The public will be a big sufferer in case of a strike and medjation will jessen their troubles. STATE FARM FOR INEBRIATES. At the recent state conference of charities and correction, Prof, W. B, Bailey sounded another important note in behaif of the idea of state farms for inebriates. He advocated several plans for the purpose of ultimately benefiting prisoners and making their sentences periods of correction instead of simply incarceration. In pointing out that there should be a state farm for inebriates, he showed that during the past year of the 10,960 persons sent to the county jails, there were 4,574, or nearly half of them, com- mitted for drunkenness. Many of such cffenders are frequently before the courts on the same charges. They go to jail, live well, get over their spree and when they come out they are ready to start on another debauch. The state insane hospitals are the nat- | ural end for such persons, and liquor is one of the great causes of insanity. Dr. H. M. Pellock, superintendent of the Norwich State hospital, was one of the strong advocates of a bill before the legislature in behalf of such a state farm. To such an institution the persons could be committted for treatment and during their commit- ment as a part of the treatment they would be employed in working the farm. The institution would have its regulations and the persons sent there would become a benefit to themselves and the community from tne good that would be done them. One of these state farms for each congressional dis- trict wouid seem a better division than one for the entire state, for while all the persons arrested for intoxication would not be sent to the farm, yet the number of regular violators in that respect from the entire state would make a large force to be handled on one farm. (Cause and o(re“ were clearly up sins the case of the Titanic, and of vanity and negligence pro- duced grave results.

Jt was omly a summer shower, but she wanted the hat \to wear at the picnic tomorrow, and she hurried for shelter. It happened to be the open doorway of a business block. A fire had emptied the place of tenants and there was a smell of wet, burned wood that was unpleisant. But still more unpleasant ‘was the fact that the doorway was al- ready occupied and by Harris Hitch- cock of all persons. He raised hig hat as she darted into the shelter and shook her skirts free of the clinging raindrops, but she turn- ed her back upon him withoyt ac- knowledging the salute. “If my presence distresses you,’ he said coldly, “I might find some other shelter.” Kate Jooked out upon the street with a little shudder. “Do not disturd yourself on my ac- count,” she said coldly. “There is plenty of room for us both.” “It will only be for a few moment: he said with & smile. “These furious storms seldom last.” Kate made no reply to this state- ment of scif-evident fact.

There is not the slightest danger.” Kate regarded him indignantly, He had sometimes teased her about her fear of lightning and she was keenly sensitive about her peculiarity. In her overwrought nervous condi- tion she believed that he was again ter- menting here and, at his touch, she shrank back, her face white with anger and her eyes blazing. “Since it appears that T am not safe from annoyance here,” she said, hotly “will vou kindly permit me to pass?” Hitcheock barred the doorway. flooded he said reassur- OTHER VIEW POINTS The new minister from the Chinese | republic to the United States i8 Chang | Mum Yow.

He did not anticipate the move and was thrown off his balance. = Before he could recover himself Kate stood in the doorway, gathering her skirts in one hand. Just at that moment a dazzling flash shot from the heavens and rent a tree on the opposite side of the street, while the discharge was accompanied by a terrific clap of thunder. With a little ery, Kate turned and blindly sought Hitchcock who sprang forward to catch her. She threw her- seif, wobbing, mto his arms, and ae obvious to all else sought to calm her.

Mr. Editor: We have heard a nam- ber of theories advanced io account for the lack of rainfall during the last four or five years, and it has been generally accepted that the cutting off of ths timber throughout the country was the chiefl cause. This year we are hearing from every is the cause of so much rain The Mississippi valley is full of water, New England is full of w=ater, and even TFairview reservoir is filled to overflowing, and still to offset this the supply of timber has diminished more rapldly during the past three years then ever before. the timber supply has s controlling | power over the amount of rainfall of | the country, this vear goes to show beyond a certain point it works opposite to all advanced theories, and would lead to the conclusion that if all the timber was cut off it would rain all the time. The writer would some of our scientific be giad to have men explain the | sudden changes in cause snd effect. A. LUMBERMAN. Want Law Enforced And Places Closed.
