THE GUN-NAKERS' PEACE CLUB.

Almost simultaneously with the ex-
posture of the Krupps' activity in propo-
eating war scares comes the interesting
announcement of a different activity on
of war to sell. Two DuPonts of powder
trust fame, Hudson Maxim. identified
with various machines for exterminating
opposing armies. and Max Pam whose
interests lie in the same quarter, have
suddenly become active in a peace So
ciety, but not The Peace Society" The
name of their organization is the In
tcrnational Peace Forum and it aims to
promote peace by devious and back
! handed method
| There are two general theories for the
promotion of peace which will be found
to underlie all the specific propositions of
the peace societies. These theories are a
conflicting and contrary each to the other
as light and darkness The one is that
peace can only be obtained by changing
mems hearts and minds by educating
them in the wlckedness and cruelty of
war and also in its wastefulness and ex-
pense, The other of these opposing the
cries goes on tho extremely plausible
hypothesis that war is too deeply Ingram
ed to be eradlcated from mems hearts,
and must be discouraged if Mt all on the
materialIstic side. According to this the
ory the best way to end war is to
develop weapons of havoc to such point
that war will be mutually destructive.
The practical trouble with this latter
theory lies in the eccentricity Of the hui
man equation. Men become so infatu-
ated with the martial spirit that if they
can injure the other side they themselves
are willing to suffer rho society which
the armament-mnkcYs arr, Interested in

organization, which has dispensed Mr.
Carnegie's millions with such effect.
stands for the first theory of peace by
way OF enlightenment. The workers OF
this organization emphasize the truth
that war is the great crime and prove its
practical worthlcssness and waste. They
discourage enlarged armaments, martial
bands and gold lace They have been
tlreiesS in suggesting and supporting
movements in favor of alternatives for
war like the fateful gatherings at The

A son of Vermont, who is gradually
but surely coming to his own, is Stephen
A. Douglas. He played an important part
in a troublous time. 1t was hard part
made his part a large-hearted and gener-
Gus one. A fine appreciation which bears
the stamp of genuineness comes from
Colonel Henry Watterson. Marse Henry
had been asked to address the Illinois
Legislature on the occasion OF the
Douglas centenary. The following is
the letter in which he regrets his !nabil-
ity to comply with the request:
From my boyhood to his death ! knew
Judge Douglas well. The last two years
of his Hfe-and especially the last few
months was with him every day. He
was as lovabe as he was great Lincoln

had his life been spared. there is reason
to believe he would have been Lincoln
second self during the dark days Of the
sectional war.

the famous Lincoln Douglas debate of
1858 ! heard him asked about the strange,
new being who had so suddenly risen
above the national horizon. Mr.. Lin

SLEEPING IN The OPEN
BY LUCILLE DAUDET.

n VEN though outdoor bedrooms
r. have grown greatly in favor in
the last few years and do not
cause comment any more, the average
person knows little of the means by
which he might easily, comfortably,
and at small expense obtain sleeping
quarters in the open. Being crea-
ture of habit, he is usually content to
close his home securely each night
and coop himself and his family in
artifcally heated bedrooms where per-
haps only one window is opened, and
that but an inch or two. This tiny
opening is supposed to furnish enough
fresh air for the sleeper. 1t usually
requires the grip of some disease to
arouse him from this dangerous, leth-
argic condition to indoor catalepsy.
Then too late, alas, he realizes that
an ounce of preventative hygiene is
worth many pounds of cure.
Many contrivances that approximate
these conditions to some extent have
been constructed and utilized by out
door sleepers, from those which per-
NIT the head to protrude- through an
open window to expensive patent
tents.
A usuable scheme that can be graft
ed satisfactorily on a house and which
will meet all demands is one built
along the following lines, varied as
may be necessary: The sashes Of a
second story window are removed and
a glass door opening inward hung

A substantial post five or six feet
high is placed at each corner Of a
square eight by ten feet. Two of
these are fastened firmly to the ad-
joining side of the house and are con-
nected with those at the opposite cor

united. The lower railing should be
eight or ten inches above the floor of
the platform. This wooden Skeleton

the upper railing, drawn taut and
tackled securely to the base rail and
corner posts. To make these cloth
sides secure, strong lattice work or
wire netting may be used on the in

To roof it in, large awning which
