me DAY or PRAYER.
President Wilson’s proclamation
calling for a national day of prayer
on October 4 for the cessation of
war in Europe probably is without
precedent in this or any other
country. But, if so, it is the most
beautifuPprecedent that has ever
been set in any nation. There are
prayers for peace in our prayer
books, and days of prayer for the
speedy termination of wars have
been often fixed by official procla
mation in countries engaged in
them; but for a neutral nation of
more than 90,000,000 of people to
get down on its knees and pray for
peace in other countries will be one
of the roost impressive, as well as
one of tha most unusual, spectacles
ever presented on earth. We be
lieve everybody in the United
States will offer up a prayer on
that day in the earnest spirit of
altruism, which the President's
message suggests. And if any
thing can make a path for peace
“where men can see none,” we be
lieve unselfish supplication from
the heart of a great country can
open the door of divine compassion.
—The Baltimore Sun.
, THE DRUG EVIL.
Some idea of the extent of the
drug evil may be had when we read
that in Rochester, N. Y., within
two weeks after the enforcement
of a law restricting the sale of
habit-forming drugs eight victims
of cocaine appealed to the city
authorities to place them irr places
of safe-keeping where they might
be purged of their desire; that un
less such measures were taken
their inability to get tine drug would
mean suicide or some worse crime.
This appeal has opered the eyes
of the Rochester authorities and
an institution where drug victims
may be treated will be opened at
once. Our good friends who spend
much time bewailing the losses
caused by the sale of liquor should
also investigate and deplore the ap
palling increase in the use of drugs
and start a vigorous crusade against
the eminently respectable drug
gists of some of our large cities
who, for the sake of a few dollars,
send more men to hell in quicker
time, everything considered, than
the distillers and brewers a.re do
ing. And there is no more pitiful
sight in this world than a crazed
victim of cocaine or morphine.
All that President Wilson had to
mobilize was the gc od common'
sense of the American people,
which he succeeded in doing.
A man who lives right and is
1 ight has more power in his silence i
than another by his words. Char-j
acter is like bells which ring out
sweet music and which, when
touched accidently even, resound
with sweet music.—Phillips Brooks.
If the growth of vegetables can
be increased 75 per cent by the
use of electricity there is hope that
some day the pea, which now rolls
so easily, will be large enough to be
jabbed firmly amidships.
The Wilson administration does
not cross streams before it comes
to them; but when it does come tc
them it does cross them.
The perfect husband always be
longs to another woman.
REALIZES VALUE OF FRIENDS
Successful Man Has Proved That
There Is Much Truth in Old,
Well-Known Adage.
“That man," a neighbor said to me
the other day, “always stays by his
friends.” He waB speaking of another
neighbor who has fallings like a lot
more of us. The man In question is
fairly succesful. His talents are few
and he Isn’t gifted with any more In
dustry than he should be, but he Is
counted as one up well along toward
the head of the procession In town
affairs. He liked to make new friends,
but he never saw a prospect good
enough to cause him to trade an old
friend for the prospect. He thinks
when you have a true friend you have
a cinch and the market offers no
trade worth considering. He has been
pulled out of the mire several times
because he refused to trade horses
in the middle of the stream. When
he Is sick the boys call on him and
ask If there Isn’t, something they ran
do. When he is In trouble he gets
assistance without much efTort on his
part. His one asset In the many years
that I have known him has been that
he stuck to his friends. He Isn’t very
smart, but he knows a cinch when he
sees It.—Kansas City Star.
PURELY ON BUSINESS BASIS
Habitual Malefactor Objected to Sen
timentality Being Introduced Dur
ing Court Proceedings.
There resides near a railway station
of a certain town In the West a very
original sort of character, an elderly
purloiner of coal, wood and such sup
plies as he can lay his hands upon.
Now, this old man had been haled
before a police magistrate so many
times, upon each occasion being fined
a small sum, that the magistrate un
dertook to deliver a moral lecture to
the prisoner.
"Again you are brought here on the
charge of stealing coal," said his
honor, "and again I must warn you
that a repetition will result in a more
severe line. I’ve a good mind to send
you to Jail. I would have done so long
ago had It not been for your white
hairs. I’ll let you off with the usual
flne, but don't let me see you again.”
“If you please, your honor,” said
culprit, udth the utmost politeness,
“don’t let's have any false sentimental
ity about'this matter. I steal my coal,
I pay my flne, and there’s an end
of it”
Quinine and Colds.
The old Idea that quinine would
cure a cold has been exploded. It
used to be supposed that quinine
checked fever; It Is now known that
the only fever It has any effect on Is
malaria.
Colds are treated In many ways, but
all depend upon one principle—that of
opening up all the organs of elimina
tion. Anything that will make the
kidneys, bowels and lungs work and
will open the pores of the skin and
cause profuse perspiration Is good for
a cold. A hot bath, followed by a hot
drink and rest under blankets, is the
best and simplest of home treatment.
Hot milk or hot lemonade is far
better than hot whisky. There is no
need to take an alcoholic drink, but
If this must be taken gin Is the least
Injurious, as It has a stimulating ef
fect upon the kidneys. But a far bet
ter way to use alcohol Is to rub it
over the body Immediately after the
hot bath.
American Flats for Australian City.
The Sydney Herald says a growing
inclination is shown to Introduce into J
Sydney’s domestic architecture the
American methods of placing fittings
in all the rooms of a house. With a
view of experimenting in this style
of building homes for the people, a
contract has been let to erect a block
of flats at Neutral Bay for F. A. Thom
as. These will be fitted out on the
most up-to-date American style. In
one or two other instances of building
residences around Sydney similar
methods are being employed.
She Was Offended.
Perhaps one of the funniest occur
rences took place at a glove counter
A woman stepped up to one of the
clerks one day and said: "I want some
gloves for a child."
“Yea, madam," replied the clerk.
“What sice and what color kid?”
"You impudent girl,” Bhe fairly
screamed. “She is white, of course:
do you think for an instant I've adopt
ed a black child?*'—Exchange. i
FATHER'S MASTER SHOT
By HELEN LEWI8.
The low mountains were drawing
a cool shadow over the hot Kafir val
fey. In the sun
shine the birds
were singing and
shrieking.
But this did not
disturb the little
sleeping girl who
was lying near
the pond, all sur
rounded by high
grass. One small
hand she had put
underneath her
head; instead of a
[ cushion she had
s her rich golden
■ hair. Long silky
lashes touched her
round cheeks, red
^ with sleep, and
between the cher
ry lips two rows
of small, pearly
teeth were risible. One shoe she had
kicked off and a lovely little foot was
seen. As she lay there in fairylike
sleep she made a beautiful illustration
for "The Sleeping Beauty in the
Wood."
And the monster was not far away,
either.
At the edge of her white gown
something moved. Something ghostly
dark and vicious. It crept further up
the gown, very careful not to make
itself felt. It crept on and reached
the bosom of the sleeping girl.
Black as the night, the ugly mon
ster with its long hairy legs moved
on* across the white gown and ap
proached her throat, which lay bare
to the grasp of its poisonous, blood
sucking fangs.
It was a giant spider, an enormous
ly big one, which had crept out of its
cave. It was at least six Inches in
diameter. It could catch and swallow
: small bird just as easily as an ordi
nary fly. It was very near her throat
now.
Two inches—-and again two inches
—crept the disgusting monster, and
reached her bare throat.
As it rose on its hind legs, its dark
body against the white gown, the
black monster kept perfectly quiet, as
it wanted to prepare its poisonous
fangs before sinking them into the
fresh veins which had tempted its
greedy appetite.
The man* who had Just reached the
middle of the small valley stopped
suddenly as if turned to stone. The
shout of joy with which he had meant
to greet the girl whom he had looked
for anxiously died in his throat. How
great the danger in which the little
girl was hovering he knew only too
well. He knew better than anybody
that all wild animals, snakes and poi
sonous insects included, bite or sting
Immediately when they are scared.
If, therefore, he let himself be seen
now the monster would follow this in
stinct and sink its deadly poisonous
fangs into the girl's throat before it
disappeared.
His brain was always clear and the
life he had lived had taught him to de
cide quickly. He ii ‘antly remem
bered that when he had returned from
the hunting and discovered that the
child was missing he had not hung
up the rifle—and this rifle was loaded
with a rather small bullet.
As he made every effort to be ns
calm as possible he lay down noise
lessly and pressed the weapon against
the stone. He was very clever with
the rifle, but he did not dare to take
even the slightest risk.
He took a hair-fine aim and the shot
went off. The faint noise of the shot
did not wake up the girl. Hut the dis
gusting monster had disappeared—
blown into thousands of pieces in the
empty air.
First, when it was all over, his hand
trembled. He threw away his rifle,
jumped up and ran toward the little
girl, lifted her in his arms and pressed
her tightly to his breast. The girl
woke up.
"Papa—wet,” said the little girl, and
looked into his face—which was wet
with cold perspiration—with sleepy
eyes—"Ray dry, papa.”
"Yes.” answered the father, "I have
been playing William Tell, and It waa
a bit tiring."
New and Old Britannic.
In bestowing the name Brittanic
on their latest and greatest ship, the
White Star line has revived a name
famed in the annals of Atlantic ship
ping many years ago. The old Britan-1
nic had a tonnage of 5,004, and a
length of 455 feet. She was a single i
screw steamer, built in 1874, sailed
from Liverpool on her maiden voyage
to New York June 25 of that year,
and made the large number of 271
round-trip voyages to New York.
The Brittanic and her sister ship,
the Germanic, were the first vessels to
reduce the time of passage across the
Atlantic to less than seven and £. half
days. In 1877 the Britannic crossed
from Queenstown to New York in
seven days, ten hours and fifty min
utes, thus beating by three hours the
best previous performance of any com
peting liner. The old ship covered no
less than 2.282,999 statute miles In
all, and consumed 626,000 tons of coal
during her epoch-making career.
