NO-TREATING LAW
 IS NOW ENFORCED IN LONDON DISTRICT
Drinking Among Lower Glass Women Is Reported De-
 @creasing As a Result.

London, Oct. 26@The no treating law now in forceTin the London dis trict will from the present indications greatly decrease drinking among wo- men, for it's among the women of the lower classes that treating is the most prevalent. Even in the most poverty stricken s1uns of the East End, a wo- man who drinks by herself is consid- cred mean, greedy and unsocial, and she is acdordingly ostraeized. The only social life among these women is at the public houses. At all times of the day, they may be seen around the bar or in the streets with beer glasses in hand. Since the law prevents min ors from entering the barrrooms the women with babies in their arms stand outside for their drinks. But often children attend to the babies while the mothers and grandmothers are inside.
 The no-treating order went into eff feet in the West End and in the more respectable parts of London without a protest. It was taken joke,and the public houses were crowded with men buying their last treat. But in the East End, actual resentment was felt, chiefly among the women. They regarded it as blow at their main source of amusement.
 Settlement workers count on talk ing advantage of the new liquor regu- 1ations by starting more social halls A number of these are in operation in the sluTns now, and their populari-- ty is growing They are especially de- signed for soldiers and their girls as a cheap place to spend an evening. The halls are provided with pianos and games, and tea and other soft drinks are sold at cost prices Here tofore, the saloon, or stpub'' has has been the only social meeting place for the people of the slums, who are glad to escape their own dismal tene ments.

ADVERTISING AS A T1N1E-sAvER

Probably one great reason why ad- vertising is so extremely influential is that it is such a tine-saWer.
 If a person has certain article to buy, he could of course go around to every store in-the place and see what every merchant had to offer. This would take an interminable time, the loss of which would be far more than any result to be gained. Also one would be so tired by the experience, that as the old proverb goes, "he might walk all through the woods and pick up a crooked stick at last.'
 The common sense way is to look through newspapers for advertise ments in the line desired. The mer- chant who has enterprise and ability to pick up good bargains has enter prise enough to tell the public about them. Those who don't make any eff fort to inform the public are ignored A quick glance through the news papers saves interminab1e time, and is a reliable indicator as to where the best results can be had.

French Honor DantOn On
 Anniversary of His Birth

Parisian radicals of all degrees will today pay their annual tribute to the memory of Danton, the great leader of the French Revolution, and his monument in Paris will receive it's customary decoration of red flowers. This twenty-sixth of October marks the 18th anniversary of the birth of Georges Jacques Danton at Arcis- sur-Aube. For all his excesses, Dan- ton remains the ideal figure of a rebel Gigantic of stature. with a bold and irregular face redeemed by the fire which flashed from his eyes, and with a voice which was Hkened to the peal of thunder, he seemed to his followers to be almost god. He was as brave and ableN as George WaShingto but he lacked the calm ness and sanity which were the dis tinguishing characteristics of the American revo1utionist. With all his faults, Danton's honesty and patrio- tisn- are unquestiOned, and something of his fiery, indomitable spirit, which he manifested in urging hs country men to resist the invading Prussia-1s, animates the Frenchmen of today.
 Danton was a lawyer in Paris at the outbreak of the Revolution, and his robust, impetuous temperament and great ability, as an orator quick ly made him leader among those who were plotting the downfall of the Bourbon tyranny. The court sought to bribe. him from his allegiance. but he replied scornfully, in the pride of his power, F'I shall save the/king or kill him!' When at last the mon arch was hailed before the revolu- tionary tribunal to stand trial for his life. Danton was among those who voted for the execution of the death penalty When the Prussians invad- ed France to vindicate monarchiaI ideals, Dantons brave stand gave courage to the nation. His words on that occasion have become a battle cry in the France of today
 Legislators, it is not the alarm cannon that you hear; it is the pas-de- charge against our enemies. To conA Quer them, to hurI them back, what do we require To dare, and again to dare, and without end to dare!' That phrase has been repeated by millions of Frenchmen in the last fif4 dace, ct encore de Paudace, ct tou-. jours de Paudace.'' And it was Dan ton who first uttered that inspiring phrase, "Government of the people, by the people, for the people-a phrase since incorporated in the or atorica1 masterpiece of man greater by far than he who first uttered the words.
 Danton, luxury-Ioving, frank, gen erous, reckless, soon incurred the bit ter ennity of the cold, cautious, as cetic Robespierre- Danton called his enemy "a sanguinary tyrant-as truthful a phrase as ever fell from Danton's lips. Danton's wife and his friends urged him to fly from the wrath of Robespierre but he refused.

The living room OF the bungalow
was large and comfortable. The walls
were adorned with the heads Of wild
beasts, and their great furry hides
shared honors with the Persian rugs
on the floor. Hare was a man who
would pack up at moments notice
and go to the far ends of the world to
find a perfect black panther, cheetah
with litter, or a great horned rhi-
noceros. He was tall and broad and
amazingly active. for all that his
hair and mustache were almost white.
For 80 years or more he had gone
about the hazardous enterprise OF sup
plying geological gardens and circuses
with wild beasts. He was known from
Hamburg to Singapore, from Mombas-
sa to Rio Janeiro. The Numidian
lion. the Rajput tiger. and the Malayan
panther had cause to fear Hare Sahib.
He was even now preparing to return
to Ceylon for an elephant hunt
The two daughters went over to the
tea tabaret. where a matronly maid
was busying with the service. The
fragrant odor of tea permeated the
room. Hare paused at his desk. Lines
suddenly appeared on his bronzed face.
He gazed for a space at the calendar.

he go back there. or should he give up

never had young men about. The men
he generally gathered round his board
were old hunters or sailors. kathlyn
watched this budding romance amused
ly. The young man was very nice.
But her thoughts were always and
eternally with her father.
During the last week in December
there arrived at the Palace hotel in
San Francisco an East Indian, tall.

cept for his brown turban he would
have passed unnoticed. For Hindus

however. and an enormous emerald on
one OF his fingers. produced an effect
quite gratifying to him. Vanity in the
oriental is never conspicuous for its
absence. The reporters gave him scant
attention, though. for this was at
time when the Gaekwar OF Baroda was
unknown.
The stranger. after two or three
days of idling. casually asked the way
to the wild animal farm OF his old
friend, Colonel Hare. II was easy
enough to find. At the village inn he
was treated with tolerant contempt.
These brown fellows were forever
coming and going. to and fro. from the
colonel's celebrated farm

the 3lst day OF December, this East
Indian peered cautiously into the
French window OF the Hare bungalow.
The picture he saw there sent thrill
into his heart. She was as fair and
beautiful as an houri of Sa'adi. She
sat at a desk. holding long. white
envelope in her hand. BY and by she
put II away, and he was particular to
note the drawer in which she placed It.
That the dark-haired girl at the tea

PRIVATE SCHOOLS.

PRIVATE SCHOOLS.
One of the prosaloon arguments in
high license states is that the liquor
traffic helps maintain the public
schools. A Nebraskan newspaper fit
tingly replies thus: Yes. that is true,
but it does more than that. 1t main
tains a school system of its own.
While the little boys are being gath
cred into the public schools where
they are trained to read. to write and
to think, the young men are being
gathered into the private schools of
the liquor traffic, the saloons. where
they are trained to swear, to tell lewd
stories and to drink.
The public school takes the boy.
builds up his intellect and trends him
towards high character and good
habits. The private school of the
liquor traffic. the saloon, takes that
boy when he is little older, de-
bauches his intellect and trends him
toward low character and bad habits"
