Years Ago He Comes Back
For Evangelistic Campaign

Captain Charles II. Stanley, ex-

crowds.
He spoke to packed house in
the United Brethren Church. Pen

he talked in the Lutheran Church,
Fairview.
Mr.. Stanley is an entertainine
speaker who defies the conventional
and is unmerciful and caustic in his
verbal thrusts at booze. He Is also
a good singer. talks one minute and
sings the next and at times convulses
his audience with his witticisms.
Mr.. Stanley was converted in this
city many years ago. in the mission
in State street, formerly the IaFay-

comedian in theatrical production
Since his conversion he has abandon
ed the stage and has lectured in
nearly every English-speaking coun-
try in the world.

the earth would become q mad

are simple as Abraham Lincoln was

There is no hatred even for the
German, there Is instructive abhor-
ence, but no wasting or words over
symtoms and acts which belong in
the realm of pathological psychol-
ogy. Common decency draws a veil
over these things and leaves them
to the physician who at the end will
doubtless write the verdict and give
his full skill to drawing up the post

must work in the day while our

Plan to Avoid All Pos

London, April 26.-Communal
feeding will be established on a large
scale in London this month, under
the direction of the Food Controller.
The kitchen of the largest hotel in
London will be utilized for prepar-
ing the food, which will be distribut-
ed over n wide area by means of To-
cal depots.
The intention at present. is not so
much to provide cheap food for poor
persons. as TO provide economically
food for all classes, the
idea being thus to conserve available
supplies. Mrs. Pember Reeves. wom-

FRANCE BUCKLES

Courage and Joyousness Is

Paris. April 26.-The courage, the

,$ersities in France as lecturer for
the Hyde Foundation.
Nowhere have l found any lack
of joy, any lack of willingness to
work for victory" said Mr.. Carter.
The joyousness of France in this
moment of crisis is not the super
fetal thoughtlessness of those who
are afraid to think. 1t is the calm
happiness of those who cannot fail
and who know that they cannot fail
because they are seeking after those
things which are not of the earth
and must therefore continue for that
very reason because. without them,

The Mayor smiled very thought

turned back to his business which
happened to be the collecting of dog
taxes. but l did the weeping for him
and wondered as l looked out on the

selves as these people have could
fail to conquer those who had lost
all self control"

it would not open any of them.
However, on the second time
around she came upon a low cur
tain she had not noticed before,
and behind it was little door
about Is inches high. She tried
the little golden key in the lock,
and. to her delight, it fitted.
Alice opened the door and found
that 1t led into small passage,
not much larger than a rat hole.
She knelt down and looked along
the passage into the loveliest gar
den you ever saw. How she longed
to get out of the dark hall, and
wander about among those beds Of
bright flowers and those cool
fountains! But she could not even
get her head thru the doorway.
There seemed to be no use in
waiting by the little door, so she
went back to the table, half hoping
she might find another key on it.
This time she found little bottle
(Which certainly was not there
BEFORE" said Alice), and tied
round the bottles neck was a pa
per label, with the words DRINK
ME-" printed on 1t.
1t was all very we'll to say
Drink me-" but the wise little
Alice was not going to do that in
a hurry.
mo, I'll look first" she said,
land see whether It's marked
poison or not" for she had read
several nice little stories about
children who had got burnt, and
eaten up by wild beasts, and other
unpleasant things, all because they
would not remember the simple
rules their friends had taught
them.
However, this bottle was not
marked poison" so Alice ven
tured to taste It; and, finding ii
very nice Ut had, in fact, a sort
of mixed flavor OF cherry-tart, Gus
tard, pineapple, roast turkey, toffy
and hot buttered toast), she very
soon finished 1t off.
q
What a curious feeling!" said
Alice; II must be shutting up like
a telescope"
And so 1t was, indeed! She was
now only 10 inches high, and her
face frightened up at the thought
hat she was now the right size
for going thru the little door into

was arrested for 1t. He felt badly
about it at first, but when he
found this friend had a wife and
four small children, Pete sat tight
he is still in Sing Sing prison.
Petition Warden
1t is only little while ago
when he said to me: Gee, I'd give
my right arm to go to France and
fight" And he meant It.
When news of the coming con-
flict with Germany was first
brought to the prison, a petition
was brought to Acting Warden
George w. Kirchwey, signed by
every able-bodied prisoner. In 1t
they petitioned the warden to go
to Albany and ask Gov. Whitman
to allow them to fight for their
country.
Why not? Is the thing too far
fetched? We DO need men at the
front. The military authorities in
Washington are making appeals
for recruits. What is true of New
York holds good in every state in
the union.
Give Then q Chance
1t has been proved that the pris-
oner is amenable to decent treat
ment. It has been proved that
prisoners may be trusted. They
have proved their timber In a
hundred ways and have always
come out on top.
One hundred thousand of
these men are ready to Join
the army tomorrow! Even
the foreign born prisoners
went about the thing with en-
thusiasm.
II costs more to run q prison
than to maintain an army In the
field. Prisons manufacture Grim
inals-society MUST pay the
damage. however unwilling they
may be. ONE man with criminal
inclinatiOns can do as much DAM
age as a German U-boat.
You are paying MILLIONS of
dollars yearly in burglar insurance
because you insist upon treating a
fellow human being as a dog. or
worse. Gov. West In Oregon, and
Gov. Hunt i'm Arizona have PROV
ED to the world that IL prisoner
is treated as a man, HE ACTS
LIKE A MAN.
There is a mighty force Of en-
ergy stored up in the prisons. This
power is ready to be used for
GOOD. Why not give them a
chance?

CHAPTER /.
Down the Rabbit-Hole.


Alice was beginning to get very
tired of sitting by her sister on the
bank. Once or twice she had
peeped into the book her sister was
reading, but it had no pictures or
conversation In it-"And what is
the use OF a book" thought Alice.
without pictures or copversa-
tions?' .s
So she was considering in her
own mind (the hot day made her
feel very sleepy and stupid)
whether the pleasure of making q
daisy-ohain would be worth the
trouble of getting up and picking
the daisies, when suddenly q
White Rabbit ran close by her.
There was nothing so very re-
markable in that nor did Alice
think ii so very much out of the
way to hear the Rabbit say to it.
self, "Oh. dear! Oh, dear! l shall
be too late!" But when the Rabbit
actually took a watch out of its
waistcoat pocket, and looked at II
and then hurried on, Alice started
to her feet, for it flashed across
her mind that she had never be-
fore seen a rabbit with either a
waistcoat pocket or a watch to
taken out of 1t, and burning with
curiosity, she ran across the field
after it, and was just in time to see
il pop down a large rabbit-hole I'M
der the hedge.
In another moment down went
Alice after 1t, never once consid-
ering how in the world she was to
get out again.
The rabbit-hole went straight on
like a tunnel for some way, and
then dipped suddenly down-so
suddenly, that Alice had not a mo-
ment to think about stopping her
self before she found herself fall
ing down what seemed to be a
very deep we'll.
Either the we'll was very deep,
or she fell very slowly, for she
had plenty of time as she went
down to look about her. First, she
looked at the sides of the well,
and noticed that they were filled
with cupboards and shelves. She
took down a jar from one of the
shelves as she passed it: it was
labeled Orange Marmalade," but
to her great Disappointment, II was
empty. She did not like to drop
the Jar for fear of killing some
body underneath, so managed to
put 1t into one of the cupboards as
she fell past.
WELL" thought Alice to her
self. after such a fall as this.
shall think nothing of tumbline
downstairs! How brave they'll all
think me at homel"
Down, down, down. Would the
fall never come to an end? 81
wonder how many miles I've fallen
by this timer" she said aloud. 81
must be betting somewhere near
the center Of the earth. Let me
see; that would be 1000 miles
down, / think"
Down, down, down. There was
nothing else to do, so Alice soor
