In my thoughts I always liken the
Woman's Christian Temperance
Union to Joan of Arc, whom God
raised up for France. But evermore
she heard and needed heavenly
voices, and God grant that we may
hear and heed them evermore! To
the martydom of public rebuke and
criticism they will surely lead us, a
sacrifice not easy for gentle hearts
to bear; but following where they
lead, we shall steadily pass onward
from the depths of this worlds pain
to the heights of eternal peace, and
best of all We shall help to lift HUI
manity, so weak and 80 bewildered
nearer to the law, the life, the free
dom of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Italian, who asked mercy because he

The Italian was very angry. mo,

CANADA'S LAW WORKS VEL

CANADA'S LAW WORKS WELL.
Canada has been trying the en-
forcement of law prohibiting cigaret
smoking by boys, and, judging by the
trade returns, the result is strikingly
apparent The number of cigarets
smoked in Canada since the first. of
the year shows a decline of more
than 30,000,000 from the figures for
the twelve months preceding This
result is the more remarkable when
it is recalled that the law was in
force for only eight months of the
year. Canada's law forbids. the sale
or gift of cigarets or cigaret ma
terial to minors. -

NEWS AND NOTICES.
The Sunday-school was not so
largely attended last Sunday morn
ing, but what was lacking in attend
ance was made up in contribution to
State missions. Every organization
of the church lent helping hand in
the effort to relieve our State board
of missions of debt.
The pastor preached Sunday morn
ing on how to meet our financial OBJ
ligation to God. 1t was a scriptural
argument for the tithing system as
Gods financial plan or system; show
ing how he, the pastor, was led to
adopt it as his individual plan. and
that he had practiced it ever since.
It will be bright day for our church
es when we get to meeting this phase
of our christian duty in Gods way.
The sermon of the evening was the
first of two sermons on drifting;
the possibility, the danger, and the
remedy.
The committee reporting on plan
of finance for the year was requested
to make a fair apportionment as
possible among the membership, so
that an adequate amount may be
raised to meet the demands during
the coming pastoral year and sub
NIT to each member for approval;
same to be paid monthly if possible.
The pastor and family had nice
pounding Thanksgiving day; for
which, to the kind and thoughtful
donors, they are grateful. May the
blessings. of him who said, "1nas-
much as We have done it unto the
least of these, ye have done it unto
me-" rest on each contributor.
The theme for Bible study at the
prayermeeting Thursday evening will
be, how Paul regarded his bonds of
Imprisonment.

CIGARETTES.

Minnesota's new law makes it a
misdeameanor to sell or give away
cigarettes or cigaret papers. Every
effort for it's enforcement is being
made.
Iowa's anti-cigaret law went into
effect July /. Nebraska, Washington,
Michigan and Mississippi have also
legislated against the vile paper
pipes. Pennsylvania and New Jersey
lawmakers are considering the evil,
and all over the county public senti-
ment is turning anti-cigaretward as
never before.
Rear Admiral Schroeder recon-
mends that no cigarettes be carried
with our naval supplies. Council
man Betz of Baltimore is doing fine
anti-cigaret agitating in the big Mary
land city. Mayor Lewis, of Wilkes
barre, Pa, has forbidden cigaret
smoking among the policemen. Dis
trict Attorney Small, of Pennsyl-
vania, is getting after law-breaking
dealers, and l.. T. L., w. G. T. u,
Anti-Cigaret League and Y. NJ. G. A.
workers are busy in the right direc-
ton. All of which means that many
growing boys are going to be saved
from the clutches of the wretched
cigaret habit.
There is no doubt" says the Min
neapolis Tribune, that the law has
a good effect, as there are smokers
who thought it impossible to stop
the use of cigarets, and having been
unable to accustom themselves to a
pipe or cigars, have stopped smoking
altogether.

Give! is the master-word to man;
Give, with a heart of joy!
Give but to give and give again.
Gifts never die, or cloy.
Give to the world your harvestings,-
Light from your kindling flame,-
Love from your lips to starvelings,-
Help to the halt and lame.
Give with heart unknown to gain

TRAGEDY IN BANKS CRASH
CASHIER KILLS SELF AND WIFE'S
MOTHER FALLS DEAD.
r. G. Hanscome of Mineral Point Com
mits Suicide on Grave to End
Financial Troubles.

Mineral Point, Wis.-The body of F.
E. Hanscome, cashier of the wrecked
First National bank of this city, was
found Monday resting on the grave OF
his mother in the family plot of the
local cemetery, he having ended his
life by shooting.
Mrs. John Gray, aged 80, mother-in-
law of the dead banker, and to whose
home Hanscome's body was removed,
dropped dead when her son-in-law's
body was brought in.
Hanscome had been missing for sew
eral hours, but no alarm was ex-
pressed until inquiry at the bank and
various other places about town failed
to reveal his whereabouts.
A searching party was finally or
ganized with the result that the body OF
the dead banker was found lying over
the grave of his mother.
Hanscome was SIS years old and
had been respondent for some time
past. He was never known to take
vacation. He leaves widow and two
grown daughters, one a teacher in
public school at Milwaukee and the
other a student at the Milwaukee
Normal school.
Hanscome's heavy losses and worry
over the fact that he had told depos-
itors shortly before the bank failed
that he was all right are said to be
responsible for his act.
The dead cashier had been con-
nected with the First National bank
since it's organization in 1884, ante
dating Vice-President Allen in point
of service. He began as bookkeeper
and teller, and carried much of the
banks responsibility on his shoulders.
He had a reputation of strict honesty.

CAUSES OF TYPHOID.

Autumnal typhoid still has way Of
appearing at customary seasons in
well nigh every region of the country.
The health authorities in New York
find it this year rather worse than
usual, it appears in the dwellings of
the well-to-do as freely as in the
shacks Of the poor. Sanitation does
not prevent it, that is, not what we
generally call sanitation. 1t is an in
testinal disease, conveyed by drink
or food. The old theories of bad air,
sewer gas and damp houses have not
now much standing. 1t is feared
that some of the later theories do not
explain all the points about autumn
typhoid. The housefly does not. The
condition of the water supply, az be-
ing different in summer and winter,
does not. A plausible explanation is
that the profuse perspiration with
which in summer the body eliminates
large amount of disease breeding
matter, is reduced to minimum al
most instantly when the cool days
begin. The kidneys and bowels, un-
accustomed to the task, are burdened
with dangerous materials and unable
to perform the task of elimination. 1t
is at least common knowledge that
typhoid is most prevalent when the
cool weather sets in.

FIFTY SUSPECTS ARRESTED
Efforts Are Being Made to Clear UP
Shooting of italian by Alleged
"Black Hands,"

Chicago.-Fifty arrests were made
by the police in efforts to clear
up the shooting of Salvatore Pr
from hospital in Streator, ILL.,, where
he had lain three months after be-
ing shot by agents of the Black Hand,
and was shot second time at Mil
ton avenue and Oak street. Clews in
possession of detectives, according to
Inspector P. D. O'Brien, were expect
ed to lead to the capture of Salvatore
and Stefano, Uttida, brothers, who
were accused of the crime by Pinello.
PinellO was wounded the second
time with a shotgun. Physicians at
the Passavant hospital, to which he
was taken, held out little hope for
his recovery. His body was full of
shot.
The shooting of Pinello was the
sixth charged to the Black Hand So
ciety within year.
Pinello told the police that he came
to this country three years ago from
Italy and went to Streator, where he
was section hand for the Santa Fe
railroad.
The sufferer had not been in the
town long when the Uttida brothers,
who were in Chicago, began to write
him threatening letters demanding
money.
1--WE will tell the police that you are
a member of the Black Hand society
unless money is sent u.s." was written
in one letter.
The threats continued and Pinello
became desperate. He threatened to
call on the police to arrest the men
annoying him. The following day he
was shot near his home. He remained
in the hospital at Streator three
months.
Pinello told the police at that time
that the Uttida brothers had shot
him.

CURED ITCHING HUMoR.

Little black swellings were scat.

scratching them. Larger swellings
would appear and my clothes would
stick to the sores. Invent to doctor,
but the trouble only got worse. BY
this time it was all over my arms and
the upper part of my body in swellings
as large as a dollar. 1t was so pain
full that I could not bear to lie on my
back. The second doctor stopped the
swellings, but when they broke the
places would not heal. I bought set
of the Cuticura Remedies and in less
than week some of the places were
nearly well. I continued until had

Premier Katsura of Japan in an ad-
dress before a club of bankers at
Tokyo outlined the policy of the gov
eminent In a manner which should al
lay the apprehensions of timorous
souls who see in every move in that
direction threat of war with the
United States. The premier set forth
plans for developing the resources of
the empire and avoiding unnecessary
expenditure. This peaceful program
contained nothing to which objection
can be taken anywhere. On the con-
trary, the plans deserve the warmest
approval. Japan has had enough of
war for the present, and sees that her
highest interests will be served
by promoting prosperity at home
and Strengthening friendly relations
abroad.

PERISH ON MOJAVE DESERT
Man, Woman and Three Children Be-
Iieved to Have Died from Thirst
While Crossing Waste.

San Bernardino, Cal-Somewhere
along the ancient trails of the Mojave
desert man and his wife and their
three children are dead or dying. Who
they are or what led them to attempt
to cross the desert is not known, but
their trail has revealed pitiable
story, and searching parties are
searching for them in race against
death.
T. H. Kellogg, a rancher, was riding
over the Carisho creek country Thurs
day when he came across the tracks
of two teams. The trails indicated
to his experienced eye that the driv-
ers were lost. He followed the trail
for some distance and came up with
a camp wagon and buggy and farther
away a horse dying of thirst.
Pressing on he discovered the
tracks of a man and a woman and
three children. Uneven at times, re-
treating and wavering, as though the
travellers did not know which way to
turn, the footprints on the sand told
of the search for water against des-
perately growing need.
Sometimes the trail of one or the
other children disappeared, indicat-
ing that the father or the mother
had carried their dying offspring. The
tracks followed the bed of dry
creek for miles, and then led to the
country from which few travellers re-
turn.
Kellogg returned to civilization and
searching parties were sem out
