union for 81 from
each to aid in electing Congressman
this fall. President Roosevelt is the
first to respond with his little mite of
81, and his letter published to the
world as glorious example and all
the others, especially the pie eaters"
are expected to go and do likewise.
Heretofore the trusts, the produc
OF high protective tariff, have given
millions to aid the Republicans to re-
main in power, TO buy and debauch the
sovereign voters TO think their way,
and OF course to provide ga tree ballot
aud fair count"
Roosevelt recently took up some of
Ei'yan's measures and lightly touched

said they were mad and would give no
more "boodle." But, suddenly, halt
came, a conciliatory truce was patched
up. and all was quiet once again.

politics for good. Watch and see This

children. They generally were there
to meet him when he came down from
town on Friday evening. Finding thai
they were not visible, he left the sta-
ton and took the road that led away
from the town and the harbor towards
the new suburb which had OF late years
set up in business as a watering place.
1t was cheap and healthy, and the boys
liked TO go down to the harbor and
see the ships and talk to the sailors.

he was walking fast, but as the road
began to rise his pace became slower
till, as he neared the bend where the
road turned toward the cluster OF red
brick villas. he was going quite
leisurely.
A man was sitting on the stile at the
corner-a tramp, he seemed to be.
Bannister frowned. He was a hard
working man himself, and he did not
like tramps-perhaps envied them a
little. His face assumed a stern look
as he went along.
AS he approached the man got up
and came slowly toward him. Yes, he
was a tramp; there could be no doubt
of it. His rough pilot cloth trousers

ing. He could see the chimneys of the
honse that had been his uncle's, the
house he had hoped would one day be
his own. 1t belonged to Charley Hud-
son now. So he had been told in the
| town.
But Margaret had preferred him
though some called him a ne'er-do-
well. Was it possible that she had been
waiting for him all these years?
The very thought made his heart
burn. 1t seemed impossible. 1t was
too much to expect from any girl. Yet
that man-what was his name? Ban
nister-he had seemed to think it quite
| likely. He must find out. He must
get some decent clothes so that he
might make inquiries. Some one in
the town must know what had become
of her.
Another thing-he must send back
that money to Bannister as soon
as possIDIe. But how was he to h.ld
him? He knew the mans name. but
not his address; and he was only a
summer visitor. He might not be able
to repay the money for weeks. He
turned and began running after Ban
mister as we'll as his clumsy shoes
would let him. A little. ahead there
was bend in the road, and he felt
sure that once around that corner he
would catch sight of him.
He turned the corner. and saw Ban
mister, but he was not alone. A girl
in a light gray costume was coming
rapidly to meet him. Two children
darted from her side, and outrunning
her, threw themselves into their
fathers arms.
The two, the man and the woman,
came close together. She held up
her face, and he stopped and kissed

But, of course, he could not know.

must know at once.
AT one side OF the road there was
a thick hedge, and a field on the
other side of it. The tramp ran back
to the gate. climbed over it, and then
ran, under cover of the hedge, so as 10

Encourage Cleanliness in Streets,
Houses, Bodies, Clothes, Food
and Drink.
The Woman's Health Club. of Boston,
is doing an excellent work in the in.
terests of public health by the publ
cation Of its booklets on hygienic sub
jects and particularly by those which
teach the great doctrine of cleanliness.
They are written in plain style,
which can be understood by everyone
who makes an attempt to read, though
it is to be confessed that they will
never reach the great mass of free
born naturalized American citizens
who never read anything-not even a
yellow newspaper. Yet they will ac-
complish much in the direction Of ed
ucating and enlisting leaders and
teachers of the future work for civic
and household cleanliness, and other
organizations could with profit emu
late the Boston example. 1t would
awaken more people to the theory that
they have a right to prevent injury
rom the uncleanliness OF others. Clean
streets, clean houses, clean bodies and
clothes, and, most of all, clean water
and foods-these are the prerequisites
of public health, and they are privi-
leges which everyone should enjoy.
1t has well been said that we have
Gods own country. mans own back
yards and the DEVILS own cesspool."
We have not yet emerged from the
of medieval cities-indeed,
it is but a century since London itself
was worse than a barnyard. At the
rate that we are pouring filth into our
rivers there viii soon not be a clean
stream east of the Rocky Mountains.
BY all means let the crusade go on.
and let the woman's health clubs re-
ceive our blessing and perchance some
more substantial assistance.
