They are telling a story on Superin-

too good to be lost. AS everybody
knows Dr. Abbott is from Fremont, and
in that venerable burg is still regarded
as the Nestor of his profession. Well,
a certain callow Fremont practitioner
had administered too much of a wrong
dose, and killed his patient.
The sorrowing relations discovering
the fact that death had been due to the
doctors mistake, brought suit. And DR..
Abbott was put on the stand as an ex-
pert-his testimony was expert testi-
mony.'
Now. DOCTOR" said the lawyer for
the plaintiff. do you consider such a
dose good practice?'
Yes" said the doctor; lit is good
practice"

from that position. so the prisoner at

Now. doctor. really. do you consider
such a dose good practice" some one

IL was the influence Of this construc-
tive iconoclasm that Swinburne wrote ::
by thy name that in hell fire was writ
ten. and burned at the point Of
thy sword.
Thou art smitten. thou God, thou art
smitten: thy death is upon thee.
O Lord.
And the love song of earth as thou
diest. resounds through the wind
of her wings.
Glory to man in the highest. For man
Is the master of things"
This may seem sacriligious and athe-
istic but II is not. IL is a declaration
that God is not one personal being. but
the whole impersonal universe.
The winning Grafton In the union ora
torical contest at the state university

straw showing which way the wind

absurdity of Deism and the necessity

on the university Is becoming shaky.

And then Rome howled. An hundred

they replied. But alas, and alack a

Lost in this confusion the good old

And the simple reason is, 10th though
we may be to admit II, that the evil we
deplore is due to us who condemn It,
and the remedy lies i'm the hands Of So
ciety, not in the power of the law.
For this hard and bitter fact presses
home; immortality is the price of NOR
ality. The reservation Is the sacrifice
that lust offers upon the altar of chas-
tity. And the lepers at whom we cry
.'unclean! unclean,' are the victims,
not of their own natures. but OF socie-
tvs selfishness. They are the antitypes
of chastity and purity.
And yet reverend gentlemen will stand
in their pulpits and bang the affairs and
denOunce the result. Why do they not
devote a part of their time and their
elOquence to a consideration of the
cause? Because. in the natural order of
things, the cause lies nearer home-and
there is danger i'm denouncing II.
And so those poor victims who al
ready pay the price of the brutality
and savagery innate in man, must cow

condemned. while the causes of their

to order two beers, and she was happy.
She was a young girl, and would have
been good looking but for the hollows
under her eyes, the wrinkles at the cor
ners of her mouth. and the paint upon
her face. Her eyes were shifty and
wavering: her voice was low, gutteral-
and "beery." She was laughing and talk
ing with the stranger, and her talk
was a compound of oaths, slang and
shamelessness.
Suddenly she folded her arms upon
the table, and lay her head upon them;
then she raised it. and her eyes were
filled with tears. She drew a soiled and
faded old tin type from the folds of her
dress. kissed it and fondled it, and
said. all to herself:
Dear Jim; dear old jim; he's coming
back to me-" Then to the stranger:
Hes in London now, Jim is: been
gone more'n three years."
Then she shame-facedly wiped the
tears away, and said:

he gets back,-eh? my duckey.-But
