TELL THE TRUTH. " Wanted. Situation by a boy of sixteen. Haa bean arrested for stealing. Address Evening Press, Kalamazoo, Mich. Tba advertisement was printed one day not long ago precisely as reproduced nerewltb. And a brave ad. It Is. Tna boy was In Jail. And ho stole. Bis nam Is Charles Hampbre, and this is tba story: When tba lad was fourteen ears of age bis father ran away, leaving the mother, Charles and a traby brother. The boy bravely took bis place as head of the bonsebold. His earnings, though small, supported the invalid mother and the vVo children. And thenCharles lost bis Job. He tried desperately to get another. Occasionally he found something to do. but could get no regular employment. The little family began to be in great want. The sight of his suffering mother and brother was almost more than the lad could endure. One day he rushed from the poor dwelling in tears and took every tiling he could lay bis hands on. "The little thief I" But wslt You do not understand. When Charles was arrested and asked why he bad been taking things he refused to open his mouth. Like the Grecian boy who let the wolf gnaw bis vitals while he smiled, young Humphrey was silent. The court sent an officer to the home, and this Is what be found: The dwelling was a mere shack. Although the air was cold, there was no fire and no fuel. The chill wind drove through the cracks. There was no morsel of food. The bedclothes were mere rags. The mother was balf clad and the little boy almost naked. . "He was always a good boy," sobbed the poor mother. "He worked bard when he could get a Job, and we are starring." That's; all. Excepting this the boy who will stand between mother and the kid and the gaunt wolf starvation and go to Jail without a whimper has got a aan Inside of him. And more A boy who will acknowledge his theft and tben ask for a situation deserves the situation and a chance. It confirms one's faith in human nature to learn that Charles got bis chance and is making good.

Speed And The City Streets. Once more the Almighty haa been good to the editor of this paper in bringing him uninjured through what might have been a very serious accident. Maybe it was done because the editor has been recreant to his duty In not taking up and forcing to a settlement the manner in which our local street cars and the interurbans shall be allowed to be operated within the city limits. The editor was jolted into a realization of this last night when his automobile was sent flying across Main street by the impetus received from the "fast schedude loop" car. Not only was the editor's life and that of the man who was driving him in danger but, more important, the lives of many people on the car. The editor is very intimately acquainted with tt man who ran alongside an interurban car in an automobile for several blocks down Main street, and the speedometer showed the car was travelling at the rate of twenty-seven miles an hour. The same man once paced a street car on Main street and it was going at the rate of twenty three miles an hour. The Jolt the editor's car received last night sent It flying so fast that the speedometer, which only registers when the machine Is on the ground, was of no use, or definite data would be given here as to how fast car number 311 was travelling. Our streets are not so wide that we can give a monopoly of the middle thereof to the street railroad and interurban companies. Inasmuch, therefore, as they have not a private right-of-way down Main street or any other street, it is time they were made to realize this fact by definite action on the part of council. The city fathers have the power to regulate the speed of city and interurban cars and this should be done by limiting it to a rate that will more nearly guarantee less danger to others who have to use the streets. If the rate of speed determined by council is so safe, as far as traffic and travel on our streets Is concerned, that the street car company can not maintain a very fast schedule, let it put on more and better cars. Our streets are not built and maintained to pay dividends on "watered" street railroad and interurban companies' securities. Their cars are welcome to a reasonable use of the streets in return for a reasonably decent service rendered the community. There are careless motormen, of course. In most cases, however, the editor holds that the motorman's job depends upon his running on schedule Mme. Inasmuch, therefore, as schedule time is set by the company, if It is such as to demand a dangerous rate of speed, the motorman is compelled to endanger his life, the lives of his passengers, and the lives of those exposed to collision with his car. If the collision comes he may unjustly be made the scapegoat by the company so that it can escape blame. This is unfair and motormen should be protected from this contingency by speed laws that force the companies to maintain reasonable schedules. If, after this Is done, a collision occurs, due to carelessness on the part of tb motorman, let the fact be proved and prosecute him for criminal negligence. Meantime if the members of council wish to ascertain personally the speed at which city and Interurban cars travel in Richmond, the editor tenders them the free use of an automobile with a reliable speedometer attached. If they will try this experiment there will be very little difficulty r, persuading them to pass an ordinance regulating the speed at which all such cars can travel on our streets, and the same method can be used by the police department In enforcing the law.

STOP COUGHS AT THE START Neglected Coughs and Colds Often Lead to Pneumonia and Consumption A Home Remedy that Works. Intense suffering, great expense for doctor's bills and, only too often, death may be the results of a harmless little cough which is so often the forerunner of pneumonia and pulmonary tuberculosis. All coughs are dangerous in the extreme. The longer they last, the more dangerous they become. The time to stop them is when they begin. Here is the receipt for a home prepared remedy that does the business: Dissolve one pound of sugar in half a pint of water; add two ounces of Logos cough remedy Extract; shake and it is ready for use. See the saving? You get two dollars worth of a logical, effective and safe cough syrup at a cost not to exceed 56 cents. Two ounces of Logos cough remedy Extract, enough to make a full pint of syrup, costs 50 cents at any drug store. If your druggist should be out, send 50 cents in stamps direct to Logos Remedy Company, Fort Wayne, Indiana.

His Temporary Name. "What name hare you given your last born, Dick?" asked a southern man of a negro in his employ. "Me an' mah wife has decided to call him Elijah Pro Tem Morgan," answered the negro, with an air of pride. "Why Pro Tem?" "Dat's to show dat de middle name is only temp'rary, sah," explained the fond parent. "We kinder thought Elijah might like to choose bis own name when he growed up, an' so we throwed in Pro Tem to show him wbar to put 'em." St. Louis Republic.

For some reason no mention of the name of General William T. Sherman is contained on the walls or pillars of fame in the national cemetery at Arlington, though the structure Is supposed to carry all the names of the great leders of the civil war.

A union lodge of machinists has recently been instituted in Hawaii and one in Haiti. Cleveland, Ohio, paperhangers are discussing the proposition of declaring war on the piecework system. In the factories of Switzerland the predominent hours are nine and one-. half to ten, and on Saturdays on hour i less. j i There are at present fifteen inter-j national organizers in Minneapolis, ; Minn., and at least a dozen of them will remain there indefinitely. j The members of the British Steel Smelter's union have voted largely in favor of a move for the eight hour : day, and the officials of the union have asked for a conference with the employers to discuss the demand. The Michigan State Federation of labor has added about one hundred new affiliations the last year and it appears no was if this federation will soon be the foremost in line of state federations, both in number and activity. Last year there was paid for the relief of the unemployed members of trade unions out of the funds in the union treasuries, not less than $5,000,000. This expendituure does not include several millions of dollars paid ; in strike and lockout benefits. i The Carmen's union of Oakland and Richmond, Cal., as a result of a recent referendum vote, have decided

to consolidate under one charter. This will, it is said, give the union the largest membership of any organization of carmen in the United States. A bill passed by the New York leg

islature, amending the labor law, went into effect recently. It is designed to ; provide better sanitary conditions in bakeries. It classes bakeries as fac-1 tories and places them under the jur-1 isdiction of the State labor commis- j sion. Out of every thousand of those i whose occupation calls for constant work in dusty quarters, five die of consumption, according to German of-,

ficial figures, whereas among those who are not exposed to the action of dust, only two out of a thousand die of the disease named.

Twenty-five coeds are working as domestic servants to pay their way through a four-year course at the University of Missouri, at Kansas City. One farmer's daughter goes out and does washing, and fourteen amuse children while their parents are away from home, at 15 cents an hour. Labor in Turkey is growing dear -owing to emigration and to urgent calls for hands to work upon the coun- j

try roads which the Turkish govern-; ment builds, upon railroads and in fac-, tories. Carpenters and bricklayers,

who only two years ago received sixty to eighty cents a day, now get $1. to $1.20 in Constantinople.

The arbltrtion court in Melbourne, Australia, has announced its decision in the dispute between the seamen

and the steamship companies. The j award grants the sailors an eight-hour ! day and fixes the wages of able-bodied seamen at $40 a month. This, it is calculated, means for the ship owners : a nincreased expense of $200,000 a 5 year and, to compensate themselves, they intend to raise the freight rates j

and passenger fares.

During the last few years, conditions in all lines of business, even professional life, have changed so completely that every man is waking up to the fact that in order to win success be must specialize and learn to do some one thing and do it well. So it is with any article that is sold to the people. It must have genuine merit or no amount of advertising will maintain the demand for the article. For many years we have watched with much interest the remarkabkrecord maintained by Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great Kidney, Liver and Bladder Remedy. From the very beginning the proprietors had so much confidence in it that they invited every one to test it free of cost, before purchasing. It is a physician's prescription. They have on file thousands of letters received from former sufferers who are now enjoying good health as a result of its use. However, if you wish first to try a sample bottle, address Dr. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y., and mention this paper. They will gladly forward you a Bample bottle by mail, absolutely free.

It Is natural for a child to laugh and play and when it aulks drowsily or cries you may depend on it something physical is the matter. If you see no evidences of a serious ailment you will

not be wrong lr you quietly give it a dose of mild laxative that evening' on putting It to bed. The remedy most generally recommended for this purpose is Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, which mothers throughout the country have been giving their children for a quarter of a century. Today thousands of families are uslna- It where hundreds used it then.

and there must be good reason for this

word of mouth recommendation. It la admittedly the perfect laxative for children, women, old people and all

others who need a gentle bowel stimulant and not a violent salt, cathartic

Sill or doctored water. Dr. Caldwell a yrup Pepsin will act gently, and when taken before retiring will bring com

plete satisfaction in the morning. After a short use of this remedy all forms of outside aid can be dispensed with and nature will again act alone. All classes of good American people keep it in the home for ills of the stomach, liver and bowels, and among the thousands who have written the doctor that they will never be without It are Mrs. J. J. Stanley, 3619 Kenwood Ave., Indianapolis, Ind., and Mary Van Lin, Covington, Ind. A dose of It has saved many a person from a cerious illness. Anyone wishing to make a trial of this remedy before buying it in the regular way of a druggist at fifty cents or one dollar a large bottle (family size) can have a sample bottle sent to the home free of charge by Bimplv addressing Dr. W.
