SONS OF TEMPERANCE COLUMN.
iy Grand Division Editor,
G. W. P.—John Anderson, Kensington. G. Scribe—Jesse 8. Burns, Lower Free- town.
OUR AIM, To revene the drunkard and save the country from the rum curse. OUR PLEDGE.
No member shall make, buy, sell or use as a beverage any spirituous or malt liquors, wine or cider, or even
table beer. OUR PRINCIPLES. Love, Purity and Fidelity. The members of the Order intend to take
part in the parade on the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee. Members of country Divisions are requested to come in and participate.
Bring your regalias with you. Brothers and sisters are all invited. Further information shortly. J.J. Chappelle is our member on the general committee. He can tell you what to do and where to come.
The Temperance Alliance of this city met a few days ago, and discussed a com- wuvication from F, 8. Spence on the
question of the plebiecite, and resolutions
were pissed appointing a committee to draft and forward a telegram to the government protesting against the direct
taxation rider to the bill. The general impression is that if the question comes in this twofold manner that the temperance people will refuse to vote not considering it to be our quee- tion at all. There is no desire to not help bear the burden from the reduced revenue if needed, but the majority would get a wrong tea of the question and defeat the probibition clause. The alliance feel with the G. U. M., that given a sober people it will be easy to find the revenue.
The committee appointed by Grand Division to write a letter of condolence to the family of our late Brother Morrison, met a few weeks ago and proceeded to the residence of the widow aud family and preseated a very suitable letter, which was very fcelingly replied to by a son of the deceased.
The procuring of matter for the purpose of writing a suitable obituary of our Brother for the Grand Division reveals the necessity of keeping the dates of joining in such a way that when we are called away our friends may be able to give, as im the above case, all the dates and the points of public importance in connection with our temperance life.
The names of the members of the old Prince Edward Division with the dates of joining, were printed at the back of the constitution. Did our fathers have more money to spend on such matters,or are we more penurious,or less interested ?
At a visit of the G. C. T. tothe Char- lottetown Lodges I. U. G.T., he made a remark regarding a new lodge organized west of Summerside, that it was remark- able for ite senior members. Our too frequent experience in the Sons is that our Division rooms are remarkabie for the absence of senior members.
Our fathers in the work must not think that this great cause can be totaily run by the boys and girls. The ripe experience of those who have “borne the heat and burden of the day” is essential to the best results in temperance work. The wisdom of the sage, with the strongarm and vitality of youth, makes a division whi accow plishes much for temperance the cou;munity in which we live.
Some are asking what has become of the Scott Act petition sent to Ottawa. Echo answers ‘What? ” And still] the sale goes on, to the disgrace of our fair city and the reeling filthy drunkara is found on the streets alm st at all bours.
We would again remind the members of our order that this column can only be made interes\ing by each one doing his or her best in sending items of interest. Let us hear how our cause speeds on its way.
Experience Has Proved it,
A triumph in medicine was atained when experience proved that Scott’s Emul- sion would not only stop the progress of Pulmouary Consumption, but by its con- tinued n-e-. health and vigor could be fuily restored.

THE DAILY EXAMINER, CHARLOTTETOWN, MAY 28, 1597
LOST IN NEW YORK.
BEHAVIOR OF THE POLICEMAN, THE BOY ANDO THE SPECTATORS,
One Occasion When Human Nature Over. came the Indifference of Crowds In the Streets—Effect of a Little Stray Upon Women Shopping.
**As a genoral thing,’’ caid the western woman, ‘‘I would croes the street rather than pass one of your New York crowds, Imean those crowds that seem to gather as if by magic when there is an accident, or a fight, or a horse down, or an arrest, or any one of a dozen things which are al- ways happening here.
‘‘Somehow it always makes me miscer- able. I think about Oshkosh, and of how we have neighbors out there and care what happens to each other. Did you ever look at the people in these groups? They are as unmoved as the old granite blocks with which you pave your streets. They make me shiver, those men and boys, pushing and gaping in a curious circle at some one who has just been mangled by a cable car. They are as coldly observant as if they were secondhand dealers sizing up your old furniture. If there is a good deal of blood, their eyes shine. If it’s just a case of heart disease, or a simple illness, they go on, as apathetic as ever. Generally they make a grim joke and then forget the whole affair.
“A fight produces a different sort of crowd. But I don’t like it any better. The men are more attentive then. They smile too. Laugh if things get hot enough; are visibly sorry when the policeman arrives, and then—go on, as apathetic as ever.
“The women, too, haunt me. They don’t always stop and join the crowd, but pass with a look of indifferent curiosity, too accustomed to such things to beim- pressed. I hate them!’’ said the western woman vigorously.
‘**But the other day,’’ she went on, her expression softening, ‘‘I saw a different crowd, and I suppose it was as typically a New York one as any of the others. It was at the cornerof Fifth avenue and Fourteenth street. I saw this gathering of people as I caine down the avenue, and my first impulse was to cross the street and avoid it. But, do you know, there was something queer about it—something that impressed me when I was almost a block away?
“It wasn’t a compact crowd, such as you generally see. It was more indecisive ard wavering. People would go a few steps, then turn to look back. Sometimes they went fully 20 feet and then went back again. As I got nearer I saw that most of them were women. That in itself distin- guished it from the ordinary crowd. Peo- ple were locking down toward the side- walk, and at first I thought that the at- traction was merely some amusing me- chanical toy. But when I saw the faces, I knew I was wrong. Many of them were smiling, but net with amusement. Ter- derness, pity, gentleness, reassurance, that was what I read in the faces, and it puz- zled me tremendously until I saw a police- man standing in the center of the crowd.
“Then it dawned on me in a flash. There was alostchild. That explained ev- erything—the consideration of the crowd, which forbore to press too closely about the frightened little stray; the sympathy which dragged them back to it as if by a strong undercurrent; the smiles, half tender and half reassuring, with which some of them had spoken to it encourag- ingly. I watched the faces in the crowd, and for once I found human nature the same as I have known it where you don’t haye to scrape off the varnish of indiffer- ence in order to see what is underneath. The eyes of the women softened. Some of them pushed their hands up under their spotted veils and brushed the tears away. Their mouths, those tired, irritated, un- loving and unlovable mouths, which I eali ‘the shopping district mouth,’ relaxed and curved into softer lircs. Their whole face seemed to be remolded by the force of some inner feeling, and a different soul than that of the bargain hunter looked out of their eves.
“I don’t think that half of them saw
Nervous
People find just the help they so much
need, in Hood’s Sarsaparilia. It fur- nishes the desired strength by puri- fying, vitalizing and enriching the blood, and thus builds up the nerves, tones the stomach and regulates the whole system. Read this:
“J want to praise Hood’s Sarsaparilla. My health run down, and I had the grip. After that, my heart and nervous system were badly affected, so that I could not do my own work. Our physician gave me some help, but did not cure. I decided to try Hood’s Sarsaparilla. Soon I could do all my own housework. I have taken
Cured
Hood’s Pills with Hood’s Sarsaparilla, and they have done me much good. I will not be withoutthem. I have taken 13 bottles of Heod’s Sarsaparilla,and through the blessing of God, it has cured me. I worked as hard as ever the past sum- mer, and I am thankful to say I am well. Hood’s Pills when taken with Hood’s Sarsaparilla help very much.” Mrs. M. M. MESSENGER, Freehold, Penn.

tre child who really stood there, nis littie grimy hand in tho policeman’s protecting palm. That child wore a blue and white sailor suit, and his hair was red. But I looked into the women’s eyes and I saw far different things. I saw a toddling 2-year-old in a sheer white muslin frock, and its hair wasn't red, but golden. And I saw a sturdy little chap in trousere— such tight trousers and such fat little legs —and his hair was soft and brown. I saw a curly head lying on a pillow and two tiny hands crossed on the little breast, and they were strangely still, But then I looked into that woman's eyes only through the tears which blinded her.
‘*Well,’’ said the western woman, with an apparent mental shake, ‘‘you see how different it was. I hadn’t happened to see a lost child before, and it was a revelation te me. The little fellow himself made my heart big with admiration. He was so plucky, so reserved in his trouble, so dig- nified under the most trying scrutiny. Hoe did not wail as most children would have done. I don’t think he ever shed a tear. He kept his little lips pressed grimly to- gether and said never a word except when some one speke to him. Then he answered briefly, and his eyes pathetically searched the face before him for a ray of hope. When they gave him candy instead of hope, he accepted it witha grave ‘Thank you!’ but he did not eat it, and he showed that he found the denouement disappoint- ing.
‘*The policeman was not the least inter- esting person in the group. I have always found the New York policemen kind enough, but in a blase and cynical fashion. If I were analyzing their character, take it on the average, I shouldn’t think of in- cluding sympathy among their predomi- nant qualities. They accept most events with the stolidity of long custom. They are as little affected by any ordinary accident asa hard drinker would be by a thimble- fulof beer. And that is the reason why this policeman interested me almost as much as the crowd did. He was gentle, serious, sympathetic. He did not say much to the child, and that showed his penetra- tion. But there was something in the clasp of those two hands, the one so small and helpless, the other big and protecting, but no braver than the little one, which pleased me. Occasionally the two ex- changed a glance. They were only a New York policeman and a little, redheaded lost child. But, I tell you, there were two immortal qualities in that glance—forti- tude and sympathy! Are you laughing? Oh, very well!’’ And the western woman shrugged her shoulders and changed the subject.—New York Sun.

WHAT WOMEN WEAR,
Among the popular belt buckles are those of oxidised silver with jewels,
Veils to be fashionable must be plain, the simple length of soft Brussels net being one of the most approved.
Acorn colored hat with black lace trimming is pretty, also the same color- ed hat with a very full wreath of blue corn flowers.
Skirts are very full at the back and are gathered over cords and drawn close- ly, so that the back shows a pointed de- sign of one cord above ancther.
Artificial flowers are extravagantly beautiful. They are exceedingly natural and very rich looking, and if one buys good ones they last a long time.
Novelty bats are shown in braids of every imaginable color. Red is exceed- ingly popular and when trimmed with a profusion of soft black lace or chiffon is one of the most stylish of the mil- liner’s creations.
The surplice front is gaining in favor, and when carefully adjusted is becom- ing to almost all figures. For stout ladies it seems to reduce the bulk, while for slender ones it can be left slightly loose and is very pretty and graceful.
The decline of the shoulder cape is gaid to be assured. How true this may be one can scarcely state authoritatively, but from all appearances this form of garment is too useful and has made too many friends to be given up very soon.
Soft belts of silk er velvet are used, and to these some of the rich buckles are fastened. One of the novelties is a belt of yellow velvet with three very elegant cut jet buckles, one in front and one on either side. At the back there isa large rosette bew of leather.
A very handsome hat has a wide, flat brim rolled up .at the back. The trim- ming is a wreath of enormous peonies in silk and velvet. At one side of the back of the hat is an upright bow of chiffon and velvet, held in place by ro- settes of crimped chiffon and velvet loops. —New York Ledger.
