WILL FORCE THE FIGHTING.

The Anti-Saloon League does not
intend to wait patiently for the enc
mics Of the local option bill to delay
it at will, but in a letter to Speaker
Tripp' on Monday called attention
to the fact that in two weeks since
the bill was introduced the Chairman
IF the Temperance Committee has
not even taken the first steps toward
securing hearing. The League has
notified the SPEAKER that unless action
is taken promptly fixing the date
when hearings must close, it will feel
warranted in taking steps to get the
matter before the House, and that if
it is defeated the first time under a
plea of supporting the Committee,
the attempt will be repeated until it
is successful. The League calls the
Speakers attention to the fact that
if any Democratic member is put n
the embarrassing position Of having

Our Heroes.

Here's hand to the boy who has courage
To do what he knows to be right;
When he falls in the way of temptation
He has hard battle to fight.
Who strives against self and his comrades
Will find most powerful foe;
All honor to him if he conquers.
A cheer for th,. boy who says "Np!
There's many battle fought daily
The world knows nothing about:
There's many brave little soldier
Whose strength puts a legion to rout.
And he who fights sin single handed
Is more of hero, ! say.
Than he who leads soldiers to battle,
And conquers by arms in the fray.
Be steadfast, my boy, when tempted.
To do what you know to be right;
Stand firm by the colors of manhood,
And you will overcome in the fight.
The right be your battle cry ever
In waging the warfare of life;
And God, who knows who are heroes.
Will give you the strength for the strife.

The Baltimore papers give the local
option sentiment, especially on the
Eastern Shore, credit for bringing
about sufficient change Of attitude
among the Democratic members to
compel the city gang to drop its

This victory where the gang was

Our Flag.

Our Flag.
Red like the rays of the morning,
When comes the dawn's first gleam
Within our glorious banner
Seven brilliant stripes are seen.
Pure as the snowfakes falling
Upon the mountains side,
Amid the streaks of crimson
Six stripes of white abide.
And as the sky at evening
Enfolds the stars at night,
The blue field of "Old Glory"
Bears all it's stars of white.
Give we our grand old banner
The honor that Is due
To freedoms sacred emblem,
The Red, the White, the Blue.

The Little Artist.

Oh, there is little artist
Who paints in the cold night hours
Pictures for wee, wee children,
OF wondrous trees and flewers,-
Pictures of snow-capped mountains
Touching the snow white sky;
Pictures of distant oceans
Where pigmy ships sail by.
Pictures of rushing rivers,
BY fairy bridges spanned;
Bits of beautiful landscapes,
Copies from elfin land.
The moon is the lamp he painted by,
His canvas the window pane,
His brush is a frozen snowflake,
Jack Frost is the artists name.

Bring the comb and play upon it!
Marching, here we come!
Willie cocks his highland bonnet,
Johnnie beats the drum.
Mary Jane commands the party,
Peter leads the rear;
Feet in time, alert and hearty,
Each Grenadier!
All in the most martial manner
Marching double-quick;
While the napkin like banner
Waves upon the stick!
Here's enough of fame and pi .ge,
Great commander Jane!
Now that we've been round the village
Let's go home again.

the first of series of sermons on
Modern Slavery" The subject was
"Slaves of Fashion. DR.. Straton
said, in part:
I'm family life We See many over,
burdening themselves to follow fash
ions. And what shall we say OF tn"
idiotic and sinful efforts of many to
keep up with the Kaleidoscope change
in fancy fashions OF dress?
Most men rightly helirv" in at

God has adorned the earth; and
there are millions of good womcl

have the joy Of a new bonnet or gown.
while recognizing all Of this.
however, We canu"t cscap' the fact
that millions OF Amrrican women Al

luton.
"Then came the Merry Widow

the whole earth was full of the glory
of hats as the waters cover the sea.
And now, instead of going out at tn"

why will they do it? We answer
it is the slavery OF fashion, the shrink

horrible often are fashions behests !
Some women complain that men to-
day are losing respect for them. Can
