The Saloon vs. The Child.

! Some one has made it a study to find out the number of child ren attending school in both licensed and unlicensed cities. They have submitted tables which show that 17 children out of every 100 are deprived of an education in license cities have to go to work earlier in life to help support the family.
 This goes to prove that the saloon n-keeper gets the money in stead of the home.
 It is still worse in the high schools out of every 100 lose higher education where license prevails. Isn't this terrible to be a fact? Just as a child reaches the age where he or she can study and grow into a refined, cultured manhood or womanhood the opportunity is lost to them forever and they go to work in store or factory to live d hum drum life forever.
 Hear what Attorney C. w. Trickett says in reporting the conditions in Kansas City since the prohibition law has been en- forced: Our juvenile court re- ports that there is almost a total suspension Of demands for aid for dependent children. Child ren who formerly had to help a drinking father make living for the family, are now attending the public school and we had to em ploy Is additional teachers"
 The fight for prohibition is a fight for untrammeled childhood.

twilight m the RockieS. The towering mountain rears ,ts massive
 head
 Against the azure sky; The wreath of snow upon it's crest gleams
 red As eventide draws nigh. The glitt'ring peak reflects the last bright
 ray An arrow of pure gold Shot from the quiver of the dying day, Thro realms of space untold. The mountain torrent rumbles at my side. And races toward the sea; Great boulders strive in vain to stem the
 tide:
 A parable for me. The deep ming shadows. veil the granite

 wings, The eagle seeks her nest Among the hemlock boughs, the night
 wind sings lullaby of rest. Warren E. Comstock.

 LIFE LINES IN THE STREETS.
Furnish Safety from the Deadly
 Clutch of tho Bora"

That which was once Illyria is now Dalmatia, or, rather, that part of H. lyria which reaches to the Adriatic is Dalmatia. the half-forgotten coun- try" as the Austrians called it when 1t fell into their hands not so many years ago.
 It is one of the few bits of Flu. rope that remain in a measure un- hackneyed, and it is still out of the beaten paths of the tourist, who him self is almost as much of a curiosity to the people as they are to him There are seasons according to a pictur- esque article in Appleton's Magazine, when the bora blows, that wind of death,' as the natives call it, which comes out of the blue with more than the suddenness of tornado and shakes the earth and all that is on the earth, stinging, blinding, choking. In the square of Trieste life lines are prominent features, which the citi- zens must grasp when the bora clutches them, and they grope their way through the whirling dust and the promiscuous missiles flying in the darkened air. But the bora goes as quickly as it comes, and when it is gone the people simply excavate them more about the winged demon, which has left no trail whatever in the re- stored serenity of the secured sky

Of imports this harbor has long se- cured the lions share, and that share is not materially diminishing. In 1897 imports here were valued at $4S1, ,OOO.- 900. In 1907 they had reached a valu. ation of $s5S,OO0,0O0 Nsw York's gain was 79 per cent; the gain of the country at large was about 90 per cent.

NEW GAME FOR FAT BOY.
Cleveland Gamins Have Devised
 Something Really Novel.

A bunch of small boys who were disporting themselves the other after noon on corner near the public square, have discovered a grand new game
 They said it was lots of fun, and it is absolutely harmless. And 1t is not game that requires extensive ap- paratus. The only important require ment to play the game successfully is a real fat boy.
 The youngsters who were at it had the fat boy. He was about as fat a boy as one could mention. With this fat boy and lead pencil apiece in the hands of the other boys, the par ticipants had everything that was re- quired for the game.
 Here is the way the game is played: The first player takes his pencil and places the eraser end against the fat | boys abdomen Then he pushes the abdomen as far back as 1t will go and releases the pencil. The fat and mus cles bounding back into place act as sort of a catapult and hurl the pen cil for six or seven feet.
 Then another boy tries it, and an other, until all have had their turn. The one whose pencil flies the furthest wins. About the only drawback to the game is from the fat boys point of view. Unless there is more than one fat boy playing he is always it" Cleveland Plain Dealer.

What il a Churc Without n Stecplc?
Some of the church structures re-
Gently built in New York City indicate
that the old-fashioned steeple Is not
popular with modern architects. The
Madison Square Presbyterian church,
the pastor Of which is the Reverend
DR.. Charles II. Parkhurst, has an i'm
mense dome, is an example OF the
new style of ecclesiastical architecture
Situated at the corner of Madison
avenue and Twenty-fourth street, IL Is
one of a group Of the most striking
west, little more than a hundred yards
away, is the tall Flatiron; across
Twenty-fourth street is the Metropoli-
tan Life. one OF the largest office
buildings in the world; two blocks to
the north is the Madison Square Gar
den; and across the square is the Fifth
Avenue Hotel. the old time rendcz-
| vous Of national politicians.
The church proper and the parish
house are Joined so as TO form Il
, structure. The exterior Is OF bricS
| upon a marble base. The floors and
dome throughout, and the partitions
in the parish house are maze Of terra
| Gotta tile blocks, so that absolute safe
ty from fire Is assured. The cost NJ
the church and parish house was
1925 900.
Another house of worship even
| stranger than DR.. Parkhurst's Is the
Broadway Tabernacle Congregation
all, at Broadway and Fifty-sixsh street
It has the appearance Of a combination
church and Office building. II Is als1
Of the most modern freproof construc-
ton. being built Of steel protected 81
hollow terra Gotta blocks. II cost
$4,000.
The Tabernacle has a tower. but
not the sort commonly associated with
churches. All OF 1t is put to use. On
its first floor are the Sunday school
rooms. Between them and the bclfry
there is room for all the activities OF
the church organization. Mission
rooms and a ladies' parlor are on the
third floor, the young mems library on
the fourth, the pastors study. recep-
ton room and church library on the
fifth, the sections living quarters Oh
the sixth and museum on the seventh.
Above that is the belfry. In the base
ment are two spacious halls for al;
sorts OF gatherings.

Washington, June 1o.-Secretary
Wilson, of the agricultural department
was the principal witness before the
supreme court of the District of Col
umbia in the trial of former Associate
Statistical Holmes M tie charge of
pr~ematurely divufging cotton crop re-
ports.
Holmes attorneys made an effort
to show that the secretary was pre-
JUDGED in his statements and tried
unsu~ccessfully to make him admit
that he (the secretary had been gull
ty both Of giving out r informa-
ton in advance of its legitimate pro-
mitigation and suppressing Informal
ton indicating froud He also ques-
toned the secretary about charges
against himself.
Secretary Wilson maintained that
the rule Of secrecy had been enforc-
ed and answered in the negative when
Mr.. W~orthingtOn asked him if he had
not himself given out in speeches ad-
vance information concerning the
crop reports. He said hat since the
discovery had been made concerning
Holmes methods he had had all the
reports from the field sent TO him. He
also said that he had never sent his
son Jasper Wilson to the bureau Of
statistics TO represent him during the
preparation of the report.
Mr.. Wilson stated that he had new
er tried in any way to influence the
conclusions of the statistician. He
! would not admit that the statistician5
report had been more influenced By
the newspaper crop estimates than by
the official reports.
Mr.. Worthington took up the ques-
ton of charges against the secretary
himself saying he did so for the pur-
pose Of indicating a possible bias By
! the witness against Holmes. Il would
not be surprised" said the secretary
in reply to the question, eff there
were charges against me at the time
the matter became public but there
have been such charges before a:
there have since"
He was then asked whether 1t was
not true that he had entered into al
agreement with Broker Van Ripper,
Of New York. to keep fro mthe public
names Of certain persons given him
b ythe latter. He said he had no re-
collection of any such understanding.
During the controversy Mr.. Worthine
tor said that the secretary had sup
pressed information about charges OF
fraud. i8<
The secretary had not concluded his
testimony when court adjourned fol

Norfolk. Va, June 10.-The famous
Princess Anne hotel, at Virginia
Beach, Va, built 70 years ago, and II
OF the handsomest summer resort
hotels along the middle Atlantic sea-
board, was destroyed by fire whicE
had its origin early today in the kitch-
en-, supposedly from a defective fue.
In two hours n entire hotel building
together with the Norfolk and South
ern depot, the bowling alley, hotel
laundry, engine house, the Office of the
Virginia Beach Development Company
and all the board walk in front of the
hotel had been wiped away. There
were 10 persons, guests and employees,
in the hotel at the time. All are
thought to have escaped with the
exception of Emma Clark, a negro
chamber maid, John Eaton. the white
steward, and an unknown special
guest of Manager Mitchell. That a
score or more persons were not lost
is attributed to the great herOism of
Carl BOeschen a young sergeant with
the Richmond Light Infantry Blues.
who, rushing from oOm to room,
awakened the sleeping occupants,
many of whom barely escaped in their
night clothes. Boeschen finally fell
exhausted and had to be borne from
the burning building. The loss on the
building is s185, 900, with only $50 900
insurance. Manager A. c.. Mitchell.

But for the work Of a bucket brigade
made up principally of women cot
tagers, led by Mrs. Tucker. daughter
Of the bishop co-adjutor of southern
Virginia. the entire ocean front of
the cottages north OF the hotel would
have been wiped out. The women
worked like TrOians while negro men
stood by and offered no assistance.
