The cigarette habit is becom

The cigarette habit is becom-
ing fearfullv alarming. Almost
every boy you. meet is addicted
to it. The little fellow just out
Of his swaddling clothes, the boy
with knee pants, and the older
ones, too, may be seen. in this
town, and every other town al
most any day with a cigarette
in his mouth. Thisis the mean
| est, most debasing, ruinous
habit that our boys can have.
It is worse than the liquor habit,
if it is possible for such a thing
to be, because it is largely con-
fined to the boys. Very few of
the smaller boys use liquor in
any form, and feVg to excess,
but when it comesIo cigarettes
the great nlajority'of them use
them. How do the boys get
cigarettes? Every grown per-
son. and especially the business
men know it is a violation Of
the law of this state to let BOYS
have them. The state law on
this subject is as follows:
Ia shall not be lawful for any
person or persons, either by him
self or themselves, tosell, furnish,
give, or provide any minor or
minors under the age Of eighteen
years, with cigarettes, tobacco,
or cigarette paper, or any sub
stitute therefor. ANY person or
persons violating the provisions
of this section, either in person,
by agent, or in any other way,
shall be held and deemed guilty
|;of a misdemeanor, and, upon
Econviction shall be punished by
a fine not exceeding 500 nor
l:less than s25, or by imprison-
ment for a term Of not more
than one year nor less than two
months, or both, in the discre-
I:tion of the court; one half Of
ethe fine imposed to be paid to
| the informer of the offense, and
Ethe other half'to be paid to the
Treasurer Of the county"
+ There surely must be some
body in this county who is
every day violating this law; if
not, how could all these boys
who smoke cigarettes get them!

The Cigarette

If a person, any person, sells, or
furnishes, or gives, or provides
in any. way. any minor under l8
years Of age with cigarettes, CT
garette paper or tobacco, this
law is violated, and the one SO
doing makes himself liable to a
fine and imprisonment,
IF this law was observed by
our business men and the grown
up men, then the boys could not
get the cigarettes nor tobacco
with which TO make them.
Thefathers and mothers should
be so vitalfy interested in their
boys that they would see that
this law is observed. tisfor the
future good and best interests of
their boysthat they do not smoke
cigarettes and the effective way
to stop it is to enforce this law.
The cigarette habit is vile,
pernicious and most injurious to
health Of mind and body. 1t
degenerates the~moral nature,
saps the energies, andermines
physical strength, and impairs
sometimes destroys) reason.
It is said that so per cent. of
the boys who apply for cadet
ship at West, Point are turned
down because Of cigarette
heart. - The boy who takes to
smoking soon begins;to blunder,
idle and waste his time. Next
he will drift into places of ques-
tionable pastimes and finally be
a wreck. There. are a number
of the leading business concerns
in the United States which. alb
solutely refuse to employ any
boy who smokes. Nearly all Of
the insurance companies refuse
to issue policies to cigarette smo-
kers because Of the effect upon
the heart. The doors of the best
business opportunities are shut
hard and fast against the cigar
cite user. "a
These things should put our
boys to thinking and the parents
to acting. This is the best time
in the world for the best l,oys.

CHAPTER XVII.
The Rina.

The Ring.
Theirs was the last vehicle to swing
between the gates before these last

And this was quite as we'll; for Alan,
rising for one last backward glance
through the rear window. started In

clamation when he deserted power.
full touring car tearing madly toward
the ferry-house, ite one passenger half
rising from the front seat, beside the
driver, and exhibiting a countenance
purple with congested chagrin as he
saw his car barred out Of the carriage
entrance.
Quickly sensitive to his emotion, the
girl caught nervously at Alan's hand.
What is it, dear?"
"Marrophats" he snapped.
She uttered hushed cry Of dismay.
Don't be alarmed, however" he
fastened to comfort her. Hes lost
the race: the gates are shut-even the
passenger gates-and there must be
a company sDotter somewhere near by,
for the gateman is viTtuously refusing
to be bribed by roll Of money as
thick as my wrist"
At that instant the taxicab rolled
aboard the ferry-boat; the deck gates
were closed; hosrse whistle rent the
roaring silence Of the city; wincheS
ratified and chains clsnked; and the
boat wore ponderously out Of its slip

crowed, sitting down. Fooled again!
He can't stop us nov!"

"Why that perhaps? Why that
tone?" he demanded sharply. struck
by the foreboding her accents con-
fessed.
"This isn't the only ferry. There's
the Pennsylvania and the Lackawanna
and by hard. driving he might even
manage to catch the boat that con-
meets with this from the Christopher
street ferry of..the Erie!"
Impossible! I don't believe it!
WON'T"
Lets not" she agreed. But, Alan
"Yes"
Promise me-if he should manage
to catch up with us-you won't let him
talk to you. I mean, don't let him"

hotly. "If he tries to exchange one
word with me- only wish he would
She seemed satisfied with that; but
the incident had served appreciably to
chill their spirits. They accomplished
the remainder Of that voyage in a
silence that was no less depressed be-
cause they sat hand in hand through
out.
Nor was their ta1icab three minutes
out Of the ferry house on the Jersey
shore-though the chauffeur, stinu
later by Alanis e1travagant promises
was doing his best to fracture the
speed laws and escape arrest-when
the girls fears were amply justified ;
a shout from behind drew Alan's head
out Of the window on one side and the
girls on the other and proved to both
that Marrophat had indeed found some
way to make the crossing without
great delay.
His touring car was within fifty
yards when they hrst were aware Of

PUBLICITY ORDER ISSUED
 FOR coURTMARTlAL.
Appeal is Then Taken to Higher Au-
 tFaority-Sessions Suspended.

Orders were received st Fort Terry, on Plum Island, Thursday night dl- Cecting that newSpapermen be admit ted to the courtmartial trial of Major Benjamin N. IGoehler. The court, how ever, did not reconvene Friday. and the reason for this, it is said. was to have higher authority pass on the or ders admitting neWspapermen.
 Gen. Thomas H. Barry, commanding the department of the east. had been appealed to at Governors Island by the New York newspapers for the right of admission to the trial General Barry had the matter under advisement.
 In lieu of definite information on the matter, the supposition is that General Barry was the authority for tele- graphic orders received Thursday night letting downs the bars to the news papers. It was authoritatively stated Friday that such orders had been re- ceived, but nobody in authority would say General Barry had issued the or ders.
 The president of the court, Col Henry Kirby, immediately telegraphed an appeal from the publicity order, and this appeal. it is supposed, is made to Maj Gen Leonard Wood, chief of staff, and thence to the secretary of war for adjustment For this reason the court may not sit for several days. Both General Barry and the president of the court will be heard before the matter is finally decided.
 4 peculiar feature of the situation is the apparently well founded report that the defense has been instrumental in bringing about the publicity order. Attorney Frederick R. Ryan of New York, law partner of Col. William A. McCombs, national democratic com

FASHIONS FROM ELLIS ISLAND
Present Styles Hats Hair Dressngs and colorngs First Appeared There, Says Miss M L. Woodbery in Address st Park Church-Whose Level Are We Reaching?

The union meeting of the women's home missionary societies of the Con. gregational churches of this city, held on Friday afternoon at the Osgood Memorial was we'll attended and an excellent address was given by Miss M. L. woodberry of New York, sec retRry of the Congregational Home Missionary society.
 The opening devotional exercises vera conducted by the pastor, Rev. Samuel H. Howe, D. D.. after which Mrs. George D. Colt, president of the speaker Miss Woodberry noted the enthusiasm with which each one thinES she would have thrown herself into the leading issues of the day in past history: In reality it takes cour- age. and Sei9-sacrifice to do this. Are we equally enthusiastic about throw ing our lives into the issues of our own day? To see them clearly we must be able to read history in the making. Those who live in New York have great opportunity to see the forces which are coming through there day by day and which are making history for our nation.
 A Million a Year.
 For the past five years million peo- Dss eca hyear have been landing on our shores. More and more these immigrants are coming from ths old eastern civilization. Many thousands return to their native country each year. What reports and influences are they carrying back with them? In August of 1911 there were 20, 900 peo- pse came. No one seemed to take any snoe1ce of it. Tfae ignorance of the average business man upon some sub- jects is amazing.

will change the history of every state in the union. And because we are a democracy in six years these men will be able to put their stamp upon the country: We say we can raise them to our level, but do we? Are we not often getting down to theirs.
 No Waist Line and No Ears.
 Take the present styles of dress as example Turkish hats, Grecian hair dressing, Syrian and Egyptian color ing, all were first seen at Ellis island. From there came the fashion of no waist une-no ears
 Effect on Religious Life.
 The religious life of the country has suffered a change, too. Every re- ligion and form of idolatry in the world is being brought in duty free. And like the gypsy moth which seemed dead but which when brought over here and given a college education has suddenly sprung into new life, these dead and gone faiths gain new courage on new soil.
 Miss Woodberry then spoke of the two kinds of America which the im- migrant may find. There is a Chris tian America, which may help him and there is the non-Christian America which only makes him worse. She spoke of the agencies through which the society she represents Is striving to reach the newcomer dnQ give Hiul a, view of Christian America.
 Where the Need Is Great.
 Then she spoke in detail of various parts of our country where the need is especially great. Among these were the Great Lake region, New England, Florida, New Mexico and the North west, Personal experiences gathered from a recent visit to these regions made her narrative especially inter esting and authoritative.

mfttee chairman, is said to have talked with Col. Harry w, Hawthorne, mili- tary counsel for Major Koehler, on this particular subject. and the two agreed that they should ask for the widest publicity to the proceedings. This strengthens the belief that Major Koehler has nothing to fear from an investigation of the charges.
 The first day of trial for the court on Thursday was occupied almost en- tirely, 1t Is said. with the testimony of Capt. Philip H. Worcester. command ing One Hundredth company. Captain Worcester was called as a witness for the prosecution. but the claim is made his testimony was not of a nature damaging to Major Koehler. A non commissioned officer was to have fol- lowed Captain Worcester on the stand when the court announced adjourn n1ent until the question of publicity has been decided.
