PiPFfi RY MRS. J. E. HASTINGS. The following paper was read at a , recent V o (hers1 Vesting of the W. C. T.U., by Vre. J. E. Hastings; I* there a sweeter word m the English language than the word home? Home IO, soft, sweet sound 1 Who has not seen the hour when the mere whisper of the word could bring tears, of longing to the aweary eye, ever turned wearily toward the morrow? Who has not Jcnowu the moment when the thought of home has calmed a stubborn heart, that defied all else? Home l who can define the word? “ Home is where the heart is,” says one. Another says, “ Home is where a worldo f love’ s shut in and a world o f sorrow out.” In the history of the world for Centuries past, many wo­ men have held the sceptre, and na­ tions have .looked by turns with fear„and love upon the hand that ruled them. Strong men have •bowed to the stern will of an Elisa­ beth, or yielded to the gentle sway of a Marie Antoinette. Armies have followed a Zerioha' on to victory; nations have wept with a discarded ‘ Josephine, In nearly every land under the sun has woman ruled by royal right, but where has there been a throne erected so worthy her occupancy, so world wide in its in­ fluence, as that which she occupies tnaur free-born. America? What robe can be more queenly than that in Which the husband vests ins wife when making her the keeper of his heart and home? What crown- jewels more resplendent than 'those o f which Cornelia was sO justly proud? What patent royal, to he more eagerly sought after tbah that conferred by tbe divine right of wife and mother-hood? What king­ dom more to he desired than that of home? In this glorious land where none are royal, all are queens, gov­ erning by the Cod-given right of womanhood, ' , This being true, what a responsi­ bility rests with ns as home-keepers and mothers. How we should strive to keep the home a haven of rest for ?, the h»’ baud who comes home in »,». the evening, tired, after the stren- *MSStt*duties of the day. ' tffc.Twwa* tr im * , <m re m khe o&mm tp&pmm srm * boys, that they will be glad tospend the evenings at home rather than loaf in some down town store or pool-room. Some think they can not make their home attractive bite cause they do not hay« fine furniture *r handsome carpets. We may net all have these butWe can keep what we haver neat and clean. These lines cofne tossy mind: “ Home’ *.nob merely four square -. walls,' . • ^Though with pictures hung anil guilded; Home is where affection e lls, Pilled with shrines the heart has • builded, * Home 1go,with the faithful dove, Sailing neath the heavens above us; Home is where there’ s one. to love, •Home is drhere there’ s one to lovi vtL . Home’ s not merely roof and mom, It needs something to endear It, Home is where the heart can bloom, Where there’ s some kind lip to cheer It; What Is home with none to meet, Hon* to welcome, none to greet ua? Home is sweet aud only sweet W h en there’s one we love to meet u«,” Herein lifes the secret! love for each other. It is not fine furnish­ ings which attract children, but It Is th* kindness and love shown them that counts.

So ■will our children, when the old home iB no more, cherish the family altar and their Christian training a* the sacred spots and in­ fluence for got din their lives, and It will bea means of making them useful and honest Christian men and women. W* may think wo; can shift our responsibility to the day-school teacher or the Sabbath- school teacher. But, nol the influ­ ence of the home is far greater than any other and more lasting. Then too, we muBt have good books in the home, for the reading of good books is a training for after years which cannot be estimated. We must teach our children to be industrious,'and to hove their part of the work to do, for if we allow them to grow up in idleness they will still be idlers in the world’ s work, and we know that “ Satan always findswork for idle hands to ; do,” So to "keep oat the had we must plant something good. How our hearts go out in pity to the children of the homo where, the father, and, sometimes the mother ns Well are drunkards and we .see the children suffering physically, mentally and morally for the sins of tbe parents. What can we ex­ pect from these when they take up the burden of life, but that they will he criminals and a menace to society, unless they are in some way broughtto see the error of their way's and thi&imistbe from outside influence. We alllcnow of the great good that Judge Lindsey is doing for the chilvreri as judge of the juvenile courtof Denver, Colo, The following fs an article written by him: ‘Shameful to relate, he was in jail—-a strange place for a twelve year old hoy with a soul and heart. Tbe jailer had telephoned me one cold wintry night that the boy was m a spasm of crying, and had so alarmed him that he urged m* to come at once. I grabbed my coat and hat, and wenfcont into the night femingthat the, plt%*£ than a criminal law that condemns little children to crime and iron cells. .But this was before thought against the jail was, fdugbtand Won. This was before Jove and firmness had supplanted hatred and degra­ dation. Behind iron bars that. would shame the king tiger1of the jungle, I found the boy. He was Sleeping and you would think that not a care had'ever visited that tousled head, with its worn and tear .stained face. But he wakened, startled by the grating of thoTron bolts and bars and the clinking of great keys turn­ ing in their solemn, monotonous lacks, as the jailer, leaving me alone with the hoy, returned from the cell back into the dimly lighted corridor. The hoy, frightened at these strange surroundings, looked at his new cell mate at first cautiously— almost fearfully. Then a look of joy and gladness came to his eyes, as might come from the captive at the approach of deliverance. The boy knew me, for he had been a chronic little truant, and there may have been worse things, but they may be left unsaid, for it was the boy and not the ‘ things’ we wore trying to redeem, I sat down m the cell oh the iron floor, and put my arms around the boy. I told him how much I thought of him, and how I despised the bad things he did. Yet what could I do if he did not help me? I might help him but I could not care ry him; I would always ho his friend, buthe was getting both him­ selfand ms In trouble, if IiO‘swiped things’ for I f I should let him out and ho ‘swiped things’ again would not the officer say that th* judge made a mistake in not bonding ‘that kid to the State Industrial School where he would not have ft chance to swipe things’. Then they would say that both the judge aud the boy should he in jail. How could he ex­ pect a judge to keep his job if his boys did such things? He saw the point, and standing upright there in the cell, the light in ills eyes speaking better than his words the earnestness of his promise to ‘ stay Wid yef, judge,’ as he tearfully de­ clared he would never get mo into trouble, and We would both keep out o f jail. And so I almost as tearful­ ly accepted hts proffered protection ami out of the jail we walked to­ gether into the raging storm. And yet* it was no such storm as had raged in that boys life a home blighted by a father who had de­ serted and trodden under foot ever* Ivow he took at the marriage altaf, And so a father’s care the divine birthright of every child had been dented him. The hoy was hot bad. ■Hisopportunity had been poor; bis 1environment was bad. ttook him j home to bis mother, a poor, strug- wondcr, that the child Is not ‘brought up In tbo way it should go? Is it the child’ s fault? It not why then the Jail and degradation? The boy returned to school. -JTe brought good reports for two years, and with them he brought joy and gladness. He had, in a poor way, tried to supply what was lacking in his little life, but to do this well, a spark had to ha struck somewhere, ora heart string had to be sounded that would respond. One day his mother came at the end of a weary, toilsome day to tell mo that Harry was a changed hoy. She told me how thoughtful and loving he was, and that once when she had been sick, he had, with the tenderness of a woman,* waited on her, aud given up all the pleasures ot tbe street. Finally tears came into her eyes, and she said: ‘Jiidgo I never knew just why Harry changed so much, till one day vyhen I was ill, he had been so sweet ahd kind, I asked Mm how it was he became so good for the judge, and looking up into my tace with a tear in his eye, he said: *WeJ mother, yon se,e its this way—if I ver get bnfi, or swipes things again, the judge—the judge will lose his j o b - see?—and he is my friend—he Is— and I’ m goin* to stay wid hitn.” . Mothers, let us see to if, that our hildren are trained to the best of our ability, and if we do this we have done our best, and that is all that is required of any one. “ The dearest spot on earth shall be Home, sweet home; , The fairy land they love to see .

That Spake# well for our bizhess. Hinnepsy. How they miss us! I had a iotror from “ BlgMoike,” the p'lecemen-at Xenia, and lie tellB me that he's havin’ things aisy since the town went dhry—that it has kilt his biziiess—not half as many arrests. To show you that. It’s three, he says the number of arristB for dhrunk m six months whin they had saloons were lift; since they votlied thim out the’ve only had 15 artists for dhrunk in six months. Isn’ t it stlirange, Himiessy, that the Aimrican paple can't see thatJit klllsbusiness to vhote a town dhry.

Moike says that Casey, who spint many a doime wid ns and who quit dhrinkitigis tunning a diary, It was this man Caseywho had alwa’ s spint his money o’ er tho bar. When the “ Auty-Haloon League” began praohin’ tiinperanco in Xenia, Casey etliopped his dhtlhking and wint down to thominister and took the total abstinence pledge, and in two mouths he had saved enuff money to b’yjiimaelf a little cow. After about two years, when I tould him that if they vhoted tho saloons out o’ Xenia again that grass would grow upon the sthreets, a smile came over Casey’s face, and he looking back at the prosperity of those two years, and fhlnkln’ o ’ his little caw, he said, “ Be gobs, If that's so.

The scene of the opera is lAid in Bud* Pesth and tbe music has a delight­ ful Hungarian tinge, There is one love waltz song that occurs about a dozen times in th* opIVa and is. the motif!. It is entitled, “ DoNot For­ get Me,” a dreamywaltz, which Is already one of the favorites of the country. Th* same gorgeous pro­ duction used last season will be seen. here. No expense has been spared on costumes, property and scenery. There will b* an ensem­ ble of 85 people and th* chorus is the best ever heard In light opera. Miss Van Studdiford has somt beautiful numbers, notably, “ Do Not Forget Me” and “ The Butterfly and the Clovtr." She is recognised as having one of til* fittest voices overheard in this country m light opera. f George M. Cohan is known for a lively, breezy, fast comedian and these qualities ar* nowhere shown to better advantage than in his play “ The American Idea” which, with Trixie FrlganzaIn th# role, will be given at th* Fairbanks Theatre, Thursday night, October fist. Miss Frlganza is *tt* of th* most capti­ vating, bewitching comediennes on th# stage, not only possessing great personal beauty and attractiveness but likewise extraordinary skill In securing comsdy effects. Her work in “ The American Idea” delights every audience and she is the re­ cipient of applause throughout the performance. Tho pwee itself is one of bristling, witty dialogue, comic situations and pleasing en­ semble effects from start to finish, The costumes ar* rich ahd elabor­ ate, representing the latest fashions in Baris, in order to supply tho local color to the action, which takes place in th* French capital. In writing “ The Amsgjvan Idea” Mr. Cohan made an especial effort to obtain variety, comedy and speed Ho declared that he had striven to compress two musical plays into one perpormancs. Th* success o f tho production proves that he sue eoeded, It is altogether one of the best entertainments of its kind on thestage.
