~ Per Cent Falling on in Arrests
A reporter for the Telegraph went
over the police docket to-day and he
found there had been fifty fewer ar
rests during the last six weeks than
during the same time last year. From
November ] to December IL last year
there were $50 arrests for drunkenness
and disorderly practice. Since the
Slough campaign opened there have
been only 130 arrests for the same
cause. The percentage of decrease is
about 81 per cent.
Colonel Hutchison says that much
of the good effected by DIR. Slough and
his party will of course never be
known and that the police blotter at
best only tends to show the trend of
of the campaign results. lie says the
real good being done will be seen bet
ter after the campaign has been over
for some time.
Something Has Hit Liquor Business
Liquor dealers and brewers through
out the city would not admit to-day
that they have been hard hit by the
campaign. They do admit. however,
that business is away below past rec
ordS. They attribute the falling off
in the consumption of liquor to holi-
day shopping which they say always
effects trade more or less.
No dealer seen was willing to let
the reporter quote him, but all insisted
that general business conditions are
responsible for the falling off in sales.
Business men seem to differ in re-
gard to the good done. Some say the
Slough campaign has temporarily hurt
business rather than helped it; others
are just as warm in their declarations
that the campaign has been a help to
business.
Churchmen Differ. Too
Church people interviewed, too, diff
fer in their opinions on the results of
the campaign. Most of the church
men, however, agree that only when
/ the churches are reopened and DR..
Slough is inviting men and women
down the trail in other cits, will 1t be
seen whether the evangelist brought
men into the fold.
The figures show that in round
numbers $500 people have hit the trail
thus far. Many of these were church
members who had been back sliders.
Most of them, according to the statis-
tics available at the Slough headquar-
ters, 26 South Third street, were men
| and women who never in their lives
belonged to any church. And scores
of them according to the same au-
thority were self confessed drunkards
and wifebeaters.

Disaster of a Century AGO.

Several lives were lost and much
property destroyed by an explosion of
gunpowder which occurred at Wool
wich 100 years ago. Woolwich is the
most ancient military and naval ar
senal In England. In its docEyard men,
of-war were built as long ago as the
beginning of the sixteenth century.
The royal arsenal contains a factory
for the making of shells and car
tridges and mammoth foundry for
casting armor and ordnance, in add
ton to vast magazines Of great guns,
powder and other warlike stores. The
Royal Military academy, where off,
GERS are trained for the British army,
also is a part of the institution. Dur
ing the centuries of its existence the
arsenal has been the scene of many
disastrous fires and fatal explosions.

sions occurred in 1903 and resulted In

NAMES THANKSGIVING DAY
Governor Desionates Thursday, Nov.
26, as Day of Observance OF
Prosperity's Reign.

Madison.-Gov. McGovern has issued
the following proclamation design@t-
ing Thursday, Nov. &c, as Thanksgiy-
ing day:
AS autumn draws to a close it be
comes increasingly evident that the
people of Wisconsin have been espe-
cially 1agored this year by a gracious
providence. Never before was nature
kinder. Sunshine and rain i'll proper
succession and distribution assured
abundant crops. Good health has
blessed us. In sharp contrast to the
cataclysm of war that now devastates
all Europe, our people have been at
peace among themselves, and with the
whole world. So we have ample cause
for gratitude and thanksgiving.
In grateful recognition of these
blessings and in conformity with the
proclamation of the president of the
United States, l, Francis e, Mccoy
ern, governor of the state of Wiscon-
sin, do hereby designate and appoint
Thursday, the twentysixth day of No
vember, nineteen hundred and four
teen, as Thanksgiving day, and | ear
nestly recommend that the people
meet on that day in their accustomed
places of worship and there offer
thanks, with prayer and praise, to God
who has so abundantiy prospered us
and so lovingly cared for us through
out the year
But while we as people have been
so greatly favored, heartrending ap-
peals for help come to us across the
Atlantic. They tell of rich fields and
populous cities laid waste by waste,
of the ruin of millions of happy homes
and the restitution of numberless Wild
ows and orphans Here, therefore, is
rare opportunity to make the beau
tifel Thanksgiving season memorable
this year for works of sympathy, ben
evidence and practical charity.
Out of our abundance liberal contri-
buttons should at once be made to re-
lieve the distress of the unfortunate
and the helpless in the war-ridden
countries of the old world.

bones and muscles were shaped with

struggle that breath might be! So
many baby mouths drawing life at
women's breasts-all this, that men
might lie with glazed eyeballs, and
swollen faces, and fixed blue, Enclosed
mouths, and great limbs tossed And
we cry, Without an memorable cause,
this must not be- No woman who is a
woman says of human body, 1t is
nothing"
Women will end war when her
voice is fully and clearly heard in the
governance of states-because, on this
one point, and on this point almost
alone, the knowledge of woman, sim.

BOILING WATER AS WEAPON
Parallel for Act of Heroic Women
Found in Siege of Naaur by
the Tartars.

The heroic acts of the Belgian wom
en- who defended their homes against
the German invaders, resorting to boil
ing water when their ammunition gave
out, has historical parallel which
win no doubt be of interest at the
present time. says the Outlook.
In this case the defenders were Cos
sack women and the sceue of the en-
counter small town not la from the
Sea of Azov.
In 1774. during the first Turkish
war, the town of Naaur was being be-
sieged by 5000 Tartars-a large army
in those days All the men of the
town had left for the war. which was
proceeding at some distance, and the
town remained undefended save for a
handful of soldiers. 1t had. however,
the advantage of being surrounded by
a wall and was we'll supplied with am
nutrition. The enemy imagined that
they would only have to overcome a
very few soldiers and the town would
be theirs, Instead. to their amaze
ment, they had to face an army of
women, young and old, arrayed in
their best red sarafans, fully armed
and eager to fight. And these wom-
en- not OILY defended the walls of
their town, but they sailed out and
fought valiantly in hand-to-hand Skin
mishes. They also tended enormous
fires ano heated pitch and boiling wa
ter to pour on the heads of the ene-
mics when they approached the walls
of the town. The story goes that not
only did they pour water and pitch on
the foe. but the broth that was cooking
for dinner went the same way
That was the first experience the
Cossack women had of active serY-
ice" Later it became a tradition and
a custom that in battles the women
should take their share of actual fight
ing, And during the continual raids
and battles which occurred they be-
came expert soldiers, standing side by
side with old warriors and often help
ing with less usual weapons, such as
scythes and pitchforks.
The Cossack woman of today has
retained her traditions, and she is not
only independent and generally eff
cient, but she is also often an excel
lent shot, and is quite capable of de-
Tending her village if necessary as
fiercely as her ancestress.

rae rurn of the ride.


From time immemorial the history
Of the popular hero has ever been the
same. To king and patriot, to the
favorite girl at school and the small
boy who is leader of the gang" to
politician, to preacher, to actor and
author, comes first worship then

escape this common fate; and the pub
lie idol who was kissed only yesterday
for his gallant deeds is scorled today
for having permitted the kissing. Oh.
caprice of the human heart! Oh, cry
of the race for the unaccustomed!
From that first anniversary of his
entrance ilto the home, Abraham felt
his popularity decrease--in fact more
than decrease. He saw the weather
vane go square about, and where he
had known for three hundred and
sixty-five days the gentle, balmy feel
of the southwest zephyr, he found him.
self standing of sudden in cold.
bleak northeast wind The change be-
wildered the old man, and reacted on
his disposition. AS he had blossomed
in the sunshine, so now he began to
droop in the shade. Feeling that he
was suspected and criticized, he began
to grow suspicious and fault-finding
himself. His old notion that he had
no right to take woman's place in
the institution came back to his brain,
and he would brood over 1t for hours
OF cit L.a xryifI
his pipe and Angy.
The old wife grieved to think that
father was growing old and beginning
to show MS years. She made him some
tansy tea, but neither her persuasions
nor those Of the whole household could
induce him to take it. He had never
liked "doctoring" anyway, although he
had submitted to it more or less during
the past year in unconscious subservi-
ence to his desire to increase his popu-
larity; but now he fancied that where
once he had been served as king by
all these female attendants, he was
simply being "pestered" as punish
ment for his past behavior with Blossy.
All, with it's surprising ending that
had been a humiliating affair, and he
felt too that he would be long in for
giving Mrs. Darby for not having con-
fided to him her actual intentions.
Now he was afraid to be decently
courteous to one of the sisters for fear
that they might accuse him of light
dalliance again; and he scarcely ever
addressed the new member who came
to take Blossy's little room, for he had
been cut to the quick by her look of
establishment when she was told that
he belonged there.
In his mental ferment the old man
began to nag at Angy. Sad though it
is to confess of hero honestly loved,
Abraham lad nagged a little all hts
married life when things went wrong.
And Angeline, fretted and nervous,
herself worried almost sick over
fathers condition, was guilty once in
a while out of the depths of her anxi-
ETY. of nagging back again. So do we
hurt those whom we love best as we
would and could hurt no other.
