A Question of Motives.

Did you ever stop to consider why it is that some men want you to vote for license and some for no Incense?
 The men who ask you to vote for license. they who spend their money to advertise the benefits ? of license, they who urge you and wo0ld, if necessary, pay you to vote for license, are doing it because they wish to reap financial profit from it. Stop and think. Try to recall 8 single preson who ever asked you to vote for license because they had the prosperity and welfare of their fellow men at heart. Try to think of some advocate of license who advocated it, though he knew that to do so would blight his prospects,, ostracise him socially and ruin him financially. Gan you think of one who ever urged the claims of license because he was filled with these unselflsh and humane motives? On the other hand, what of the men who ask you to vote for noe license? Are they in it for money l? No. It means much expended and mona received Are they in it for business reasons? No It often means the loss of position, and nearly always means the attempt to boycott them? Are they in it because they will receive honor? No. Often their lot is to be called fool and fanatic; often their lot is to be scolded and blamed by those who should be their best supporters. We'll, then. why are they in it? Why do men work night and day. at large personal expense of time and money, to get you to vote no-license. Is it not because they love their fellow men, love their town. love their state? Is it not because they love the boys and girls, without whom the world would be desolate, but upon who every saloon that would live must feed?
 So there you have it. On the one side the desire for personal gain. On the other side the love of mankind. On the one side a moneyed interest that cares not what becomes of it's patrons. On the other side a human interest that is willing to make any sacrifice rather than have men de- bauched and homes impoverished and wrecked
 Think this over between now and October.

Cattaro the Austrian sea gate of Montenegro, was held by Montenegro once for little time. Montenegro ac- Qnired it in 1913 with the aid of British squadron. Any inhabitaDt of Cattaro who was contemporary with the rise and fall of Napoleon must often have had to pause and think what country he belonged to, for, hay ing been Venetian for centuries, Cat taro became Austrian by the treaty of Campo Formio and Italian in 1895 by the peace of Pressburg. It was ab- sorbed in the French empire in 1910 and wrested from 1t in 1913. and final. iy in 1914 Russia compelled Monte negro to give It up to Austria.

Make Friends.

There is nothing so healthy as plenty of human nature about one, young, old and middle aged. When we stay at home too much or associate entirely with very limited circle we lose the proper sense of perspective. The few individuals whom we like assume giant proportions in our thoughts and the rest of the world recedes.

pelaMare,a Circular Roundar,


 The northern boundary line of Della ware is circular because the charter given to Penn states that Pennsylvania was to be bounded on the east by the Delaware river from twelve miles distant north of Newcastle town until the three and fortieth degree of north latitude" and that the southern bound ary was to be "a circle drawn at twelve miles distant from the town of Newcastle northward and westward until the fortieth degree of north lati- tude and then by a straight line west ward" This makes a circular bound ary for northern Delaware unavoid- able, and the facts above set forth ex- plain geographical curiosity that has puzzled many students.

SITE OF MADRID.
Arid Now, 1t Once Abounded In FOr-
 ests and Gardens.

ests and Gardens.
 Travellers find 1t hard to believe that Madrid ever abounded with water. The modern town stands on so bleak and arid an eminence, its surround ings, save in early spring, are 50 parched and dusty and the water ped dler's cry of "AguaI Aguaw is so in- sistent and ubiquitous one fancieS Madrid must have been thiEsty from the beginning.
 Yet its ancient coat of arms was 8 large flint half immersed in water, with steel hatchets striking 1t on ei- ther side, the ascending sparks form ing a sort of canopy around 1t. Ap- pended was the motto:
 was built on water.
 My walls are of fire.
 Such is my emb1azonment.
 This device was emblematic only of the city in its early days before Charles V. had started it on its head long career of greatness merely be- cause he credited it's climate with hav- ing cured him of a fever. He 1t was who first conceived the project of ele- vating 1t to the rank of capital. It was left, however, to his son, Philip H., to promulgate the decree declaring the town to be unica Corte.
 At that time Madrid was small town embowered in gardens and woods and meadows and with springs and wells lavishly supplied by nature. The Manzanares, now a melancholy, meager stream, was of a measurable depth. But with the apportioning of her territory into palaces and lodging houses for the royal hangers-On and the cutting down of the trees to swell the royal treasury the inevitable fol- lowed. The sun of well nigh 400 sum- mers has burned and returned the site of the old town and it's bestripped suburbs and dried up the natural mois- ture. At present the climate of Mad rid is nearly the most trying in all Europe Calvert's Madrid"

CONVICTED MEN
 ALLOWED BAIL

Ne wYork, December 1s.-Oliver Spitzer, the Williamsburg dock superintendent, and the four checkers found guilty last night of conspiracy to defraud the govern ment by underweighing sugar imported by the American Sugar Refining company, were not sentenced today. Instead the criminal branch of the United States cir cult court allowed them freedom under bail until January 8, when they will present argument for a new trial.
 MT. Spitzer's bail was raised from 5000 to s1o.00o; that of the others was continued at s25Oo. It is believed that the federal attorneys welcome the stay in the sen- tence because they hope that some of the indicted men might give them valuable in- formation on the chance of thus lighten- ing their punishment. Patrick Hennessy white-haired veteran of the weighing docks, and one Of the convicted men talked earnestly in court today with Spe- cial Prosecutor Henry L. Stimson, who was heard to say:
 T will be pleased to see you in my of flee"
 In granting the stay of sentence. Judge Martin said: If these men were led wrong through the influence of stronger minds they are entitled to the full bene- fits of the mercy of the court'

His name was brought forward in hearing before the Senate com mittee on privileges and elections on a resolution proposing a change in the day of inauguration of the President from March to the last Thursday sn April. The committee was reading a letter from Governor Marshall on the weather last inauguration in which he said:
 Perhaps that condition was not en- tirely an unmixed eveil, for it may have inspired some timid soul not to be candidate for the presidency"
 Commenting upon tis expression President Mcfarland of the District of Columbia commission said that nev- ertheless Governor Marshall was in favor of the change.
 And also a candidate" interpolated Senator Depew.
 'He is not a timid soul" hurriedly interjected Senator Fletcher.

ILLINOIS CENTRAL
 FIGHTS TAX CASE

Springfield, H., December 1s.-Secretary of War Dickinson, former general coun- sel for the Illinois Central Railroad com pany, and W. S. Horton of Chicago, the general counsel of the road made the arguments for the Illinois Central be- fore the supreme court today in the tax case against the road instituted by the state of Illinois to collect for back taxes. They contended that the law gave the government the power to act upon &C., counts and the fact that the governor of Illinois had for 30 years accepted pay ments by the Illinois Central without questioning their correctness bars the state from proceeding against the com pany for alleged back taxes. The com pany also claims that under its charter it was to pay but per cent of its gross earnings on the charter lines into the state treasury instead of the per cent claimed by the state.
 Secretary Dickinson after leaving the court room called on Governor Deneen, who is responsible for the action against the Illinois Central.
 Secretary Dickinson left tonight for Chi cago, en route to Washington.

MADAME GOUIN
 WAS MURDERED

Paris December 1s.-The best detectives in France are convinced now that Mad anne Gouin was murdered. As these dis- patches have told, the mutilated body of the wealthy widow of Jules Edouard Gouin, lately governor of the Bank of France, was found dead beside the rail- road tracks near Paris. The detectives believed at first that Madame Gouin com- mitted suicide or had fallen accidentally from the speeding train. Now they are so certain she was murdered that they venture to describe the manner of it.
 Her murderer, they say, Is probably a cunning and desperate criminal. With robbery in view, he bought a 1rst-class ticket for Paris at some suburban sta- ton. Madame Gouin was nearly TO years old and an invalid. Finding her alone in compartment, he killed her, stripped her hands of her rings, seized her leather handbag and opened the door of the com partment and flung the body out. The man wiped his hands on the window curtain and threw that also out of the compartment. He could not open the handbag. so he split 1t with two knife cuts and after rifling it, threw it from the railway carriage.
