Boys and Booze.

Listen, boys. You are young, mex.
pcr'enced in life's requirements. Your
environments may not be of the best or
purest, Your associates. like your
selves, may have had the disadvantage
of bad examples set by the heads OF
families who should have been models
safe for you to follow. Ii is Il fact that
it is hard to break away from habit
a habit formed in youth has a frmer
grip than one formed in maturer years.
1t takes manly resolution to overcome
it, BE careful what habits you form,
Nn unbridled tongue breeds deadly
poison to morals and society. Our
sckJolS and churches foster learning,
ten perancc and piety. Without these
no person aud no nation can be great.
Our institutions need the support of the
boys aud girls whom they educate.
You know, boys, that the poison of
tho serpent is deadly. You are ready
to shun and slay the serpent, You
know that the poison sold in the saloon
is dangerous to health, society and
morals You ought to know that the
liquor traffic is national peril, layin 9
burdens on the taxpayer, encouraging
crimes aud defying the laws Of the
land.
In my mind the only thing which
perpeluates the saloon in this land in
this enlightened age is the bribc in
the form of the license, by which the
courts become partners, protit.sharer
and 80 tolerate the evil. BY far the
larger portion Of crime is due, directly
or indirectly, to drink. You read of
combines threatening the overthrow of
the government. The saloon system,
tolerated by law, is greater menace,
and more dangerous to our national
life.
The history of the world shows that
the fall Of every nation has been due to
internal causes. The corrupting in.
iuence Of the saloon has been univcr.
sally recognized. Let the home arm
the boy against the run power. Let
the girl refuse the hand of the inebri.
ate. Let the courts be firm and look
after the interests Of the boys, without
recruits from the ranks of whom the
saloon would soon die natural death.

VIII 1t be the Monoraii:

1t is being asked, and not without
considerable pertinence, "Will the rail
road transportation of the future be
over a single rail?" The question is
saner than it seems. BY reason of q
recent demonstration of the posi- bill.

Royal Society of England by Louis
Brennan, the question gains new per.

wolves the application Of the seemingly
erratic and contradictory forces dis
played in that mystifyiug toy, the
gyroscope.
Another solution of the mOnorail
transportation problem is presented in
the invention of Howard II. Tunis, Il
Baltimore engineer. Based upon his
system company has been organized
to construct monorail road between
Jersey City and Newark. The follow
ing condensed description OF and state
ment of the claims made for the Tunis
system is taken from literature sent
the Republican by Mr.. J. w. Burbank,
OF Boston, Massachusetts.
The system TO be used differs radi.
calfy from the Bchr monomil system,
proposed for road from Brooklyn to
Coney Island. 1t is the invention of
Howard Ii. Tunis, a Baltimore en-
gineer. 1t is claimed that it can be
constructed at less than halt the cost of
airolley road: that it can be operated
at one-third the expense, and that
eighty miles an hour can be made with
ease and safety. From the eXplana-
tions given out yesterday il appears
that the chief feature of the new
scheme is its simplicity, Briefly stated,
the system consists OF Il long, somewhat
narrow, cigar.shaped car, running on
two trucks of two wheels set tandem,
each over one rail. Overhead the car
is supported by AN equilibrium device
which holds the car upright under all
possible conditions and at the same
time acts as a conveyOr of the electri.
cal current, doing away with the dam
gerous third rail. BY reason of this
device it is possible to operate extreme.
ly light cars over an extremely light
structure. With such cars the invent
or and others claim that one hundred
miles an hour can be made easily.
Supported above the car by iron bents
on each side of the track are two small
L.shaped rails about thirty inches
apart. The equilibrium device con-
sists of a ladder-like trolley pole
arrangement. at the end of which there
are ball-bearing guide wheels that run
on the L-shaped rails. The trucks on
which the little wheels rest may not be
removed from the rails without taking
the structure apart, so that there is no
chance OF the wheels Jumping" and

Thank God some of us have,

whose white, jewelled hands never
have felt the clasp of baby fingers;
but dear old-fashioned, sweet.

the love-light shone, and brown
hair threaded with silver, which Law
smooth upon her faded temples.
Those dear hands worn with toll,
gently guided our tottering steps
in childhood, and smoothed our
pillows in sickness; even reaching
out to us in yearning tenderness
when her sweet spilit was baptized
IN the pearly spray of the river.
Blessed is the memory of an old
fashioned mother. 1t floats to us
now, like the beautiful perfume OF
some woodland blossom. The
music of other voices may be lost
but the enhancing memory of hers
will echo in our souls forever.
Other faces will fade away and be
forgotten, but hers will shine on
until the light from heavens por.
tails shall glorify our own.
When in the htful pauses OF
busy life our feet wander back to
the old homestead, and crossing
the well-worn threshold, stand
once more in the low, quaint room,
SO hallowed by her presence, how
the feeling of childish innocence
and dependence comes over us,
and we kneel down in the molten
sunshine streaming through the
western window,--just where, long
years ago, we knelt by our moth.

How many times when the tempter

not hidden from our sight the glory
of her pure, unselfish love.

CULTIVATE GRACEFULNESS,

The chief distinction in society
between the "attentions" of the
thoroughly graceful gentleman,
and one who simply knows the
rules, is that the former pays them
without attracting notice. A lady
hardly realizes that anything is
done for her--she only knows that
the gentleman is agreeable.
Does the young man ask how he
he shall cultivate this unconscious
gracefulness? Some men, the
reader says, have the gift by ma
ture. True-but with rare ex.
ceptions, nature declines to make
her gift available without culture
and care. There is but one way
to cultivate the case of which we
speak. Never willingly allow an
opportunity to pay graceful at
tention pass without taking ad-
vantage of it. Never, we say, not
even with the sister, or mother, or
most intimate cousinly friend. 1t
is mistake to regard those things
so "too formal'-they are formal
only when they are awkward.
There is not single polite atten-
ton called for in society which is
not appropriate at home. If a
sister drops handkerchief, do not
give her an opportunity to pick it
up herself--unless you wish to be
constrained and slightly awkward
when you are called upon to pick
up handkerchief in the drawing
room. If mother is getting into
a carriage, offer her hand, even
il it is purely matter of form.
Nor are these attentions of young
men to their near relatives valu-
able and called for only as mat
tiers OF practice. Genuine polite
ness demands them at home as
we'll as in society.

purpose in life to the pupils of the

gard money as above everything else
and declared that there were more
sacred obligations to be fulfilled than
those measured by riches. He said
in part:
IF l were not in a money center
where many of the people regard
money as greater than anything else,
| would say that there are some OBJ
legations more sacred than those that
are measured by money. The obliga-
ton of the child to the parent, for
instance The obligation to those who
have furnished you with free school

gave us a free government, in which
we can participate; and higher than
all else, is our obligation to our Hea-

FARMER USES AN
AUTOMOBILE PLOW
Crop Hauled to Market by
Same Power.

MEADE, KAN, Oct. 24.-lSpeciaD
With an automobile to run his blows.
a farmer living near this place has
taken a great step in the solution of
a great problem.
The new autotractor has many
points of great merit In reality it
is a combination of the traction en-
CINE and gasoline motor. But it is
much lighter than the old engine.
The car now in use weighs only for
ty-one hundred pounds and is of
thirty horse power 1t may be run
with gasolene, alcohol or kerosene.
1t has two speeds, the low one for
use in the field and the higher one for
the road. 1t moves across Meade
county sod, the toughest to be found,
pulling gang ploughs that turn six
burrows at a time, and it is done so
easily that effort is not noticeable.
When the time comes to haul the
wheat crop to market train of wag-
ons is hitched behind the autotractor
and hauled down the road at the rate
of six miles an hour. When doing
none of the movable class of work
the machine may be staked down and
be made to run any machine on the

clude everything from the churn to

where the housewife is helped in
much of her drudgery by the applica-
ton of the new invention.

SUNDAY BALL GAMES
WILL NOT BE STOPPED
Protest Made Against Ma

PHILADELPHIA PA, October "a
| (SpeciaD-In answer to protests on
the part of Presbyterian and Method
list clergymen against outdoor games
at League Island on Sunday, officers
of the yard declare these games to
be an invaluable moral influence in
the lives of the thousands of men
who are stationed there at different
times every year.
AS a result of this belief, shared
by every man in authority at the
yard, Sunday baseball and Sunday
football, now that the baseball sea-
son is ended, will continue.
Far from stopping it," declared
Rear Admiral Pendelton, command
ant of the yard, Il shall use my in
fluence to have as many of the men
as possible be either participants or
onlookers at the Sunday afternoon
sports"
Only formal order from the Secre-
tary of the Navy will change this
decision In view of the fact that
officials at Washington, especially the
President, are known to be keenly
interest in developing the athletic
sports, and that the custom of play
ing outdoor games by enlisted men
of army and navy is as old as the
service, it is not believed at League

Under rules prevailing in the SER
vice from time immemorial Sunday
has been a day of rest and recreation
for officers and men. The lives of
our enlisted men, afoat and ashore,

haps, but extra work is to be done,
and every man on every ship earns
the breathing spell that comes with
Sunday.
