ITO BE Continued

On the evening of Feb. 20 the friends
and neighbors of Ex-Governor st. John
completely surprised him by gathering
at his pleasant home to celebrate his
fifty-seventh birthday, and to give the
lie to false statement that prejudiced
press have published broadcast-that he
is not honored and respected in his own
home. Men of all political faiths and of
various religious opinions; men who
have known Governor st. John through
all these years through which he has
been honored in turn and maligned in
turn, united in testifying that never for
one moment had they doubted his sin.
cerity of purpose and the purity of his
motives in every action of his life.
Governor st. John has been the CEN
trail figure of many prominent assem-
blages in this land; but, whether taking
the oath of office as chief magistrate of
this great commonwealth, whether WELD
ing the gavel as chairman of the greatest
national convention ever held, or stand
ing before assembled thousands swaying
them with his matchless eloquence, never
looked happier than he did last evening,
surrounded by the friends who have
stood by him through thick and thin,
and receiving their congratulations and
best wishes. After an excellent dinner
had been served, Maj. Pickering, the
governors old law partner, called the
"boys' to order and number of short
toasts were responded to. Among them
was the following poem written by Ros.
coe A. Williams, q strong Republican of
Ola.he, dedicated to Governor st. John
on his fifty seventh birthday:
welcome your neighbors extend you tonight,
For the years seven-and-fifty have taken ther
flight
Since first was recorded the date of your birth
The fulness of manhood has proven your worth.
The sound of your voice has been raised against
treason;
Instead of mems passions you appeal to their
reason.
May your dreams and ambitions all reach fruition
And the power of its glory raise mans condition.
When the river of rum and the death it is sowing
Is dried at its source and ceases its flowing,
Your sacrifice then will justly be measured,
And by generations to come will justly be treas
ured.

tinguishable from the foliage in
the background. At the door
of each hut stood sentinel
armed with the same kind of curved
sword as had been used by the execu-
TONERS on board the junk. A smoothly
beaten path divided the village of tents,
and along this the little party passed.
At every tent the Chief halted long
enough to whisper talismanic word to
the silent sentinel, and to make pc
culiar sign.
When the end of the path was reached
the Chief halted, and taking long
strip of silk wound it round and round
the eyes of Sho Mai till not a ray of
light could reach her. Then one of the
stalwart sailors grasped her firmly by
the arm and guided her stumbling feet
down strange path that seemed to lead
into the bowels of the earth. There
were curves and corners in this road,
and steps which led now up, now down,
till the mind of the pursuer was in hope
less confusion as to the direction, the
distance and the depth.
Suddenly she heard a great noise, as
if a thousand men had all at once broken
into cheers; and, as if it were signal,
the bandage was removed from her eyes.
A blaze OF light succeeded the gloom in
which she had walked, and she stood
dazzled by the rays of thousand lamps
which filled the room with the glory of
the midday sun. Straight before her
rose throne glittering with gold and
gems, and towering almost to the cell
ing of the lofty apartment. Thanked
about the throne were soldiers of extra
ordinary size, wearing blouses of steel
mail. All this the girl saw at glance,
and then the Chief led her before the
throne.
"Kneel, slave" he whispered, and
bore her to the earth with the weight
of his hand till her forehead was pressed
against the cold marble tiles.
"Oh, King, most noble Kwan Dab,
mighty ruler over humble servants" !"
said the Chief, 81 bring good news from
the sea to this, thy throne. OF mer-
chandise plenty, and of teal also
plenty. Not one of thy warriors has
assembled to the sky, nor has one suf-
fered serious hurt. l bring to you, oh!
mighty Kwan Dab, Han Chow youth
whose beauty and courage have saved
him from the God of tho Ocoa,l."
"Bid the youth arise" said Kwan
Dab.
Sho Mai stood up and locke steadily
at the pirate king, the terror of
bravo nation. She saw man, stout
almost to obesity, whose sixty years sat
| lightly upon his massive head. A
blouse of geld links, cunningly inter-
woven, covered his chest and arms, and
long, grayish mustachc dropped down
on either side of sensual mouth. His
face was painted in stripes of as many

A JUST CRITICISM.

Joseph Cook Points Out the Vital1y Weak
P,,int i'll Nationalism.
Nationalism, as presented in Mr.. Bel
lamy's celebrated work, appears to me to

of iron, and head of brass, and crutches

sorry to see that the statue has a cigar in
its lips and wine cup in its right hand.
Even in the Twentieth century ladies
have to leave dining rooms in order that
gentlemen may fill the apartments with
smudge. Mrs. Hunt tells us that twenty
seven states of the American Union, be-
sides all the schools under the control of
the national government, are now un-
der laws making scientific temperance
education compulsory. Great publishing
houses like Appleton 6 Co., Ivison,
Brakeman & Co., Van Antwerp, Bragg &c
Co. compete with each other in furnish
ing graded text books for these schools.
Now, all these text books, as l happen to
know, and as one or two gentlemen on
this platform know very we'll from pro-
longed attention to them, inculcate total
abstinence from alcoholics and all other
narcotics, including tobacco.
A teacher should bring his example up
to the level of his precept. His precept
now must be brought up to the level of
total abstinence. If, therefore, school
teacher should not set bad example
then, for stronger reasons, a minister
should not. According to Mr. Bellamy's
book, society in the year 1000 has
not learned what is now taught in the
name of science. am deliberate in thus
criticising one of two evils in Mr.. Bel
lamy's social code. l suppose he is de-
iberate in calling the evils merits. He
says that in the society of the year 1000
the people will not permit government
to tell them what they shall eat, wear or
drink, and SO suppose saloons are to be
nationalized That will make this wheel
barrow a very dizzy affair. This is an
integral part of The scheme of Mr. Bel
lamy's book.
Is this statue, with its feet of clay and
limbs of iron, and forehead of brass and
crutches of splintered reeds-I mean by
the crutches the political parties that are
to rule under Nationalism-and with a
cigar in its lips and a wine cup in its
right hand, is this the angel that is to
lead us into the millennium? l think
not. But because the figure has golden
heart l mean to speak of it with brother
ly respect. Joseph Cook.

sort of comradeship with one u the
sailors, who told her such facts about the
island as have already been given. Sho
| Mai questioned him eagerly about Ii Xii,
but he could remember no such person
and the girl began to feel sure that her
| lover had escaped.
"Why was my life spared?" she asked
the sailor. sThe others who were Sc
lected were strong men,"
"The others were picked out for their
strength" replied the sailor. "They
| will be made slaves. You will be taken
into the presence of Kwan Dab, and if
he sees fit you will become a member of
the colony. 1t is the custom to recruit
our forces from such youths among our
captives as give promise of exemplary
courage. But do not congratulate your
self yet. If Kwan Dab is not pleased
with you, why" and the sailor made
an expressive and horrible gesture as of
one who waves sword in the air.
| Near the evening of the following
| day the junk anchored in the lee of
some great rocks near the mysterious
| island. When the sail had been furled
| Sho Mai was summoned to the presence
of the Chief. He spoke not a word, but
pointed over the side of the vessel to
where small boat lay riding on the
swell. Four sailors with oars poised
in air were waiting to row the boat
to the island. The girl climbed down
the ladder, stepped into the boat and
took a seat in the stern. She was fol-
lowed an instant later by the Chief, who
sat beside her.
''To the Shore" he said, briefly; and,
| dipping their oars, the men gave way
with a will A landing was made in
strangely-hidden inlet which looked as
if it had been cut by the labor of men
in the solid rock. The Chief, Sho Mai
and two sailors followed narrow trail
until they came to a little clearing in
the forest. Here were a number of
small huts made of skins, and so clever
ly painted that they were hardly dis

death by the sword of the pirate
clan," chanted the assemblage.
"You hear" continued the speaker.
''Now act, and may you prove yourself
worthy the name and sword Of
Toyhai." Then addressing two men
who stood on the opposite side of the
chamber: "You know your duty"
At this the two pulled back the folds
of a double curtain, which concealed an
even more brightly than the chamber
itself. Against the rear wall of the al
cove stood a man perfectly erect. A
thin band of steel held his head in posi-
ton, and bands of like metal encircied
his neck, waist, ankles and wrists. His
hands were stretched well out and his
feet were we'll apart. Such look of
agony upon a human face the girl
had never dreamed of. The eye-balls
rolled round and round in their sockets
as if they had never known rest or quiet;
the lips twitched and trembled, and a
spot of blood on the neither lip marked
the place where a tooth had penetrated
the flesh, while the hands alternately
clenched themselves and unfolded.
There is traitrous heart, if ever one
beat in the bosom of a man. He is not
fit to live. My brother, do you find out
his vital spot with that true and thrice
blessed blade and show how Toyhai
treats the enemies of Kwan Dah."
The mixture of the wine and blood
the girl had drank seemed to have filled
her with fire, and her blood went cours-
ing so quickly through the veins that

Unproductive Labor.

Adam Smith says: 1.-The labor en-
ployed in producing strong drink-in
the growth of grain, in preparing it
for destruction, in brewing and distill-
ing; in short, in the entire manufacture,
carriage and sale of these liquors-is ut
terly unproductive. 1t is wholly unpro-
ductive of the things which can be just
ly called wealth. The labor expended on
them adds nothing to the wealth of the
community, to the means of subsistence.

on the contrary, it produces what is posi-
lively injurious to all the interests of hui
manity."

Prohibition in Vermont.

The Burlington (Vt) Free Press says:
THE newspapers of the state are facing
the music on the temperance question in
a manner that is very encouraging to
the friends of the present law. They do
not argue that the present law is perfect,
or that it has always been perfectly en-
forced, but they are united in the belief
tlat the pi ohibitory law of Vermont is
the most effective method of restricting
the drink traffic ever tried in this state,
and they are ready to defend that belief
and to defend the law"

colors as the rainbow, but he did not
need this savage decoration to make his
aspect terrible. But Sho Mai had
learned not to shrink from the face of
danger, and she fixed her eyes upon the
fearful being steadily. He looked
straight into her eyes for a moment,
and then said to the Chief: "Your
words are true and I commend your
judgment for sparing so promising a
youth. He will make an acceptable ad-
dition to our community"
Then, turning to an officer who stood
next the throne upon the right side, he
continued: "Yee Chan, give the young

became so impressed with the evils of in
