the total amounting to $4,000. The

failure to pay the fine imposed. The
attorney general in a lengthy opinion
on the subject holds that the weight

such penalty can be imposed. He
holds that Imprisonment for costs
would in no way violate the bill OF
rights in the state constitution, and
that such action would b. valid. In a

Erookings may mark a new ELI IN
the history OF the Children's Home
The former city sends down word that
s. ,791.36 has been raised and the lat
ter over 100000. The sums raised
for a charity which for sixteen years
has lived very close to- the hearts Of
the people, was not the results Of a
painless campaign, ever though one
may characterize it as al outburst Of
charity giving. In both instances the
cities were districted and persons were
placed in charge, each covering her
beat" completely, the m%ethodical way
in which everything was carried out
accounts for the splendid success. 1t
demonstrates what can be accomplish
ed in a comparatively short time when
a worthy cause is properly and en-
Enthusiastically presented with method
and system. 1t also demonstrates that
the Children's Home need never again
want for funds so long as two or
three are willing to- join hands for
several hours systematic work in the
interests Of the homeless. dependent
children.
Both cities suggested that the Tues
day before Thanksgiving be universal

ton. However, we would not have
those who would by their individual
contributions come in close touch with
the Home, feel that their offering is
not just Gs welcome and will not re-
ceive every consideration. however
small. We appreciate the personal let
ter with it's accompanying contribution,
prompted SO often by the noblest chris
tian impulses. When large communi-
ties are stirred to enthusiastic giving,
as in the case of Aberdeen and Brook

close to the hearts of all. The Home
is of the people, by the people, ard for
the peoples unfortunate homeless

tunity. Then. We doubt not but our
income would be largely increased,
which means larger responsibilities
and obligations. but what is better
still, greater efficiency.
Judging from the press reports
both ~Brookings and Aberdeen derived
a great deal of real pleasure from Tag
Day" aside from the money collected.
There was a pleasant spirit of rivalry
among the "Taggers."
Mr.. Carlisle, a merchant of Brook
ings, who offered two per cent of his
gross receipts of the day as his con
%tribution. had the keen pleasure of
doing a rushing business all day. In
that city such an interest was awak-
ened that a meeting of ladies has been

the forgeries were committed In
view of the affidavit and statement of
the attorneys the court continued The
