stubborn Advocates OF snhsid,es.


BY way of sustaining its difficult position
in favor of ship subsidies the Boston Jour
nal seems to be no little delighted by the
discovery that the North German LLOYD
steamship line, which declared a dividend
of per cent. last year, had subsidy from
the German government amounting to a
million dollars for the East Indian branch
of its service. Because of this the Journal
manifestly attempts to convey the impress
sion that the dividend was in large meas
ure, if not wholly, due to the subsidy.
As matter of fact the dividend came
rather in spite of the subsidized branch
than by its aid. Instead of deriving any
profit from the subsidized part of its line
the company sustained an actual loss last
year amounting to $3.50, 900 in that depart
ment of its business.
The part of the company's line which
pays a good profit and makes good
the LOSSES on the disastrous East Indian
venture is that running to the United
States, which is without penny of subsidy.
1t does business in the usual ways of bust
ness and relies upon natural growth and
visible possibilities only, instead of attempt
ing to force traffic where there ia noEe by
the foolish method Of pouring gold into
vast vacuum. Yet those whose prejudices
or personal interests favor the subsidy plan

How To Receive Gifts.

At the holiday season the giving of
gifts is prevalent. Now, everybody
can give sweetly, graciously and low
ingly. How many can accept in the
same spirit? ] felt last year that
there was thread of coarseness in
the girl who, looking at fine book
that had been sent her by a friend,
said "Oh, dear, l suppose l shall
have to get her something in return
for it." That's barter and exchange.
1t isn't giving. Nothing was to be
sent IN return for the book unless it
was the sweetest of thanks, and the
mere fact of the acceptance Of gift
does not force upon you its return.
Gift-giving is like love; the desire
is supposed to come from the heart,
and no gift is worth anything unless
it is sent with that feeling and that
only. But then you think you are to
accept and never to return? My
dearest girl, we never know how we
return things in this world, but every
thing does equalize itself You have
been charming companion and have
frightened many a moment to a
woman whose purse is better filed
than yours. She sends you, when
Christmas day comes, some dainty
present, some pretty trife that she
knows you would like, a book about
which you have talked, or picture
that you have admired the return
you make should be your thanks
giving. and that is all. Your gift Of
joyful presence was made long be-
fore the material one. do not mean
by this that the woman who is not
rich must not give-God forbid it
but / do mean she must not think of
attempting to return at once the gift
that has come to her. 1t is vulgar,
my dear. Wait until another gift
day comes round, and then give some
thing that expresses yourself, the
child of your brain and your fingers,
rather than Of your purse. After all,
Emerson struck the keynote Of giving
when he said "Our gifts are for the
most part expressionless. Let the
sailor bring sea shell, the poet
poem and the painter picture" and
these are the gifts that, being part of

Unnecessary Precautions.

Kenneth Atkinson, the insurance
man, tells a good story about how
countryman of his who tried to snug
gle valuable little painting, and
having brought it In successfully,
found there wasn't any duty on it,
and had his picture ruined beside.
The countryman in question had q
very valuable Cuyp, about six by
eight inches, which he thought was
amenable to very heavy duty. He
was a big, square-shouldered man,
and for the lack of better scheme
carefully hung the picture under the
back of his overcoat by cord run.

tary carriage the Englishman strobe
down the gangway and got into an
elevated train. To his intense horror
he saw sitting opposite him custem
house official. Thinking to ride out
the customs man, the Englishman
went down to South Ferry and so did
the official. The Englishman got of
and went to Staten Island, and when
in cold sweat he landed at St.
George, he found the customs man
still with him. At Brighton station
the Englishman was met by a friend,
who, with hearty effdsiveness, prompt.
ly pounded him on the back as an
exhibition Of JOY at his return. After
that the Englishman didn't care
whether the custom house official was
around or not, because there wasn't
anything left Of the picture. He
went home and stirred up by his late
experiences, hunted up customs laws
and found that after all the picture
was not dutiable. New York Tele-

How Arabella Brought Her Bashful
Lover to Time.

George was bashful lover. He
scarcely dared to touch his lady's
hand. He loved her we'll and she
was worthy of his affection, for she
was modest. intelligent, sweet and
lovable; but, like good woman, she
yearned for the respectful oaresses
that are the evidences of pure affec-
ton. She, however, yearned in vain.
George worshiped her. He might
kiss the hem Of her garment, but to
kiss her lips or cheek, the very auda-
city of the thought made him tremble.
They sat together by the sea, look
ing out upon the track Of the moons
light which white-winged yachts were
crossing now and then.
Suddenly she moved slightly away
from him.
"Please, George, don't do that"
she said.
"Whati" he asked, in genuine sur
prise.
"Ohl you needn't tell me-" she re-
piled. "You were just going to put
your arm around my waist, and we're
going to try to kiss me-"
"Dear Arabella-"
"Oh you needn't tell me no; you
were going to do it. Well, after all,
l suppose you are not to blame. 1t is
just what lover would do to his
sweetheart, and suppose must not
be offended if you do it."
And George grasped the situation
and did exactly what Arabella sup
posed he would do, and the moon
grinned and the stars winked and the
wavelets laughed and mosquito that
was about to alight OH the maiden's
cheek flew away and settled on the
nose Of a grass widow who was sitting

"In a Minute

"Don't fret. I'll be there in

In minute, over all the world,
about eighty new born infants have

against thrusting existence upon
them while as many more human
beings, weary with the struggle of
life, have opened their lips to utter
their last sign.

In minute an express train goes a
