R M! M us ?JW . m i um 11 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.

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!

U..lalmn in fhlC PMtnl 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.
