Church Advertising.

Advertising church services has
been tried, spasmodically, to be sure,
but for some cause or other, there
seems to be a sentiment against 1t.
Just why this should be so Is not ap-
parent. If advertising will attract
crowds to the theatres and the stores,
why not use the same means. to at
tract people to the church? In these
DAYS of business competition and
stress the business nan who fails to
advertise is not usually in business
for long. And certainly the church
should be conducted on business lines.
Wherever the experiment OF church
advertising has been tried 1t has
proved successful. One Of the latest
examples Is from Barre, Vermont,
where Rev. Francis A. Poole Is pas
tor of the First Congregational
Church. Rev. Mr.. Poole is a firm be-
lever in newspaper advertising and
used 1t to good effect. When he took
charge of the church three years ago,
it was a moribund organization. Mr..
Poole started with advertisements in
the Sunday morning papers-big
ones, a page, when he had the money.
and three or four columns at other
times. He took big, black type and
told the people what was going on In
the church, what the sermon would
be about and who would be there.
"As a result" says Mr.. Poole, the
congregation has quadrupled in three
years and at a meeting of trustees
we decided to enlarge the church
building to twice its present size
Some pastors and elders who are
wondering why more men do not at
tend church might have their wonder
set at rest by a judicious investment
in printers ink.-The Commoner.

The railways in Switzerland, being

Teach the Child.

The modern theory Of child train
ing is to shift the responsibility of
wrongdoing to a child's W Shout
ders. 1t is early taught to weigh
right and wrong and count the cost.
Mothers who are in despair over
the behavior Of their children should
try making them free agents. Show
them plainly how unpopular they are
making themselves by their horrid
behavior. Appeal to the reason.
Teach them to form their own de-

A child so trained usually acquires

A Wise Child.

Prof. Muirhead tells an experience
of his in examining some Birmlng-
ham children in moral teaching. He
asked them to write an essay on the
three stages of life. One bright child
returned the following: There are
three tages of life. The first is
when we are very young, and think
of the wicked things which we snail
be able to do when we are OLDER
and this is the age o; innocence. The
second is when we are older, and are
able to do the wicked things winch
we thought about when we were
young; and this is the prime OF life:
The third is when we are dotty n
repent the wicked things which we
did when we we're younger; and this
Is the dotage."-Bellman.

"I-I jumped out Of bed and L
I tackled him low" said Mrs. Ire
loar. "He came down with just the
awfulest thump. and the language he
used, my dear! I had to slam his
head on the floor before he would
stop"
"You poor, timid creature!" said
Mrs. Branksome, pityingly. "And
then what?"
"And then Deb, you'll never
breathe a word of this, will you?
And then I let him get up and twisted
his arm behind his back and bun
died him into the closet so I could
think what I could do with him. Oh,
I forgot to say I took his pistol away
from him. Then I thought If I kept
him he would tell what I did to him,
and there would be a fuss and
Well, I made him empty out the bag
he had with him and turn his pock-
cts inside out, and then I marched
him down stairs and let him out.
Now, If you tell I'll never speak to
you again."
Mrs. Branksome laughed until the
tears stood in her eyes. AS she
wiped them away she said: "Then

The Air Plant.

A surveying party in Floriua were
resting at noon in a forest when n
of the men exclaimed, II would give
fifty cents a swallow for all the fresh
water I could drink"
He expressed the sentimental the
others. All were very thirsty, and
there was not a spring or stream in
the vicinity. d.
While the men were thus talking,
the surveyor saw a crow put his bill
into a cluster Of broad, long leaves
growing on the side of a tall cypress.
The leaves were those Of a peculiar
air plant. They were green and
bulged out at the bottom, forming
an inverted bell. The smaller end
was held to the tree by roots grap-
pling the bark. Feeding on the air
and water that it catches and holds,
the air plant becomes a sort OF els
tern. The surveyor quickly sprang
to his feet with a laugh.
Boys" he said, 'that old crow Is
wiser than every n Of u.s.. He
knows that there are a hundred thou
sand water tanks in this forest"
) "Where?" they cried.
The surveyor cut an air plant in
two and drained nearly a pint Of
pure cold water from it. The men
did not suffer for water after that,
FOR every tree in the forest had at
least one air plant, and almost every
air plant contained a generous drink
of water.

Women Promote Vacation Plan.

Wealthy women in Berlin have per-
fected a scheme of vacations which
promises to spread yer the length
and breadth of the German Empire,
and which might be adopted with adj
vantage in this country. One woman
was taken with the idea and inter-
ested several of her friends. All SUBJ
scribed and worked together for its
successful promotion. The idea SIM
ply is the interchange Of vacations
by the middle classes, and even the
poor, in cities and in the country.
A bureau has been established. It
finds a family which is DESTROYS of a
vacation in the city. The plan then is
to find a family which wishes to go
to the country. By that cooperation
the only cost is that of travel. The
scheme has succeeded beyond expecta-
ton, and the enthusiastic originators
predict it will not take it long to
spread over Europe.-New York

Lady HamiltOn's Poses.

Emma Hart, afterward Lady Ham
ilton, had a great fascination upon
the portrait painter Romney. Born
in the humblest circumstances, and
at one time being a maid Of all work,
she successfully became the wife of
Sir William Hamilton and Lord Mel
sons inamorata. Romney was never
weary Of painting her features, beau
tiful more because of the expression
she was capable of assuming than be-
cause she was really handsome. The
infinite variety of her poses has been
immortalized by the great portrait
painters-and also caricatured IN
mercifully. A set Of the latter in the
British Museum would make the gods
weep!-London Opinion.

OSTRICH FEATHER
INDUSTRY PROTECTED.
Exportation OF Birds From Cape
Colony Prohibited to Keep
Money There.

Expectation Of Birds From Cape
Colony Prohibited to Keep
Money There.
Although Great Britain has thus
far persistently refused to admit the
practical wisdom Of the protective
policy and has stubbornly adhered to
a system which has resulted in depop-
ulating the rural regions and in fill
ing the cities with poverty stricken
people for whom no employment can
be found, the British colonies have
taken a more enlightened and open
minded view of their own interests
and have not been restrained by the
imperial influence or example from
doing what they could to reserve the
domestic field for the occupation and
enjoyment Of their W membership,
says the Philadelphia Inquirer. A
rather striking illustration Of that
spirit has now been provided by the
government of Cape Colony in the
south of Africa. One Of the interests
peculiar to that locality is the pro-
duction Of ostrich feathers for sale
in Europe and the United States.
This Is an industry which has UNDER
gone a slow and difficult development
until it has now become extensive and
extremely profitable.
Nearly fifty years ago it was de-
cided to go into the business of os-
trich breeding in a scientific and sys-
tematic manner. Experimental farms
were established in Cape Colony as
long ago as 1868, and for a consider
able time were carried on in the face
Of great Encouragement. Their OPP
Grafton, instead of proving remunera-
tive, was attended by a considerable
loss, and for a while it looked as
though the enterprise was bound to
be a failure. The ostrich breeders
we're wise enough to profit by their
experience. They learned to avoid
mistakes which had cost them money.
They discovered that If the business
was to be put on a paying basis at
tention must be given to the produc-
ton of a kind of ostrich which would
grow many more and much better
feathers than the average bird does
in a state Of nature. Feather grow
ing ostriches must be bred, just as
fine cattle are bred for milk or meat,
and for that purpose a careful and
constant discrimination in the mat
ter of strains must be exercised.

GOV. WILSON FOR
FREEDOM OF PRESS.
Pardons Newspaper That criti-
eised Judge and Prosecutor In
Niqht. Rider Cases!

Governor Augustus E. Wilson, re-
garded as one of the ablest lawyers
in Kentucky, in one of the strongest
defenses Of the freedom of the press
in criticism of public officials ever de-
livered in the South, granted a par
don to the Herald Publishing Com
pany, of Louisville, publishers of the
Louisville Herald, indicted in the
Galloway and Trigg circuit courts OF
Western Kentucky on the charge or
criminally libeling Judge Thomas P.
Cook and Commemorative Attorney
Denny P. Smith. The two officials
hold Office in the district in which the
greater part of the night rider trou-
bles in Western Kentucky occurred,
and the paper vigorously denounced
them for failure to perform their
duty in prosecution of the lawless
element.
The Governor said he granted the
pardons because the long series OF
crimes In this district which have not
been punished under these officers
administration makes 1t necessary for
the press to criticise all who can be
held responsible.
"The freedom of the press, while
1t must be clear Of malice or false
hood, is one of the greatest safe
guards of the people against wrong
and failure to do duty, and public OIL
f1cers under whose conduct such
crimes go practically free from pun
ishment for a year ought 70 expect to
be criticised, and will be unless the
freedom of the press is destroyed.
"In the face Of all these crimes OF
the most vicious and lawless ele-
ments, all but one or two have gone
unpublished, and the people have been
as helpless as II there were no law
and no court, and now, after this al
most endless series Of most shocking
crimes, the total net results of the
use Of those officers Of the power OF
the law and circuit courts ends IN
these demands for the Grand Jury to
investigate the Judge and attorney
and in these indictments Of the paper
which had the courage to d%enounce
these wrongs and strive to bring
better conditions in the districts and
the State.
"If the courts do not put an end to
the rule of crime in the counties in
which the Judge and Commonwealth
Attorney are expected to uphold law
and order the only hope Of permanent
relief from such conditions is an en-
lightened public sentiment aroused
by the press of the country, and in
stead of Furnishing the newspaper
which makes a fight against such con
ditions it should be regarded as full
filling its duty"
