The soul Is the essential part of the
human being. It's individuality is a yery
recent fact in the history of our globe,
and but few souls are really conscious of
their individuality. Psychic force has Just
begun to assert itself among the higher
spheres of terrestrial humanity. The soul
is beyond all conditions of time and space.
It's human manifestations are shaped by
environments. just as the character of the
grain is governed by the conditions of soil
and cultivation. In sleep the physical
conditions that are nodded in waking
hours by habit and custom are no longer
dominant, and thus the soul unloosed
from the chains of matter roams, or
rather drifts-hither, thither-in so-called
dreams.
Everything in nature has its compile

we to define it according to our physical

The sailors used to go out for deer gen.

would nearly always return with deer

venison for long time with salmon trout.
That was all we wanted for the table with
the stores.

the sailors hauled Us 10 the fresh water

from the cove. 1t was fun to see them
with harness over their shoulders run

with sled at the end. Mr.. Whitaker, a

Kindness from the hardy seaman is still
remembered, so that the children look
back to Herschel Island in midwinter
with many pleasurable recollections.
There were fifteen vessels in winter
| quarters at the island, and as six or seven
captains were accom- panied by their wives,
the season was not so dreary as might be
/ expected. Among the officers OF the ships
were musicians, accomplished performers
on the violin, guitar and mandolin, and
some Hawaiians and Mexicans, who sang
sweetly. Besides, there was more or less
| talent IN the way of comedy.
The ladies entertained quite literally,
and one ship had a steward, a japanese,
who had filled similar position on q
man-of-war. The ladies made good use of
him when they found that he took especial
pride in preparing surprises for every
dinner. And so with music song, comedy,
receptions, card parties. private theatricals
and banquets, varied on fine days with
sled rides the long northern night and the

ON GENTILITY HND HORSES
Some Pertinent Suggestions About the Way
Of Driver With His Horse

We hear gopd deal nowadays of the
thoughtlessnes9 and rudeness of wheel
men, who, more than almost any other
class of people it ometimss seems, appear
to look upon the thoroughfares OF city
and country alike as existing for their ex-
elusive use. l am inclined to think, how
ever, that the wheelman, and when 1 say
wheelman L mean regardless of sex a
rider OF the bicycle, is only a greater
nuisance than the horseman because he
is Just now more numerous.
1t almost seems as if there is something
in the possession of horse that has ten
dency to make US forget the rights not
only of less favored individuals on foot,
but of other riders and drivers besides
ourselves.
Some time ago I was one of small
party of riders who were cantering along
a country road. Suddenly one restive
horse broke into run, and in an instant
the others had followed suit, and we were
rushing along, pell-meil, helter-skelter
around slight bend in the rosd. When
this was reached we saw before US hand
some phaeton, drawn by big, fat, we'll
groomed horse. A lady was driving and
she peered out anxiously, as she heard
the clattering hoofs of our party. The
horse heard the cIatter as well, and was
prancing and rearing with excitement.
We were so close that pulling up was out
of the question, so we did the next best
thing and got by as quickly as possible.
But when our animals were once more
under control and without thought but
that my companions would do the same I
rode back to apologize for what had been
our unavoidable discourtesy. I was sur
prised to find that no one else in the party
seemed to consider this necessary. "Peo-

Speaker of the Evening, as he returned tc
the chair where the child was waiting.

AS he said this. the child sobbed with
Joy and, throwing her little, bony arms
around his neck, kissed him again and
again.

the County Committeeman from seeing a

may not have asked the question or
received the reply which followed.
"Who was that?"
''The child upon whom you have played
a JOKE" answered the Speaker of the
Evening, as he turned abruptly ana went
TO his room in the hotel.
The meeting opened that night with
its usual preliminaries, and as the
Speaker OF the Evening advanced there
was not one in the audience who did not
ieel that something out of the usual run
OF political speeches was coming. 1t was
out of the usual run. 1t was speech of a
Iifetime-a speech which left impressions
of a lifetime.
Ii poor Martin Storms could have heard
what was said about him that night he
would have felt that the compensation for
all his troubles in life had been complete.
When the Speaker OF the Evening closed
there was not dry eye in the house or
heart that had not made some resolution
concerning the candidacy of Martin
Storms.
There was no serenade that night, and
