The child was strangely silent during
the drive, and when the carriage drove
up to the entrance he chung to his
mothers side and looked up in her
face with pathetic usefulness.
The party alighted and walked
among the graves and along the tree
Swallowed avenues, looking at the in
scriptions on the last resting places of
the jewellers In the beautiful city of
the dead. After an hour or so thus
spent they returned to the carriage,

interesting to note that if the cylinder
is larger in diameter at the point
around which the thread is wound
than it is at the points on which it
rolls, it will roll away from the hand
when the thread is pulled. This ex-
pertinent can be tried by passing a

Most people are accustomed to think
Of a seal merely as. an amphibious

A Bad Argument for High License

L Tie CuIISllU loouN VI NN- L
Magazine contains touching
story of a girl, driven from home
bv a drunken father, who goes to
the city to earn her livelihood as
shop-girl. Hard as is her lot
it is not so hard as that OF the
mother, the sister and the old
crippled uncle in the Wretched
home in the country. Word
comes however that the sister is
very i'll, and a plea is sent for the
loan of only two dollars to get
medicines and comforts. She
had it not to give. so, with her
mothers letter in her hand she
entered at last that street, which
alone of all the city streets,
would welcome her, where only
she could find wages high enough
to help little Phoebe and her
mother and Uncle Villa m
Drain.
For five years at the price of
her shame, she sent comforts,
the means of life itself, to the
dear ones at home; although in
their simplicity they neither
knew nor suspected the true
source of her earnings. At the
death of her father she comes
home to see how very much
good she has done, and after a
few days with them, she fares
forth to the city again for more
comforts for them, like some
mother bird seeking food for her
nestlings. But the worst is over
for them with the death of the
drunken, vicious father, and so,
she does not go all the way back
to the city bat returns 20 the lit
tie home, preferring to endure
poverty, as she knows her people
would too, if they knew the life
she has led.
Like a lightning flash, it has
come to the writer, that there
is a parallel between this girls
story ard the revenue from high
license for the sale of liquor.
The True Democrat has long
been an advocate of high license,
honestly believing: THAT prohibi-
ton does not prohibit that |
men cannot be made good by |
legislation" that interference
with personal liberty is legally
unconstitutional, - but never,
have we favored high license
merely for revenue. And yet
the local question is being fought
out on this argument alone. It
should not for very shame's sake.
No man, but a Pandarus,
would live upon the fruit of his
daughters shame. Neither
should a town nor a common
wealth be willing to enjoy the
'evenue merely for revenue, from
traffic which may mean the
uin of the boys of that COM
nunity. ]
The girl in the story bought /
omforts for her family at a ire h
lendous sacrifice of herself. e
he municipality that buys it's [
from soul traffic n
lood money-is in as bad a case. Il
High license, if it stand at all,
lould do so because it restricts W
I'd regulates a social evil, not al
it brings in revenue. For Of
