Sterling, Ill. His parents dying when
he was quite young he was early
thrown upon his own resources. He
lived for a time in Jacksonville, ILL.,,
but removed to Kansas before or dur
ing the civil war, where he enlisted
as private in Company B Twelfth
Kansas Infantry volunteers Aug. 5,
1862, and was discharged July IL,

HOW TO BE HAPPY.

A Partisan highbrow, disciple of
Maeterlinck, solemnly announces to a
waiting world that ne has dicoveted
the secret of happiness. Not only that,
but he proposes to teach said wait;r 6
world\ how this may be; at least, he
will teach those who can attend GER
tain exclusive schools in Paris. AS
near as course outsider may grasp
this fine idea, the plan is to train the
mind to be happy. And to gain this
joyous knowledge, members Of the Idle
rich may pay much real money, and
find such temporary relief as the nov
city of the system affords, aftor
which they may drift back to their
old system of being bored by the wide
world and environs, is the opinion Of
the editor of the Atchison Globe.
However, it occurs to US that this
latest prophet of pleasantly is spring
ing old stuff. Not that that should
detract from it's value. And beyond
question of doubt it has great value
although one would be foolish TO pay
hard earned money for II. For q
most he only offers a vafiation o.
membership in the Don't Worry essb
which is available without fee or nj
tiation to all who want to join. TAa'
may not be the secret of happiness
but it is boost in that direction.
Everyone has troubles while eross
ing this vale Of variety, and ~ ON
should be expected to shout afsd sini
on all occasions, but no PArisiAh pcs
is needed to tell the ploddinx t1aGfinni
that happiness is largely home pfcd
uct, and can't be bought In ~ eDe'
market. OF course, an empty sscasAci
is not supposed to be conducive o
lasting joy. and there are other form
Of trouble so real that one can't tliAl
a way out, but time heals for tlIss
who help it, and among the blessing
Of the poor is that they must wcrl

DON'T FLIRT; DON'T LET
YOUNG MEN HUG YOU

Mrs. Hays, formerly of the Den
yer Rescue home, now with the w. G.
T. U. purity and rescue department
gave the following advice to Grand
Junction high school girls in lecture
the other night:
l. Don't flirt-don't even try. II
is unwomanly, un-Christian and un-
dermining of all that is lovable and
sweet in a girl.
2. Don't correspond with young
men unles your mother reads all his
letters and yours.
3. Never answer anonymous let
ters or newspaper advertisements of
fering good wages and requiring but
little work"
4. Don't hail stranger by smile
gesture or waving of the handker-
chief. Those who would ruin your
innocent, pure life takes such advances
as evidence that you are easy prey
5. Don't take strolls into the high
ways and byways of the city with
young men alone. Never take mid
night buggy ride with any man unless
your father or brother is along.
6. Don't let young men fondle you
or hold your arm or hand on the
way home from an entertainment.
7. Don't lay that innocent head or
any bosom save that of the home.
8. Don't go into restaurants with
young men, not even the first class
or respectable" rooms.
9. Scorn the proffered glass OF
wine, even from the hands of you,
best friend.
10. Don't accept gifts from young
men unless you are betrothed to the
giver.
IL. Don't hasten to quit your homes
for clerkship, "office help If you
have to give up your home, be sure OF
where you trust yourselves. Shur
hotels and popular boarding houses.
~. Don't have a secret from you,
mother.
10. Don't live aimless lives, that Of
the gad, the visitor from place tc
place.
IA. Don't read trashy, sentimental
literature.
Is. Don't neglect to have God a.
your refuge, your sure trust. Com
init yourself wholly to him.
16. Don't betray indifference to re
ligion, nor deny your religious faitf
for any consideration.

STRAY TOPICS FROM
LITTLE OLD NEW YORK

A Pittsburg rabbi has suggested the
establishment of morals police"
under the control and direction Of a
special board serving without pay for
New York to cope with the social evil,
white slavery and similar civic prob
lens which, as the rabbi thinks, should
not be within the sphere of ordinary
police activity. Pittsburg is now try
ing that experiment, but it is too
early as yet to notice any results. The
citizens of New York city, at least
those belonging to the desirable class,
are not quite in accord with the Pitts
burg reformer. They do not consider
his plan bad or Objectionable, but they
think that at the present stage a
"moral police" would do more good
than a morals police"
By a strange coincidence two suits
were begun in tAs esnrts of this city

the suits was begun by the sultan OF

tributed. Under the laws Of Turke,
