natural law, the state of Washington
has just adopted juvenile reform
law which is sane and practical.
a case coming under the new law
in Walla Walla is worthy of notice
as an illustrations; A boy years old
had been employed as beer "slinger"
with his parents consent. The sher-
iff Immediately took charge of the
child, taking it from the custody of
its parents and placing it with respon-
sible people until the case could be
heard.
The parents and child were sum-
moned before the court and the pa
rents were made to give bond that
the child would not be allowed to fol-
low its evil occupation longer and
now both parents and child report to
the court every week. If it is found
that they permit a violation of the
order of the court, they are subject
to a heavy fine and the child will be
taken from them and sent to home
for such unfortunates.
This is juvenile reform law which
will accomplish results. When worth
less parents are hailed into court and
made to face a Jail sentence or
heavy fine for allowing and sanction
ing wrongdoing in their children, the
children will soon be made to observe
the law and be decent.

SKETCH SIR CHARLES TUPPER.

Sir Charles Tupper, who might
justly be called Canada's Grand old
Man." was born July 2, 1921, the son
of Nova Scotia clergyman. He re-
ceived his education at Acadia and
Edinburgh universities. He was re-
turned to parliament IA consecutive
times by his native county of Cum
berland, Nova Scotia, and represented
it for 81 years. 1t is now more than
half a century since he became a
prominent figure in public life by de-
feating for the Nova Scotia assem-
bly, the Hon. Joseph Howe, then lead
er of the liberal party in tina tcolony.
AS the great leader of the confed-
Grafton movement in the Maritime
provinces, Sir Charles did much to
make the Canada of today possible.
During his long career in public life
he held most of the portfolios in the
federal ministry at one time or an
other, as well as the premiership
of Nova Scotia and the office of high
commissioner of Canada in London.
In 1896 he was for time the prime
minister of Canada. In 1887 he was
one of the British commissioners to
settle the fishery disputes with the
United States, and in 1893 he helped
to negotiate treaty between Canada
and France.

ALL HAVE IRISH NAMES.

An interesting fact about the col
iegc presidents of Indiana was
brought out at the meeting of the
Rhodes scholarship committee at
Indianapolis this year. The members
of the Rhodes scholarship commit
tee for Indiana are:
President Bryan of the State uni
versity, President Huges of Dupauw,
President Kelley of Earlham, Presi-
dent Mcintosh of Wabash and Presi-
dent Cavanaugh of Notre Dame.
These are good Irish names, all of
them, yet Father Cavanaugh is the
only Catholic on the committee. One
might possibly speculate on the
vicissitudes which have led so many
bright Irish boys into the wrong
camp.-Catholic Sentinel.

WORSE THAN FAT MEN.

Secretary Taft has tried various
formulas for reducing weight, and
perhaps has succeeded to some ex-
tent, but he could not have been a
small or spare man with his line of
progenitors. Nobody can outwork or
outtravel him, and his physical en-
dowment therefore is better than
common. Caricaturists find many
worse things in the celebrities of the
day than a tendency to get above the
250-pound mark. The fact is that
the lean Taught at the fat with a touch
of envy, while the fat laugh at things
generally from a genial sense of hu-
NOR and friendly feeling, Secretary
Taft will continue to smile as he
works and munches his gluten bis

A PRAYER FOR THE BOY.
O prairie, Mother of my West,
Take this small waif to your small
breast:

O prairie, Mother of my West,
Take this small waif to your small
breast:
Let his feet love your changeless
ways,
To teach him firmness all his days;
Let your fields, stretching to the sky,
That sets no boundary to the eye,
Give him their own. deep breath of
view,
The largeness of the cloudless blue;
Give him to drink your freshening
breath
That will not brook a thought of
death;
So he may go eternal young
Along your marshes, that have flung
Their yellowlng willows draperies
To the keen sweetness of the breeze;
And, prodigal of April hours,
Take benediction of her showers;
And when across the prairies come
The yellowhammer's fife and drum,
Then let him wander as he will,
From hill to ever-rising hill,
From your spring mornings. warm
and bright,
surcharged with quivering, living
light,
Until the haZy sun at last
Withdraws and leaves the pallid, vast
Immensity of the sky and moor
And gray dusk closing swift and sure.
In quiet let him bow his face
Before the Presence in that space,
When ghostly white the primrose
stands,
The spirit of your twilight lands;
See the pale jewel of the evening
skies
And hear the meadows drowsy cries,
And, last sweet challenge through the
dark
The clear, thin whistle of the lark.
So, prairie that l loved and blessed,
The boy may know your way is best.

While banking he was associated with Edward Wrenshall, the father of his fiancee, and Mr. Smith He soon left the bank and went back to California. but not until he had he consent of his sweetheart to become his wife. After going to the coazt he soon left off banking and started in the real estate business, which aa still follows. His father U. s Gran. Jr.. is one of the prominent busine men of San Diego.

 Secretary Taft is not man of wealth. He has always had to live on his salary. and secretary's salary does not go far in Washington
 The Tafts, therefore, do not enter tain in any showy way, though they are able to select their friends from among the most interesting people, and their fondness for music has brought them in touch with musicians and artists.

JUSTICE HARLAN of the United J States supreme court, aged Il years, made home run and won the game in a baseball contest at the an, nual shad bake given by the Wash ington Bar association at Marshall Hall. Md. the other day.
 When Justice Harlan went to the bat the score was tie and the um- pire had called two strikes and three balls. It was critical and exciting moment, when Justice Harlan smash ed the sphere a wicked swat squarely on the nose and drove it to deep cen ter. He started around the bases and his leg work was really marvellous.
 His sprinting qualities surprised and delighted the fans. who were wild with enthusiasm. The ball went over the head of the center fielder and was lost in the tall grass.
 Before it was recovered Justice liar Ian had reached the home plate, where he stood sipping a mint julep which had been prepared hurriedly for the agile Kentuckian as a reward for lin ing out four-base hit and showing the younger element how to get around the bases.
 II is feared there will be vacancy on the supreme bench, as Home Run Hazan has already received offers oi cont acts from number of ball teams

Ghosts of Dead Lakes.

In the great basin between the Rockies and the Sierra Nevadas lie the ghosts of many dead lakes. Riv- CTS still flow down to the dry edge of these one-time great reservoirs and are licked up by evaporation and the chinook winds. Of all the lakes that once lay there, only Great Salt Lake, Lake Tahoe and Bear Lake are left. The Southern Pacific rolls for 165 miles across the bed of what was once Lake Lahontan, and the passengers gazing idly from the windows may see the terraces and wrinkles in the crust of the fossil lake which nature robbed and defrauded of it's crystal tre asures ages ago-Exchange

THE NEW INSURANCE AGENT.
He Comes in With the New law-Paul
 Morton on His Opportunity.

The new insurance law of the State of New York has opened up a promis- ing field for both men and women with brains and energy in the sale of life insurance. The law now provides standard forms of policies. each of which practically bears the hall mark of the State of New York. and this new order of things has established the sale of life insurance on a correct basis.
 The prohibition against rebating and extravagant allowances to agents has driven out of the business the old type of insurance agent. who in many cases virtually bought business. with large rebates. instead of selling it.
 His place is being taken by profes- sors. lawyers. school teachers of both sexes. and others, who find that being life insurance agent under the new system offers greater reward than their previous vacations. The law has reduced commissions but all of the commission now goes to the agent. Life insurance is something that everyone needs and under the pres ent system its sale is being conducted with becoming dignity and propriety.
 Paul Morton president of the Equita- ble Life Assurance Society, has taken the lead in building up an agency or ganization that is in keeping with the demands of public sentiment. and the standard he has set for his company. He says: We want new agents. both men and women, but none except en- ergetic, able and truthful people need apply. For such there is a splendid opportunity"
 Mr Morton's policy of injecting new and vigorous blood into the agency force of the Society is meeting with success in all parts of the country.

PALE, WEAK PEOPLE
MADE STRONG AND ENERGETIC BY DR. WILLIAMS PINK PILLS.
General Breakdown Caused by DeH- cient Blood Quickly Corrected by
 This Tonic Remedy.


 A feeling of general weakness, poor appetite, loss of breath after the slight est exercise and broken sleep are some of the symptoms of general debility. You may think that they have no relation to each other and that you will worry along, hoping all the time to feel better soon. This is a mistake, for every one of tho symptoms is caused by bad blood, which must be made pure and new before health will be restored again. A tonic treatment is necessary and for this purpose there is no better remedy than Dr. Williams Pink Pills.
 MT. J. c. Havey, of 95 Willow St., Chelsea, Mass, says: 'I was sick for D number of years from general debility and indigestion. l was never free from stomach trouble and my nerves were so shattered that the least excitement un- fitted me for any serious work. My sleep was restless on account of terrible pains in the small of my back. These pains would sometimes last for a month or two. Mysight grew weak. there seena- ing to be a blur constantly before my eyes. couldn't concentrate my mind on my work. and the attempt to do so completely exhausted me.
 "l was finally forced to give up a position l had held for twentv-eight years. After trying several medicines without help, read of Dr. Williams Pink Pills and gave them trial. They made me feel so much better and so much stronger that I started in business for myself here in Chelsea. I have never had return of my former sick ness snd eheerfully recommend Dr. Will. Hams Pink Pills as all excellent nerve and blood tonie.'
 Dr. Williams Pink Pills have long been recognized as an excellent tonic remedy il cases of indigestion and gen. eral debility, where the stomach and other organs of the body are weakened and disolsered simply through lack of proper nourishment. They have also been especially successful in curing anaemia, rheumatism, after-effects of tie grip and levers.
 A pamphlet on Diseases of the Blood and copy of our diet book will be sent free on request to anyone inter- ested.
