NIAGARA FALLS EXCURSION
 OVER LABOR DAY VIA
 LEHIGH VALLEY R. I

Labor Day is the one occasion of the year when the public after hard summer and because the holiday prac- tfcaIly embraces Saturday, Sunday and Monday, look for an attractive excur- sion, and experience shows that no one place offers the attractions and is so satisfactory as Niagara Falls. The beautiful scenery of the Lehigh Valley Railroad incidental to the trip is in itself an incentive. The trip over the Great Gorge Route, side trip to To- roflto by steamer across Lake On- tario at low cost, stop over privilege in Buffalo, etc., all contribute to make this excursion an event of the year.

PROHIBITION MAY SWEEP ALL SWEDEN

estocEholn. Sweden, Aug. e.-There q. 3rospect that Sweden soon may be rlaced under national proh1 1D1tlon. T.avvs making 1t an offense to drink erirituoa1s liquors anywhere in the -or.11tr-y are contemplated, and there iz a reasonable chance that they will be adopted
 Prime Minister Staaff, in a recent address before a congress of tetotal- Iers in Stockholm, declared that pro hfbition was the only effective means If preventing drunkenness All otner ztternpted methods of reform, he sald had proved ineffective and insufficient to stop the evil
 Tbe Prime Ministers speech is con- sfdered an indication of the govern ment'g policy, and is believed to fore sha dow the intr roduction into parl1a- x,ent of a bill for the prohibition or All spirituous drinks in Sweden Such a law would command the support Of 4s,a RovaI family The King Is a strong temperance advocate, and che Crown Prince is total abstainer.
 A prohibjtory law would be likely to meet with opposition from France. Sweden has a big trade inswines amt spirits with France, and she depends upon the French money market to finance many Swedish enterprises. There are fears that the exclusion of French wines would encounter retail sation in the form of the exclusion of Swedish securities from the Paris bourse A proposal to increase the duty on wines in 1904 had to be drop ped because the French government protested. and threatened to bar Swe- dish consols from the Paris Stock sEx- change

SQUADRON SUNK IN ATTEMPT ON
 FORTS IN SOUND

New London, Aug. 8.-The entire bat tIeship fleet of the black squadron at tempted at 10:45 this sTnorning to run the gauntlet ofN Forts Terry, Michie and H. G.tWright, defending the east e2n entrance to Long Island Sound It was the first attempt during the pres ent war game. Theoretically, the at tempt was a failure and the squadron was sunk.
 The trial at running the forts was the. most spectacular of the manoeu- VreS. The outer rim of the fortifca- tions was outlined by flame for nearly half an hour Tn that length of time the last of the battleships had been sunk The outcome of the battle was complete demonstration of the su-. premacy of the coast defenses against naval effort.
 On Wednesday, night, the. strategy of Admiral Badger in running toward the forts with the vessels of his fleet en- veloped in dense smoke worked well and it was felt would have resulted successfully. Working under inforraa- tion from the latest problem, the bat tleships in two lines started from a point near Block Island, this morning and steamed directly towards Fort Wright. This fort is at the extreme western end of Fishers Island and commands range of the Race West of the Race is Fort Michie and far tfler west, Fort Terry The guns of all three forts opened on the battle ships with as great rear1sm as could be given the spectacle.
 At a range of 5000 yards. the guns at the forts. ,repf esenting the largest ca1fbred guns in the service. opened fire which the unapires concluded would have been most effective. The first round from the guns at Fort Wright brought hotel guests at the summer resort mile away from their t.- s1- a. shriek of fright. The battleships avoided as far as possible the field of mines which was detected by recon- noitering, Wednesday,. Without de pending upon the effectiveness of the mines, however, the umpires ruled the fleet annihiIa ted.
 According to reports ashore, all but the destroyers and submarines have been sunk. These will probably at tempt to run the forts before the man. oeuvres end at midnight.

San Francisco, Aug 9.-Taking of testimony in the case of Maury I.

Dyeina Natural Flowers.

EVERY once In awhile some florist
gets busy and puts some odd colored
blossoms in his window as an extra
attraction to the display" said club
man. II just noticed one down the
street 1t consisted of bunch Of i'm
possibly green carnations. At first
glance a good many people 'ught
they were made of paper, but tney got
interested when they found out that
they were natural Now, anybody who
wants to have any Of these freak fow-
ers can get them by buying some kind
of aniline ink, any color desired. Car
nations are the easiest to color-white
ones, of course. Put their stems in a
glass filed with ink. Their stems are
soft. and In short while the larger
veins in their petals are filed with the
ink. Don't let them absorb too much
color They are prettier with just SO
much. Then remove them and put
them in vase of salt water. "-Phila-

Hunting q Hat.

A woman cannot stick hat on her
head as you stick a stamp on letter
There is an ingenious machine that
sticks stamps on letters at the rate Of
several thousand an hour. But nobody
has invented a machine for sticking
hats on the heads of women. A man
can buy a hat in FIVE minutes, but no
woman would dream Of buying hat
In less than an hour. Often woman
will acquire splitting headache in
the attempt to find one hat to suit
her out of hundred, and not seldom
she carries away the headache with
out a hat on it. The hat hunt is only
a small part Of the daily agony of shop
ping, and yet many man would rath
er cut his throat than engage in hat
hunt as dispassionate spectator. Men
prefer to hunt the fox or the stag, the
tiger or the lion. the grizzly or the
grouse. tiger hunt is not nearly so
perilous as hat hunt.-London Opin-

PLAYING THE GAME.
BY JAMES A. EDcERroN

There are two kinds of people-those
who play a square game and those
who stack the cards.
Every game must have rules and a
code of honor, the game of life among
the rest.
The man who does not play accord
ing to the rules, who violates the code
of honor, is an Outcast If discovered.
And he is always in danger Of being
discovered. Sooner or later somebody
with real eyes in his head will watch
the cheater's game. Discovery will
mean disgrace and the tumbling of the
sharp's house of cards.
What kind of game do you playa
straight or crooked game?
If crooked one what do you expect
to gain by it? Money? What is mon
ey compared to peace of mind and self
respect?
Moreover, the ingenuity required to
cheat will almost invariably bring in
more money If applied to improving
ones game along straight and legiti-
mate lines.
After all, the crook is coward. He
is afraid to meet other men on an
equal footing. He is afraid to COM
pete.
Any man of real spirit and manly
pride could be ashamed to confess
that he fears to engage other men on
equal terms and to match his ability
against theirs. Yet the crook makes
exactly that confession by resorting to
unfair methods.
Get in the game and play 1t straight.
Be too good a sport to admit you
can't meet others on equal terms.
There are many ways to play
crooked game. A corporation that OBJ
tains special privileges resorts to the
same mean advantage as the gambler
who stacks the cards.
The merchant who misrepresents his
goods is morally on par with the con-
fidence man who sells gold brick.
A cheat on a large scale is just as
contemplate as cheat on small
scale, and he is more of a criminal be-
cause he Injuries more innocent people.
Yet men who would not think of
cheating at cards, golf or baseball do
cheat in this larger and more injurious
way.
1t is time that we placed the code Of
ethics in the business world on at least
as high plane as it is in sports.

Persistence Won.

Jones. a former man about town. had
become so poor that often, donning his
shabby evening clothes, he had either
to bone his friends for dinner or go
hungry. Thus Jones dropped in on a
former crony one evening and said;
II thought I'd just drop in. Iknew you
were giving a dinner. and ! heard that
your guests were just thirteen. So, as
your wife is superstitious about that
number, thought-ha, ha!-Td just
drop in"
But" said the host you're quite
wrong. Jones. We are not thirteen.
We are just twelve"
Jones. as he drew off his shabby old
overcoat, said:
well. I'll stay anyhow, if only to
laugh your wife out Of her supersti-
tious whim "-Washington Star.

ADVANCEMENT.
BY JAMES A. EDGERTON

Nothing is exactly like anything that
has been before. Life progresses by
embodiment, development, evolution.
Thus all things are forever new. They
include the old, yet are more than the
old. There is infinite variety. Each
moment has its own revelation. Each
presents in turn something new and
strange, some novel beauty, some
phase of truth never seen before. All
of this slept in the germ Of the past
ready to unfold into life and NANTES
tation under the broodings of prog
ress.
There is no loss. Form and func-
ton change, but being goes on. The
past is ever included in the present.
All of its results are here. All of the
record is kept in the book Of life. Not
blade of grass passes unmarked.
Every hair Of the head Is numbered.
There is an eternal conservation Of all
the things that are. Appearances come
and go like the clouds of the sky, but
the sun shines on forever. Nothing
that is can ever cease to be. Its shells
or manifestations may change, but the
essence is immortal. No experience
can ever really be forgotten. The uni
verse knows no such thing as loss.
Life is continuous. 1t Is q unity. In
that unity is never exhausted variety.
Day by day presents some new phase
Of the one life All things that are
hold relation to all things that ever
have been. to all things that ever will
be. The loom of life goes on weaving,
and the cloth of gold 1t produces is
continuous and seamless. In 1t are an
infinite number of threads. No one
thread Is like another all In all. Each
is distinct from the others, and yet all
20 to make up the one texture. Each
thread may be compared to an indi-
vidual life. On they 60, now over, now
under, this moment visible from the
upper side, the next moment from that
beneath. But no thread ever ceases.
New colors are constantly appearing,
uOW Gull UluuIlOub ulc CfcI mduc, UuL
1t is ever the same cloth, made up from
the same individual lives. So the warp
and wool of time go on to eternity.
We can never be bound to the old.
The relative statement Of yesterday
does not answer for today. We see
the truth In a new way and must tell
Of 1t in new language. The truth
has not changed, but we have changed
in our larger consciousness Of the truth.
He who ties himself to the old will
stand still in the race of life. If he
would ever go forward to his divine
destiny he must be free. He cannot
weigh himself down with ball and
chain forged In some past age.
The past is our teacher, not our ty-
rant.
The stairway Of God leads upward
and onward. He who would mount
must keep his face to the future.
