TO DISCOURAGE PROFANITY.
Havel bill. .Mass., is headquarters
for a unique organization which has
tor Its sole purpose Die suppression
of profanity ami the cultivation of a
wholesome aihhorreiico of cursing in
all its forms. In P.'OI a crusade in
one of the Massachusetts cities re?
sulted in the formal ion of Hie An?
il Profanity League, by Rev. Roland
D. Sawyer. The idea was quickly
indorsed by ministers ami laymen,
and within one year I he league had
been established in 40 Slates and in
various other parts of Hid world.
Rev. Dr. .lohn L. Wlihravv Is ils
president.
The league aims to create public
sentiment ngnlmd. the use of profan?
ity by Um distribution of literature,
agitation by pulpit ami press, en?
forcement and encouragement iif
anti-profanity legislation and by Iho
organization of local leagues.
One of ils unique features Is the
distribution of "curse card-;" by mem?
ber.-; in the order to rebuke specific
outbursts of profanity. These primed
cards bear senliineui : suitable lo any
occasion that may arise, and the
league members feel lien in hand
them oid, even til tines when a verbal
rebuke nilglil resell in disaster I.)
the reformer. Samples of these cards

An Anll-Profanlty League ought to
find ahuildaill even:,, for existence
in Newport News. Despite the fad
that there are laws against profane
swearing, even ladies au.I ministers
Of I be gpSpel Hi e mil exempt fl'Olll
the almost universal custom of hear?
ing profanity which seems 1,1 prevail
among some men in this city who
otherwise are gentlemen.
WHEN A POOR MEMORY BE
COMES A VALUABLE ASSET.
Rev. W. G. Starr, I>. I)., oi.f the
iuiOSt eloquent ministers in the .Meth?
odist Conference of Virginia, i.-; wont
lo say that ihn Lord blessed him
with a poor memory, justifying that
view of what many persons regard?
ing misfortsne by saying thai it
caused bim tri Cist rust his memory
ami made him verify his fads before
presenting tiiem Iii public addresses.
Some of I be gentlemen who are
now appealing helot* the Inlor-Sthto
Commerce Commission in its efforts
to unravel the conned inn between
railroad officials who own mining
Slock, might justify a similar view
of tln? blessedness of poor memories
for an entirely different reason.
For Instance, at a recent bearing
befo# the- commission, Mr. F. L.
Shentm, fc?SWff?; flQpfljht enden t of
the United Ilailw^^T New Jsrsey,
declared tlint he did not remember
how he go! hold of so much milling
stock. With convenient memory, he
admitted that he had bought some,
lie ndmilted Mull last year ho had
been given 12 checks from railroad,
mining ami coal HClliiig rompanios.
He didn't Know why thoy were given
III III. lie -aid In- had declined to re?
ceive some coal stock which had
1.n offered to him because lie
didn't Ihluk ii was any good.
Ii will he noted that .Mr. Rhonard
had no difficulty in rcmcmhcrliif
?vhy he declined the slock which lit
regarded aw Worthless. Perhaps if
Hie eoinnilssioii would cross examine
tie- dir? ! tors of the companies which
were so generous Willi lie1 stock of
Heir companies Hie forget fulness
might not extend thai far. In any
event, it would he worth n trial.
ONE VICTORY FOR THE PEOPLE. I
Senator Aldricli widely known as
the loyal representative of tin- Slau
dard Oil company and allied interests
in the Senate, was unable to prevent
the pa snge of the House lull remov?
ing the internal revenue lax from
denatured alcohol used in arls rind
industries, although he bent every
energy to accomplish the defeat of a
measure whicli threatens compel itiou
to Hie monopoly of the falber of bis
son-ill law.
Tie- Rhode Island seniilor was not
as trank as Senator Plait, of New
York, who has been quoted as saying
thai he would continue to exert all
of Hie influence at Iiis command In
defeat the parcels post hill, because
it would interfere with the business
of certain express companies in which
lie holds stock. In fad. frankness I?
Hol one of the distinguishing charac?
teristics of Mr. Aldricli. instead or
opposing the hoe alcohol hill on Hie
ground that II would Interfere with
I lie business of Standard Oil, be sud?
denly ncqillred a yearning desire to
protect the manufacturers of wood al?
cohol from I be blighting competition
whicli would follow the passage of
Hie measure as il came from the.
House, lie did not inform his col?
leagues thai just a day or two ago
he railed to show consideration for
American shipbuilders when he ask
od for immediate consideration of '<
resolution instructing the President
to accept I In - competing hid of a
Scottish firm for certain steel dredge.^
desired by the government for use in
the construction of the Panama canal.
H is encouraging to note, however,
that the Standard oil concern could
mil muster enough votes in Hie
Senate to either kill or sidetrack the
hill. The measure received almost
universal endorsement ami sonn? nf
the most hard-shelled members of
ihn millionaires' elllb seem to have
been reached by I he popular demand
for the removal of the intcrr.nl rev?
enue tax on denatured alcohol. One
of the possible results of the measur.-,
which will go into effect January I,
1907, will he lo place the Standard
Oil company in a less commanding
position, since the manufacture of al?
cohol and compliance with I he law
would he far from difficult and would
offer attractive Inducements with oil
even at its present. Ilgures. 1| cer?
tainly will prevent Mr. Rockefeller
from making contributions to char?
itable objects and taking il out of
the public by raising the price of
oil. Hereafter lie will have to give
Iiis own money.
GOING AFTER QUIBBLERS.
If there ever was a linn- when
quibbles ami technicalities should
have been overlooked by lire insur?
ance companies il was in the ease of
the unfortunates who lost their prop?
erty in the liriiiidfui rite fallowing the
San Francisco earthquake. Many of
the companies involved IlllVe decided
lo make sell lenient.s al I lie earliest
possible moment ami to waive all the
technicalities by which the average
insurance policy is surrounded. Those
companies which lake an opposite
course undoubtedly will suffer a more
severe loss in the end than they would
have felt bad they cheerfully should?
ered their legitimate share of the fire
destruction of the Hold, n Halo City,
for they certainly will lose an im?
mense iiniduiil of business when their
action is branded, as if should he, and
their names are sent forth lo the
world.
There is also danger of loss from
hoot her direction, There may bo re?
prisals. In fact. Male Comptroller
Samuel P. Davis, of Nevada, has al?
ready placed hi nisei f on record in re?
gard lo I be subject, as follows:
"I understand that some of the
Kastcrn and foreign companies iire
proposing to crawl behind technicali?
ties in the matter of adjusting losses
in San Francisco; thai where houses
were dynamited lo slay the progress
(d the flames--bouses which, in the
natural course of events, would have
been swept away by the fire in a few
minutes later?they will refuse lo pay
the insurance.
"Now it appears to me Hint the act
of ties!roving these buildings was
alone what saved the rest of the city
from total destruction, and no doubt
protected these companies from
further Ions. If this saving of addi
I tional losses to these companies Is to
ho iiiado a pretext on Iheir part In
evade their just obligations in settle
Intent or iholr San Francisco liabilities,
it is prlina facie evidence to me dial
i lie companies resoi l iuc, 10 these loch
niealities are dishonest, and on a
proper showing of I hose fads I will
revoke their lieenses in Nevada."
The authorities of other states
might very properly follow the ex?
ample of Comptroller Davis. The
qiiihhlcr.s should he marked so thai
men who are looking for real fire pro?
tection may steer clear of I hem.
A school census enumerator in Chi?
cago worked two hours at the task
assigned lo r. wrote one name and
earned one cent. She spent Die lime
in going through a 1'nshtoiinhlc apart?
ment building, ami in all I lie I apart
Plenty there was not to he found one
child. It was the janitor who saved
? he day for her and made possible
Hie collection id' one cent. She might
have known heller Ihau In have com:
nosing arouml the apartments. She
should have gone to the janitor first.
Ii is his main husilii s to keep dill
dr.in of i he houses under his ear.'.
How he i an alone for his own lapse
is more than we- can understand.
"What?" gasped furnier Senator]
Chandler in a conversation with a re?
porter; "Do you cxpeel me to call
Senator Tillinnn a liar?" (if coiirso
not; only one man ever tried thai
out in the open and he rccoivbii a
Slinging blow ami had lo apologize
lor bis language as well.
The sleel trust generously ?fters J
lo give the rebiiilders of San Frilii
I'isco unlimited credit. now that
Congress lias given the combine un?
limited power in make whatever
price is d< ( llied advisable.
"I laleloqull it'' is the name adopt?
ed by a private boarding house down
near Cape May. It may be that when
the boarder receives' bis bill he
Ikillks he ought to : lay ami own the
boil: e.
Tbl- price of g.-i olilie has been ad?
vanced. The gooil and greal Mr.
Rockefeller soon will be able to de?
clare a dividend on bis gill tu the
San Francisco sufferers.
The Southern Methodists probably
found it easier lo "warm up" lo the
vice-president's proposition than lo
gel next to thai calm and collected
individual himself.

Lapp who owns a thousand deer Is a
very rich man: bul, as taxes arc as?
sessed upon (be number of deer, he Is
Inclined to underestimate his herd.
The must dangerous enemy to the herd
Is the wolf. who. If so disposed, can
kill thirty deer in 11 night. A band of
wolves can make a rich Lapp pour.
When the snow Is deep and soft and
11 Is announced thai wolf tracks have
been seen in the neighborhood of the
ib er i!ie swlflesi runners on snow
shoes prepare for an exciting chase.
The wolf may have a start of a mile
or two. but the track It leaves In the
deep, soft snow is so prominent that
Hie hunters can follow it at their best
Speed.
The wolf, though he may run fast,
has but slight chance of escaping the
short men who on snowslioes rush
through the wood, dart down steep
hills and .lump from ledges several
yards In height. Euch bunter does his
best to outrun the others, for Hie wolf
belongs to the Ltinp who strikes the
lirsl blow. As soon as the lending
hunter is close enough to (lie wolf he
gives it a heavy blow across the loins
wllh his strung spiked snowshoc staff.
If there are other wolves to be pur?

disables it and wails till all the hunt?
ers arrive before giving the death
