She Always Made Home Happy.

A plain marble stone, in New Eng
land churchyard, bears this brief in
scription. She always made home
happy" This epitaph was penned by
a bereaved husband, after sixty years Of
welded life. He might have said she
was beautiful and accomplished, and
an ornament to society, and yet not
said she made home happy. He
might have added, she was Christian,
and not have been able to say, 'She
always made home happy"
What a rare combination of virtues
and .graces this wife and mother must
have possessed. How wisely she must
have ordered her housed In what pa
tence she must have possessed her
soul! How self-denying she must have
been. How tender and loving. How
thoughtful for the comfort of Others
Her husband did not seek happiness
in public places, because he found
purer and sweeter enjoyment at home.
Her children, when away, did not
dread to return, for there was no place
so dear to them as home. There was
their mother thinking for them, and
praying for them, longing for their
coming.
When tempted, they thought of her
When in trouble, they remembered
her kind voice and her ready sympathy.
When sick, they must 60 home; thew
could not die away fom their dear
mother.
This wife and mother was not exemnt
from the cares common to her place
She toiled; she suffered disappointments
and bereavements; she was afflicted in
her own person, but yet she was sub
missive and cheerful. . The Lords
will concerning her was her will. and
so she passed away, leaving this sweet
remembrance behind her, ''She al
ways made home happy. The Fra
ternal Leader.

Why Hate the Liquor Traffic.


Gov. Hanly, in a speech before the
republican state convention OF his
state, gave his reasons for hating the
liquor traffic. He said:
Personally, l have seen so much OF
the evils Of the liquor traffic in the last
four years, so much OF its economic
waste, SO much Of its physical ruin, so
much of its mental blight, so much Of
its tears and heartache, that l have
come to regard the business as one
that must be held and controlled by
strong and effective laws. I bear no
malice towards those engaged in the
business, but hate the traffic. l hate
its every phase. I hate it for its intol-
erance. 1 hate it for its arrogance. |
hate it for its hypocrisy. l hate it for
its cant and craft and false pretense.
hate it for its commercialism. l hate
4 It for its greed and avarice. hate it
for its sordid love Of gain at any price.
L hate it for its dominion in poll
tics. I hate it for its corrupting in
auence in civic affairs. I hate it for
its incessant effort to debauch the suf-
frage of the country; for the towards it
makes of public men. 1 hate it for its
utter disregard Of law. I hate it for its
ruthless trampling Of the solemn COM
pacts of state constitutions.
I hate it for the load it straps to
labor's back, for the palsied hands it
gives to toll, for its wounds to genius,
for the tragedies OF its mignt-have-
beens. I hate it for the human wrecks
it has caused. l hate it for the aims
houses it peoples, for the prisons it
fills, for the insanity it begets, for its
countless graves in potter's fields.
/ hate it for the mental ruin it i'm
poses upon its victims, for its spiritual
blight, for its moral degrations. Ihate
it for the crimes it has committed.
hate it for the homes it has destroyed.
l hate it for the hearts it has broken.
| hate it for the malice it has planted
IN the hearts OF mentor its poison,
for its bitterness-lor the dead sea
fruit with which it starves their souls.
l hate it for the grief it causes wo-
manhood-the scalding tears, the
hopes deferred, the strangled aspira-
tons, its burden Of want and care.
I hate it for its heartless cruelty to
the aged, the infrm and the helpless,
for the shadow it throws upon the lives
OF children, for its monstrous injustice
to blameless little one.
I hate it as virtue hates error, as
righteousness hates sin, as justice hates
wrong, as liberty hates tyranny, as
freedom hates oppression.
/ hate it as Abraham Lincoln hated
slavery. And as he sometimes saw in
prophetic vision the end of slavery and
the coming Of the time when the sun
should shine and the rain should fall
upon no slave in all the Republic, SO I
sometimes seem to see the end of this
unholy traffic, the coming of the time
when, if it does not wholly cease to be,
1t shall find no habitation anywhere be-
meath Old Glory's' stainless stars"

BAD HOTEL FIRE.
Denver Has A Wild Fire Panic With
All Accomplishments.

DENVER, Sept. S-One man
plunged to his death and q hall dozen
others received probably fatal inju.
ries in a wild panic that followed the
discovery OF FIRE in the Belmont Ho'
tel this morning
Guests awakened from their sleep
by the cry Of FIRE rushed pell nell
into the halls. hemmed in by flames
from all sides and in mad effort to
escape fought and struggled while
rescuers were forced back by columns
of smoke and the mounting flames.
For several minutes, while the blaze
worked It's way to every corner OF the
structure, the terrified victims were
helpless, and finally as II moved by
the same impulse all rushed forward
in mad desperation,
1t was estimated that least one
hundred persons were asleep in the
building when the fire broke ont, All
Of them had jumped from their beds
dressed only in their nigh, robes,
As soon as the victims reached the
street they were taken to other hotels
and given shelter for the night 1t is
believed the FIRE started from defec-
tive wiring in the third story.

MANY MATTERS.

There were many matters of inn
portance brought up and passed upon
by the Council and the meeting might
be taken almost as model one for
precision and dispatch. A vast amount
of routine matter was passed upon.
One of the little surprises of the ev-
ening arose out OF the telephone mat
ter. The Automatic Company, which
was understood that it had only until
the l1th Of this month to accept its
franchise, asked for an extension of
time in which to accept to October
TO- II was explained, however, that
under the terms of the initiative and
referendum laws the franchise did
not actually become a law until the
expiration of 20 days after the Mayor
had signed it, and this added to the
SO days granted by the franchise it
self, gives the company 50 days in
which to accept. Therefore the ordi-
nance in extension would be virtual

The most valuable contents Of the
box were three notes signed by
Henry w. Meyers and Milton l..
Meyers, the venerable merchants
sons who have been fighting him bit
1erly in the courts for the last month.
One Of these notes was for $4,000
dated in July, 1907, due in 10 years
and drawing 5 per cent interest, the
other two notes were executed by
the sons in the fathers favor last
spring, and were in the amounts OF
10000 and $4,000 payable on demand
with per cent interest These notes
cover the value Of the large store Of
Joseph Meyers & Sons, and new
stock put into it. As security for the
notes Meyers accepted the capital
stock in the store, $4,000 worth Of
which was also in the stolen strong
box.

man Belland was the only member
who voted against,
Il wish to explain my vote" said
Councilman Belland. "a man came
TO me today--a man who is repre-
sentative of that class of people in the
redlight district-and said that he was
strongly in favor of Mr.. Gordon. He
also said that all those people down
there are also for Mr.. Gordon, The
kind of man that those people want
is not the kind OF man that ! want,
and therefor / vote no."
Mayor Wise explained that Mr.
Gordon is in favor Of a decent, and a
@closed town." and that he had said
he is. After the meeting had adjourn
ed there was considerable discussion
about Mr.. Belland's attitude, and
while his honesty of purpose and con-
victions in the matter were respect
ed, there was disposition among
some to believe that some sort of a
trick had been played upon Mr.. Bel
land by man who merely pretended
that he and his kind are in favor Of
MI. Gordon. AT all events there is
general satisfaction that Mayor Wise
named so representative citizen and
that the council honored him with a
vote that was virtually unanimous.
Someone remarked that Mr.. Gordon
will not be me, too" man and that
he will work in harmony with the
others on the commission, Mr. Foard
and Judge Page. II is presumed that
the commission will meet soon to ap-
point a successor to Chief of Police

noticed last night that Councilman

thought might favor different can
