A Boys View Of Life.

Say, IL must be awful nice
To be a grownup man!
So I'm trying to eat a lot
An grow UP fas' as l can.
Our grandpas alters tells us
Bout boyhood's happy days.
But times have changed. ar now It's paw
Have the jolly 'larks" and plays.
NV paw goes most every night
To the lodge for a pleasant time,
While | must stay at home an study
An learnin's ladder climb.
II I go in the house with muddy shoes.
oh. how ma scolds an Jaws.
But she never taxes no notice
OF all this ud on paws.
If raw takes two helps of pie
Not a word is said.
But when j take a second piece
I'm sent right straight to bed.
When paws sorta cranky
Ma cooks up sumpin' good
An says he'll be more pleasant
II he has appetizin' food.
But when I'm feelin' kind er cross
She don't cook nothin' good for me.
Paw says | need more work to do
An must chop wood till tea.
Evenin's when paw stays to home
He takes the easiest chair,
Finds the coolest corne
An reads his paper there.
Us kid must be jes' as quiet.
Not make the ~leastest noise.
An ma seems as 'fraid of 'sturbin' him
AS either OF US boys.
Yes. times is shorely ~changin',
Eut | think the wisest plan
Is jes' TO keep on smilin'.
For some day I'll be a man.
An then. oh. Joy. the times I'll have
At club m lodge an game,
Twill make the times paws have today
Look awful dull an tame.
For I'm goin' to be jes' like my paw,
Act as IL I'm some great big cheese:
Never mind what other folks say.
But do jes' as | please.

MOUSE PROVED USEFUL.
Helped to String a Wire Through a
Narrow Pipe.

Not long ago there was accomplished
i'm n western city a mechanical feat
which Mt first had hatiied the several
electricians having the task in hand.
but which eventually was effected with
the aid OF a mouse.
The men were engaged In stringing
wires In a new building. and they
wished to force certain of them through
n pipe 107 feet long. Now. this pipe
had a sharp turn in II. a circumstance
thai rendered useless the usual meth
DDS adopted 10 get the wires through.
First the men c~ndeavored 10 blow a
tapeline through the pipe. but TO no
avail. Then they tried TO force the
tape through with water. This. too,
was n failure by reason OF the sharp
bend in the pipe line.
After a long squabble some n sug-
gested that a mouse be employed 10
carry the string through the pipe. Ac-
cordingly after some difficulty n mouse
was captured and put to work. a
thread was tied 10 the little creatures
LOG. Ii was placed in the mouth or
the pipe and given a decided impetus
with a Whit Of compressed air.
II was not more than a minute or so
before the rodent appeared at n 9TH
or end of the pipe with the thread.
The rest OF the work was easy. The
thread drew the tape through the pipe'
and the tape pulled the electric wires

ing the conditions and inqulring into
the changes that we may expect to
characterize the physical effort Of the
new feminine product. Under the title
Of ia Beaute de la Femme Nouvelle"
NJ. Jean Flnot contributes a striking
article to Ia Revue. tracing the evolu-

Of which he fairly states his wi the
DRY that we are still under the infiu-
ence Of those Greek ideals and con-
ceptions which. so he asserts. have Of
ten become untrue and insincere for
the modern.
The modern ideal of beauty has Its
evolution. like every other element,
and after passing through various his
torical phases and running counter to
our preconceived views will emerge in
an increased individuality OF express

The author. so far from sharing the
belief that the outward aspect OF the
woman OF the future will become more
virile. insists that this personal quail
ity will mean greater fineness and dis
tinctlon. Woman will prefer "une
grande anne in place of being the ex-
pensive animal of whom Plautus said.

Net from old curtains Fan be used to
advantage by cutting It into the desired
size and stitching several squares to-
gether. This makes excellent wash
cloths.
In order to save your ice bills put n
piece OF thickly folded newspaper un-
der the Ice and one folded not quite so
thick on top Of the ice. The newspaper
under the ice not only protects the ice
from the air, but catches the dirt from
the Ice. The paper can be lifted from
under the ice carefully and the dirt re-
moved. thus preventing the accumula-
ton OF slime on the bottom of the Ice
chest. The top paper also protects the
Ice from the air and makes it possible
to set dishes right on the ice without
slipping.

Seven Thousand Five Hundred and
Ninety Three Churches

Why should there be saloons in Illinois? Why
should there be white slave traffic? Why should
there be graft and ackpots, and legislative scandals
when there are 1888 churches?
The church is opposed to Saloons to vice, to graft
to ack-pots and rule speaks very plainly these
things. The clergy is heroic, the mind of the laity
is right these things and the face of the church is
turned steadfasty and Individually against evil in every
form. That is the position of the church. Why them
do these things exist?
Why should there be 1900 saloons in Illinois
when there 1888 churches? Hasn't a church IN
the ranks of its membership sufficient strength and
conviction to drive out half dozen saloons? OF
course it has Hasn't the federated church power to
prevent acpots in the legislature by the sending Of
better men to that body? Of it has. Hasn't
it the power force the enactment of laws that will
abate the social evil and make the white slave traffic
an mpossibi1ity? Of course it has.
Seven thousand five hundred and ninety-three
churches at least 100000 voting members.
THAT is A BALANCE OF POWER SUFFI-
GENT FOR THE CONTROL OF ANY SITUA-
TON IN THE STATE OF ILLINOIS. Two hun
dred thousand Christian voters can, If they will, &C
complish anything they set out to do
There must be then why jack-pots,
graft and vice and saloons flourish why they
are not abated speedily. If there enough
Christian voters in Illinois to do these things, and
they are not DONE be for the sole that
they do not in concert that they do not get to-

This is the gist of the whole matter. The church
vote of Illinois must be consodated there must be
keener Christian conscience public affairs; there
must be better drilled Christian civic army; there
must be way of getting together and acting as a
unit.
