A VISIT TO THE COURT ROOM
 WITH GLIMPSE BEHIND THE BRRS
Fly MRS. J. B. REID

What thoughts must have had possession of her troubled brain. what q struggle for a human heart, what folly had poisoned her hopes that in her hour of trial and humiliation she would rather choose the prison, to have the great iron bars ard dingy wall shut out the sunshine and friendship that had been offered her? This is a sad fact to tell, it always gives us more pleasure to tell of the sweet and cheerful things that happen, but some times this is best to tell the true situation of waywardness. and what IL leads to, that such scenes may serve ;ls warning to those who are weak and those who are wrong. If only now and then young girl stood at the bar of justice we would keep the secret, even tho we failed te help, but as we passed the officer who bade us enter the court scene mentioned the very next day he told us we had an- other pretty young girl this morning be- fore the judge"
 Now is it not time to call a halt. to warn young women of the danger line no matter what the crime O. whence it starts? The progress of the world is founded on generations of mothers. women whose blood pours into the veins of her own offspring. and that vital force should be strengthened by the purest ideas of virtue and womanhood. As much is expected of the father, but mars Nou well. Ii is more often tuat one traces le good or evil of our lives 10 the motA r.. She it is who has the care of the infa [ child who watches it's daily growth at l trian the young minds to an age of ma turity. and like the undevelope1 tree in the forest when that nature is dwarfed it mars the scheme of life. something is wrong. What are we to expect from the future men and women when mauv of them emanate from the motherhood of women who have not been trained tp place character on the highest pedestal? If one has been weak and with no re sstance to the evil influences themselves. can they hope for better In their off, spring? Can they claim a position for them among men? The world may forgive a wrong. and 1t is just that 1t should. but it never forgets. Therefore, no woman should allow one foolish step to invade the sanctity of her life. Many thoughtless beginnings have a very serious ending, and the girl should mark well the danger,

operate with the homes? Cannot We have the curfew for the boys and girls?
 Not all are as strong as the little woman who has given us sketch of her undef- taking. Though young in years, she comes from home that has made the aim of her life 10 be sterling woman, to live that her influence may throw safeguard around those with whom she Is in contact, a leader with the greatest sense of right. And she puts into action every impulse for good. There are others not so strong. Their lives of penury are filled with temptation. They have no idea of managing their own affairs within their income, and they grow chasrined, then desperate and next weak, and fall in tho snares of bad company; thus they beeons a blight on the very name of woman. Whose fault? Simply their own-but we must insist on the preventive.
 This creates another demand for the conference of philanthropies and charities. that we may unite our efforts for the best in each division of public welfare. Fms situation is one of civic interest. and should be handled by the civic ,eague, hodv organized for all offices of the city that falls to woman's administration

WEAKENING CHURCH SLIPPERS
Stroke of Wand on Nape of Neck.
 Tickling Faces
,rom Ha rner,s WeekIv

From Happer's Weekly
 One John Rudge is on record as hav- ing bequeather to the parish of Try sull. in Shophhire. England. 20 shillings a year to be paid to "a poor man" em- ployed to go about church in summer to keep people awake.
 Another English church. that of Ac- ton in Cheshire. it was the practice dur ing the middle of the last century for one of the church wardens to pro ceed through the church during serv- ice with huge wand in his hand. wherewith. If any one of the congrega- tfon were observed to be asleep, he was Instantly awakened by a tap on the head.
 In Warwickshire a similar custom prevailed. A warden bearing a stout wand shaped like hay fork at the end stepped stealthily up and down the nave and the aisles and whenever he saw an individual asleep he touched him so effectively that the nap was broken--this being sometimes accom- plished by the application of the fork to the nape of the neck
 more playful method obtained in another church. The beadle went about during the service carrying long stan, to one end of which was attached a fox's brush and to the other . knob. With the former he gently tickl4d the faces of the women sleepers, while with the knob he bestowed sharp rap on the heads of male offenders.

WATERS TO NEWPORT BALL
But Footman Showed Taxicab Driver
 Error of His Ways

Newport R. I.-The romantic adyen- lures of Dumas Three Guardsmen" were briefly and ingloriously initiated early the other day by a trio of tipsy Newport walters who tried to look in on the magnificent oriental costume ball then in progress at Beaulien. the mansion of Cornelius Vanderbilt.
 It was o'clock in the morning when the three walters who had partaken of champagns leavings at another enter talnment at a popular restaurant here arrived in a taxi al the entrance to the Beaulieu grounds. They were in even- Ing clothes and had planned to mingle with friends among the walters at the ball and then get chance to- see the splendid entertainment
 But the driver of the taxi was joker and instead of letting the walters out at the servants quarters he whirled them LID to the mansion. There loot man held out his card tray, but only for an instant. One look revealed TO him the identity of the late arrived guests" and they were fired so dulck tbev had no time to speak unti they were beyond the grounds. The wasglsn taxi chauffeur also received sWii. passage to the outside that lett nm speechless for a while.

a time as though there would be riot
ing and no end of bloodshed. The
grievance of the Chinese who at
tended the meeting was that the for
eigners were encroaching on Chinese
territory and the agitators proposed
to fight, and that at once. However,
calmer counsels prevailed, the incen-
ditary orators were Gained and the
meeting adjourned without violence.
Nevertheless the feeling continues to
be strained and the foreigners are
taking all possible precautions. The
police of the foreign settlements have
since been armed with bayonets and
rifles and the utmost vigilance is be
ing observed to prevent the disas-
trous consequences of a surprise by
a mob or organized rioters.
