HAD NEVER SEEN A HORSE.
CONSERVATION Caused by Animal in
Upper Yukon District.

A horse is such a commonplace OBJ
iect to most of us that it brings
somewhat of a shock of surprise to
read of the establishment and fear
caused among Indians fac north IN
the upper Yukon district. The horse
belonged to Charles Sheldon, nat
uralist and hunter, who describes his
explorations in the. wilderness of the
Upper Yukon:
In the afternoon, shortly after
seeing an old Indian and two boys
on the left bank, we came to their
camp, where four families were oc-
cupying tents. Never had 1 seen
Indians in the north of such healthy
and vigorous appearance. AS [ took
the horse off the boat, all started to
run, and their dogs which were tied
near the tents became greatly excit-
ed, and struggled against their chains
to attack him. None Of the Indians
of the Upper Pelly river ever before
had seen a horse"
On the next day the experience was
repeated at a second camp:
LAS the Vidette rounded the curve
into Ross river and made fast, l
sazed from the deck at the multitude
of Indians-men,w women and child
ren-all assembled on the bank and
nervously rushing about. When the
gangplank was put out l suddenly
rode Danger the horse, to the shore
and approached the Indians on tlot,
while men, women and children were
fleeing in all directions and shouting
in fright. My progress was suddenly
checked, however, for at once aoz-
en- or more dogs rushed at the horse,
bowling and swapping. If the trap
pers had not quickly. beaten them off.
the horse surely would have been dis
abled."
News of the wonderful animal was
Immediately carried ahead.
Many Indians had come to our
camp for the purpose of seeing the
horse, which aroused their interest
among them. One morning three ap-
peared very early, and watched us
throw the pack on Danger. So great
was their astonishment to see him
walk off with a pack of 200 pounds
that they followed us for 8 miles.

The Truthful Saloon-keeper.

Friends and neighbors: l am
grateful for the past favors, and
having supplied my store with a fine
line of choice liquors, allow me to
inform you that I shall continue to
make drunkards, paupers and beg
gsrs for the sober, industrious, re-
spectacle part of the community to
support. My liquors will excite riot,
,cbbery and bloodshed.
"They will diminish your comforts,
increase your expenses. and shorten
life. I shall confidently recommend
them as sure to multiply fatal acci-
dents and incurable diseases. They
will deprive some of life, others of
reason and all of peace. They will
make fathers brutes, wives widows,
children orphans, and all poor. l
will train your sons in infidelity, dis
sipation, immortality and every other
vice. I will endeavor to corrupt your
ministers of religion, obstruct the gos-
pei, defile the church, and cause as
much. misery cnd wretchedness as
can. 1 have paid my license, and the
traffic is lawful, and if 1 don't sell it
somebody will. / know the Bible
says: Thou shalt not kill; no drunk
ard shall enter the kingdom of heav-
err and I do not expect the drunk
ard-maker to fare any better; but l
want an easy living, and l have re-
solved to gather the wages of iniquity
and fatten on the ruin of my species

DECLARES LAW is VIOLATED.
Dispensaries Practically "Open Bar
rooms" Says Auditor Mitchum.

Columbia, March 26.-'"The dis
|pensaries all over the State are moth
ing more than open bar rooms, the
way they are operated now; this con-
dition of affairs has got to stop; the
law forbids it, and l will enforce the
law" was the statement made to-day
by Harvey w. Mitchum, the newly
appointed dispensary auditor for the
state. Mr.. Mitchum was represen-
tative' from Clarendon County when
he was appointed by Governor
Blease.
Mr.. Mitchum continued by stating
that whiskey was sold without the
signing of blanks as required by law;
that liquor was sold to minors and
drunkards, which is in violation of
the statutes.
He said that probably this was
Tot the condition in all the dispen-
saries but some of them most as
suredly violated the law in many re-
spects. Mr.. Mitchum said he is a
sworn officer of the law and he in
tends to see that the dispensaries
are rightly conducted during his ad-
ministrtion.
In a circular letter, which he will
shortly send to the dispensaries Of
the State, Mr.. Mitchum will insist on
blanks being properly fined out, and
the purchasers of liquor shall be re-
quired to attach their signatures be-
fore receiving the intoXicants.

Columbia, March 26.-The Su-

DANGERS TO THE EYESIGHT.
Accidents to MachiniSts and Stone
cutters.

Il believe" said DR.. Myles Stand
ish in his lecture at the Harvard
Medical School, according to The Bos-
ton Transcript, that it is crime to
have pointed scissors about in any
household in which there are chill
dren under six years Of age. Chill
dren will invariably play with scls-
sors: they frequently fall on the
points and puncture the eye, and Of
ten the wound, while it will cause
blindness is too small to be noticed
by the mother.
''Next in point of danger to the
eyesight is the pounding of steel on
steel, which throwing out slivers,
eventually destroys the sight. Ma
chinists and stonecutters meet with
similar accidents, and now that the
public is paying for these injuries
through insurance, workmen, who are
subjected to such dangers, should be
compelled to wear glasses Of some
sort to protect their eyes.
II have known of quarrymen going
On strike because their employer
tried to force them to wear glasses,
and l have seen quarryman who has
lost an eye through premature eX-
plosion of dynamite go back to the
same work and lose the other eye.
'Glaucoma,' which occurs only in
people over forty years of age, may
be ranked as an accident, since it is
in a moment of excitement or deep
emotion that a person begins to go
blind. There comes an instantaneous,
sgonizing pain in the eyes, which, If
not attended to at once, will cause
total blindness within a few days.
'The danger signal, which warns
people that their eyes are becoming
seriously affected by overwork, diges-
tive or circulatory disturbances, IS

ON So A WEEK.
Philadelphia Social Worker Finds 1t
Buys Slim Living.

According to Miss Jane Parker
Deeter, the Philadelphia social work
er, whose testimony to the effect
that she had worked for six weeks
as a mill girl created such stir in
the House of Representative at Har-
risburg Wednesday, says The Phila-
delphia Ledger, it is utterly impos-
sible for girl earning SIS "a week to
support herself comfortably.
"Only those who have seen the
life of working girls from the inside,
as did, said Miss Deeter yester-
day, in discussing her experience,
"can have a complete knowledge of
the deplorable conditions that exist
among them. The life of girl with
no other means of support than
salary of S5a week is constant
nervous strain. She has a dread of
tuberculosis. She knows that she
must never be sick, that her pay
ceases as soon as she absents her
self from the mill. Underfed and
overworked, she presents most pitt
able figure
Miss Deeter, who is a graduate of
the University of Pennsylvania,
worked and lived among the girls
employed in stave mill, in a town
not far from Philadelphia. Doing
piece work, her earnings approxima-
ted s5 week, and on this she sup
ported herself, without other aid, for
six weeks. At the conclusion of this
period, she had lost 20 pounds.
II paid $3.50 for board" contin-
ued Miss Deeter, 80 cents for room
rent, and allowed myself so cents
for clothing. The remaining half
dollar 1 used in buying extra food,
and for carfare to and from work.
Frequently I walked to the mill,
even on the most stormy days. The
work was very hard, especially as
was unused to physical labor. Girls
were employed to handle the rough
lumber used in the mill. l did not
know that women were ever assign
ed to such work until I did it my
self. Men doing the same sort OF
work received S1.25 day or more.
Often my fingers were bleeding at
the tips at the close of the day.
Many of the girls suffered in this
way"
Touching upon the quality of the
food served in the girls boarding
house, Miss Deeter said pork and
fried potatoes were the staples.
my experience" she added, was
in town. In the city, boarding
houses within the reach of working
girls purses are not nearly so good
as the one 1 lived in. 1t is impos-
sible, of course, for a girl earning
SIS or Sc week to have a room to
herself. I had three roommGtes. l
did not object to associsting with the
other girls.
''These girls,'' continued Miss
Deeter, '.are constantly battling the
curse of extreme poverty. Their du-
ties at the mill are So hard that it is
simply impossible for them to aug
ment their incomes by working in
the evening at some other occupa-
ton. Sunday they spend in bed to
recuperate from the constant grind
of the previous week. Recreation!
they have none. Their lives are

ON ROADS.

Several weeks ago Missouri gained
much press notice and added to her
reputation by holding a Good Roads
Day when every one was supposed to
get out and work the roads. News
papers and magazines commented on
the event, commencing especially the
spirit shown. In fact, more was added
to the reputation of the state than was
gained in the condition of the roads.
1t takes lot of work to make a
good road. 1t takes a lot of money,
too. 1t takes a lot of time. Missouri
has been gradually improving the
roads but they are not yet pixies.
A country is judged by its roads.
They are the clothes that make the
state. Missouri should have clothes
beftting the dignity and standing of
the state. Let's give all the encourage
ment possible to every movement to
establish or improve roads in Missouri

ADVERTISING RELIGION.

The Young Mems Christian Associa-
ton of the University is using display
advertising to bring its business before
all University men. Last Sunday the
Baptist Young Peoples Union used paid
space to invite students to their meet
ing. In Baltimore, Philadelphia, Mimi
eapolis, Cleveland, Hannibal and many
other cities the churches advertise in
the daily newspapers, and find that
advertising effective.
The modern church is composed of
modern business men and women. In
their eveery day business they have
found that advertising pays. They
believe in their church just as much
as in their own business. They want
to see the church do the greatest serv-
ice possible. Hence they are using ad
vertising to increase the attendance,
power and service of the church. Such
advertising is digniffed, effective and
religious.

CRANKS AND REFORMERS.

There is a tendency to condemn as
Objectionable the man who is standing
out against public opinion. We brand
him as a crank and a knocker and
hurl all sorts of epithets at his head.
But after all, the crank is not always
the bad man he seems to be. 1t takes
moral courage to go against public
opinion and the crank may be the man
of the community who has the courage
to stand up for his convictions.
This man is indispensable to a COM
munity. Through him reforms are ac-
complished. Columbus, Lincoln and
Gladstone were at one time called
cranks, but they had the courage to
keep on fighting and today we call
them benefactors. About the only
difference between the benefactor and
the crank is that the crank lacks ag-
gressiveness in presenting his views
while the benefactor is aggressive and
persevering and holds out until his
principle has been adopted.
Of course there is an extreme kind
of critic, sort of moral pessimist who
is a hindrance to the wheels of prog
ress, person given to an inane criti-
cism of everything simply because it
exists. We should be careful, however,
to distinguish between this man and
the man who is really fighting for
principle. Without the latter great
reforms, great inventions and great
men would be impossible and the world
would die of stagnation.
