The Boys' Brigade.
Wo cop the following from the
Urigader, the othcial journal of the
organization. The Hoys League oi
the M. K. Cliuroh, or this city, is
an auxiliary to the National League,
wa organised some time ajjo and has
a large mambership. H. I), l'ollard
i Superintendent, Ira SntherUud,
President; Herschel Kamage. Vice-President;
Harrj Steele, Secretary;
Lmien Walker, Troasurer,
The Hoy' Hrigade is a military
organization, started and maintained
io Christain churches in all part of
the world for the purpose of interesting
the youths and young men in
the cause of Chritinn Manliness.
It has for its motto the following:
The advancement of Christ's
Kingdom among boys and the promotion
of habits of obodienco, reverence,
discipline, and all
that tends toward true Christain
manliness."
When a boy becomes a member of
the Hoys' Brigade, he assumes certain
duties towards the ohurch sueh
as promise to try attend as tuauy
church aud services as
possible. He also iuours certain
ibligation? on the causo of temperance
and kindred habits are restricted, if
not entirely abandoned.
Most of the boys oheerfully
to those conditio!!? and the records
of the organization shows that
thousands of youths have boon changed
from pornicious habits in oarly
life, to cleanly, pure and high-minded
men. Even such as do not join
the church arc givon a new impetus
and asido from the spiritual advantages
thoy may gam , are benefitted
physically and morally, in a general
scnc.
How is this accomplished with
growing youths, subjeot to luring
temptations of the world, is often
askd.
Largely thru the military featuros
- is the undoubted answer. And by
military featuros, is not meant an
appeal to the military or savage portion
of a boy's naturo. Thore is, of
course, the inherent facidation of a
uniform, brass buttons and parade,
-all that to awakon pride in a
toy The martial spirit of the drill
and marching, the habits of attention
of striving to accomplish some end,
f aspiring to a position of command
all enter the boy's lore of the occupation
and lead him to sense of
responsibility in an organization
that is akin to the great military organization
of the world.
The Hoys' Hrigade, while it does
belittle the military spirit, does
not try to enoourage the fighting
of the boy. it is used more ag
i to an ond. and in reaching
tli.it ml, teaches the boy self
l, self respoot and ability to
others,
f' also touoliofi a boy that Christ
as a mossengor of peace.
What has boon tho history of this
organization that has its branches
in nearly all parts ol the world?
It was started in Glasgow, Soot,
and, in lSSH, by W. A Smith al
citizen of that city, who bocamedoep
ly interested in tho wolfare of the
boys of Glasgow and saw viod in tho
church mothods of tho day so far as
attracting youths was ooncornod.
Prof. Honry Drummond, tho distinguished
English Scholar, booamo interested
and loanod the great influence
of his personality and ability to ad
vancing the organization
The work sproad with great rapidity
to tho south Scotland, and then
into England and to the world's
latest motropolis London.
The control of the boy in thn Sunday-School
had become a serious problem,
and was folt thoro must be
some agoncy that could be oniployed
to get tho boy's intorost and sympathy.
Tho military caught them at
once by holding his attention. The
cap and havorsaok took his eye. It
made him distinctive from other boys.
Perhaps thore was an oloment of vanity
in the facination, but it was the
kind of vanity that makes a boy or
man take prido in himsolf and makes
manly men. And so tho organization
spread. Strangely enough in invaded
America by the way of
That was about fourteen
years ago, and now it may be -said
to have literally "circled the globe. "
Chicago became its stronghold, and
then Pittsburg, bow one of tho most
enthusiastic .cities in this work,
caught fire. It became tho central
headquarters for the organization in
Amcrioa, and is so today. Thanks
largoly to the intorost of the moneyed
men of that city, The Hoys'
is growing over year aud is destined
to grow.
It was 13 yoars ago that the work
was first inaugurated in 1'lulndelplua
An Isolated company was formed at
the Oxford Prosbyterian Church, and
about the same time Hev. Llewellyn
N. Cnley, of the Protestant Kpisco
pal Church of the Nativity, started a
company in that church. Dr. Caley
has been engaged in the work in
London prior to that, aud came here
fired with enthusiasm. A year later
tho Pennsylvania State organization
was formed in Philadelphia, aud so
it has spread, until today there arc
about (5,000 members of the Hoys'
Hrigade in Pennsylvania' thru tho
official records do not show those figures,
owing to the failure of the individual
srganizations to make careful
reports to the State officers. Hut
thoy are all working along similar
lines and arc spreading the principlos
the Hoys' Hrigade stands for iu
section.
Other statos are progressing equally
as well and now that the organization
has ovcraomc oortain unwarranted
prejudioos of some churches,
groat sucaois is prodicted for it.
Strange to say, a spirit of
iu some churches has and doos
still stand in the way of the Hoys'
Hrigade work. Some preachers, not
understanding or appreciating its
fear it is an oncouragement of
the warlike naturo rather than touching
of the gospol of peace. Others
think the movemeut lacks spirituality
but if they could see the real good
accomplished in tho uplifting of boys
who would nevor otherwise become
interested in churches and Christiau
work, .hey would no doubt hail the
movement as one of the best solu
tions yot diseovored of the preblom tf
saving boys' souls.
One of the loading officors of tho
organization at its recent National
Convention, very aptly summed up
its objects as follows:
"The Hoys' Hrigade is a military
organization to hold the bojs' interest
in the Church by meant of the
military feature. We believe in
doing everything well and a bard a
we know how."
To encourage the boys in living
up to their pledgee, ''service stripes"
are given for two year' faithful service,
instead of for three years, as is
required in the National Guard. In
Pennsylvania Keytone medals are
a No awarded for points of service.
One thousand are necessary to get
the brouzo medals and six years of
service, with 1,000 marks for oaeh,
are rewarded with a silver medal.
The points are givon for regular attendance
at church and Sunday-school
and at drill exercise, etc.
Out in Pittsburg, Company O,
Third Hogimont, which is popularly
known as the -'Hope Company," in
honor of the
Lioutenant General Hope, who formerly
was ite popular captain, has a
membership of 130 boys, and a long
waiting list. The members aro
quirou to report evory urui nigni
aud so anxious aro the boys to retain
their membership iu this company
that thoy novor miss a mooting
unless it is absolutoly impossible to
be present.
There are nineteen oompanios in
tho Third Hogimont. Philadelphia's
lirist Hogimont has" not quite so
many oompanios but they are filling
rapidly and tho Quakor City
to give lier wostoru rival a sharp
race for hor roputatiou.
It's a ploaaure to tell our readers
about a Cough Cure like Dr. Snoop's.
For yoars Dr. Shoop pas fought against
Opium, Chloroform, or other unsafe ingredient
commonly found in Cough
remedied. Dr. Shoop it sooms, has
welcomed the Pure Food and Drug Law
recently enacted, for he has worked
along aimiliar linoa for many yoars.
For nearly 20 years Dr. Shoop's Cough
Cure containers have had a warning
printed on them against Opium and
other narcotic poisions. He has thus
made it possible for mothers to protect
their children by simply insisting on
having Dr. Shoop's Qough Cure. Sold

and at the name time of a strong attempt of women ho
think thomsclvis equally advanced to prerent any such
legislation!
.Men like feminine women, and are very jealous aud grow more ao of
the rights which euslom and the lawa have accorded theto in the past, and
they will not passively -accept any infringement by the weaker aex upon
those rights. The slow but certain advance of woman in every field hitherto
pre-empted by men is recognized and acknowledged. Hut to only a comparatively
small number of women haa beon jiTen the insight into the
future. They are the advance guard, Le pioneers. To them the working
out of a universal suffrage is clear, but they are only a few, and although
earnest and faithful to the cauec. mutt need make haste slowly with quiet
and dignity,
Thoy realize that they must first educate the women to want the suffrage
before they begin the education of men, and unlike the English suffragettes
they aro working quietly but continually. Possibly they realise
that when woman herself is converted to suffrage that will be tho end of the
battle. The pure food bill, child labor laws and other great movementa
prove the extent of woman's power wheu she is really interested. A to the
merits of equal suffrage, can there be any doubt upon the question? The
only wonder is that man the just, man the logical, does not voluntarily
the suffrage, at least upon women who are tax payers; that lie. the
mighty maker of laws, is content to accept money for the purpose of maintaining
the state, county and city without giving the unrecOKuiud but
equally taxed fominine taxpayer a. voice in the selection of the otlkiala who
shall administer the vast sums which she contributes!

The cosmopolitan make-up of America hu made it the toy-land of
the world, not alone in the number but in th variety of toys manufactured.
Gorman-born cliild must have a miniature
For instance, every
Santa Claus; the Italian-born cliild domands a doll dressed as some brave
Paladin, and the English-born child is not content without it Punch
and Judy. ... ,
The native American child, however, imperatively demands novelty
in its toys. Mechanical toys are in greatest demand, and $5,000,000
worth of such toys have boon manufactured in America this yivir.
Christmas is the hardest time in all the year to supply the American
child with toys. On any other anniversary he is willing to accept an
ordinary plaything, but when Christmas comes he domands something
entirely new and surprising. lie cares nothing for lay figures; his dolls
must move or show some kind of action. One little ohnp in one store
exclaimed on looking at some pretty but rather old-fashioned toys:
"Santa Claus didn't finish them; he forgot to put the walk in."
And so it is. Children in America who have arrived at the ago
of five or even four have been so pampered in thoir toys that they demand
that old Canta Claus put tho "walk" in, and it keeps the old
busy iudecd inventing new and catchy playthings.
