Greenville- Marshal Hans Christ
ensen has had strenuous time this
fall and winter with tramps. He says
that more tramps have visited Green
Vile the last eight months than in any
other year in the history OF the city.
Nearly every night the city lookup
has been filled up with them. Some
nights tramps are so numerous that
they stretched out upon the cells over
head. The marshal became so much
bothered with these dodgers that he
made a rule that "A hobo could sleep
in the lookup only one night at a
time and then they must "move on"
The tramps did not observe the rule
and many had to be elected out OF
their comfortable" beds after they
had slipped through and found a
warm place, in the lookup. The mar
shall also has trouble in getting them
up the next morning so that the beds
can be made up and the Jail cleaned.
The easiest way. he soon found out,
was TO open all the windows and let
in the cold, and they soon got out. The
council made an attempt to get the
right to work prisoners and hobos but
were unable.

A VIEW OF HIMSELF

The following story is going the
rounds OF the newspapers and is we'll
worth passing on:
young man OF fine family and
splendid gifts was going down as fast
as II was possible for a man to go,
through strong drink. His friends had
pleaded with him, but he had taken
their warnings as an insult. One of
them, who was court stenographer,
was sitting in a restaurant one eve
ming when the young man in question
came in with companion and sat
down with his back to him at the ad-
Joining table. He was just drunk
enough to be talkative about his pri-
vate affairs, and on the impulse of the
moment the stenographer pulled out
his notebook and took a shorthand re-
port OF every word he said. 1t was
the usual maudlin folly OF a young
man with his brain muddled by drink
and included a number of highly can
did details of his daily life-things
which, when he was sober. he would
as soon have put his hand in the fire
as speak about TO a casual acquaint-
ance. The next morning the ste
nographer copied the whole thing
neatly and sent it round to his office.
In less than ten minutes he came tear
ing in with What is this anyhow 2"
It's n stenographic report of your
monologue at the restaurant last even
ing" his friend replied, and gave him
brief explanation.
Did | really talk like that" he
asked family.
Il assure you it is an absolutely YER
batim report, was the reply.
He turned pale and walked out. He
never drank another drop.

Want Street labels

st. Johns-The Woman's Club has
awakened to the necessity for individ-
ual effort if this city is made the
beauty spot desired. First of all, a
necessary convenience is street labels.
Strangers complain OF it's being the
most difficult to find their way about
Of any city they come across. The
club would like suggestions as to how
TO bring about these improvements.

INFLUENCE OF SALOON

The saloon is sending more children
into the factory. the mines, the mills
and shops, that ought to be at school
or play, than the influence OF the trade
union has been able to eliminate, ell
ther by direct action or by legislation.
The attitude of organized labor upon
the employment OF women in industry
Is just the same as II is with children.
The saloon influence is driving by the
thousands women into the Industrial
world who ought to be at home.-John

DANGERS OF BEER-DRINKING

young business men, who seemed in

constitutions. In a few years 1 was

CATHOLIC ADVANCE

The Catholic church has always en-
couraged total abstinence among its
people. The Catholic Total Abstinence
Union OF America has 100, 900 MEM
bers, and upon that society the church
through her last four popes has in
voked the blessing Of heaven-to the
envy, we are told, of all other Catho-
lie organizations who have not been
thus favored. This church, moreover,
through her bishops and priests, ad-
ministers the pledge to tens OF thou
sands OF children every year on the
occasion OF their confirmation or first
communion.
Last summer saw the first organized
move on the part OF Catholics look
ing definitely toward the abolition of
the liquor traffic. A conference OF
Catholics OF the United States and
Canada in the interests of prohibition
was held at Niagara Falls and adopted
most radical resolutions. Hereafter
moral suasion methods will be backed
up by n legal suasion policy.
