In one or two instances wilful shooting is charged and arrests made. A hunts• man must be extremely anxious to se- cure game when be would not rather miss a shot where he is not certain as to the "game."

Meddlers' can cause disquietude yet and hinder the brotherliness that should exist between the members of the British Empire but murders, wonndings and burning to say nothin g of the tier vows strain• worry and all that, is very apt to put people into a thinking mood and cause them to see things through a different pair of spectacles. Let the dove in with the olive branch, HELEN DRERLER, with Chicago as her postomce address, is a much married woman, having bad no less than 16 men in 3 years and the 17th on the string when her dashing career was baited. Rumor says she was receiving about $soo monthly by this matrimonial pro• gram. Her choice of occupation for hubbies appears to run toward soldiers and sailors. Helen will have to desist for a while from this dizzy whirl end take holidays in a government home This will also allow her less energetic sisters to close up matrimonial alliances without being pushed aside by such a booster as Mrs, Drexler. They should get a move on though while Helen is in the"coop," Delays are dangerous.

C. T. 13, Contest here lust week Although the majority of people do not realize it, one of the greatest hin- drances to National development is the cigarette habit which ie so preva- lent among growing boyo and youths. Cigarettes injure youth') physically, mentally and morally. Wonderful 'experiments have been made regarding the effects of cigar- ettes upon athletics. These all prove that the use of cigarettes makes the competitors nervous and unable to compete favorably with those who do not use them. Shortness of breath, yellow fingers and pale and miserable faces are some of the effects. The heart cannot work properly, the lunge become weakened and the mind does not act promptly and correctly in times of greatest need. A young than who has become a "fiend" and slave to this deplorahle habit cannot easily resist the temptation to steal, cheat and drink, N. P. Stanffer, a well known Ameri- can athlete, declares that the sale of cigarettes should be prohibited and that they 'should not be tntide. He etatee that the effects of the in- haled smoke go directly to the nerve centre causing parched throats, un- steady legs and confused mind, Brain becomes dull and the body does not do its p, oper work because the nerves and heart are run down.

GET ONE, CAUL AND SEE OUR GOODS W. F. Stretton Stretton Block - Watchmaker and Jeweler Thomas A. Edison, one of the world's greatest inventors, bas recent ly discovered that tobacco used in the form of a cigar or pipe does not harm au able bodied man, but cigarettes certainly do. It is not the tobacco that a cigarette "fiend" craves for but it is the poisonous wrapper. The poison produces a degeneration of the brain which is quite rapid among boys Edison does not employ anyone who smoke cigarettes. An experiment , has been recently performed by a prominent temperance lady of Georgia. In one dish she snaked cigarette papers in water and in another she soaked common tissue paper. She set the water of the cigarette papers in her cellar and after a few hours found a mouse' lying dead on the floor. She uses tbie for killing mice now and finds It very ef- fective. In the case of a bny who smoked 1200 packets of cigarettes he sent them to the company asking how much they would give for them. The reply was "Smoke 1200 more and we will sand ynu a coffin." He would certainly need it if the wrappers are ae injurious to mankind as they are to mice. Kansas has a law compelling school teachers to instruct their pupils con- cerning the evils of tobacco and cig- arettes. In order to set a good ex• ample for the pupils the teachers are required to abstain from the use of tobacco. The use of these vile objects is making inrnt4de in the strength of the nerves of all who use them, es- pecially boys of tender yearn and women who think the practice smart. In many cases etuployere prefer laborers who do not use cigarettes and -1 in fact some will not employ men or boys who smoke them no matter haw ifew. In Pennsylvania a heavy fine is inflicted upon deniers who sell cigarettes to young men under 21 years of age ; or for minors who have them in their possession. Thesoothing effect which cigarettes give to the boy who begins smoking is In reality the numbing of the nerves It pays boys to sacrifice the "sooth- ing" effect at the start for they escape untold misery in after years. Mr- Hill, President of the American Tobacco Company, estimates that in the year 1018 the money invested in cigar§' tee in United States alone was 5158,000, 000. The deciding whether a young man should smoke cigarettes or not is a very serious question and every able- bodied, as well as able -minded hny, should :by all means decide in the negative, What Readest Thou ?

As the reptile§ that take their polo'' frena their food the ptind shapes itself to that which itreoeivee, A protnineat writer of a few yearsago tells tie that it was a turning poitttiu Ids life when in a booketot'e one day he took up the "Beauties of Ruskin," which was a book of extracts, but pure gold, and it gave him a rapture rot good Woke, stud everlasting ditgutt fortlecrepit or immoral literature, We.hisve sometime§ looked over the piles of papers that Toad the counters of eome of the cheap bookstall§ to see what kind of pabulum is furnished under' the disguise of mental food for our youth,. Much of it le cnutensinat- ing in character, We have been long convinced that the puhlieation of "blood and thunder" storiee and the detail of s emu a su est mettle to o ! t the g B 1 ) readee, It le a b'as'h o1) amain that caleies death with it. The following incident, sold to have occurred on a rail,t''ain, will suggest the dlspoeition that should be made of all each trash. News Agent on train : "Does any one want to buy a pack of cards, box and all, for 25 cents ?" J, el. Ororve : "Is that all the box you have ?" Agent : "Yes, sir," J. M, Crowe : "Give them to me. Here is your quarter." He put diem into the stoye in pres- ence of the crowd, (Laughter, and several „Amens.") Agent (terribly abashed) ; "Who are you ?" Crowe : "I am a moral disinfeeant," (Laughter.) Another sort, and more pernicious atilt, is that which sneers at religion and caricatures its professors and in etidioualy attempts to undermine the foundations of morality by painting she shot t -lived pleasures of sin in such attractive colors that evil thoughts are suggested to the minds of the young, and their sympathies enlisted on behalf of subtle and soul-destroy- ing vices. In the past, tnany youth- ful minds have been saturated with this foulness and the harvest is already being gathered. The increase of juveuile crime ; the astonishing pre- cocity in evil of boys and girls ; the prevalent 'of vicious habits and law- leseness not only among what we call the degraded elements of society but in its higher circles ; the growing ir- reverence and general reckleasneas of spirit are all owing largely to the blighting influence of this literature of the pit, The immature mind craves excitement and adventure, add the ir- religious press vomits forth the undi- gested invaginations and speculations of wicked men who write only to feed the morbid taste of beatdlees youth and simpering maiden§, and after the that shock to the moral sense they learn to feed geeedily un dime novels, etc., and a depraved taste and a corrupt life swiftly follow. Parente are often much to blame in this 'natter. Itis as tnueh their duty to provide food for the minds as for the bodies of their children, and to guard ae jealously against the cop. ruption of the orte as against the poisoning of the other. Our churches and Sunday eghoola endeavor to co- operate with parents in this respect by furnishing the children with 11- lusttated books and papers suited to every capacity—from that of the child in the infant class to the adult and thoughtful man, If the evil of pernicious literature is great, itis not beyond control. We can "conquer by displacement"— crowd out the evil by securing only the good. The beet way to dispose of a vicious publication of any sort that should come into your hands is to destroy it ; do not denounce it and then leave it to be read by somebody else who may receive from it irrepar- able injury. Of the publlshere we ex- pect nothing. They care not how they poison the mind and blight the life so long as their own pockets are 'filled with ill-gotten gains. "As a than thinketh so is he." Right read- ine will produce right thinking, which will evince itself in right con- duct. It would seem there are at least two things which all gond penple need in their pilgrimage—fresh glimpses of the petit before them, and the glory to which it leads, and a quickening of their energy to reach that mark.
