A City's Young Girlhood.

The triumph of law in a noted case
promises safer life for the young
for girls-that must go into the
world early, if it rouses the commu-
nity's sense of moral responsibility;
hardly otherwise. We mean by that
to point the fact that city life and
conditions of civilization make very
difficult certain things for certain
people. Human nature, it should new
er be forgotten. nas properties" as
certain and we'll defined as a chemical
quantity. 1t will, under certain con-
ditions, develop certain results. There
is always the individual exception
the root out of dry round; but TAX
EN- in mass, humanity, housed, fed
worked under certain conditions, will
produce certain results-as certainly
produce them as plants will
The application is not hard to
make We might give a general name
to the great need for the protection
of young girlhood in city by calling
it parental care. And by laying EN-
phasis on it, asking that it be thor
oughly considered, we might, all of
us, soon come to realize that for
much young girlhood in a city there
will be no parental care except that
which comes from the outside. as
charity comes to poverty-stricke dis
tricts or medical aid to a plague spot.
We might as we'll recognize first as
last that in city the conditions of
life are bound to be such for a large
number of people that individual pa
rental care can not exist, that is in
the normal sense that we here give
to the term And the moral influen-
ces of a community must supply this
just as the municipality supplies sani-
tary ions.-Indianapolis News

Say it is 40 Years Old.

Strange things seem to happen in
Macy, little hamlet in Fulton coun
ty, few miles from Plymouth Over
there they find freaks every few days
and the people are kept pretty thor
oughly shocked over the strange
things that are found concealed only
few feet below the surface
The latest freak is the discovery
by well diggers, of layer of ice, nine
feet thick, at depth of twelve feet
below the top of muck sink hole on
the farm of William Savage At first
they thought the find was glass, made
by nature at some early date A clos
er examination showed it to be ice,
however, and as the ground above
was not frozen, it is a mystery how
ice could be deposited twelve feet
under ground
Using a pick the workman dug
through the strata and found it to be
nine feet in thickness. In one of the
blocks taken out a large green frog
was found. The cake was broken and
the frog carefully taken out, and
when placed near fire it hoped off
as nimbly as though it had just awak-
ened from a nights repose-Bourbon

The People Govern.

Whenever in state or city the pow
er falls into the hands of corrupt or
reckless men. pessimism cries out
that popular government is a failure
That is an error similar to that of the
man who, seeing chip borne up
stream by an eddy near the bank OF
a swift-howing river, should declare
that the current was not strong
enough to carry down piece OF
floating wood There are occasional
failures, it is true. They are inevitable
so long as human nature is not per
feet When an abuse becomes flag
rant the people rise in their might
and remedy it. There is something
awe-inspiring in the terrific force OF
a verdict of popular condemnation al
the polls. Even when offenders are
not condemned absolutely the warn
ing of greatly reduced majority ha

Lincoln and His Mother.

When that wilderness mother, Nan
cy Hanks Lincoln, died in the log
cabin in Spencer county, Indiana,
whittier the family moved from Ken
tucky-she put her hands on the head
of year old Abraham and said:
I'm going away, my boy, but |
want you to remember that your
mother wants you to be a good and
useful man"
And always, we know, Abraham
Lincoln felt his mothers hand upon
his head, and determined to make his
mothers dream of him come true.
Pluck, persistence, spirit of endurance
plus a mothers love and longing,
made Abraham Lincoln great.
The touch of vanished hand and
the sound of a voice that was still
was not the least of the forces in his
great life.

Golden Wedding.

Could they have been present at
the Golden Wedding Anniversary of
Mr.. and Mrs. S. J. Nicoles, of Walk
erton, last Wednesday, ST. Valentine
and Cupid would have laughed for
JOY and drawn their bows for another
shot; for on that day the work Of
these two arch match-makers COM
pleted its full round of fifty years and
none have arisen to challenge their
wisdom. Had they appeared on the
scene unlimited, they would have
known themselves TO be welcome. for
the house was decorated from parlor
to dining-room with valentine hearts;
and they would recognized numerous
mementoes of the day when they first
sent these two young people forth
into their kingdom.
Around the board were seventeen
who have reason to thank these hunt
ers of hearts who made this anniver-
sary possible by successfully bringing
off wedding fifty years ago.
These seventeen were Mr. and Mrs
A. c. North and family of Plymouth;
Mr. and Mrs. B. A. Byers and family
of Garrett; F. T. Nicoles of Omaha,
Nebraska; E. NJ North of Chicago:
Mr. and Mrs. James O. Parks of East
Chicago; Mr.. and Mrs. w. A. Tank
and Edna Nicoles of Walkerton.
Mr.. and Mrs. Nicoles were old time
residents of Plymouth.

The Simple Way Out.

There can be no doubt that Senator
La Follette's eruption over an alleged
graft in the Choctaw and Chickasaw
lands bill will disgust a good many
persons of correct taste and venera-
ton for the quiet, conservative states
manship of the old school. 1t is past
contradiction that the unconventional
and unceremoniious methods OF men
like Theodore Roosevelt, Frank Han
ly and Robert La Toilette are exceed
lngly distasteful TO numbers that have
been accustomed to consideration
and schooled in dignity and decorum
10 all such let us tender a word OF
respectful advice Granted that the
humiliation or extinction of this type
of public man is desirable of achieve
ment, then there is one simple way to
compass that end. This is to remove
out of their way all such opportunit-
les of activity as they are afforded in
attempted graft in any form. So long
as public men commit themselves to
unworthy practices like the one un-
covered in the Senate Tuesday, just
so long will men of the La Toilette
type detect the graft and lead the
people to its exposure and punish
ment The persistence and audacity
of these fellows is colossal Has it
never occurred to the army of graft
that upright conduct is the effectual
way and the only way to head them
off f?-Indianapolis Star.

Gifts to White House Bride.

Miss Alice Roosevelt "Wednesday
received the wedding gift which the
French government had intended for
her. The gift consists of beautiful
gobelin representing Justice" and
was offered to Miss Roosevelt by Nj.
Jusserand, the French ambassador.
1t was understood that President
Roosevelt had informed several Eu-
ropean powers that it would not be
agreeable if they sent especially ex-
pensive gifts, and accordingly most
European governments are expected
to send small gifts merely to express
their good will and wishes to the
daughter of Americas first citizen,
but the French government had al
ready given orders for the manufact-
ure of this rare piece of tapestry. The
piece though not very large is inval-
liable, as that particular kind of go
belin is solely made for the French
government on special occasions.

Big Money in Copper.

More than half of the worlds sup
ply of copper IS produced in the
United States. For several years our
most productive copper mines were
those of the Lake Superior and
Michigan regions. The Calumet and
Hecia began its wonderful career in
1871, and for more than ten years it
produced more than half the output
of Michigan. On a capitalization of

Hanlv Will Be Sustained.

1t has become plainly apparent that
Governor Hanly will be sustained in
his crusade against derelict state Off
ciials. The deafening applause that
greeted his pronouncement that the
public service must be purified and
kept so, in his speech before the Lin
coin League at Marion, removed all
doubt as to what the attitude of the
party will be when it meets in state
convention. Whatever the personal
views of politicians may be regarding
the action of Governor Hanly in
pushing Sherrick and Storms to the
wall, the wise ones among them know
that the governor has popular senti-
ment on his side, and opposition
thereto would not only be useless but
politically suicidal.-South Bend

Not the China of Old.

OF one thing we may be sure,
which is that the world has not the
same China to deal with that it had
years ago. China, wonderful to relate,
has changed and is changing now
with rapidity. 1t is much to be doubt
ed that another military expedition
to Pekin similar to that of 1900 could
be now safely undertaken. And, GER
tainly, were the new army to be used
against an international force such
an undertaking as the Pekin expedi-
ton of 1900 would be madness. An
invading force enormously larger
than the allied contingents of that
year would now be necessary. This
belief is based on trustworthy reports
concerning the size and character oi
the reorganized Chinese army, whose
maneuvers late in the autumn were
critically watched by expert foreign
observers.-Springheld, Mass, Re

Marriage of Consumptives.

The marriage of the tuberculous is
perhaps frowned upon by all physi-
clans, the majority of whom would no
doubt advocate the prohibition of
such unions. 1t is considerable of a
surprise, then, observes American
Medicine, to learn that DR.. Charles
Valentino, of Paris, has declared that
these marriages are desirable. He
bases his opinion upon the we'll
known fact that the disease itself is
rarely If ever transmitted, and that
there is an immunity possessed by
many of the off f-spring of the tuber-
culous. He shows that though this
infection is more frequent about the
age of 90, its appearance in those of
tuberculous parentage, if they acquire
it at all, is somewhere between 35 and
So He acknowledges that where one
partner alone is infected the other is
contaminated in 16 per cent. of the
cases, and that this infant mortality
is quite high, particularly where both
parents are tuberculous, but he thinks
that these disadvantages are far out
weighed by the advantage of breeding
up a race of immunes.

Not Grateful to Uncle Sam.

We know how sharper than a ser
pent's tooth it is to have thankless
nation upon which we have conferred
the very greatest benefits. In 1900
we saved China from he European
nations that were ready to make the
boxer" trouble pretext for dividing
the country among themselves. The
Chinese seem to be more furious
toward us than toward any other
foreign devils" We ran serious risk
of war with England ten years ago in
behalf of Venezuela from the fleets
of her creditors and Castro and his
friends are little more bitter toward
us than toward European nations. Ii

mate friends was going to invade us
with 10000 troops and capture New
Orleans.-Philadelphia Record.

Will Move Suddenly.

President Roosevelt knows today
to the last detail all things connected
with the present situation as it affects
the miners and the mine operators.
He will know in full all that happens
between now and April 1, but it may
be said with assurance that the state
ment is right that for a long time to
come the president of the United
States will make no public utterance
in the matter of the threatened coal
mine trouble
1t also may be said that if a strike
comes the presidents word on the
subject will be withheld until that
word is necessary from his point OF
view to stop disorder and to relieve
distress that can be stopped and re-
lieved in no other way than by repi-
tition of an act of Intervention which
has now become history.

Zion City Girl Dies.

Estella Smith, the pretty school
principal of Zion City, who was ter
ribly burned by the explosion of a
lamp, died in agony early Tuesday
without the attendance Of doctor
and begging for medicine.
For forty hours she lived in pain,
without any medical attendance what
ever, and with only the prayers of the
followers of Dowie to minister to her
hurts.
AS a result, J. L. Taylor, acting
coroner of Lake county, will hold an
inquest and attempt to learn who was
responsible for barring medical aid
from the dying girl.
|, The Zion authorities were obdurate
in refusing to give the girl the at
tendance ofa physician, even after she
lost her courage and pleaded for a
doctor
Conscious up to the last moment,
the young woman had been continu-
ally exhorted by elders and deacons
to forget pain.
Even those who attended her with
prayer declared she suffered extreme
torture and admitted they were great
ly, moved by her pitiful outcrys to
elders and others for medical aid.
Her suffering was said to have been
more extreme than that of Esther
Dowie, who died from a similar acci-
dent four years ago.
AT times when her slight form con-
vulsed with the terrible pains she
cried pitifully for any sort of relief
After a series Of spasms she seemed
to relapse into Inconsistencies, but
the sufferers eyes shot appealing
glances from one to another.
The poor woman had never suffer
ed any pain in her life and she did not
know how to rally against the or
deal" said Deacon Chamberlin "You
see, if she had known what real pain
was she would have been better fitted
to bear up under the terrible suffering
she was undergoing 1t was because
she did not know that she surrender
ed to the affliction"
Deacon Newcomb is said to have
declared that prayers of Zion had
prolonged the life of the sufferer and
that it would have been miracle il
she had recovered.
