TOO MUCH FOR NEWeRlpE.

dear, that you'd bring me home yard
of orange ribbon this evening.
Il don't want 1t SO very wide or SO
very narrow; something between an
inch and an inch and a half, or at
most an inch and three-quarters, will
be about right.
BE sure and get a pretty shade of
orange, dear: and I'd prefer it with
one side satin and the other gros.
grain, although all satin or all gros.
grain will do; but l think you can
easily get the other il you look about
a little; and be sure, dear, not to get
picquet edged ribbon, but one with
just a plain corded edge; and don't
get a remnant; and don't get any
shade but orange; not real vivid
orange, either, but a piece that will
look well with pale green; and don"
pay too much for it; and don't get red,
or blue, or green, or pink by mistake.
You won't forget, will you. dear? !

Bid Tim Lifted the Lid.

Seven words spoken by Timothy d.
(Big TimD Sullivan in the assembly at
Albany killed a bill for the passage
of which the ways had been well
creased.
One of Sullivan's colleagues who
had opposed the bill at previous ses-
sions, but was now supporting it,
was explaining his change Of attitude.
I'm previous years." he declared II
was unable to support this. measure
because the, Shiny trail of the lobby
was on it. These worms of the corri-
dor were offering stocks and bonds
for votes for the bill. This year, l
thank God, the bill is in new hands,
and no one charges that stocks and
bonds are being distributed to effect
Its passage"

Business View of Temperance.

Following closely on the stand
taken by $4,000 employees Of the Chica-
go 4 Northwestern Railway, who Of
their own accord signed the pledge,
comes the recent action of the Balti-
more & Ohio Railway Company, pro-
hibiting all train hands from using
liquor in any form whatever. In the
same line was the action Of the Ameri-
can Railway Association, sometime
ago, when that body of men adopted,
among other rules, one reading. The
use of intoxicants by employees while
ON duty is prohibited. Their habitusl
use, or the frequenting of places where
they are sold, is sufficient cause for
DISMISSAL
The advance made by the North
Western employees leads the leaders Of
that movement to hope that every one
Of the employees will sign the pledge,
and the statement is made advisedly
that a large number Of the men are
already teetotalers.
So strong has been the temperance
wave that has swept over the great
transportation lines in the last few
years that there are million men in
the United States at the present time
who are under what amounts to a
practical rule of total abstinence.
The last reports and statistics show
that the following railroads have sting
ent rules against the use of intoxicants,
and all provide severe penalties: Du-
luth, South Shore 4 Atlantic; Grand
Trunk system; Central Vermont;
Maine Central; Toronto, Hamilton d
Buffalo; the international of Canada,
and others.
All this has been brought about
quietly, not for sentimental reasons,
but because railway owners and opera
tors realize the imperative business
necessity OF safeguarding human life
ON railways by insuring to the public
men in cab, car, operating room and at
the switches, whose brains are uncon-
taminated with alcohol.
Our young men can safely trust the
cool business judgement of captains Of
industry, who say it will not do for
trusted employees to tamper with a
poison that distorts the Judgement and
dulls the keen edge Of the sehses!-

WHY the Miracle Double Air Spaced
Block is the Best.

First, it is made of the best concrete,
Second, it is everlasting and stronger
than any other, having d more solid
uniform strength, or bearing surface.
In the Miracle Block there is only four
inches between connections which are
staggered, therefore strengthening any
possible weakness.
The Miracle block being Double air
spaced makes a positively frost and
moisture proof wall.
Why cheaper than other material?
Because painting is eliminated, expen.
sive siding is discarded, also lathing
and plastering. Insurance is fifty per-
cent cheaper on double air spaced
block, as 1t is positively fire proof.
We guarantee the best of blocks, will
fill orders in thirty days.

SOMETIMES when a community
has made a step toward temperance
reform, there is disposition on the
part of good people to look and see
"how the law works" Well, the
law does not work. 1t is only a
weapon in the hands of the workers.
Every civilized community has
laws against theft. but these laws
are not selfoperative. The enact
tnent on the statute books does not
arrest the criminal, nor put stop
to his crime. But the forces which
are combining for the furtherance
of order and decency, can make
their efforts effective through the
law forbidding theft, while without
it they would be helpless. The
law forbidding the selling of liquor
in community does not work.
But it gives those who are interest
ed in temperance chance to make
their efforts effective. If commu-
nifty is sufficiently interested to
vote for temperance, it can be
aroused to the point of seeing that
the laws 1t has tnade afe carried
but. The danger is that it will
rely ON the law it has made to en-
Ioree itself, something no law has
ever yet done or ever will.

THR word has gone forth that
there is to be no temperance legis-
lation if it can be helped at this
session of Congress. Our repre-
sentatives are in bad way. There
Is an utlmistakable wave of temper.
ance opinion sweeping over the
tountryi and Congress knows it.
On the other hand, lot of congress
men ate most unwilling to offend
some very important business inter
lists that directly OF indirectly get
huch profit out Of the liquor traffic,
So the easiest thing to do Is to dc
nothing. Prohibition states will
get no relief from the outrageous
hullifying of their laws by the ex-
press companies and the railways,
and several other temperance meas
hres are to be held up indefinitely.
The only trouble with this program
Is that it wofi't work. The anti
salodn attitude of half the country
Is no there passing sentiment. 1t
Is based on sueh plain facts as that
saloons don't know how to keep
the law and won't learn, that the
econoti1ic waste of the saloon is five
times greater than all the revenue
the saloon produces, and that the
moral waste is beyond all counting.
To wait until that sort of convic-
tion "blows over" is as foolish as
to wait for the Mississippi to run
dry. And the legislator who tries
to hold back the current will dis
cover shortly that the only effect of
his temporary barrier has been to
increase the height, the velocity,
and the power of the food. If you
care for your congressman's politi-
cal future, you eau do him a great
service by suggesting in letter a
few such thoughts as these. He
may not thank you for your advice,
put it will be worth a good deal to
him-if he acts on it.
