sunshine may be had in quantities
sufficient to promote health and good

The arrangement of the rooms Is
very simple; and while the finish Is
good and neat, there is nothing ex-

calls for good cellar with concrete

to insure dry cellar.

DENMARK.

Denmark was the last one of the
Scandinavian countries to be visited
by the temperance movement. But
the work is progressing at more
uniform pace In Denmark than almost
anywhere else in the world There
are no leaps and bounds. no signal
victories, but slowly and surely the
temperance people are forging ahead
until the whole nation is bound to
pause and take note. The Danish
temperance agitators are too sane to
expect prohibition in the near future.
But they keep that aim constantly in
view. They always discuss 1t as q
matter Of course, and this cock-sure-
ness cannot but have a subtle, demon
alizing effect upon the liquor element.
The latest political step taken by the
temperance organizations was to dis
cuss all over the country at the same
time the advisability Of urging upon
the rigsdag the appointment Of COM
mittee to consider the question OF
prohibition. Ferdinand Nielsen, a
leading temperance agitator, recently
stated IN an interview that the ques-
tion OF prohibition is bound to come
to the front in all the Scandinavian
parliaments of those countries. Mr..
Nielsen was not ready to say that the
Danish temperance people would put
the matter before the rigsdag this
year or next year. but he was positive
that 1t will not take many years before
that body will have to take up the
prohibition question in dead earnest.
There are two Socialists in the city
council Of Odense, and they were both
elected members of the board of d.
rectors of the street railway company.
Dat of the surplua the company paid
little over $3.50 to each member Of
the board, and the Socialists pocketed
the money like the rest. This caused
great stir among the Socialists.
Some of the meetings of the party
even passed strong resolutions against
the action of their comrades. They
did not brand the salaries as an un-
qualified evil. but suggested that the
money be turned over to the party
organizations or used as a campaign
fund for putting more Socialists into
public positions.

If you spend as little as $4,000 you
may not get your moneys worth.
But In our humble opinion, IL 1t
should happen to cost $1,000,000 to
rear boy it is well worth 1t. Not
that we would encourage the expendi-
ture OF million dollars on any boy.
But is there any other investment
which pays such big returns?
1t is true, of course, that you are al
ways taking a gambling chance with
any boy. He may go wrong in spite
of everything you can do, and yet,
looking at the matter in its very worst
aspects, there Is so much that you
gain in large, human experience, In
varieties of emotions, In expansion
and contraction of the soul, the mind
and the heart in rearing boy. that
1t pays under any conditions.
When you put thought and affection
and interest and encouragement, and
as much chastisement as may be
necessary, and hope and faith and
charity into boy, It Is better than
planting garden, better than specu-
latlng in Wall street, better than fall
ing in love with woman. better than
anything else in the world that we
know anything about.
A boy is a much more human docu-
meDt than any other kind OF human
being, There Is more genuine re-
spouse in small boy than there is in
a Wagner orchestra or medium sized
ocean There is everything in a small
boy that there ought to be. and a
great deal more. Besides. small boy
can cause more trouble to the square
inch than anything else on earth.
And this is the reason, professor,
why 1t pays to raise one. no matter
now much ne costs-Life.
