think correcting these two faults
would be sufficient to improve the
tone of the place. He thought the
mon should be better clothed and bet

THE personal appearance of the
prisoner" he said, should be en-
2has1zed by a respectable suit of
clothes. tailor made. Numbered shirts
and polished shoes. When you con-
slider that IS per cent of them never

outside and have ~subordinated their
senses to overindulgence of passion. it
is worth while to reward them. You
cannot make a man better, you cannot
make him think better or act better
until you first throw about him the
best influences there are. 1t does not
cost any more to make a suit Of
clothes shapely than it does to throw
it together and hang it on a prisoner
as you would rags on a scarecrow.

Certainly. Why not? Why not in

for the gentlemen doing time to

Never Again to Taste Liquor.

Berlin, Dec. 19.-Emperor vii
lam has become a teetotaler, accord
ing to a semi-oficial announcement
that came from Potsdam palace. He
has pledged himself to abstain from
alcoholic drinks for the rest of his
life.
This resolutions his confidants say,
was reached in the recent reformative
period that the emperor underwent.
Not wishing to compel his courtiers
and dinner guests to follow his ex.
ample, the emperor has had a special
drink ~concocted which has the color
and fig of champagne, but which is
absolutely nou-alcoholic.
He will drink this on all state oc.
casions and public dinners to avoid
embarrassment, but in private it is
discarded. When invited to dinners
the emperor takes his special drink
with him. The temperance element
has received joyously the news OF the
emperor's new departure.

peace conference of all nations Of the
earth at The Hague last year.
1t Is hardly to be anticipated that
the establishment of such a tribunal.
so ardently and so long desired, will
allowed to fail, but that a way will
be found to reconcile all reasonable
differences OF views as to it's COM
position, and that the present genera
ton will see assembled in the Temple
of Peace at The Hague a permanent
international tribunal to which all the
nations OF the world may resort for
the peaceful adjustment of their con
t%Toversies.
Through the operations of such a
tribunal the governments Of the world
might have an illustration of the fact
that there is a cheaper. more salts
factory. and more humane way OF
settling their controversies than by
war; and as confidence III the tri.
bunal grows the nations might more
and more come to believe In the
efficacy Of the tribunal to safeguard
their rights and rely less and less
upon their armies and nayles.
Only yesterday, as time goes, the
monarchs of the world held it's des,i.
MES in their hands and could deter.
mine at will war or peace for their sub.
iects. The spread of the three power.
full influences arrayed against war
commerce.. democracy and Christi.
anity, Foster holds. and the slow but
steady evolution of international law
are bringing the nations more and
more to a higher standard Of duty.
which is an augury of the eventual
triumphs of and the reign OF
peace

TO ANITA.

Postmaster General Meyer might
have given his plan of permitting the
delivery Of Santa Claus letters to
charitable organizations a further
trial before he discontinued it. Last
year the plan was tried as an .
iment. All W. the country letters
written by the children were placed
in the hands of organizations and
many a little heart was gladdened on
Christmas morn when Santa Claus an:
swered these letters.
In explanation of the order con.
signing the Santa Claus letters to the
dead, letter office, the postmaster gen
eral. says numerous complaints have
been received from charitable organi.
cations that, owing to the large num-
Der Of letters turned over to them
last year, it was not possible to inveS-
tigate each case, and that MANY of
the presents fell into the hands of I'm.
worthy persons. The objection was
also raised that the plan tended to
make beggars Of the children.
In the larger cities, no doubt. so
many letters were received that all
could not be investigated. But I'M
doubleday some of the letters could
be investigated and objects Of
worthy charity singled out in this
way better than by any other. If il
were found on investigation that some
OF the children who had written TO
Santa Claus were not in need of char
ity. the letters could be delivered 10
their parents and the same purpose
could be serTed.
There are going to be a great many
disappointed children in the country

JIM JENKINS.

jim Jenkins was born with a pinhead mentality,
All through his life was too shiftless to think,
But still by a kindly and lucky fatality
He early become much addicted to drink.
80 he sat about bar-rooms, and sought the society
OF low-minded persons of liberal views.
And every one grieved at the mans inebriety,
And said he'd be great if it WASH t for booze.
lie hadn't the sense OF a yapping sky terrier,
And sober or drunk he was always a fool,
But drink was held up by his friends as the barrier
That blocked his success when he hunked out at school.
His think tank was added by notions the fightiest,
His eye had a sodden and meaningless blink,
Yet people insisted that he'd be the mightiest
Leader Of men if he just didn't drink.
Jim %.enkinses prototypes swarm through humanity,
All of them sodden, and hopeless and lost,
But each clinging still to some remnants of vanity,
Thinking what honor their habits have cost.
And the fatuous world takes a serious view Of them.
Saying, "Ah, if they only had turned down the cup
Until now and then an occasional few of them
Still remain fools after SOLDERING up!
