There was a very interesting account
once in the papers concerning two baby
tramps known as "Sally and her
Bloke." Sally was eight, and her boy
companion, the "Bloke,' was nine. No
matter how great the distances each
had to traverse during the day in
obedience to the will of the ~tyrannical
parents or masters who employed them
to beg, or sell matches in the streets,
as surely as the evening fell, these two
mites were always found together,
Some irresistible attraction, some mex
plicablc sympathy, drew them together,
and the poor little things entertained
for each other so harmless. n withal
so true, an affection that even the
coarse companions with whom their lot
was cast were touched by their be-
h%avior, and spoke with rough good
nature akin to respect of sally and her
Bloke," and forbore to interfere with
their pretty and pathetic little romance.
l wondered at the time if anything
would be done for this forlorn little
couple, but the matter seems to have
died out in mere sentiment, n sally
and her Bloke' will no doubt be left
to grow up as such children do grow
up-in vice and misery.
1t is terrible to think that we must
always be doomed to see sorrow, ignor-
ance n vice imprinted on the tender,
fiower-like faces of the very young. and
that there must always be, in spite Of
the efforts of the wisest and best men,
Il large majority of babes and children
for whom there is and car be no hope
of good. Must there be a perpetual
sacrifice Of the innocents to the god of
all evil? One of the saddest sights to
among all the sad sights of Lon
don, are the neglected children who
have sonehow eIudad the kindly meant.

Peroxide and Ammonia.

Dear Madame Alta:
Please tell me in your paper IL you
published a cure for superfiuous hairs
as follows: Equal parts of peroxide and
household ammonia. Please tell how
to use it. Asked a druggist and he said
1t was no good, that peroxide was only
a bleach and could not do the work.
A READER.
Peroxide of hydrogen will, if used
frequently, bleach the hair upon the
arms, and If mixed half and half with
ammonia will, in time, destroy the con-
stitution of the hair. 1t will not pre-
vent the growth of new hair, however,
which will appear the original color
The only effective les of removing
the hair permanently is with the cleo
trio needle. This must be done by an
expert to insure success.

AGRICULTURAL EDUCATION.
Council Bluffs Nonpareill


The appointment by the president of
q commission to inquire into and re-
port upon ways and means for i'm
proving the conditions of farm life has
revived interest in the Davis bill for
government aid to agricultural high
schools and high schools promoting in
dustrial training in towns and cities.
Friends of this bill are pleased over
the action Of the president in selecting
a commission to study the question of
uplifting the farmer. They believe
that one result of the appointment Of
the commission will be to induce con-
gress to push the Davis bill thru to
early enactment Representative Davis
Of Minnesota. author of the bill, has
been doing considerable work in behalf
of it this simmer. He is making
progress and getting converts. Mr.
Davis considers that the bill will be
stronger in the house the coming ses-
sion than it was last winter
Supporters of the Davis bill think
that If the presidents commission goes
into the question of uplifting the
farmer seriously it will be impossible
to avoid the conclusion that a more
efficient agricultural education is i'm
perative if agriculture IS to be put on
a high level and the tide of population
in its flow to the cities Is to be
stopped. The Davis bill already has
strong backing from the department of
agriculture. Assistant Secretary Hays
of that department has done much
work in behalf of it. If now the pres
ident's commission can be brought to
the support of the plan or one like it
it Is thought by friends of the proposi-
ton that it will be difficult for con-
gress longer to halt the proposed
legislation.
These hopes may be we'll founded.
1t Is more likely, however. that they
are not The probabilities are that
it will be good while before the gov
eminent Will enter upon the policy in
dicated. 1t is large question
whether the purpose held in view
should not be left to the local COM
munity, or, at the outside, to the state.

INSULTING HUGHES.

Trotting horse owners at Saratoga
thought they had insulted and rebuked
Governor Hughes. They refused to
drive their horses so long as the gov
ernor was on the ground and great
crowds were kept in waiting until
o'clock when the governors train took
him back to Albany
OF all the people who seem to know
the least about public sentiment the
wide open element can always excel
Governor Hughes was candidate
for denomination by his party. The
machine within the party was opposed
to him and gamblers have little diff
ficulty making satisfactory arrange
rnents with the average machine lead
err Now these horse men publicly in
suit the governor and concentrate pub
lie attention upon the issue between
the governor and the race track
gamblers. They. in effect, put the re-
publican party in such position that
the nomination of Hughes becomes an
absolute necessity to party success in
the state
The average gambler, and prize fight
sport thinks that the majority of peo-
pie are with him were it not for the
activity of the straight laced cranks."
These race horse men at Saratoga
thought that they were destroying the
governors popularity when they were
trying to insult him publicly. They ex-
hibited about as much sense as the sa-
looflkeeper who has law permitting
him to keep open until 10 o'clock and
then tries to stretch it to II o'clock
or all day Sunday. The average sport
lacks breadth to his vision.

THE DIFFICULTIES OF DOING II.

II is already manifest that there will
be room for honest difference of opin-
ion among legislators as to the details
Of q senatorial primary which shall
undertake to exclude democrats from
the primary voting. The question as to
who shall be counted as a republican
is a large one. Some seem opposed TO
taking the voters own affidavit for 1t
last primary with a Geclal.tion on the
part of voters who failed to appear
there Others favor requiring that the
voters ballot show that he voted the
republican national ticket before ut is
counted In the party primary. Still
others would require that he be made
10 vote straight ticket all down the
line In order to take part in the sem
btorial primary This causes a demand
for the circle to be restored to the
ballot and then the democrats rise up
with the protest that this is an OUT
rage upon a free ballot. They argue
that to exclude a republican from his
senatorial primary because he happens
to scatch his ticket on some one or two
offices In effect penalties. the voter for
exercising his free choice.
There is merit in almost every mans
contention We would hardly consider
voter entitled to admission to re-

AAEflNlryn EARLE. OUTLAW.

i AS a rule the man who believes that
any particular law should not apply
to him is ready and willing to try to
avoid the application to himself of any
| other law that may obstruct his de-
sires. He is at heart an outlaw.
An Illustration of this is furnished
| by the case of Ferdinand Pinney
| Earle, the artist and writer of son
nets" who has been getting into trou-
! BILE in Goshen, N. " for having beaten
his affinity wife. Earle is a man who
did not regard marriage as tie that
binds. He considered it slight obli-
| cation to be thrust aside at the will of
| the parties in interest. He left his wife
| and lived VIGOROUSLY with another
| woman and seemed to enjoy the un-
| wholesome advertising that he got. He
made no secret of the fact that he
would put away his first wife perma
| nently and he was saved any
! trouble over the matter by her getting
a divorce, which most people thought
she deserved to have.
Then he married his "soul mate"
| The marriage meant nothing to him,
either in the instance Of the second
| woman or the first. In the case of the
initial spouse, that he did not regard her
with the respect that was due her is
shown by his relations with his "af-
finity," and his second marriage meant
nothing excepting to possible offspring
by reason of these same relations hav-
ing existed before the ceremony was
performed. Another reason that mar
riage meant nothing to Earle is shown
by the fact that he began beating his
second wife before she was fully re-
covered from the birth of her first
born Her offense seems to have been
that her mother instinct was so strong
that she insisted upon feeding her child
in the natural manner. An outburst of
temper provoked by such a cause is
just one more exhibition of a diseased
mind.
Having broken the laws of marriage
and of fatherhood in such fashion he
complained after he was arrested that
the law had "no right to Interfere
with his treatment of his wife. There
are men living in more obscuritY than
Earle who have the same disregard for
law or the humanity of a woman
