THE FUNNY SIDE OF M. O.
Politics In City oepartments-A Queer
peto-City Poles Downed.

Public Service is not a humorous
publication, but tcere were some fun
ny items in its December issue. Com
meuting Oh the proposition of the
Business Mems cluo of Cincinnati that
civil service rules should be introduced
into the municipa, department. Mr..
Miller. = member Of the board of pub
lie service is quoted as saying. II
think tie first requisite for IA good
official is that he Should he Il good
Democrat
The mayor Of Bluflton, Ind. is more
Subtly humorous. He advocates MT
nicipal ownership as an antidote for
monopoly and then vefoes q fran
chse for gas plahc because it would
compete with the municipal electric
light works and probably would re-
duce the city's $4,000 plant to Il mass
Of junk This is rather more than 4
tacit admission that the consumers acs
paying through the nose.
But the funniest thing Of all is that
some OF the citizens of Chicago had 70
go to law to compel the city electrical
department to obey its own laws. Be
cause such construction is much cheap
er this department undertook to erect
poles IN Il district where the ordinances
require wires, to- be placed under
ground. The citizens appealed to the
depaqment to protect them from what
they assumed TO be the intrusion OF a
private company. Instead Of being al
layed their indignation was rather in
creased when they learned their rais-
take, and they did not stop until the
city council passed an ordinance re-
quiring the removal Of the poles.

EASTON'S PLANT WORN OUT.
Rundown Machinery and Dark Streets.
Appeal to Corporations.

Appear TO SoTPoTdttons.
East1n. Pa, is one of the cities that,
having tried municipal ownership Of
lighting plants. have found it wanting
In recent message to the city coun-
ellis Mayor March said that, although
he is believer in the theory of city
ownership nevertheless he would pre-
private corporations rather than see
large districts in darkness, as has often
been the case in the last six months"
Continuing. he characterized this as
dangerous from the police point of
view" and unbearabe from the cti-
zen's. adding that if the city contin-
ues to operate the plant it must be
run as private corporation would run
it," There should not only be ecOno-
my but the machinery should be con-
stantly repaired and renewed, both for
efficiency and ito keep up with mod
ern progress in electric lighting
Much of the machinery being almost
worn out. he advises that arrange
ments be made to borrow current from
a-local company in case OF breakdown
that the city streets may not be kept
in darkness while repairs are going on.
He does not say what he would advise
were municipal ownership complete
and there We're no private companies.
Built in 1856. the construction cost of
EaSton's electric light plant to date
has been about $4,000. In Il summary
Of the situation the Sunday Call, which
appears originally to have favored the
enterprise, says the plant isn't salts
factory and the city hasn't the money
TO renew it. The companies must now
be asked 10 put in bids for city light.
ing The Call thinks they can furnish
it cheaper than the city can itself.
Easton's lighting experiment, the pa
per adds, has been costly and unsatis-
factory" The city was bonded to es-
tablish the plant. and now that it Is
remains.
Nothing has ever been charged up
for depreciation, but the people were
told that this was unnecessary, as the
plant was being kept in good repair.
Fifty thousand dollars was spent in
patching up" the plant. but tie state
ment that &c was kept in good order is
now proved untrue. and so Is the state
ment that the cost was less than a
private corporation would have eharg-
ed for the same service. though many
people believed both statements Cor a
time.
According to special to the New
York Times. women and children are
not considered safe on Eastons streets
IT night, and sixty firms and business
men have petitioned that the street
lighting be turned over TO a private
corpotetion at once.

The Dece ytios OF Distance.

"It's very deceptive to judge OF the
size or capacity of an object which is
fifty feet or more in the air." said an
architect to the writer as we were
passing the royal courts of justice Il
few days ago. "Now. look at that
clock" pointing to the law courts
clock, which hangs about seventy feet
above the pavement. 1T looks very
small, doesn't it? Hardly big enough
to hold O man. Yet party of Us
breakfasted in the case before the
works were put in" Every body
knows how deceptive Is the appear
ance Of the Westminster clock. Look
ing at the dial from the embankment
or from Great George street, 1t seems
as If a man Of medium size could cas-
lily stretch across the dial with both
arms. Yet 1t would take four pairs of
outstretched arms to cross 1t. The
minute hand, which looks like an or
binary walking stick, Is longer than
the two tallest soldiers In the life
guards. The figures ON the dial are
bigger than three-year-old child, and
the second dots are as big as a dinner
plate.-London Graphic.

about Cough Cure like DR.. Shops.
For years Dr. Shoop has fought against
Opium, Chloroform, or other unsafe in
gradients commonly found in Cough
remedies. DR.. Shoop it seems, has
welcomed the Pure Food and Drug Law
recently enacted, for he has worked
along similar lines for many years.
For nearly 20 years DR.. Shops Cough
Cure containers have had a warning
printed on them against Opium and

The Boys Brigade.

Brigader, the official journal of the
organization. The Boys League OF
the VI. +. Church, of this city, is
an auxiliary to the National League,
was organized some time ago and has
large membership. H. ID. Pollard
i Superintendent, Ira Sutherland,
President. Herschel Ramage. Vice
President; Harry Steele Secretary;
Lucien Walker. Treasurer
The Boys Brigade i military
organization. started and maintained
in Christian churches in all parts of
the world for the purpose of inter
esting the youths aud young men in
the cause Of Chritian Manliness.
1t has for its motto the following:
The advancement Of Christ :
Kingdom among boys and the pro-
motion of habits of obedience. rever-
ence. discipline, self-respect and all
that tends toward true Christian
manliness
When a boy becomes a member Of
the Boys Brigade, he assumes GER
tain dutie, toward, the church such
as promise to try attend as mauy
church and Sunday school services as
possible. He also incurs certain
obligations On the cause of temperance
and kindred habits are restricted, if
not entirely abandoned.
Most Of the boys cheerfully sub
cribe to these conditions and the re-
cords of the organization shows that
thousands of youths have been chang
ed from pernicious habits in early
life, to clearly. pure and hIgh-mind-
ed men. Even such as do not join
the church are given a new impetus
and aside from the spiritual advan-
tages they may gam are benefited
physically and morally, in general
sense.
How is this accomplished with
growing youths, subject to Turing
temptations of the world, Is often
asksd.
Largely thru the military features
is the undoubted answer. And by
military features, is not meant an
appeal to the military or savage por-
ton of boys nature. There Is, of
course, the inherent facidatiou of a
uniform, brass buttons and parade. -
all that goes to awaken pride in

and marching, the habits of attention
Of striving to accomplish some end,
Of aspiring to a position of command
