Observe Prohibition Day

Do the Churches realize the ire
mcndOuS impUrtanc" Of the Offering
which they are asked to make on
the first Sunday of July? They have
never made an offering that meant
so much. The destiny of Missouri is
directly in issue. In four months
10000 voters will decide whether
we shall continue to waste enough
money In Missouri saloons to main
tain $4,000 missionaries in foreign
field.
Barely tim" enough remains to
organize temperance forces, supply
the voters with literature and make
a winning fight, and We have AN
empty treasury. We are powrrless
unless the Churches make II liberal
offering,
To mail one lcnilct under Il one
cent stamp to the 1iO, 600 voters will
cost 81 800 for postage, besides tn"
cost Of printing. We need half II
million dollars, and we must have
at least II hundred thousand dollars.
The 1000 churches Of tho State with
"A million members can easily raise
that sum if they can be made to
grasp the transccndcnt Importance
of doing SO.
No such emergency ever CON
frUnted the peopls of this State be-
fore. In the name of Missouri, in
the name Of Christianity and in the
name Of God, let every pastor lay
this great crisis upon the hearts of
the people. Urge them to make an

Count Andreas Mennerzek, d Hunga-
rian who had fought many duels, aft
er having safely come out of his fif-
teenth encounter determined to retire
from the field. On doing this he re-
solved to give banquet to those only
who could prove that they had partici-
pated in at least five duels. Selecting
three of his friends, all of whom We're
entitled under the condition to an In
vitation, he asked them to examine
the credentials Of those who claimed
the right to be present.
AS have said, the count proposed to
retire after his fifteenth encounter.
Some said that at his twelfth he had
shown lack of nerve, which was re-
peater and grew upon him in his sub
sequent encounters, and that the rea-
son why he intended to retire was that
he dare not continue In the field. His
twelfth meeting was with a mere boy
barely eighteen years old. The chal-
lenge was sent with n statement that
the count had killed the challengers

There's no use talking Addison, I've
got it all fixed in my mind plain as can
be that you're descended from Over
the Mountain Dodge who used to live
in the white farm on the east slope"
Mr. Luke Goddard knocked the ashes
from his pipe and carefully reflled
the bowl.
When he had returned 1t to his lips
and applied match. he lifted his
keen gray eyes to the obstinate face
Of the young man on the other side of
the hearth.
What say. Addlson?" he insisted.
Addison Dodge arose to his great
height and looked down on the little
gray bearded father of Emily God
dard.
Il ought to know who my great
grandfather was" he said with cold
dignity. lover the Mountain Dodge
wasn't any ancestor Of mine. I'm de-
scendcd from Philemon Dodge of Exc
ter and nobody else. sir"
Emily Goddard's father shook a
crooked forefinger at Emily's lover,
and his shrill voice quavered with
rage.
Don't you dare contradict me to my
face, Addison Dodge! I'd like to know
who twas that taught school on the
mountain here for thirty years-eh"

A Tragedy In Writing.

Illegible handwriting, which has CIV
en- rise to so many comedies, led to
tragedy in the case of Bacher, a
musical enthusiast of the last century
who devoted several years to the COM
position of n history of Viennese mu-
sic. His task finished. he submitted
the manuscript to the Austrian i'm
perial academy, which be had been led
to believe would defray the cost of its
publication. After three months his
manuscript was returned. Despite
their best efforts the members had
been unable TO decipher 1t. Bacher
then endeavored to have his work
copied, but every professional copyist
who undertook the task had to confess
himself baGled. He thereupon at
tempted debating the work, only to
find that even he could not decipher
it. and, beartbroken at the discovery
that his years Of toll had proved fruit
less, he attempted suicide and finished
his days in lunatic asylum.

her Cab.


Mary Ann of Lancaster Gate, base
ment, was having a week of and had
arrived back at her little native vii
lage in all her metropolitan paint and
feathers.
1t was very little native village,
and Mary Ann. after her many months
service In town, didn't think so very
much of It. Even James, the station
porter and her old sweetheart, seemed
hopelessly Insignificant, and instead Of
staggering him with the kiss that he
expected she looked him up and down,
comparing him with certain gentle
man whose acquaintance she had re-
Gently made and who wore plush
breeches and silk stockings.

Pretty Emily came and peeped at
them through the kitchen door, and at
sight Of their angry faces her own
went quite pale.
Finally her father spoke. my
daughter Emily shan't marry any one
except he deScends from over the
Mountain Dodge No need TO make
that any palmer. eh?"
Addison Dodge grew white to the
lips. and for the first time his eyes met
the pleading ones of his sweetheart.
His teeth snapped angrily. and he
turned his miserable glance away from
Emiy's face.
Il don't know what you're getting at,
sir" he said hoarsely. do you mean
to say that IL don't admit I'm a de-
scendant of Over the Mountain Dodge
that you'll forbid Emlly's marrying

That's what mean." snapped Luke
Goddard.
Addison turned toward the door.
VERY well. sir I'm not going to lie
about the matter to gain anything. not
would you, DEAR"
His voice dropped into tenderness as
she came forward and slipped her
hand into his.
NO. said Emily with trembling lips.
Father knows I shall never marry
without his consent. and If he feels
that he is justified in making me un-
happy over the question Of some man
who is dead and buried this hundred
years, why. have nothing to say"
She broke into sobs and hid her face
in her hands.
Except 'goodby.'" added Addison
Dodge, kissing her golden head.
The outer door opened and closed
and left Luke Goddard and his daugh-
ter alone in the mountain cabin.
Outside the door Addison Dodge
thrust his arms savagely into the
sleeves Of his heavy jacket, belted it
snugly about his waist and pulled
bis cap down over his ears.
Then he strapped on the snowshoes
that he had left beside the door and.

MARYLAND DAY.

Some years ago the State Board Of
Education put into operation the idea
of fixing one day in each scholastic
year in the public schools to be known
as Maryland Day" the idea being tc
select for each of these days a topic
of Maryland history, arrange a suita-
BILE program and have some speaker
make an address upon topic for that
particular day.
This Is most commendable pro-
cedure. 1t emphasizes the prominent
features Of our State history and i'm
parts to the young and susceptible
mind that which every Maryland boy
and girl ought to know.
There is no State in the Union more
full of interesting history than Mary
land both in its Colonial period and
since the Revolution. Among the
most conspicuous figures of American
history are the men of Maryland,
and some of the most important
events in the history of our country
are events in which Maryland people
have taken prominent part.
1t is in every respect, therefore,
fitting that our school authorities
should set apart a day in each
year to bring some of these
important subjects to the at
tention of our children who are in a
little while to be in charge of the af-
fairs of our State.
The 18th of March in each year il
the day fixed by the Board of Educa-
ton for these exercises. But as the
25th of this year comes on Good Fri
day, which is legal holiday, the oath
has been decided upon for the present
year and an interesting program has
been arranged to be used in each of
our schools.

TO EXPLOIT THE ADVANTAGES OF
CARROLL COUNTY.

In Few weeks the Advocate expects
to publish an illustrated historical
sketch of Carroll county i'm magazine
form as a supplement to the regular
paper. To our knowledge there never
has been a historical sketch of the
style contemplated. 1t will be a con-
else history of the organization, re-
sources and industrial development,
population and interesting historical
facts with which all should be ac-
quainted, and at present there is no
such work for Dar"sal or reference.
The only history we ave was written
a few years after the Civil War.
The growth and development of in
dustries since that time antiquities
this history, and the need of a work
of this kind is severely felt by those
who are taking the greatest pride in
our prosperity This will make each
square mile of our four hundred and
tWenty-siX a neighbor to each Of the
other four hundred and twenty-five.
The advantages of the county seat
and the towns throughout the county
will constitute a part of the work.
The Individual history of the insti-
buttons and firms and the biographi
cal sketches of professional and bust
ness men will form an attractive fea-
ture as the true history of the people
is the history of it's individuals. Here
will be given an opportunity for the
men of this generation to record their
achievements which will stimulate the
next generation to greater efforts.
