We see how habits, and interests, and
lil1ings mold the theories of those around
US. yet forget that our own theories are
similarly nodded. Nevertheless, the in
stances in which our feelings bias us in
spite of ourselves are of hourly recur-
renee. That proprietary passion which
a man has for his ideas wells their de-
fects from him as effectually as maternal
fondness blinds a mother to the imper-
fections of her offspring.-Herbert Spen-

GREENFIELD HILL.
MRS OLIVE EVELYN HOEG.

Olive Evelyn Hoeg, wife of Frederick F. Hoeg, and daughter of Mir and Mrs George l.. Burr, departed this life on Easter morning, March 25, after brief illness. She was born on February 12, 1870, and had been happily married about three years. An affectionate daughter and sister, a devoted wife and faithful mother, she adorned the home with those graces which crown true womanhood. She was a member of the First Reformed church of Brooklyn and well known in society where her genial manners and sunny disposition had won many friends, who sadly mourn her early departure. Two little daugh- ters survive her. To the bereaved hus- band and parents, brother, sisters and friends we extend sincere sympathy. Beautiful in life, ''s'Beautiful in death.'' The funeral was attended from her fath- er's residence, No. 151, Taylor street, on Tuesday evening, March 27, where the numerous floral offerings silently testi- fled of the love and esteem in which she
 was held. The interment took place at Oak Lawn, Southport, on Wednesday where large concourse had gathered | to join in the last sad rites and there on bed of evergreens and lilies, (symbols of life and purity) she was laid to rest beneath a mantle of fragrant flowers, to await the other Easter morn when she shall rise.

The civilization of Kansas and of New York City, as contrasted by Mir Gleed in the April Forum, is full of suggestive topics; for instance, the state of morals in q rural community and in an urban community; the condition of education ; and especially the social condition and surroundings of the great mass of peo- pie. This is very interesting contrast, not simply between New York and Kan sas, but between New York and almost any other rural community, with much in favor of the civilization of the rural community. Not the least suggestive point in this comparison is the difference between the politics of New York and of Kansas; if Kansas politics be in a state of discouraging chaos, the politics of New York are in state of criminal chaos. As social study, covering a very wide range, Mir Glecd's article is suggestive in many ways.

The Springfield Republican thinks the leaders of Coxey's tramp army are not altogether crazy. One of them is said to have sung this "morning hymn, ;" when starting out the other day; Fall inl my noble comrades, and quit your
 falling out,
 And stick to Coxey and "good roads" with
 purpose true and stout, Tho oommissary is full of buns, our hearts are
 full of cheer,
 Tho victory is ours fl we keep away from
 beer.
 And the Republican adds with much force that this injunction about the beer Is the best anti-poverty and anti-tramp prescription yet given out by any labor reformer, sane or insane.
