Within the past few months a law has

and girls in their babyhood, standing
crying or playing in the dirt otuside

Once in a while one could see a
baby in a policeman's arms. or an Of
] ficer tending a toddler outside the
saloon door. But everywhere in Lon
don we saw the drinking among wo-
men. and no district seemed much
better than any other; though there
were places where it was more shame
less. and where the drinking seemed
to cause more misery among the peo-
pie. than II caused elsewhere But
that was because the people in those
districts were near the verge OF mis-
cry and, drink pushed them over the
brink
Their degradation was unspeakable

II Is poison TO US and the only way
TO handle the tariff in English speak

The unmistakable harm alcohol is
doing TO England is so obvious one
would think that the patriots who are
so worried over the coming of foreign
foes. would see their foe at home and
conquer him. For to the outsider
who. at least. has the advantage OF
fresh eyes upon the subject, the two
great evils of English life are alcohol
and the landlords.
The people are crowded into Lon
don. They are put in a miserable
competition for mere existence. Then.
as poverty makes misery and misery
is lost for the moment In llquor-pov-
erty therefore makes drink: and
drink. taking the spare pennies of the
poor. makes poverty. There you have
il: Poverty makes drink and drink
makes poveriy-the blades of the
shears that keep the British laborer
shorn to the skin.
And strange as Il may seem. the
forces that are opposing the Liberals
in passing the law against landlord
ism are opposing the Liberals in try
ing to alleviate the liquor evil. The
Tory house of lords kills temperance
legislation. and the saloonkeepers
make sentiment in favor of the land
lord system. The lords and the sa-
lconkeepers are allied as closely in
British politics as the moss-backs in
the American congress are tied up
with the brewers.
The lords make poverty by their
land system and preserve the poverty
with their saloonkeepers' licenses. So
the city Of the Liberals and Radicals
and Socialists, who are combined in
control of the government-the cry,

boiled down and ready for household
use.

The position of women in England
is curious. II is a mans country
In the courts women defendants are
at a disadvantage. In the re ports
of lawsuits. wherein women appear
as witnesses. one reads of all sorts
OF sights and insults being put upon
them apparently without public re-
sentiment A woman who gets into
court figures not as Miss or Mrs, but
by her last name She is Jones or
Smith or Robinson-and nothing
more.
A man up for indirectly causing the
death Of a girl who committed cuicide
rather than face her shame. is COM
mended by the court for telling
straightforward story though. in his
story. he coufesses that he urged her
to marry his friend and save herself.
In our country. the court would pub
iicly regret tha; it could not put that
young man in jail.
Women servants in England are Of
ten called by their last names, with
out a Miss or Mrs. prefix. and women
servants are required TO do work that
puts them upon terms OF familiarity
with men that would make Emporia
girls scream and quit their job. The
thousand little galianiries that Amer
lean men show toward women are
badly done. ~ done at all. in England.
Yet the women speak during political
campaigns and do a mans share OF
the political skirmishing before every
election.
But. on the other hand. when wo-
men ask for votes they are hooted.
They leave the sacred precincts of
tho home to hustle men TO the polls
and show the men how to vote. but
the idea that they should vote them
selves. or even consider voting. seems
absurd TO the men. and the jails of
London are full OF women who have
been disturbing the peace OF England
by their clamors for the ballot These
women are The sunragettes.
They may be seen every day. one
at each pillar OF each gate OF the iron
fence around Parliament House. with
a policeman guarding her. These
surfragettes are posted in squads to

They tried to get the king to take
the matter up. but he side-stepped and
every once in a while these women
will create some sort OF disturbance
to get the matter before the people
lust as an actress has her diamonds
stolen-so that the cause always will
be advertised. Eventually the women
viii wear the men out. and get their
rights.
But in the meantime. they have one
right which American women have
not. II is the right TO go into saloons
and drink. We saw motherly-lookiug
old women in black silk. with purple
flowers on their decent black bonnets,
sitting demurely in the saloons. drink
gin. and as unconcerned as Mrs. Ma
tion and Mrs, Harris sitting in Buc-
hanan'S candy kitchen, eating ice
cream,
We saw young girls futtering into
the saloons as unconcerned as Ethel
Stone and Mary McCown would be
dropping into Borabaugh's to buy
shoestrings. And, beside these fine
old women and those pretty. sweet

Cultivate Happiness.

No matter what his vocation or condi.
ton in life may be, every one owes it
TO himself and to the world, to form
habit of being just as happy as he can.
says Onson Sweet Marden in Success
Magazine" Happiness means harmony
and harmony means health to all bodily
functions; it means efficiency. Faculties
give out their best when they are nor
nal To keep happy is, therefore, the
best personal economy and surest invest
ment; it insures the greatest possible
output of brain and body.
Much natural ability is rendered ineffi-
cient because men and women do not
know that diseord, whether in fear,
worry, selfishness, hatred or jealousy, is
ahealth Brighter Many men waste more
vitality and mental energy in few
minutes of hot temper than would be-
required In the legitimate running Of
their business for days.
What would we think of banker who
would open his vaults and throw all his
money into the street? But when, in a
fit of anger or rage, man throws open
the safety valves of his mind and filings
out his energy, his precious life capital,
character capital we think very little
about it,
We can make ourselves happy or mis-
arable, comfortable or uncomfortable. ac-
,ording to the emotions which we allow
to pass through our minds Whatever
goes through the mind must reappear in
he character and physical condition.

IF EARTH TURNED FASTER.
Odd Things That Would Happen If
Speed Of Globe CHANGED.

Conjecture has often been made as Ia
what would happen if the earth were to
rotate faster upon its axis than it does.
or course, If il went Is times as fast
as it does now, bodies at the equator
would weigh nothing person would
Jump into the air and fail to come down
again. A man might weigh 200 pounds
at the poles and nothing at tine equator,
while his weight would vary for inter-
mediate points. If he approached tie
equator, he would get lighter; and. if
hs receded from It, he would get heavier.
A man could carry a house on mis- shout
dtrs very near the equator. while near
either pole he could only carry what one
can now. On this account labor would
be very dear near the poles and very
cheap near the equator. 1t would GER
tainly be interesting to know which sec.
ton Of the earth would be more populous
whether every one would 60 north for
good wages or south for cheap worbmen.
The railroad problem would be mo-
unless the railroads all ran east
and west, when a uniform rate would OBJ
tain on any particular east-and-west
line.
Journeys to the south would be even
more popular than they are now, for
they would make every one feel better
and in buoyant spirits; more springv.
too, so thst people would walk farther
without getting tired, AID could jump
over any obstacle that presented itself.
without coming down with too hard
thump.
There is no planet now known that
has such . rapid rotation as is pictured
sere, but there are several where man
would weigh a great deal less than on
The earth
On the moon man would weigh only
20 or co pounds and could jump as many

HIS FIREPLACE WAS

Hung a Net Of Hornets Where
They Got Warm.

Winsted, Conn, Oct. IL Robert Ham.

was routed from his studio in the Berk-
shire hills near Lee, Mass, Thursday
night by hornets which had been brought
to the place in cold storage by two won
EN-.
The nest, almost as large as bushel
basket, was found in the woods BY the
women. They cut of the limb to which
the nest was fastened and brought the
trophy TO Hamilton, who placed the nest
over his fireplace.
He was on his porch, waiting for the
hunters moon to show over the eastern
hills, when he heard a roaring noise in
side. Thinking the chimney was afire.
he rushed in. The room was full of
hornets, swirling in clouds The warmth
from the fireplace had awakened them.
The artist pried open two windows and
threw open door to cool Off the place.
At midnight he ventured into the house,
us the cold air had reduced the army to
quiet.
At o'clock Friday morning Hamilton
had cleaned house and buried a pailful
Of hornets under the pines

No word appeals more strongly to the
average person than loyalty. We all
love to be spoken Of as loyal to family.
friends, country and TO our ideals. We
should also include our home city.
There is no doubt of our sincerity in
this and we would feel very much Of.
Tended were it questioned but is this
loyalty always Of the right sort; is It
intelligent and active or is it sometimes
sentimental and pleasing fancy with
which we delude ourselves!
The happiness Of the people Of a city
depends largely on the prosperity Of the
community a. whole, and this pros.
perity depends in part upon the amount
OF money circulating there. The more
money the people send away for taings
they can buy from their own merchants.
the poorer the community will become
and conversely, the more they spend at
home, the more the place win thrive.
Do those who patronize distant mail
order houses ever think of the harm
donef II all the good people in Boston.
for instance, should ignore the local
merchants and for one wear buy all their
supplies in Chicago, Buffalo and New
York, there would be "For Sale" signs
on the city hall, Young's, the public
library and the old North church. TIE
same principle applies to all commun-
titles.
Patronage Of home merchants is the
life of a city. These mail order houses
by offering attractive ~ premiums with
Indifferent goods, have drawn from us
large amounts Of money which, if spent
at home, would nave helped to paw for
schools, paving, lighting and general
civic improvement. Outside business
houses do not pay any part Of our city
taxes.
But, Business is business" some saw,
Yes, but business is more than that IL Is
reciprocity, and it should be apparent to
everyone that business dealings with
those who are working for the same To-
cal interests as ourselves, viii be far
more productive of good, than trading
with people VINO are far away. who buy /
nothing from US and whose only interest /
in our community is the amount of
money they can get out Of il.
