CITY AND NATIONS WEALTH.

THE wealth of the city Is not in It's
buildings. not in its banks, but in the
boys and girls and the ideals In their
lives. These ideals are the things
that we neglect most"
This Is not quoted from a sermon
or a temperance lecture; It Is the Ian
guage OF the first assistant district at
torney OF New York city In an address
delivered before a gathering OF pro-
fessional men who cheered It to the
echo. The Woman's Christian Tenn
perance union believes In raising the
standard OF American citizenship
through the conservation Of these
ideals. Says Mrs. L. II. N. Stevens.

WORK TOGETHER.

The temperance platform is as
broad as the earth and as wide as the
world. Its limits are marked only
where liquor ceases 10 flow. There is
room on that platform for all; nor can
any race, creed or nationality monopo-
lie It. It is a signal fact and propt
tious sign of the times that the Cath
Ollie priest and the Protestant minis
ter can, and do, stand side by side.
shoulder to shoulder. on that plat
form. The cause is Gods and human
ity's. We shall battle for the cause
whether on the lower plane OF temper
ance or on the higher ground OF total
abstinence: whether In the lesser ranks
or in the larger files Of national move
ments: we shall battle for the cause.

Good Reason Why Confederate Conn

Prisoners Escape.

When. at Gaines Mil In 1862, the
Fifth Texas captured two whole regi-
ments Of Union soldiers, the Texans
were all very proud of their achieve
ment. One Of them has described an
amusing scene in connection with the
surrender.
When the Union officers gave up
their swords TO Colonel Upton they
were SO prompt in the duty that he
was compelled to lay down the frying
pan which he carried In place Of q
sword and hold the weapons presented
In his arms.
Just then he noticed q commotion at
the far end Of the captured regiments.
That was near the timber. and q squad
OF the prisoners were making an eff
fort to pass by big John" Ferris OF
Company b, who stood there unaided,
e~ndcavoring to intercept them.

swords dangling about In every direc-

come more closely allied. Insurance at
cost In the white organizations being
denied the colored clerks, this created
one Of the most urgent reasons for the
alliance. But the problem Of organiza-
ton Of national character doing busi-
ness throughout the Union was a big
one. Henry L. Minis after corre-
spondence with representative group
Of clerks evolved plan which met
with immediate approval. Accordingly
last October at Chattanooga. Tenn. the
clerks from various sections met and
organized the alliance for the better
ment Of the service" the promotion
Of social intercourse" and for "insur-
ance at cost Of operation"
Upon organization it was found alb
solutely necessary that some capable
person be found to look after the de-
tails Of the organization and the In
auguration Of the insurance pro-
visions. Happily. almost as an espe-
cial dispensation Of Providence. Hon.
r. L. Bailey OF indianapolis was pre-
vailed upon to accept the secretaryship
Of the new organization. Mr.. Bailey
is one Of the most promising younger
attorneys In his section Of the country
and was formerly a postal clerk. In
fact, while he devotes all Of his time
to his practice he Is still carried on the
rolls Of the postoffice department as a
clerk. because he Is the principal wit
ness In some cases the government Is
prosecuting, and, though unusual, he
has been granted an indefinite leave Of
absence.
Mr.. Bailey is an authority on insur-
ance matters. He attended to all the
legal preliminaries in chartering the
National alliance and has written the
charters for several of the state Or
ganizations. The alliance today Is q
healthy youngster with every evidence
Of a long life. The rank and file Of
its membership declare that the officers
are the most sacrificing and efficient
set that ever plloted similar move
ment through the treacherous waters
Of new organization.
