Faat la, much aa we thought of our ducheaa, wre didnt really know how good aha wan until we knit her." So apoke a Woodstock uaa te me recently aa we aloud chatting In the Btr inn of that village, and, needles to any. the subject of his oumment was no other than the American Ducheae of Marlborough. She la. or rather atae has been, the Udy Bountiful of Woodstock and 11 the region that surrounds Blenheim palace, the historic seat of the Duke of Marlborough, and little is being talked of In this corner of Oxfordshire exoept the recent sepann-tlo- n between the lord of the manor and his beautiful American wife. Yea, this la Indeed going to be a duleful Christmas la Woodstock village, and the reason la that die gates of Blenheim palace being flowed against her the pride of the Duchess of Marlborough Is going to prevent her from even sending Christ ms gifts to the needy folk who live un her husband's estates. It will lie the first Christina since her marriage that ehe has tailed to do a great deal more then that. In fart, on account of this American woman 'a bounty the good folk of Woodstock hare had a better time at Christmas than those on perhaps any other nobleman s estate in England, und so It I email wonder that, from one end to the other of the Blenheim property, there la e feeling that it la no exaggeration to call dejection, The more so, perhaps, aa the-is small likelihood that the Duke Marlborough, who la planning to spend the holidays at Blenheim, wtll open Ida purae airings to any extent to make a merry ChrLtmas for the old and young folk who Inhabit his broad acres. Nor Is there any chance that the duchess will change her mind, greatly aa ah would like to, no doubt, and distressful aa It must be to her, among her other griefs, to think of her Wood-stoc- k people, as she rails them, doomed to an unhappy Cl.ri.itma for the lack of her bounty. Tut the duche-- s has made up her mind definitely never to set foot In the great seat of the Marlborough unless the present situation la greatly altered, and she told n friend the other day that she would feel like an introduer did she even pay a visit to Woodstock village for the purpose of dhArtbutliuc gifts aiming her bumble worshippers there. Ever since ehe came to Blenheim a bride, and the country folk turned out eu mare to welcome her, a feeling of downright affection has existed between the American ducheaa and the people of the little town. And what aa uncommonly historic place la tMi Old World village of barely 1,SU0 persona! What stories it might tell, for Ituxanre. of the Black Prince, whose birthplace It was, and whose reputed dwelling may still be seen, aa well as of Thomas a Bechet, who was living there when Bret Im quarreled with Henry II. Queen Bene, too, le aald to bare yearned to be n milkmaid during her brief captivity at Woodstock, and many other historic k folk fiunrtfched there, including the "merry devil" vfho played historic praeke on the parliamentary commissioners' In the old manor house, which was pulled down In 1723. Like a true American woman the Duchess of Marlborough took a keen Interest In the historical association of the Woodstock region, but these were always second lu her mind to the needs of the simple country folk themselves And while she devoted natch time end money refurblAlng the ancient seat of the Marlborough, which king years of Impoverishment had left la so utter a stale of neglect, and on the famous American Bower. hick ia the wonder of all the district, she spent still more time and more money among the pnor of her estate, and the whole neigh Imp hood of Woodstock abounds with sheiro of her kindness and her charity. But H has been at Christmas tlmg that the American duch-ea- e of Mrlbomugh has always before been the good genius of old and young alike la Woodstock town and through- hut-hand- 's ly her munificence, and so debarred by her heneiiivene frem helping her in the way of Yuleude entertain-lng- . collages before which her driver was directed U halt. It was always the children of the district, however, who were the special objects of the duchess' kindliness, and besides many gifts to go in their stocking, there was always one or more feasts or treats. as they are called in England, with a Christmas tree at Bleuheiu palace itself. The London press never published any account of iheae charitable doings on the pert of the liuchese of Msrl borough. Only the keel paper of Wood-stoc- k Itself contained a description of the children's "treat" at Blenheim, and this was by the wish of the American peeress, who hsa not cared to be publicly praised for her numerous charities. . She la never satisfied, however, un less some poor folk are benefiting ty fordrhlre people the duchese is devoting herself at present to bringing Christmas cheer to the London alums, under the guidance of her favorite charitable society, the Church army.

It was a gallant raid! Every officer did hi duty right bravely no doubt of it. The only reason that the general in romntand when they were brought before him. did not clap the whole seventeen into by 1 the darkest dungeon of the castle moat, was becue he was a victim The city attorney of circumstances. waa absent.

Seventeen deft right hands were haMlly thrust Into as many pockets and eighty-fiv- e trembling fingers eagerly searched among gold and piece for the required amount. Then wiser, sadder and meeker seventeen filed slowly out. The Mere feature of the officer of the day relaxed. Virtue had triumphed, honor was vindicated aad again right had gained the day. er GENERAL DAGGETTS VIEWS. The Christian Endeavor World haa had a notable scries of articles from the pen of General Daggett on the army canteen. Among many convincing paragraphs are the following: My experience has been-- invariably that discipline haa been more easily maintained with sober thitn with drunken men. and that a much larger per cent are sober wllthout canteen. The country did not prevent the saloons from springing up at Fort Omaha. nor at Bacnor, aa related above. It did not at Fort Dorter, N. Y., and Missoula, Mont., and Logan. Colo.

It came to my knowledge that comofficers, rade. even would take men from the canteen to their quarter drunk, and put them to bed. and allow them to sleep off their stupor, and make no report of It to their company officers. In thin way they avoided court martial; consequently no record waa made. 1 wonder whether the same efforts to avoid making record have been made since the abolition of the ranteen. General Hogget t said that during three years recruiting service he learned that the word army" waa so much associated by the general public with s' rung drink that it was an inducement to the Inebriate and an objection to the sober man to enlist. He also aald that wherever a canteen waa established a drinking eentl-,mewaa cr eared tdtow:t:g it educa- -' five influence; every one. officer and men. lived in n beer atmosphere.

I cannot vouch for the report, though It reschee me on excellent authority, that the duchess to at work on n book. In which she will say something about her experience in London society, and the Impression which It hsa made upon her. Bbe would have, of course the examples of her sister duchesses of Sutherland and of Leeds for precedents, and it la common knowledge that of late yean the tastes of the former Miss Vanderbilt have turned more and more to literature. It was, of course, largely because of her Interest end enthusiasm that Dr. Emil Reich's talks on Plato had so great a social vogue, and the duchess to said to know the Greek philosopher, and the Roman one, Marcus Aurelius, literally from cover to cover. She has, In tact, confessed to her Intimate frlendi that he hsi found much solace during her recent trials in studying the teachings of the great Roman Emperor. cea-tai- - CONDUCTED BY W. C. T.

Well, there to little doubt that the last comment of the king was correct, but it may be questioned if there Is any foundation In fact for a story' that 1s now being told In society as a devotion proof of the young to her husband. According to this story, when tha duchess heard that the duke was going to stay at Sandringham with the king and queen she took rooms as Mr. Burke at a farmers house In the neighborhood, just for the gratification of seeing ride by on the dally shooting excursions. Certain to it that her re t. f of unfinished business and Mill have some business left over. Either there la a great deal of bull-are- a left unfinished or else the public 1 denied the pleasure of hearing "how it came out" by some discriminating reporter. Last year a drastic ordinance concerning Sabbath observance panned Its final reading, and (hen the public heard no more stout It. When an agitation arose over liquor advertising on the sprinkling wagons the city council ordered the advertising removed. This was another piece of business, however, that was never as the advertisements are Mill there. On the plains of Russia, when the wolvea get after a sleigh the occupants throw out articles to delay the pack. Sometimes an article of clothing will suffice.

Sunday theater, public prostitution and gambling are the carefully protected children that have been tucked up snugly In the Ogden municipal sleigh. The article thrown over from the municipal sleight was aa ordinance permitting policemen to search gambling rooms without a warren. It was marked first reading." No doubt the Uv and Order league and all reform organisation have stopped to read this, hut. there 1 no doubt also that they are waiting eagerly for the rest of thp reading. No one but the officials bare ever had any doubts that they were legally uphold In breaking In cloned door's without a warrant, if they bad reason to believe that the tows were being broken, but if this ordinance will render them lose bashful let's have It.

Lady realey, they have already niade n tour of the chief Loudon shops for the phrpuse of selecting their Christmas presents, and I saw them both in Haiuleys the other day, accompanied by an American woman whom I did not recognise. Evidently uncnr.scluu of the dark cloud which la hamsing over their home, they were taking a lively Interest in the latest miniature motjr cars, flying machine and so on, and the small Ivor announced to everyone within hearing that when he was a man he warn (4ng to have a flying machine himself like Santos-DumonThese boys worship their mother, but always have been more or lets afraid- of the duke. that Hope, haa been expressed Chrlstm Day might find this nobleman's- steps leading him toward the stately mansion in Jdeytalr where his wife and small sons will be spending the day; but this ia hardly likely, la spite of many Invitations to pass the Yuletlde at other country' mansions, be has practically decided to hare a few men friends with him at Blenheim. or, if this program be not carried out, to spend the day in London with his cousin, Winston Churchill, who has been bis guide, phlloeopher and friend all through his recent trouble, although not so long ago there was anything but friendly feeling between the two men. . It Is said, by the way. that it was at Winston Churchills suggestion that thi duke recently decided to let Blenheim Palace at the- earliest opportunity, and rumor say. too. that of all the humiliations which- tha Ducheaa of Marlborough haa had to bear since first she decided to break with her husband, this decision of the duke's Is the one that haa cut most deeply. 8he was so proud of Blenheim, and a little proud, too, of the fact that notwithstanding all the vicissitudes of tha Malhorougha in the past, the old pile has never been allowed to pats Into the Philistine hands of a tenant, and it lx especially galling to think that her beautiful private rooms In the palace, which a great French artist came especially from Paris to decorate, may be occupied by tha wife of ome South African millionaire. In fact, immediately on hearing of tha duke'a intention to let Blenheim, the ducheaa gave orders that her boudoir furniture was to he sent to her at- - Sunderland House, and under the direction of a London firm It arrived there last week. There is little doubt that If the Joucheaa could also trans- r port her romantic "American Power-hequaint house with its tiny red barges, and her favorite spots nway from Blenheim Palace and thna prevent them from passing Into the hand of strangers, she would do ao forthwith. Meanwhile, the ducheaa haa already bees made to fell poignantly her position In being .even temporarily separated from her husband. She was nut asked to take any part In the royal festivities In honor of the King and Queen of Norway, and considering came to England haa she been absent f from a great function at Windsor Castle, the blow has been an uncommonly hard one. It appeared especially unjust, too, when the Duke of Mat borough was invited alone to stay at Sandringham fur the king's birthday celebrations, but aa a matter of fact he was there for the express purpose of being "talked to" and advised by the king regarding hla martlmoaial troubles. Oa this occasion the king to reported to have said to the duke: My dear fellow. If yon and the douches do not Join hands again you will both ruin your futures.

Edward VII recalled to Marlborough's mind, too, how the latter's father, the late duke, was practically ignored by society after the divorce proceedings between him and his wife, and the young duke promised to think it over, 'hut added, "You have no idea how exasperating the ducheaa la."

In a month there will be a dleffrent atmosphere, in a year a great change; In five years the army will be revolutionized," FINES. There probably waa a time In the earlier history of American cities when fines were nearly always a distinct punishment. Undoubtedly It was originally Intended that they should be punishment and a deterrent from law breaking. But latterly It haa come alnut in many municipalities that a fine le really a sort of license or more properly speaking, a bribe. Saya the city, through Its officers, to the gamblers, "Give me a part of tlie loot and you may rob that man. To the dram seller, Give me a port of the proceed and you may desecrate the Sabbath." To the debauchee. "Give me my price and you may violate the lawa of purity.' And ao on down through the list until there are only a few laws left that money will not repair when they are broken. The explanation of this aeema to be that the fines are so small that they are no longer prohibitive. Men have learned to calculate beforehand when they wish to violate a law, whether or not they have the price. The pries for each petty crime to so well known that no one haa to ask him neighbor even how much It will coet to break the law. This system le all wrong, viewed from either a financial or moral standpoint. The collection of theee fines ireeupposed to reduce taxes and materially aid In paying the expenses of a city. Aa a matter of fact they do nothing of the kind. The encouragement to crime that this system of small fines gives render necessary extra policing and a more expensive Judiciary, which more than balances the money received. From a moral standpoint It U all wrong to sell our brothers into bondage for any price. After all. Judar may have made better bargain when be sold hi Master to hi enemies than, the modern city does when it aCUa hla brother man.

Noi In the rente way, for the past can always he better' atoned for by llTlng right than hy dying wrong.' Let u go back to the days when fines were so nrohinitive that they usually meant a jail sentence. Then and not till then men will hesitate to break the laws. There la no danger of such a course Increasing taxes, hut If It did. where does our city lie. In encouraging crime or dis. couraging it? Ash Christian natl-mvie ought in ret a safe example, on this und all other questions. Nothing LIQUOR MEN PLAN ASSAULT. The liquor men are planning iheir annual assault on the nation's lawmakers. and getting ready to fight all temperance measures that may be Introduced Into congress or In the state legislatures. President Dolan, of the National Liquor league, aalm among other things at their national convention: Candidates for political preferment are keenly alive to the necessity of securing a united support from the liquor trade, for which they should give dlMtlnct pledges that no fonn or class of legislation will be enacted which discriminates against ns aa part of the business community." He also aald that there wu little doubt that the liquor Interests would be able to gain the repeal of the "infamous canteen lew at the coming aeaeion of congress, lit seems a little odd that they should deulre thU repeal if more liquor la sold to the soldiers under the present law then formerly, as some people eaaert). Mr. Dolan continued: "During the past year we have been working quietly and in most Instance! with the utmost secrecy, to secure certain privileges, concessions end remedial legislation; also to defoat such measures a were regarded aa antagonistic and harmful, and, I am pleased to state, we have met with- - a reasonable degree of aucceea. Among the resolutions adopted at the convention of the National Liquor leave, waa the following; Resolved, That the continuous vigilance of the legislative committee of the several state associations In watching an,l defending our interests at their respective cap! tale, are deserving of the highest credit and they are to lie sincerely congratulated on the skill and ability displayed In their fights for the perpetuity of Ute llnuor industry." Ah, now, we understand, we understand why some of our prominent liquor dealer attend the Utah state legislature each year, almost as carefully as If regularly elected to that august body. THE "WOE OF THE DRINK SELLER." Second. Woe unto them that are "men of strength to mingle strong drink. But, saya one, dues not this mean the same person? Not necessarily. Many sell who will not drink' and many drink who would acorn to aell.
