valued at $35 and gave $110 in cash for

Every school child in South Eend

THE PRISONER AND HIS FAMILY.

The older legal practice in this
country complacently sent a man to
jail for 80 days for getting drunk. and
trusted to the neighbors to bring in
food to the family The neighbors
were willing to do it. But more COM
monty the wife. determined little crea-
ture, would not let any one know she
was in want.
The laws have. disregarded too
much the plight of women and chill
dren left without support by inn
prisOned husbands. 1t is therefore a
pleasure TO read that Miss May Ali
son of Los Angeles. Calf. has been
appointed by the county supervisors
10 look after the money earned by
married men sentenced 10 the chain
gang. The husbands wages are to be
deposited 20 her credit as trustee.
When a man parts with his sub
stance for intoxicating liquor. he must
crawl home with healthy sense of
shame and sorrow for the privations
of his little family.
But after a period of this maudlin
pity. he suddenly discovers that his
wild courses do tend 10 create certain
Independent sources of revenue. After
he firmly acquires a reputation as a
6runkard. kind neighbOrs will come
In and save the wife and children
from actual starvation. The more the
husband drinks the more time he
spends in Jail, the more the family
gets. and the freer he feels TO squand-
e. his earnings.
1t is safer in many places to neglect
your wife and children than TO take
few dollars from a bank. The law
hunts down the embezzler to Canada,
but the machinery of extradition can't
be started for mere non-support. 1t
may be said that a deserted wife can
&C back to the comfort of her former
home But after she has stood up in
all the glories Of her satins and laces
and shower bOCTuet and veil. it is
hard to admit that the whole thing
was a cheat and a farce. 1t is easier
10 drop out of sight and struggle along
as best she may. This control of
husbands earnings is a good idea al. !
laws can't be made much too severe
for neglect of families.

SCHOOL ATHLETIC SPIRIT.

It is sometimes thought that school
pupils have their minds only on ath-
letics But the boys who run hlgh
school sports often say that one OF the
difficulties they have to contend with
is the indifference OF many of the
school pupils.
1t is quite a little proposition TO run
successfully a school athletic team.
1t may look easy 10 the business man.
But as a matter OF fact, there are a
sood many bills TO pay.

money on candy and ice cream. The
boys 90 where the girls want 10 go.
Loyalty is a fine trait. A boy who
stands by his school comrades and
roots for Them vigorously from the
side lines. is likely to be the man who
will be loyal to his home town when
