BOYS IN WAR.

Such Americans as read closely the
short and simple annals of the defend.
ers of the United States who have fal.
len in battle in Mexico cannot fail to
be impressed by the years of their
birth. None earlier than 1888. most
of them were born in the early nine
ties, which means of course that the
warriors who are upholding the dignity
of the Republic far from home are in
most cases young men who have bare
ly passed their majority.
Our civil war, the most terrible of
all times, revealed similar records The
average age of the men who fought
from Bull Run to Appomattox was
hardly more than twenty-four years.
We called them affectionately, but with
terrible truth 1.-The boys in blue.''
War is never what it appears to be
in poetry, in history, in statesmanship.
The grizzled veterans that We see in
our imagination are in fact only hardy
youths, Injured to danger and suffering.
If no man under forty were permitted
to go to war, how many wars would
there be? If every man who pro
nounces in favor of war were com.
PEELED to don the uniform, how many
wars would there be?
War preys upon youth and ineXperi-
ence. Necessary as it may be at
times, war makes little appeal to those
who are really acquainted with it

HAND TO MOUTH LIVING.

A police court case has called atten-
ton to the existence in London OF an
avocation which Is not known to exist
anywhere else in the world. 1t Is that
of pawner, a profession given over en-
tirely to women who, in the poorer dis
tricts of London, undertake for a
small compensation to carry the goods
of their needy but sensitive neighbors
to the pawnshops. Most of this work
of pawning Is done for women who are
ashamed to be seen entering pawn
shop, but some of it is done for other
women who are too busy to attend to
the formally.
In certain districts these pawners
are known as runners" and they live
on this work, charging from one to
two cents for each journey according
to the means of their clients. In one
of the meanest streets of the East End
which has a pawn shop at either end,
two women ply busy trade as pawn
ers. One of these women is widow.
known and trusted in this work. and
she has built up a big connection in
the neighborhood She uses a peram-
bulator and is frequently seen passing
along the street with load of miscel-
laneous articles destined for the hun

morning is her busy day as hundreds
Of i'll paid casual laborers living in
the district depend many times for
their weeks maintainence upon pawn
ing something that day. On Saturday
when the head of the family brings
home his money the pawner is called
upon to redeem the goods, which she
carried away the previous Monday, and
usually the next Monday the first jour.

PUBLISHING THE DETAILS OF
CRIME

Some indignation has been express
sed by thoughtless persons because, IN
accordance with custom, newspaper re-
porters were present at the electrocu-
ton Of Herman Rosenthals slayers to
give to the world the detailed story OF
the event. It is held that no useful
purpose is subserved In such a con.
nection by satisfying public curiosity
and that to present q clrcumstantlal
account Of an event SO tragic ana SO
terrible is merely to minister to q de-
PRAYED and morbid appetite Tor the
sake Of financial gain.
The moral value Of temperate and
careful setting forth of the facts is
overlooked by these censors. What
would be the use of putting murderers
to death If others contemplating the
commission of similar crimes were ig-
norant OF the inflicted penalty? This
spectacular punishment must serve as
a terrible warning to the underworld
not only of the East Side Of New York
but OF every American city. Evil men
everywhere have seen by dreadful
object lesson that the wages of sin is
death They have seen that all the
resources OF legal casuistry and the ut
most exertion of devious political inf1u-
ences could not save these gunner"
There has been consequent inesti-
mable clearing of the moral atmos-
pierre Streets and homes and places
of public resort in all parts of the land
are safer because of the tidings spread
broadcast of the memorable course of
Justice. That is warrant enough, even

A clergyman who recently made the
assertion that the people of this coul.
try spent 100000 more for chewing
gum than for foreign missions was not
alive to the size of the chewing gum
industry or unduly magnified the for
eign mission contributions. The total
contributions of the United States and
Canada for foreign missions the past
year was just $3O.O00,0O0 behind the
amount spent for chewing gum by the
United States alone. In other words
the missionary contribution was $16..
900, 900 and the chewing gum contribu.
ton was $46,OO0,000.
