Qufetly it has Sone along for eighteen years mnever asking for drives to aid it financially, But prospering until today a home is furnished for 140 children, between {nfants and young men and women of 38 or 19 years, who have been under the constant supervision and care of those interested, possibly beyond any- thing else, in their welfare. «Dr. J. E. Klingberg, who has charge the institution, emphasizes at this time, the new value which the late war has shown to exist in human life. Never before, is his belief, has full @emphasis been given to the signifi- cance of a living body and never be- fore has there been a time when the #piritual side of man or woman, boy ©r girl, should be so deeply consid- Jared. ZiTo this end the head of this fine ipstitution emphasizes the need of bringing to the fore the realization of Bible tsuths in the mind of the child. He praises the local schools for their efficiency; he is glad of the interest in “‘his children” shown in the Sunday sehools, and he is eager' to have the moral nature of those young people over whom he watches, developed in mecordance with the precepts of the ;great book. These teachings, he carried into the #iomes, and in the Children’s Home they are emphasized. . Possibly many do not realize that h this Home New Britain has a place 'hore a baby may be taken, may grow through childhood and {into young ‘manhood or womanhood under the . Best influences possible of procuring where so many are gathered to- Mher‘ A lad may be taken into the achool at any time up to his ninth or m birthday. After that it is hard %o admit him because of the habits of and thought that e is apt tol “JEST RUMINATIN.” (Robert Russell.) Explainin’ “Relativity” is mighty hard to do; Some {fellers thing its rubbish, but Doc Einstein says its true. He says twelve chaps can un- derstand hig new discovery— But he’s forgotten thaf ol’ pipe that dreams for you an’ me. Hae says that not a thing can move as fast as 'rays o light— He doesn’t know o’ visions, comin’ in the dead o’ night That tell the mental retina o’ things that is to be ‘Which we poor humans hera on earth ain’t able yet to see. Now if the human eye can’t see those twilight visions fair, An’ if our dreamin’ vision tells us certain they are there, It surely shows those visions o’ the night has got a speed That even rays o’ light, the swiftest things, cannot ex- ceed. So, Mr. Einstein, please don’t say that swifter is the light Than twilight dreams o’ what's to come that make our lives more bright. Try This on Your Wise Friend If a shepherd counted his sheep by two, threes, fours, fives or by sixes he would always have one left over. Counted by seven there would be none over. How many sheep had he? Answer to yesterday’s: Procras- tination is the thief of time. R o have acquired on the streets if, at that age, -he is a candidate for the home. Girls are taken at almost any age if still possessing the subconscious ideals of right living. But the young- er the boys cr girls are, the more pleased .are those interested in our Children’s Home to receive them; the miore joy they take in trying to mould them into tthe fine men and women which are the hope of the world. Dr. Klingberg and all others inter- ested look forward to the completion of the new building on the heights. Lack of funds prevents its completion immediately. But there comes no public call for such funds. The Home will continue to prosper through the love for it and its in- habitants possessed by many who have been its faithful friends in the past. When times are better the nec- essary funds will come in some mys- terious way and ' the children will look down from the great hill where- on their Home stands, physically in- fluenced by its lofty position as those who love them hope they have been influenced by the lofty ideals which have inspired it and those who have given to and labored for it. SELLING WAR DECORATIONS. The Navy department yesterday sent to the House a bill to punish any- one selling war decorations. Assist- ant Secretary Roosevelt said that pawn shops were displaying many ~aedals and badges. It seems there could be litle ob- jection to such a bill, and much said in'its favor. ,True it is that ex-serv- ice men are sometimes placed in a position of actual hunger, and a “pawning” of some war medal mav mean a meal and lodging or more, ac- cording to the heart of the pawn- broker. But such cases are ‘tew and the lcss of sentimental value that would come from a general disposal of these trophies would be deplorable. Cases have been known where the posses- sion ofgsuch trophies brought at least temporary success to crooks. In one instance a man was: in jail a small Southern town. He pro- Cuced a French Croix de Guerre, and with seeming modesty told of his achievements in France. Good peo- ple looked up his case as far as they were able and made up their minds that he was a wronged man. The sight of the Croix de Guerre kept strengthening his assertions. Steps were taken to obtain his freedom. The jailer, influenced by the interest of the good people of the town where he was confined on a rather serious charge, gave him a certain amount of liberty. He was a ‘‘trusty.” At length an official who knew of the man and the details of the case, sent word that he was coming to the jail the next day to confer with the “good people” and the “war hero.” This information was given the pris- oner the day before the appearance of tbe official. That night, having helped himself to clothing and other things belong- ing at the jail, he made his escape. afraid, apparently to face the official Who knew the truth concerning him. He was never found. The man may have been’in France; he may possibly have gained the Croix de Guerre, but it is probable rather that he had purchased or stolen it. Thus its possession was the final.straw which led to his escape. If men cannot guard in their war trophies, the law should prevent oth- “ers profiting by thes; possession.

Judge Thomas' decision yesterday when he vacated the teéemporary in- junction obtained by the jitriey inter- ests preventing the authorities frem interfering with théir running, in no way decides the merits of the case. A temporary injunction may be granted on slight grounds when 1t seems that those seeking it will be harmed, if it is not granted, in sueh a way that nothing can ever make up for such injury. One might obtain a temporary injunction to stop another irom cutting down a tree in such a manner that it would fall en onds house and cave it in, for instance, if such a case is conceivable. When steps are taken to set that temporary injunction aside, and there appear doubts as to whether or notl the complainant would be so injured, and where it is shewn that injury which could never be made up for would not necessarily follow, the tem- porary injunction will be eet aside (vacated) until arguments on. the merits of the cass—whether or not an ‘interlocutory” injunction should be sranted, may be heard. There will be such a hearing August 16. The judge was especially loth to con- tinue the festraining order granted by him, and which was by him vacated yesterday, as he recognized the au- thority of thé #tate to enforce its own aws. This enforcement should not be interfered with by the United States courts, one of which he constituted at the hearing of the motion, except where the rights of those seeking such interference with the state law was clear and beyond dispute. The injurictien is an extraordinary remedy and should be made use of with the greatest degree of hesitation. Chis is especially true where the United States steps in and takes a hand in state matters. “Government by injunction” has been decried by labor for years. It should not be denounced where the remedy is properly used. Improper use of it, however, would bring the courts into disrepute. ' But yesterday's decision is not a blow to the jitneys the effect 6f which will last. An adverse decision August 16 would be much more serious. “Illinois Govérnor Train,” headline. §till on Small wender! the Heading, “Vanderbilt Soaked For Income Tax” is satisfying te many who love the werd “Seaked,” and to others who revel in theé news.

In olden days, long years ago, The time we label rather slow, And smile at, in our prime, ‘They loved, the same as now we do, Theé good, the beautiful, the true, Abhorring ev'ry crime. They gossiped then, so I've been told, A custom ev'ry bit as old Ag Father Timeé; and, too, They did some other things that we In this, the greatest century, Are still inclined to do. Which goes to prove, in many ways, That while we frown on former days Displayed on Mem'ry shelves, And chide thé livep of other men ‘Who went befere, we should not when We follow them ourselves. These olden days from what I hear, Were filled with lots of goodly cheer, Including sparkling wine. The wemen, too, were quite as fair, As those teday, with bauty rare, And song was tnen divine. It this be so, and there’s no doubt, For histéry seems to bear it out, I toast the olden days When men and woémen, in their spell, Were won't té live and love quite well; A plan deserving praise. In olden days, long years ago, They were not everlasting slow— They lived, in sooth, quite fast. They did as we are ‘doing now, Enjoyed themselves, as théy knew how {And paid the bill—at last. 25 YEARS AGO (From The Herald of That Date.)

Robles was among those quoted this morning. He not only assailed Gen. Trevino as an official but declared Gen. Trevino had refused to fight a Guel with him. A close guard was placed over the »lant of El Universal last night and entrance to the building was obtained only after proper identification. The quarrel between Gen. Trevino and Senor Palavicini has been one ot 1the most interesting incidents in this city for many months. ‘The editor published the entire series munications between himself and the general, including the latter’s threat Lo castigate on sight the editor for his alleged unjust charges. Senior Pala- vicini responded with the declaration that he carried a gun and would shoot on 'sight Gen. Trevino or any of his friends who, made any untoward move. The newspapers of the city, with the exception of Excelsior, which has always been antagonistic to Ei Universal, supported Senior Pala- vicini on the ground that he was standing for ‘“the freedom of the press,” and a |ively newspaper squab- bie preceded last night's tragedy. Gen. Robles was at one time in- structor in horsemanship at the Chapultepec military academy and was later identified with the move- ment which resulted in Victoriano ruerta becoming ‘president of Mexi- co0. During the Huerta administration Gen. Robles was for a time stationed at El Paso. Gen. Trevino has been in «ctive service for several years, and was graduated from the Mexican mil- | itary academy. As head of the com- mission revising military records, he has been instrumental in «bringing about the dismissal of many army of- the engine breaking down. FIND SPARROW’S NEST.
