Redmond, in his speech delivered at the town hall here tonight, said there was no demand, however ex- trava gant or unreasonable, that might be put forth in behalf of the Ulster uniOnists which the nationalists would not be ready to consider so long as it was consistent with the principles of national self government for Ire land. If the opponents of home rule remained obdurate and would agree to no reasonable settlement, Redmond besought the country not to slam the doors in the face of Ireland because of fear of fanatics, bludgeons or bullies."

(You urchin you!-Goldsmlth) She had red-gold hair. in pigtaiI plaits, And Gray blue eyes. to match her Sun day hats; New shoes she did not like, but loved to read When perched up In tree twas fun, For bread and jam she had big appe- tite, And gingerbread could eat from morn til night; Work was not much within her chosen But she would toll If praised-she loved to shine. Pictures in books she would not look at-nO; She thought they stopped too oft the story's flow; Yet much admired-so I have heard her state The crude queer drawings made upon her slate To gossip she was prone, when very young Quite often she was warned to guard her tongue; She did not swift obey-but stiH she's dear to me, For she's the long lost child I used to be.

Home"
 The condition in Connecticut is not al dark. There are some bright spots, Much good has been the result of the Probation law, and the law providing for juvenile courts passed Tn le0e. Many weak and unfortunate young men have been saved from a criminal career, and led to become self-supportina,
 officers shows $s0.000 collected in wages and $s0o0 In fines most of which would have been lost to the families and states under the old sys- tenn.
 The Cause.
 The cause is sin. Ignorance is an- other cause. Lack of early education or training in work
 Drink Is one of the chief causes of crime. Most of the crimes are matched and many of them perpetrated in the saloons of our cities.
 A bad system of law is another cause. Fine and costs never punish ed or reformed anybody. It is a relic of past oppression and amounts to imprisonment for debt
 The Cure.
 Can it be possible that this condition is in accordance with Gods plan? An army of 100000 people wasting their lives in confinment. We can help it. That is why appeal IS made to clergy and churches. If the real state of things can only be presented to the people they will see that improvement is made No man for any crime should be confined in any prison or jail except under con- ditions that may improve him in mind and body. He should not be released until he can conform to the laws of the land.
 What reform can be attempted with any hope of success? A friend of mine, a good criminal lawyer, when asked how he would reform criminals, stutteringly replied reform em? I'd chlo 'roform' 'em." We can't do that but we can do other better things. We can agitate this matter, till the people wake un to their duty. The churches can appoint a prison Sum day, and preach about crime and criminals, and the newspapers can do, more than all. by printing the plain truth about the matter.
 I believe the honest people of this state will not for still another hun dred years keep up the pestiferous breeding of paupers and criminals. They will not forever, in each coun- try, keep a free hotel for monthly loafers and tramps
 In my opinion the best treatment that can be given the drunkard is confinement in a farm colony for long term, say five years under in determfnate sentence, with possible parole

What the White Man Brought.

Cold figures and facts presented by Vilhjalmar Stefansson show why he wishes to protect his blond Eskimos'' from contact with the whites. He says in the Geographical Magazine that according to records in the sixty years Up to 1910 the Mackenzie river Els kimos have been civilized, Christian t8ed and reduced by white mems dis eases from over 2,000 to less than forty. In 1911 there were at Cape Bathurst about forty civilized Eski- mos, partly Mackenzie river people and partly immigrants, and out of that forty a good twenty were( se- riously i'll, two of them permanently insane, while in an uncivilized group (which from the very beginning men) we found only one sick person in over 200 Gnstead of twenty out of forty), not counting as sick an old man who had been blind for something like eight years.
 And not only were many of. the civilized Mackenzie people chronically ill., but they were also insuficiently clothed and insufhciently fed. There was in 1911 probably not single in divtdual in the Prince Albert sound group who did not have at least two complete suits of warm skin clothing and many had several suits while among the civilized Eskimos of the Mackenzie at any time between 1908 and 1912 a man who had even one good suit was hard to find. Most of them are so poorly clad that they are unable to hunt seal in winter through being insuff1ciently protected from the cold
 This insuff1ciency of clothing is the result of two things: First, the intro ductiOn of rifles has destroyed the caribou upon which they depended for clothing, and, secondly, the multipli- cation of new wants, such as the de- sire for tea. tobacco, sugar and am intuition. forces them to barter for these expensive luxuries the skins which they might otherwise have used to dress in for the cold"
