by the neighbors across the street, and
later were out in the garden together
picking fruit. Mr.. Stetka was not the

Paul Revere's Tower.

1t is saddening for the patriotic tour

the towers of old Christ church to be

tower having been blown down in the
great gale Of 1904. However, there are
plenty Of genuine relics inside-where
the vast majority Of Boston never goes.
There are still the old deep window
seats, the balcony surrounding the
church, with its supporting pillars and
upper arches; the top "slaves' gallery"
and the antique pews. The bottom Of
the ancient pulpit of hourglass shape is
left US, but the top was given away by
the church officials in 1920. The clock

Special English Traits.

The intellectual speciality Of the Eng
llsh, as we should contend, is their i'm
patience Of abstract ideas, their inabili-
ty to believe that because an idea is
sound they are, therefore, bound, even
when it is inconvenient, to push it to
its logical result They insist on self
government, but are quite content to
tolerate monarchy and aristocracy. They
hold to religious liberty as a dogma,
but tax all landlords indifferently 10
support an established church. They
believe in the equality Of citizens and
tolerate the most astounding differences
in the amount Of voting power which
is assigned to each, SO that Londoner
has scarcely third Of the power to in
fuence laws possessed by an Arcadian
or man Of Kilkenny.
They swear by the franchise as the
sheet anchor Of liberty, but do not fret,
If they get liberty, because the fran
chlse is restricted one. Every man
with us is in the national ideal "free
to say the thing he will" but when he
has said it he comes under very strict
laws, indeed, intended to provide that
what is said shall not be libelous or
blasphemous or improper. Colonel In
gersoll, the American apostle of disbe-
lief would on this side of the water
have passed half his life in prison.
