fallen under the ban of the theater
commission Of Paris. headed by M

ordinance directed against these nuis-
ances becomes effectiye today.
1t provides for the price of places
at each performance as announced in
advertisements, and orders that, once
announced, admission fees cannot be
changed by the ticket Office or by any
agency. Managers of theaters cannot
sell tickets at reduced prices unless
the entire house at that performance
is sold out at reduced rates 1t is also
provided by the ordinance that the
price must be stamped on each ticket.
The commission was less brutal in
it's decision on women's hats and ex-
presses itself politely. saying that no
spectator shall be allowed to prevent
another from seeing or hearing After
today any man who finds difficulty in
seeing the stage from behind a hat has
only to call an usher, who will notify
the owner of the offending headgear to
remove it.
The ordinance touches other theater
matters. No child under Is is allowed
to appear in a music hall or regular
theater except by permission of the
minister of public instruction.
All parts of every theater must be
thoroughly ventilated and cleaned after
each performance. 1t is also provided
that costumes must be disinfected if
worn by different persons

greatest of all, was the moral in
.fluence exercised by tie obligation
to repair their wrong.
Judge Bond, whose whole inter-
est is wrapped up in the perma-
.nent success Of his system, has
put the question, How great. deep,
and lasting is the moral good that
the probation system accomp-
fishes? The public at large has
the right to put such a question.
The answer varies as 1t comes from
different sources. The Reverend
Mr.. Walker is very careful and
in the estimate that
he gives. He says: "Oat Ut one
hundred that | take under proba-
ton twenty five thoroughly reform
and will stand independent, and
twenty five more are doing well,
but need the probation officer as a
friend. The other fifty are in the
doubtful list. Yet, considering
the class of men we are dealing
with, even these figures indicate a
great victory"

estimate: "From June /, 1901, to
June l, 1907, I had placed IN my
care 267 persons who had pleaded

Another week-marked by
tie coming of another Satur-
day night-another fake covering
the past with it's mantle OF forget
fullness. Another balance-sh
for or against us. Another seed
planted over our grave to bring
forth a flower around which beauty
shall linger, or a weed whose burs
will cling % us for years; under
which vermin shall gather. Satur-
day night is the cream of the week.
A summing up of our weekly deeds.

how to be happy Leave your
head at your place of business, and
bring your heat to the hearth and
fender. Not your worldly heart,
but thesone yet fresh in memory.
Sit by the fire, be it of coal or
wood.
What battle life is! How few
of us realize the warfare! We
hardly know who our friends are.
What blessing that the grave hrs
no eyes! How the hand OF time
closes it's grasp tonight, bearing
it's wondrous gathering to- God!
What medley to present to Him!
Good acts and bad acts. Old age
and childhood. Men, maids, and
matrons-hopes, fears, promises
kept and broken, hates, injuries,
tears, sobs, sighs, smiles, pain, sin,
and goodness, all woven together
like tangled skein unravelled by
a glance from that Wondrcus Eye.
The hill is steep-its sides are

slopes and juttings-over the
memories of the past and into the

lives forever, but her children die
one by one! Here and there they
drop off as we toll upward to- the
great gate where stands a sentry
of our own choosing. Yet there
is much to live for. Not for our
selves but for others. Humanity,

wrong-doing; that it weakens the
protection which so .iety must
lave. But the very opposite OF
this has been proven. 1t puts a
premium on righteousness, and a
curse and judgment on evil such
AS have never been known before.
Moreover. it is never abused more
than once by the offender. 1t he
fails to show evidence of reforma-
ton he is promptly arrested, taken
into court, and surrendered for
punishment. And justice is sum-
mary, for there is no possible ap-
peal against the decision OF the
probation officer. This system is
full of kindness for those who
wish to build true life OH it. But
it is iron justice for those who
abuse it!
The probation officer adapts his
methods to the character of his
charges, striving always to play
upon their better nature and bring
out the good. Here is curious
example:
In middleeex County man
named Potter had been arrested,
and was, allowed probation, in
order that. he might have chance
to reform. The probation officer
said to him: 81 see two men sit
ting in your chair. The first one
is wlckedly running his life, swear
ing, drinking, carousing. The
other is shaping his future as the
potter shapes the clay; his fingers
have the touch of beauty and the
divine as they are fashioning the
precious vase. Which will you
be?" The skillful use of the
word "potter" was sufficient. The
probationer saw the point. 1t was
his choice between crime and in-
tegrity. He said: 81 will be a
true man." The probation system
works along this line.
The Rev. r. Walker, rector in
East Cambridge, and probation
officer, is a genuine enthusiast in
this work, believing that to exalt
a man guilty of crime to life of
integrity is the grandest moral &C.
complishment possible.
l was in his home Office one
evening as boy was announced.
I started to go. He said: ''Do not
60. Wait" The boy, a fine
looking fellow, strong of body and
of clean face, had been guilty OF
larceny, and was under probation.
His sentence, rs the Rev. Mr..
Walker recommended to the Judge,
was that he pay one dollar a week
for year until the debt was dis.
charged. He had come to bring
his dollar. I never Witnessed more
honest or kinder treatment than
the boy received that night. Not
one word of sentimental gush.
Not a hint 10 lessen the evil of his
crime. But Mr.. Walker, putting
his arm around him said: you
are doing we'll. Keep on. be-
lieve you will be an honest man. !"
What did good Christian judg-
ment demand in the case of that
boy? Confine him in prison? Yes,
and by so doing put the devils
own seal upon him forever. You
could not possibly bring worse
ruin to a young life than this.
The Rev. Mr.. Walker is most
thorough in his work. A man
had been arrested for drunkenness,
and was his ward on probation.
Word came that he had been drink
ing again, and he was sent for.
The following conversation took
place:
