Papa, will marry George!"
"Neyeri"
The young girls eyes flashed, and
fathers, to say nothing of her own,
mantled her cheek with an angry
flush. The old man was excited, too.
Parent and child confronted each 9TH

Child, child, it is for your good that

The beautiful woman shivered. Her
lips curled scornfully or thereabouts.
What wouldst have me do, sir?"
With infinite grace he led her to a
seat. He considered it a great en-
dorsement to have things come his
way thus.

nodded.

A Secret Of Success.

1t Is usually the man with little,
dingy, ill-lighted store who says he
cannot afford to advertise. Such a
man, like the Chinese, lives In the ira
diticns OF his ancestors and stays
poor, while the merchant who keeps
abreast of the times, builds store
OF which he is proud, buys goods for
which he can vouch and then sells
quickly by advertising And speaking
of the cost of advertising and the GUS
toners having to pay for it, don't
you know it is an actual proven fact
thtat wear and tear of goods kept on
the shelf piles up expense many times
more than the small advertising cost.
Twentieth century customers, consult
the newspapers for an answer to their
wants. and If your goods are not adj
yertised there, the conclusion is nat
ural enough that you haven't anything
in stotck worth advertising.

merchant can make is to advertise in

Irrespective of party affiliations, the
friends of Mr.. Newton d. Baker in this
city are glad that his administration
of the legal department of the city OF
Cleveland has been such as to win
for him magnificent Endorsement
against all the power that President
Roosevelt and his administration
could bring to bear. That he ran SC
far ahead of even Tom Johnson strik-
ingly illustrates the hold he has
upon the esteem and confidence OF
both the republicans and democrats of
his adopted city. May Nevis polit-

CHILDREN AND THE STREETS

Punishment by the law for violation
of a CITY ordinance, for indulging in
otherwise innocent, healthful and
necessary play, does the moral nature
of a child harm. AS the law classes
nlay among the crimes to be punished,
the child of the tenements perhaps
ilIogically, learns to class other and
really serious offenses against the law
as among his proper amusements to be
INDUCED in merely with the same vigi-
lance to avoid police observation that
he is forced to exercise when engaged
in healthy and innocent recreation.
1t Is urged that the streets are not
places in which children should be per-
mitted to play. But the child must
and should play somewhere. Outdoor
play is necessary for his healthful
physical and moral development and
growth He is injured physically when
afforded no opportunity for healthful
play, and he is injured morally when
he finds the laws of the community
chasing healthful and innocent play,
when he INDUCES in such in the only
place which is open to him, as among
crimes to be punished by imprisonment
with other lawbreakers.
The proper remedy, of course, is to
furnish public Fairgrounds within easy
access of every child in the city. Until
that is done, however, innocent play,
even in the streets, should not be
classed among the criminal offenses.
AS a British general. in command of
the city of Boston during the Revo-
lutionary war, felt justified in uphold
ing the protest of the boys of that city
against interference by the soldiers
with their customary sports, the civil
authorities of Seattle will be justified
in letting children alone when playing
in the street, until such time as better
places are provided for them.-Seattle
