YOUR BOYS PROPERTY.

IL you give your boy pig when 1t
fs small and 1t becomes fathers hog
when 1t grows big. little lamb that
grows into fathers sheep. small calf
that grows into fathers cow, why,
you are confusing your boys sense of
property rights, and you may make a
criminal of him.
Is the statement strong?
Did you ever stop to consider the
moral value involved In ownership
and Its effect on your boy?
Listen:
Eighty per cent of all criminals are
PROPERTYLESS people who have
never been taught to do things skill
fully!
Here, then, is place to begin in
making good citizens, because when
you help the boy to own things and to
make bis own living he has respect
for the property of others and is will
ing to let them make their own liv,
ing.
Our very civilization rests on the
basis of property rights. Break down
these rights and you have anarchy.
It has been a long road by which
humans have come to the knowledge
Of the difference between MINE and
THINE.
Our stone age parents came to treas
ure carved bone or crude tool, a
club or knife or hammer, or what
not, and thus developed the sense Of
property.
You can see the beginnings Of that
in your baby boy
Let another infant get into your
sons high chair and note the primeval
howl Of the property owner! Let an
other child try to capture your ba-
by's toys. There is social conflict at
once.
Now, this sense Of ownership and re-
Epect for property are strong In your
boy, and IL he grows up right they
must be developed In him-not for his
sake alone. but society's.
Let the child have some something
OF his own-his own chicken. his own
spot In the garden. bis own tree.
1t will develop in him not only
pride and care Of ownership. but will
teach him to respect the property of
other people. And the latter respect
Is vitality necessary in the moral de-
yeiopment of the boy. because
a mere desire for property may
easily land q man In the penitentiaryi

Inc heroine OF NJ 0fOknl lS 0PaI.
For three years Mrs Walter Brinker-
hoff was a ministering angel to the
wretched lepers of the Hawaiian
death colony. For three years she
stood by the side of her heroic nus
band, DR.. Brinkerhof, supporting him
In his loathsome task In that most pitt
full corner of all the world.
AS the beautiful and wealthy niece
of John A Long. former secretary of
the navy. of Boston. she had every ad-
vantage Of high social standing and
seemed destined TO a brilliant career In
the higher circles.
Then she fell In love with Walter
Brinkerhoff
That changed her whole viewpoint
OF life. Brinkerhoff was an enthu-
siastic young pathologist with big
heart.
Against the protests of her relatives
ind friends she married the man she
loved and went direct to the most aw-
full place on Gods footstooI-the open
sore of the world.
And there they two, self expatriated
from their world forever, fronted a
living DEATH
And now the heroine Of Molokai is
dead.
Did we say deadf No. Such a life
can never die. While the annals of
human heroism remain this story shall
be told throughout the world for a
memorial of her. And she will always
live in hearts made softer by her sacri-
ice.
But
What reproof in such a life to
those women Of society who are of no
use either to themselves or others,
who in the midst of selfish pleasures
die daily of ennuil
And If by some miracle OF love they
could see some vision of high serv-
ice like this delicate woman faced they
would not need to hasten to the leDer
precincts of Molokai
There is many a hidden Molokai in
every city and town.
Down in the slums where the red
lights fare. where women sell their
souls for silver and men buy disease
and damnation. down where the pas
sion of lust burns men and women
into the semblance of social carbon
there is your Molokai.
And there is q leprosy not of the
flesh. but as deadly.
There's always enough to do In O
sin ridden world. and the woman who
has the leisure to do It and the dispo-
sltion to do 1t need never cross the
corporate limits OF her own communi-
ty.
Along every byway are lepers to be
healed. They do not cry "Uncleanv'
but they are lepers just the same.
Men and women and little children
in every place daily face future that
is as hideous and pitifui as the living
death of the leper iazars.
And there are few angels Of mercy
with the unsefish devotion shown by
the sweet heroine of Molokai

Deadheads on Russian Railway

FLORENCE AS A JOKER.

Two Franks the Comedian Played on
the Duke Of Beaufort.
Through the elder Sothern, Billy
Florence. the comedian, came to know
the Duke Of Beaufort, and they were
excellent friends. Beaufort came to
this country and was at the Gilsey
House. in New York, a good while.
Florence e%nlivened his stay by several
jokes which were the talk of the town
at the time. He told the duke that he
was not looking we'll. "You need vio-
lent exercise" said he. "Now, l was
troubled as you are. l used to strip to
my underclothing and, taking a heavy
chair in my hands, would run about
my rooms. raising and lowering the
chair a hundred times without stop
ping. 1t had a grand effect"
Florence insisted upon this for sew
eral days and got the duke into a mind
for trying it. One afternoon when sew
eral eminent persons were going to
call on the duke Florence persuaded
him to try the great remedy. The duke
undressed, and, selling a chair, he ele.
waited it above his head and began
racing around the room. He was in a
fine sweat. with his eyes bullying, his
face red and his veins standing out.
Florence went to the Office, and when
the eminent and dignifed persons ar.
rived he said to one Of them he knew:
"Going up to see his graceY
Eyes," said the man..
"Well." said Florence, 1--WE been up
to see him. and I'm afraid he's touch
ed in his head. He is leaping about
his room. making strange noises and
breaking the furniture. Come up and
see him. l think he ought to be re-
strained. His family ought to be told"
The eminent and dignifed person
ages accompanied Florence and, peep
Ing through a crack in the door, saw
an apparent maniac dashing round
and round. with staring eyes and flush
ed face. Then Florence shut the door
and took them away to tell what they
had seen. beginning, Its very sad
about his grace" until an impression
was general that the Duke Of Beaufort
had gone mad. A few days later Flor
ence hid the dukes clothing and poked
his head in Mt the door and said, "Hur-
~ out; the hotel is afire!" The duke
presently appeared in the hotel Office
in a nightgown. slippers and a tall hat.

Two of the other Eskimos to make
the dash with Peary were the latter's
companions on his previous expedition.
The only true Eskimos on this con-
dnent live on the west coast of Green
land from Upernavik to Etah, in the
heart Of the arctic, less than 700 miles
from the pole, where so many fearless
explorers have spent their long, dark
winter night before the final dash on
foot and sledges yer ice and hum
mocks Of ice. With all their virtues Of
industry, honesty, peaceableness and
docility they are said to be the flthiest
people in the world. and a description
of their manners and customs will not
make pleasant reading for people with
delicate stomachs.
The Eskimos like their food to be as
fat as possible. They will not eat
ptarmigans. for instance, but prefer
the oily sea birds. Famine the Eski-
mos often experience. and when moth
ing else offers they chew pieces Of
their summer tents and make soup of
their old trousers. which are enor-
mously greasy.
No member of the Eskimo house
hold ever washes, but it is the fashion
for young girls to perfume themselves
to attract attention. If this does not
bring a husband the girl pulls her hair
from her forehead, and the charm Of
badness that results can never be re-
sisted by the Greenland young men.
The Greenlanders make a drink Of
liquor go a long way and in so doing ex-
hibit their most striking characteristic
utter disregard for cleanliness. When
the first man served gets his dram in
his mouth he keeps it there only for a
little time, then pours it into the
mouth Of his neighbor, who, after hav-
ing regaled himself a little, let's the
dram pass around the circle until it
has returned to its owner. who swal-
lows the liquor with every manifesto
ton Of Joy. II an Eskimo wishes to
display his affection for his wife he
walks home with his liquor in his
mouth and treats the mistress Of his
dreside to a portion Of the drink.
Whatever his customs. however. the
Eskimo has willingly lent himself to
the solving Of the north pole prob
lem, and the suggestions from various
quarters that the American govern
ment nnd some way in which to re-
ward him win bs favorably received

Fertilizer In Lava Beds.

A Zurich chemist has been analysing
the lava that surrounds and partly
covers Herculaneum. He finds that it
contains a heavy percentage Of caustic
potash, which may be extracted in pay
ing quantities and furnish enough fer

mand.
Having become convinced Of the
value Of the discovery, the govern
ment has asserted it's right Of eminent
domain in a decree that all the lots

Under this decree %prohibitive prices
