Quite a crowd of our town folks
went to St. Johns church Sunday to
attend preaching. They say the
preacher threw stones at the boys and
young men about cigarette smoking
and taking on strong drink.
It is reported that young man
called on a young lady one Sunday
night not long since, and when he
left for home he broke up the young
lady's guinea nest which she had
been counting on and looking for
ward with the best of hopes for a
new lot of little guineas for another
year. You know she will be tough
to him when he calls again, and Will
not meet him at the door with a
smile.
Our farmers and town folks are
talking of having a prohibition pic
mic in the near future. Most every
one is going into the prohibition busi-
ness like they mean it. l hope they
will succeed this time in putting the
whiskey traffic out of business.
While I know there are some that
will order and drink it, there are
others that cannot get it when they
want it, and will spend their money
for something that will do them more
good. The simple argument that peo-
Die drink whiskey if the law is pass
ed anyway, and therefore they will
not vote for a law that can't be en-
forced, is no argument against pro-
hibition. There is a law against MUIR
der, and every day murder is done.
But none of us would have the law
repealed because it can't be enforced
to the letter. Our growing young
men demand the removing of the
temptation as much so as we can. So,
when the time comes, let all of us do
our duty and cut it out.

Rasmussen's Captain Says Ice-Dwell-

Lieut.. Peary.

Copenhagen, Denmark.-The support
ers of DR.. Frederick A. Cook, the ex-
plorer. were encouraged Monday by
the news brought by the steamer God
thaab that the two Eskimos who &C
companied DR.. Cook on his exploring
trip will support his claim to the dis
covery of the North Pole. Cooks
friends are more jubilant than Trey
have been at any time since Peary's
attacks began.
The Godthaab is the Greenland ad-
ministration's vessel, on which Dr.
Cook made the journey from Upper
navik to Egeaminde, where he board
ed the Hans Egede for Copenhagen.
Cant. Schoubye of the Godthaab u
clared that Knude Rasmussen went to
interview the two Eskimos whose sto-
ry is of prime Importance In the pole
controversy. He could not reach
them, but was assured by other Eski-
mos. to whom he had told the story,
that the pole was actually reae3ed.
Rasmussen saw these natives at North
Star bay.
According to Capt Schoubye, the
natives fed from Rasmussen's SLIP
believing it was Commander Peary S
boat. They hid their provisions and
other property till they were assured
that Peary was not in the far NORTH
Schoubye declares.
According to the story Of these ma
tives. DR.. Cook, on the day before ne
reached the pole, was exultant and
cried to his native companions: TO
morrow we shall be there"

Cholera having found its way to
the Netherlands, our government will
be forced to act vigilantly and dras-
tically toward ships coming from
Dutch ports; and orders to this effect
already have been issued. There are
such carefully worked out campaigns
to-day for swift and thoroughgoing
attack upon plaques of this kind that
the world-hate of mortality from
them is much lessened. Nations may
still differ seriously as to their duties
toward each other when political and
commercial interests are at stake;
but there is substantial agreements on
a policy of fair play, warning and
common action when it comes to hos
tility to disease and those natural
enemies of humanity that decimate
populations.

"Up to IL years of age I was not
allowed to drink coffee, but as soon as
I got out in the world began to use
1t and grew very fond of it. For some
years noticed no bad effects from its
use, but in time 1t began to affect me
unfavorably. My hands trembled, the
muscles of my face twitched, my mem
tai processes seemed slow and in other
ways my system got out of order.
These conditions grew SO bad at last

A Swedish inventor has produced
an electric storage battery which is
claimed to solve the long-agitated prob
lem in that line. Whether this be SO
or not, it cannot be doubted that ere
long the principle so successfully op-
Grated in the touring car and other
forms of automobiles will be in gen.
eral use on street railroads and in
such public utilities as fire engines.

Crimes of violence on American
railroads seem to be uncommonly nu-
mereous, just now, but it is safe to say
that this condition will not last long.
The railroad companies are too WISE
The rewards they offer for the ar
rest and conviction of robbers and
wreckers of trains are big enough to
keep the boldest criminals in fear,
every hour of every day that they re-
main at large. In that respect the
railroads serve the public well.

HOMES TO REPLACE TENEMENrs.

A great deal more good than the
public knows of has already flowed
from the establishment of the Sage
foundation to improve social condi-
tions. The Pittsburg Survey, the con-
gestion exhibit, tuberculc-'s exhibit
and like are some of the ways in
which this money has been used to in
crease public knowledge and quicken
the public conscience in regard to So
cial evils. But no work that the Sage
foundation has done promises to be
so far reaching in its beneficial effects
as the home colonies in Queens bor-
ough, for which sites have just been
secured. One of these tracts of lao
acres is at Forest Hills, just east OF
Forest Park, and the other of 40 acres
is in Jamaica South. The plans have
not been fully matured as yet, but in
many respects the colonies will be like
the homes of the Krupp workmen at
Essen, Germany, with adaptations, OF
course, to local conditions. The thing
that is needed to make such subur-
ban colony useful is adequate and
cheap transit. These locations have
been selected because improvements
Of the Pennsylvania and other transit
companies promise to make is possible

INVENTS A GLIDING BOAT
"Aquaplane" Slides on Shallow Water,
Instead Of Plowing-30 Miles
an Hour Claimed.

Pierre, s. DIS. M. Howard Of
Gettysburg, this state, has been
for some time working on the model
Of boat by which he believes he can
revolutionize traffic on western
rivers.
He calls his invention the aqua
plane and the principle is a device
which will cause the boat to glide up
on the surface of the water, instead
of cutting it's way through with a
sharp plow. His estimate is that he
can make 80 miles or more an hour
with the boat.
Howard will make the first test of
his new boat on the Missouri river
