But" they persisted, I'VE do not ask
for your time, but only your name. and
the use of your name to us will be worth

ever. accede to their request. l had no
inclination to engage with them in the
pursuit of banking, because it was out
side of my line, and having more than
enough money to meet my modest neces'
sites, and without a child in the world,
l did not feel like taking 100000 each
year for doing nothing to earn it.
The great trouble with mankind is to
stick to that pursuit of which they have
knowledge. Some men get strangely
mixed up. l happen to know a banker
in this town, with good general informa.

Yet he plods along in his line, acquiring

evidence on the trial showed that hi,
burglary consisted in cutting a hole

II WAS claimed by his counsel that.
inasmuch a. lac eve actually entered
into the tent with his whole body. he
had not committed the oTeuse charged.
AMI must therefore be- discharged.
Judge Kent, in reply 20 thi. plea
told the jury that IF they were not
satisfied that the whole man was in
voived IN the crime they might bring
IN a verdict Of guilty against So much
Of him as was thus involved.

European civilization today is based
on the idea that war is not only an i'm
minent possibility, but a probability,
and a great class in every country has
been trained to look upon bloodshed-
ding as its proper vocation. The great
prizes are reserved for soldiers; honors,
fame, position and the monarch's favor
90 to the sons of Mars. The military
budget exceeds, many times Over does
It exceed, the appropriations for public
instruction. The salary of a colonel is
earned by but few professors. The
cost of the powder and shot wasted in
Europe between any dawn and dusk
would probably pay the running eX-
penses of all her public hospitals. In
each government, whether it be consti-
tutional or autocratic, the army may,
with truth, be said to direct legislation,
for the legislatures, willingly or unwill-
ingly, vote the appropriations demand
