1t was expected that the reference
which the Emperor William made to
Alsace and Lorraine in his speech the
other day congratulating Bismarck on the
preparations which were being made for
the celebration of his birthday, would
arouse a feeling of bitterness in France
In presenting Bismarck with a sword he
said: Il could not find a better present
for you than sword, symbol of the in
father to forge, sharpen and WELD. 1t is
a symbol of a historic time of blood and
iron. 1t is that means which never fails
in the hands of kings and princes, both
against home foes, and, as has been tested,
against foreign enemies. In memory of
that memorable time you will recognize
the arms of Alsace-L Lorraine, which form
the end of chapter of history of twenty
five years"
The speech is the cause of a good deal
of irritation in France, and, as will be
seen from our foreign dispatches yes
terday. is likely to prevent the closer
friendly relations between Germany and
France which were promised by the invi-
tation to the Berlin art exhibition and the
ceremony a the opening of the North sea
and Baltic canal
Doubtless the emperor had no thought of
the effect his speech would have in
France. His purpose was doubtless to
say something that would be particularly
gratifying to Bismarck. What he said,
however, cannot be explained away, and
the little speech may be used effectively
in bringing about a disturbance in French
politics and of renewing the bitter feeling
in France against Germany. The emperoT
does not seem to have a large amount iof
caution. He is not skilled in concealing
his real sentiments with words. He gen
orally says what is in his mind, and there
fore sometimes gives utterance to things
that are calculated to provoke unfavorable
criticism.

There can be no possible objection to
sending missionaries to foreign countries,
but would it not be advisable to provide
missionaries for the heathens at home
before sending missionaries to the heath
ems of other countries?
There are plenty OF heathens at our
very doors. This seems like a strange
statement to make, but is true. A week
ago last Monday, in the general sessions
court Of Jersey City, a boy. IA years of
age, was asked IL he knew the nature
of an oath. He said he did not.
Did you ever hear of God?" asked
Judge Hudspeth.
NO, sir" said the boy.
Il think" said Judge Hudspeth, that
this is a case for the missionaries. 1t is
hardly worth while for them to waste
time in going to Africa. The witness
may stand down"
A further examination of the boy by
the prosecuting attorney disclosed the fact
that the boy. although unusually bright.
had never attended church or Sunday
school or secular school. He was sim
ply a heather in a Christian land. He
had lived all his life within stone S
throw Of churches and Sunday schools,
and yet had never heard of God in the
way that a lad in a Christian land should
hear. The fact that he had not is not
perhaps the fault OF anybody in partic-
ular, but is it not the fault of the sys-
TEN that provides for sending hundreds
of thousands of dollars annually to
heather countries for the spread of the
gospel while so many within the shadow
of our churches know nothing of the
Christian religion? Should the home mis-
sionary field be neglected in order to
send missionaries abroad? 1t is true
that this question receives attention, but
does it receive the attention it should?

The Mig Hat Nui.nnce.


We do not know that the legislature
OF any one Of the states has yet passed
a bin prohibiting the wearing OF big hats
by women in places OF public amusement.
but bills for that purpose have been in
PRODUCED into the legislatures Of a good
many OF the states within the past few
months. The introduction Of these bills
shows how great the nuisance is. In view
OF the fact that women know how very
annoying a big hat is TO those who oc-
cupy seats behind them at the theater,
or in a lecture hall. II is strange that they
persist IN wearing the Objectionable
hats in such places. AS rule women are
very considerate Of the. rights Of others.
but in this matter many Of them show
an amount OF selhshness that almost
makes one wonder whether they are as
courteous as they have the reputa ton
for being.
A bill requiring women TO remove their
hats in places Of public amusement was
recently introduced into the legislature Of
Massachusetts. The bill was before the
House judiciary committee on last
Wednesday. Mr. Sterling Elliott made
an argument in favor of IL, and in sup
port of his argument presented a petit
ton signed by several hundred women,
who declared they would welcome the
proposed "theater hat" reform. In the
course of his argument he related some
amusing experiences in his efforts to get
women to sign the petition in favor Of
the bill. one Of the committee asked
Mr.. Elliott If he thought women ever
"wilfully'' obstruct any ones view. The
best reply that can make to that ques-
ton" he answered, sis a conversation
which 1 had with a lady whom l asked to
sign this petition. When l asked her, she
said she did not propose to take off her
hat for any one. But, madam l said,
1T is not you whom 1 am asking to take
off your hat; it is the women in
front of you She thought for moment
and then signed the petition. She said
that she had frequently been annoyed
that very way. think that the women
are thoughtless oe their own interests in
this way, as they are more often annoyed
men,"
Those who are curious to know II
women are Indifferent as to whether they
annoy others with their high hats must
draw their own inference from Mr.. Eli
otis answer to the committeemans ques-
ton. We are inclined to think that they
are thoughtless, and are willing to re-
move their hats when they are informed
they are interfering with the pleasure Of
others.
A thought that Mr.. Elliott threw out In
the course of his argument was the fol
lowing: He had been asked, he said. by
a good many women to incorporate in
the billia provision preventing men from
leaving ttheir seats in a theater between
acts. In reply, he said it is the hats that
are worn at the theater that drive men
to drink. Women have never thought
probably OF their responsibility in this
matter. If Mr.. Elliott is right women
should hasten to save men from drink
by abatng the "theater hat" nuisance

She was no longer a rosebud, says the
Detroit Free Press.
Indeed, she was in full bloom, and had
been so through several seasons.
But she had money, and he loved her.
How often men do tina. way.
Oh, money, thou art honey!
So, as the time wore on and she grew
no younger, his heart throbbed more and
more, until he stilled its throbbing by
proposing to her.
He was so sure of her at her time of
life, that anything but a prompt accept
ance never occurred TO him.
What was his intense, nay painful sur
prise, then, to hear her say she was very
much obliged to him for his kindness.
but REALLY she must decline.
"Oh, why, why?" he pleaded in heart
broken tones.
Because l do not love YOU" she an
swered
But you can learn to love me-" he an
swered coaxingly
Il think not" she persisted.
"Oh, yes, you can" he exclaimed, grab
bling at her lly-white hand. "One is never
too old to learn, you know"
How he escaped alive is no part of the
chroniclers business to explain.

The value of a prayer not often is fixed
in dollars and cents, but Texas farmer
is credited with such an operation. The
Fl. S. Thrali, one Of the pioneers of Meth
odism in Texas. In company with num-
Der of itinerants, who were on their way to
conference, DR.. Thrall stopped to spend
the night with an old farmer. It was the
custom then to settle the bill at night so
that they might rise about 3 o'clock in
the morning and ride a good way before
breakfast and lie by in the heat of the
day. DR.. Thrall, acting as spokesman of
the party. said to the old farmer after
supper: I'VE are a company of Methodist
get the family together we will have
prayers with you" After prayers one by
one settled his bill DE-. ThPallis turn came
and he asked for his bill. The farmer re-
piled: "Wel, pa son, / charged the rest
25 cents, but being as you prayed for us
so good, won't charge you but 20 cents. ="
The brethren had the laugh on DR.. Thrall.

sin of the nation is the desire for wealth.
and in the effort to satisfy this desire too
often there is no more respect for morals
and the laws than is necessary to main

worshipped that a rich man may do many
things that poor man cannot do and
be tolerated.
A rich man may wreck a railroad and
make millions by the operation, and not
only escape punishment but be regarded
as a great financier. Within the last three
or four years fortunes have been made by
wrecking corporations Of one kind and
another, and bringing thousands of the

those responsible for the wrecking has
