WilIie's Little lesson

At party for little people, given at a
splendid residence in Newport recently,
Willie Brown, the promising heir of a
patrician family, persisted in playing
with young plebeian who was an unin :
vited guest.
willie was warned by the hostess that
ne should not play with the stranger, but
he paid no heed to the admonition.
That evening, when Willie went home,
his mother had received a full report of
his shocking conduct, and to discourage
her sons rapidly developing democratic
tendencies, she administered to him .
severe whipping.
The chastisement was of such nature
that it was remembered by the little VIC
tim, and yesterday Willie's mother heard
her favorite dog bowling as though he
was being killed. Rushing to the back
yard she saw that Willie had tied the poor
canine to post and was thrashing him
with a buggy whip. He had almost fin
ished whipping the dog when his mother
came upon the scene, but she was in time
to hear him say to poor Fido:
"How dare you play with that dog next
door when you know he hasn't got no
license etag?''-Cincinnati Tribune.

A BULLET IN THE BRAIN
Dramatic Suicide of a Young
Man in Denver
THE PROMENADE TO DEATH
How COnsumptive Ended His Many
Troubles
Asked His Sweetheart to Wait for Him While
He Went Up stairs and Killed
Himself
THE PROMENADE TO DEATH

Denver, Feb. Melancholia and con-
sumption compelled George III. wilkins to
kill himself in pathetic and sensational
manner this afternoon.
While calling upon the young lady to
whom he was engaged, Miss Olive Potter,
he drew revolver, and after saying that
he was convinced that recovery was
impossible, attempted to kill himself.
The young woman by force prevented
him CARRYING out his design, and thinking
to allay his excited condition, suggested
that they go for walk, to which wilkins
agreed. Passing the house where the
young man boarded, he excused himself
to run in and get an ovcrcoat, leaving
Miss Potter at the gate.
Reaching his room he sent bullet
crashing through his brain. His sweet
heart hearing the report of the pistol
reached him just as he was dying. wilkins
came to Denver for his health from Cleve-
land, O., where his mother and brother re-
sided about five years ago. He was twen-
ty-seven years of age and was soon to have
been married. Both wilkins and Miss
Potter stood well in social circles.

Office, by the railroad land grant divis-

the mineral division, which made an ex-

and thereafter the lands shown by the
records to be clear were made up into a
list and submitted to the department with
recommendation that they be approved
for patents.
Since July 9, 1894 the same examina-
tons have been made, and, in addition
thereto, other means have been taken to
guard against patenting mineral lands un-
der these grants. The communication
then details at length the regulations en-
forced to this end. 1t is stated that it
would be impracticable to furnish list
of pending selections awaiting approval
on account of the magnitude of the uh-

states named above will be submitted to
the department for approval for patent

greatest pleasure was to participate IN
military exploits But the primitive
Christian attributed to his God and to all
the angelic or sainted spirits who, in his
eyes, peopled the world, something
higher; with mind filled with moral
purity, elevation and power, he believed
that these transcendent beings had like
ideal, and he believed himself sustained
by them in his efforts to realize it, or
overwhelmed by their contempt when he
cowardly turned his. back on this truly
celestial light. God Himself, from His
high throne and all His court with Him,
was interested in these efforts of the soul
striving for the prize of inward athletic
ism. The firmament with its lnnumera-
bic stars, was like a Coliseum hlled with
spectators, who applauded the victor or
cried down the coward. What glory, but
also what shame, one might find here
Who knows if such a blindly generous
illusion was not needed to place in our
hearts this instructive horror of moral
wrong, this innate veneration of moral
beauty, without which, limited to petty
calculation of utility, morality would dis
appear in the hygienic and penal code?
The similarities between Christianity
and Buddhism have been exaggerated.
The analogy of Development which, while
it cannot be explained by imitation, is vet
explicable by the logical laws of 'imi'ta-
ton; Buddhism differs from Brahminism,
from which it is derived as Christianity
from the Mosaic law, by the substitution
of free and individual investure to the
hereditary transmission of prlestly DOW
ers. 1t is remarkable that the three great
doctrines of salvation all have as an aim
the annihilaton of desire Joined to full
ness of faith in the Master. But these two
aims are very unequally pursued by the
disciples of Jesus and those of Cakya-
Mouna. The former attach chief import
ance to justification by faith; the latter,
like the stoics, to the extinction of desire.
The boundless pity of the Christian
springs from the horror of evil of individ-
ual sin or that inherited from ones ances-
tors; that of the Buddhist from the evils
of the present life and the fright
full danger of rebirths. The
Christian salvation is the hope of
redemption, of pardon, of celestial reward.
The salvation of the Buddhist, purely
negative, is the hope of Nirvana, a sort Of
annihilation, the arrest of the wheels of
transmigrations. Buddhism leads to a
devout polytheism; Buddha becomes a
god superior to all the other gods. Is it
necessary to say that nothing analogous
to this is to be found in the de-
velopment of Christianity?
fused state of turmoil; of continued repe-
titons and variations which change moth
ing. Is this development? No; no more
than is the everlasting restlessness of the

is only when Buddha rises
that the old Indian religion evolves.
1t will, perhaps dissolve when European
learning is spread in the immense Asiatic
peninsula. Translated for Public Opin-

The Whisk Broom at Butte

Frank O'Brien, the well-k known man
about town, has got new story that may
or may not be true, but there is no gain
saying its ingenuity. 1t is something he
tells on Butte, which in view of the noise
that wild and woolly place has been rails
ing in the world lately, makes it timely
reading.
Mr. O'Brien was in those quarters
lately, and being fatigued thought he
would ferret out saloon and take some
thing. He hardly, however required a
ferret to find one as he declares that on
the principal street of Butte every second
house dispenses refreshments under city
license and every second one does it on
the sly.
Having picked out his saloon Mr..
O'Brien says he walked boldly in, and
assuming the air of a man who has lived
in the shadow of the Rockies all his life,
gave his order:
Set EN- up, pard.
The pard put up bottle with a small
glass and the usual trimmings ON the
side, and then to the intense surprise Of
the Easterner, he placed on the counter
an ordinary whisk broom. In his charac-
ter of native, Frank says, he did not
care to commit himself by inquiring too
closely what was the meaning OF this, TO
him, extraordinary proceeding. He
glanced down at his clothes, but there
was no mud on them. He then deter

who wanted drink and watch his move
ments.
Five minutes went by, during which
he exhausted every topic of conversation
with the barkeeper. Twice he asked that
worthy to Join him. On the first invita-
tation he received short, curt ieply.
On the second the man informed MIN
point blank, with IL suggestive move OF
his right hand toward his hip pocket,
that he never "drank behind the bar"
Five minutes. passed during which Frank
four times observed that he thought they
would have rain for sure.
At last the swing-door opened and
rough, bearded man in shaggy coat
stepped up to the bar
The newcomer repeated the Butte
formula:
'Set EN- up, pard.
Pard, as before, put up bottle OF
whisky, a small glass of something on the
de-and a whisk- broom.
Now this mystery will be solved,
thought Frank.
The rough, bearded man poured HIM
self out a glass full, tossed it off, took
swallow or two of water and seized the
whsk-broom.
Stridng to the back part of the saloon
he rapidly swept away the sawdust Tor
space of about six feet square, and. lying
down had fit.
II watched him kicking for fully five
minutes, says Frank, land at the end OF
that time | lett the saloon, nor did touch
a drop of their alleged whisky all the time

EVOLUTION
OF CHRISTIANITY

A logical necessity has always driven
polytheism toward monotheism, as fed
Grafton toward Capitalization, and the
local distribution of idioms, morals, arts,
toward linguistic, moral and artistic util-
ity. The idea of divine unity spreads by
imitation, from the higher to the lower.
1t commenced, as an individual idea,
with Socrates, with Plato, then little by
little under Augustus, it invaded all
clear brains and descended through the
people, although with difficulty, till it be-
came Christianity. At the same time the
idea of God became strengthened and
simple opinion became intense faith.
From this Christian devotion sprang a
new sentiment, that OF the continual
presence and providence of God, psyche
logical combination of humility, abne-
CATION and obedience, of affecting and
profound faith. Seneca and Epictetus
called God 'Our Father" The belief in
immortality took root and sprang into
life, as in the middle ages people no
longer believe in the Elysian fields, but
in a moral and mystical heaven.
At the end of the second century and
the beginning of the third this reawak-
ening of religious life impressed all the
historians The intense desire to believe
in something spiritual and immortal won
its way in all the better layers of society,
and, from year to year, rose like an in
undation in all the souls. In this mo-
ment Christianity appeared, which had
worked in darkness for two hundred
wears. With Judaism alone it denied
the existence of other gods and the legali-
ty of other religions. 1t would be salts
fled with no half measures; it must either
exterminate its rivals or be eXterminated
itself. By series of skirmishes and bat
ties the strongest and most evenly bal
anced faith WAS reached that the world
has ever seen.
But let us see how the Christian dogmas
were formed. There was the question of
harmonizing the opposing elements which
entered into the composition of the doc
trne; the Old Testament and the Evan
gels, the Holy Scriptures in its entirety
and portion Of the Platonic metaphysics,
the Jewish idea of the Messiah and the
Greek idea of the Word, the divine nature
of Christ and His human nature, man S
free will and the foreknowledge of an all
powerful God. Difficult problems, which
ragged tempestuously in the head of each
theologian who tried to solve them, suffer-
ing from the contradictions and desiring
to put an end to them AS many differ
ent solutions as fathers: those of the Ju-
dean Christians, the gnostcs, OF Clement,
of Origen, of Athanasius, etc. And, on
the other hand there was the question OF
founding church in place of churches.
Both tasks were undertaken, but without
success the first, because the inherent
contradictions in the theses were inefface-
able-as, for instance, free will and divine
foreknowledge Finally, there came a
moment when the theologians resigned
themselves to the inevitable, sayiE~: 1t
may be that He is inc0mprc aensible, but
on that account, precisely, .as must be
divine.

headway, and the appliances for fighting
the fire were so deficient, that the struct-
