the United States affiliated rvith the American Federation of Labor have been asked to co-operate with regard to observance of Labor Sunday. Here is an opportunity for all churches to drr.w nearer the great mass of Amer

icans. A multitude of Sundays are

given up to some .special observances, and surely there could be no more worthy observance than Labor Sunday.

This country is full of the teachings of the honor and worthiness of labor.

Europeans' criticise Americans because

they have made such a fetish of work. Our fame as a nation is founded on our enterprise and the desire of the jrcat

majority of citizens to be self-sustain

ing and producers. This spirit has made possible the utilization of all the

encrmous resources this country holds.

This spirit, together with brains and

brawn. Therefore, it would be entire

ly fitting arid proper that the labor that, has made the United States the

most pre-eminent nation on the globe should be recognized by the churches of the land in the observance of Labor Sunday.

A THING OFTHE NIGHT The Dark and Deadly Mission ef the Modern Torpedo.

RARE HEROISM. It is rare indeed that a death occurs that is so pathetic and heroic as that

of little Cora Graham, the eleven-year-

old girl, who passed away Wednesday from the effects of gasoline burns. This little child knew she was to die and yet &he exhibited rare bravery and did not falter at the thought of leaving all so dear to her on earth. She was prepared to meet her heavenly Father, and seemed to be happy in the thought that she soon would. Her bravery and coTTageousness should be an example and a consolation to her bereaved father and mother and should help them bear up under Iheir great loss. The Palladium extends its sympathy to the parents of this brave little girl, and at. the same time-wishes to express its admiration for the brave little sou! that sailed so bravely from this vale of tears into the great and happier hereafter.

ALMOST HUMAN IN ACTION.

"RUBBERNECKING." When the famous maybe some people would rather call it the infamoustrial of Harry Thaw was on in NewYork, the papers were full of accounts of the great morbid curiosity aroused, and of the number of people w ho fought for admission. In a lesser degree, this same curiosity is being exhibited in Richmond over the SmithVaughan trial. Each day of the trial sees a large number of men and women eagerly drinking in every word of the testimony. As in the Thaw trial, this is probably due to the prominence of the people involved, and shows that the great American public, here as well as in New York, has anting other failings, the over-mastering desire to "rubber" into the affairs of others.

Cure for Drunkenness

Orrine Treatment to Be Used at Home Without Publicity or Loss of Time from Business.

CO-OPERATE WITH TEACHERS,

Parents should co-operate with the teachers of the public schools in the

campaign now being waged to inculcate in Richmond pupils the idea of promptness. It is encouraging to note that already evidence of the good of that campaign is coming to light in the monthly report which shows that the per cent of pupils prone to tardiness is decreasing. Procrastination is one of the most serious obstacles to success nown to mankind. The habit of putting off. putting off, of neglecting to do needful things when they should be done, is a curse that has held many a man to a lower level in life than his mentality and attainments warranted. And in no better way can the habit of procrastination be encouraged than by nicking no attempt to correct children who have very little regard for being prompt in their daily life. Schools are not so much for stuffing little brains cram full of "Reading, 'Riting and 'Rithmetic" as they are for training those little brains to grow up in the habit of concentration and of making the hands do what the brains think should be done. If the child, however, learns by concentration to master hard mathematical problems, it thus learns a quality that later on in life will help it to master far greater things. Teachers can talk until doomsday about children not being tardy, but they must have aid and co-operation from parents to bring about the best results. If parents show very little regard as to whether their children are tardy or iiot, the children will unconsciously get the idea that what is not sufficient to bother their parents very much, is not of enough importance for them to worry about. Therefore, all parents should give the teachers every help in their endeavor to inculcate the idea of promptness into the young boys and girls of Richmond.

The best aid to temperance is something that will strengthen the drunkard's wrecked nervous system and cure his unnatural craving for drink. We believe that any man who really desires to be cured of the liquor habit can cure himself by using Orrine. This remarkable treatment has made so many cures that we are glad to sell it under an absolute guarantee to refund the money if it does not cure. It is in two ,forms: No. 1 that can be given secretly, and No. 2 for those who wish to be cured. It is not only the most reliable treatment known, but it is also the most economical as it costs only $1 a box and there is no detention from the usual duties, while if a cure is not effected, uiere is no expense whatever.

It Starts Itself, Regulates Its Speed and Depth and Steers Itself to Its Unsuspecting Prey Diabolical In Its Dogged Determination. Unseen and unheard, the torpedo is a thing of the night. The gun announces Its presence with thunder and flame, but the torpedo steals silently from the side of an unseen craft, and only those who released its deadly energy know that the missile Is on its way. Look at It lying upon the deck, the burnished body glittering in the sun. It is hard to believe that an object only sixteen feet long and weighing 1,200 pounds contains sufficient locked up force to sink a battleship of many thousand tons displacement and cause the loss of hundreds of lives and millions of dollars. And yet there is a suggestion of tremendous force about the cigar shaped body that looks so threateningly solid and strong. Indeed, the torpedo at once attracts and repels the observer, having much the same effect as a beautiful snake.

Deadly as are Its powers, a child could prepare the weapon for its murderous task. Nowadays simplicity Is synonymous with implements of war, and man's ingenuity has made it as easy to kill our fellow men as to shell the proverbial peas. So everything about the torpedo works automatically. Unlike other marvels of machinery, it is not even necessary to press the button. The torpedo presses the button for itself. From the moment it enters the sea it is freed from human interference. It Bets itself in motion, regulates its own depth below the surface and even steers itself with, a certainty that is almost human. You can see the steering as you stand upon the deck by watching tha double line of bubbles which mark its course, bending first this way and then that, but soon steadying into an unswerving line straight to the distant target. There is something diabolical in the dogged determination with which this mass of metal refuses to be diverted from its goal. The little rudders in the tail are always working, keeping the head pointing on Its path. One might well imagine that a diminutive man were secreted within those shining walls, so accurately is the missile steered. Strange as it may seem, this devilish ingenuity, for it is nothing else, owes Its being to a child's toy. Think of the incongruity! The most deadly weapon the mind of man has ever conceived owes Its practical existence to a "magic top," primarily designed to amuse children. But such is the case, for here again we find the wonderful gyroscope using its well nigh human intelligence for a sinister purpose. This terrible Ingenuity, however, has one great advantage, and that in a peaceful direction. Practice can be

carried out effectively and without j

danger. For this purpose the "war j head" containing the charge is replac- i ed by a "dummy" filled with wood to ' bring It up to the exact weight. j Three buoys are usually moored a i mile or so away as a target, and the!

torpedo seems to spring from the vessel like a living thing, eager to reach the center buoy. Two rows of bubbles streak from the ship in an ever lengthening line. The center buoy heaves slightly as they pass, and several hundred yards farther on the bubbles suddenly cease as a silver head protrudes for a moment from the sea. Then, with engines at rest, the shining body heaves gently up and down, consciously- waiting, as It seems, for the boat to tow it back to the ship. More than this, lest it should be overlooked in a heavy sea the torpedo breathes a spiral of smoke and flame into the air to show the seekers its whereabouts.

Harmless, as we see, in practice, but think of its powers In war deadly certainty of action, human intelligence added to superhuman powers working iu secret! At any moment a Teritable "bolt from the blue" may chatter a great battleship from stem to stern. Imagine the terrible uncertainty of it all-night following night of anxious

watching, long hours passed peering ! Into the darkness to see if a black ' craft is lurking in the shadows! Every! speck dancing before .tired eyes con- j stkutes a menace to the weary brains 1 behind. j And then when fears are lulled, since : the danger never comes and vigilance i Is relaxed, a gentle heaving, the pre-! hide to a deafening roar, and the split-! ting of steel plates and the rushing of i water, a brilliant flare in the dark- j

ness, the cries of men on the verge of death, and the work is done. Afterward silence, while the mantle of night closes round again, and under Its welcome screen a tiny craft steams in search of another prey, leaving behind only a few floating sparks to mark the last resting place of a mighty battleship and 800 human beings. Imagine this, and you will know the treraendoiis moral force locked up within those burnished walls. Exchange. It is frequently necessary to repeat a self evident truth a great many times in order to get it believed. Chicago Record-Herald.

Saved Him an Answer. An English nobleman, noted for his wealth and for his disinclination to part with it, once attended a bazaar promoted by the Frlneess Metternich in aid of a hospital. "Will you buy this cigarette case?" asked the princess, offering a pretty article to the peer. No, his lordship did not smoke. "This penholder, then?" said the princess. No, his lordship never wrote. "A bonbonniere surely?-' No, said his lordship, he never ate sweets. The princess then took up a cake of soap. "I shall not ask you to buy this soap!" she remarked.
