The conviction of Becker and -the gang of guhmen in New York hasn't by any means accomplished what must be done towards improving the police force and cleaning up that city. It makes an excellent beginning, but such a start must be followed up .in the strictest manner to galn the full benefit of the reform and accomplish the best results. That case-resulted from the grafting by the police off the gamblers, an upholding of, or winking at vice which as representa- tives of the law they were employed to suppress. That is only one of the many avenues in which grafting is carried on. The police knew the con- ditions that existed and the officials likewise knew them, yet they failed to act until the murder was committed and public sentiment forced it. Evidence has now been given before the Investigation committee by & wo- man who bears the same relation to the disreputable places of the metrop- olis that Rosenthal did to the gam- blers, that the police are even now grafting off that traffic. It is a tale of deplorable conditions which has now been revealed in another direction. It calls for action, strong and direct, and the extermination of that idea that the monopoly of vice exists as the spe- clal privilege of the police force. Vice and crime Alone are bad enough, but to have them operate through thelr. blood money to silence the authorities, should bring New York to the realiza- tion of its position of helplessness and arouse the anaesthetized public senti- ment to drastic action for its own re- demption. AUTOS IN POSTAL SERVICE. With the inauguration of the parcels post the first of the month there will come the demonstration as to the amount of business which the offices will be required to handle and the re- quirements for the handling thereof. While it may be somewhat slow in starting generally it is bound to in- rease rapidly as time goes on and one of the important details in con- nection therewith is going to be the method of handling the packages. On the rural routes vehicles are- already provided and this city has one mount- ed carrier, but it is evident that it will be necessary to secure a vehicle of some sort for the delivery of the packages, if there are y of them weighing eleven pounds fore the service it will be.ap) has developed arent that an ims and there will in many in- be demand for them at the The systems in Europe are in- arried on by motor trucks biles and it is bound to be ey will permit of the quick- service and one could ness of several horses.

A Krench| proverb declares “man is alwpys a child; and a child is always 'man.” You may, as I _have, heard some;| speaker say: “When I was a child I acted as a child, but when I became a man I put away childish things.” You and I may have done even this. I doj not know what you may have put away, but I do not think a wise man | ever abandons play, althe’ a man’s| play and a child’s play are unlike. They both represent self-entertain- ment, and self entertainment may_ be both educational and exalting. Play includes both physical and mental ac- tion—play of the right kind is a good | balance for the heart—it cheers. Men have diversions on the side to brighi en lite—these are the plays of matur; ty. He who has abandoned play has| put aside a solace, has set a com- forter at maught. All play and no work mey make Jack a dull boy, but all work and no play makes man un- companionable and discontent.

What is a first-class man in the labor world? He must be a man who knows what honor and honesty is—a high standard man. Having - these standards he cannot be slack or neg- ligent but must give homest service and do things on honor. He seldom gets to be a dollar-a-day man—It is the dollar & day men who makes the first-class man_ distinctive.

There was never any of this “I did it!” about The Christ, for he recognized and tried to make piain that the individual must do it—must not only believe, but act.

If this was more per- fectly understood professing Christians would bask less and do more. Uncle Jim Bludsoe does not lke the agitation about the equality of wo- | man. He says its an lssue where there 15 no chance for argument. “No man,” says he, “ever faced a real live wo- man in a dispute that he did not seem to feel at the end of the ta he had met two instead of one. lewed mathematically there is no equalizing tWo to one, for these figures represent a permanently _overthrown balance. “Then,” says Uncle Jim, “running a home is equal to driving a dozen horses tandem, and it takes a skill- ed driver to do that; and designing 21 good meals a week is what few men can do; the war on dirt and flles and the checking of wear and tear on clothes would knockout ” then he snorts, “equali- i y!!

Theirs was a large and valuable domain, and in the midst of a fine old park was located the fam- ily mansion which resembled an old baronial hail with many an irregular turret and rounded tower, showing how one owner after another had added to the original building according to his own taste or caprice. Fortunately for Evelyn her sex did not debar her from the inheritance as would have been the case in some families of their rank, in the country, and though many expressed regret that there was no longer a male representative of the family, all were thankful to keep Evelyn in their midst. Evelyn’s moth- er had died many years before, leav- ing the little daughter to be brought up by her father, who was devoted to the child as he had been to/his wife whom he sincerely mourned. He form- ed no secohd marriage and found his greatest pleasure in training the little girl to enjoy out-door sports. Al- though_dainty and fragile in appear- ance, Evelyn was: really strong and robust, delighting to share her fath- er's long tramps about the estate, for he was his own business agent. He looked after his well kept timber land, judgement decided all claims from many tenants, and, as he greatly enjoyed the hunt, Evelyn was early ained to be a fearless rider, and was usually to be found among the fore- most when the hunt called the country folk together to follow the hounds. She had wedded during her father's me, Harry Blount, the younger son of a prominent family in a near! county. Only one brother stood b | tween him and the entailed estate, and that brother was a dreamy student without family ties, and openly avowed his intention of leaving the estate to Harry, whom he declared better fitted for such a position than himself. Most people coincided in this opinion, for Harry Blount was apparently well ed for such a life as his was unsuited-to it. - When at home, he was the idol of the temantry, and the favorite in all the county families No house-party Was complete without him, and while the men found him a welcome addition to their number, more than one fond mamma looked upon_him as a desirable match for one of her daughters, and much regret sed when it was learned n Clairemont had captured | to leave their | , and that he wi cotirie and iden er county. re he soon became as popular as is own home. Jovial and bluff of manner among the men, courteous and nt to the women, he quickly took place,- and, aside from politics, took an active paft in advancing all local interests. “All who met him felt that he was no mean match for Evelyn Glairemont. Extremely fond of the hunt, he was soon noted for his skilful management and was made master of the hounds. He was proud of his wife's fearless riding, and in this as in many other thinzs their tastes were in com- mon, so that their wedded life scemed as perfect as any could desire. Nothing could dishearten Harry, not even the surprising news which came to them of the marriage of his broth- er. Nnselfish to a fault, he threw back his head and laughed heartily, “Who would have expected it of Harold” We exclaimed. “How did he ever get his eyes off from a book long enough to select a bride!

Good for Harold! He is a lucky fellow.” Neither was he disheartened when the news arrived that a son and heir had been born in Blount Manor. Again his generous heart responded in sincere congratul tions to his brother, and again, he expressed his delight in no stinted measure. “I am glad for them. The boy will wake Harold out of his dreams and do him good. 1 know one thing though, Evelyn; they cannot beat our two promising youngsters. They are the finest in two counties, I venture to say, and do us credit. Everyone who sees them ad- mires them for they are a sturdy little pair.” But as time went on, Harry Blount's jovial habits and friendly feelings to all, began to tell against himself. He was too weak to refuse where he should have resisted, and it was whispered about that he was & in- dulging too freely in stimulants, and that he stald too long at cards. He | was always prompt in paying his | debts of honor, as they are called, but | was getting the name of being a reck- | less player. He fell into the t | unscrupulous gamesters occ i and more than once his wife's assistance to redeem his | pledges. This she rendered without | reproaching him, for she believed his! ready promise of better things in the future. A sad awakening came at last when he was compelled to admit that again he had lost at the gaming table, and heavily. Their home was threatened, and to meet the large demand some great sacrifice must be made. . He advocated selling off the timber-land, clalming that it could be better spared than anything else. She | very loath to consent to such a ion, for she remembered her father's pride in his forests, and for the children’s sake she desired to keep the estate intact. No, Harry, we will sell the hunters and give up the meet for a time; they can be repiaced if times change, but once curtail the land, apd the an never be re- & gained.

Then turn- ing to Harry, who stood at her side, | she said_smilingly, “Better times are | coming, I am sure, and we shall ride again to the hounds. “Never 0 blessed with a bravor wife,” said Harry Blount aft- er the affair was over. “I do not de- serve such kindness, but this time you will find my word amounts to some. thing. You need not fear for the, fu- ture” His remorse wes sincere and he kept his word. No more gambling debts accrued, for he was forced in- to manliness by his wife's brave de- votion, and her happiness was made | complete by the knowledge of his en- | tire reform. AN IDLER.

An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth may be the code for pagans, but not for Christians. With them an jmmeasurably higher principle prevafls: “I say unto you, love your enemies, do good unto them that hate yoy” “Unto him that smit- eth thee on the one cheek offer also the other.” “Whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain." Human nature does not always taks kindly to such teaching. For It ap- parently falls to meet the practical situations of life. The old Adam in most of us demands a more radical treatment of detractors and assafl- ants. One sees people everywhere feeding ancient grudges and ‘evening up old scores, imagining that thereby |they are fulfilling a demand of their being. Right instincts will folly of such a course. To pay back evil treatment in kind simply puts one on a level with the original of- fender. It s a confession that one is on no higher a plane of life. - If 2 man can retain wholesome respect for himself, he is really uninjured through any series of calumnies or machinations that may be employed against him.
