"Mr. Geraint, the novelist, took me
down to dinner last night, and he told
me the only thing that will make people
buy books is seeing the authors portrait

hearing from some Of the interviews
which are published regarding him that
he never could take sugar with his cof-

misfortune to have himself and COM
panion thrown violently to the ground
by his horse taking fright and running
away. The gentleman was not seriously
injured. his principal loss being that Of

his head and holding his masters wig,

he arrested Monday night, and but for
the assistance OF a bystander might have
got the worst OF it, He had arrested a
man named Frank Vidiana, who was
drunk and disorderly. Frank would
have submitted gracefully enough, but a
companion, Samuel Melana, proved OBJ
streperous and then both men began to
resist the officer. 10 the struggle Ed fell,
and then Melana pulled a knife. Just at
this iuncture Mike Cunningham, who the
nightwatchman did not know was near,
stepped up and swiped Samuel, putting
him hors de combat. Yesterday morn
ing the pair were before Justice Finn, and
Melana was sent to jail for sixty days

classes Of people The one are ever de-
nouncing the evils of the world and
agonizing all who mingle with them.
They pose as prophets and ever heap
impreoations upon the heads OF those
who do not follow the path pointed out
by them. They take their pleasure in
contemplation CT the miserable condition
Of the world and the prospect Of it's
more miserable punishment in the near
future. They are no relatives Of John
Baptist. however, for these modern
voices in the wilderness never effect the
reformation of the masses nor find q
world Saviour among the living and
present.
Others see slight distinctions In moral
things and would make little difference
between the church and the world Not
too bad and not overmuch good would
be their rule. Not too strict nor yet too
openly wicked and vile Is their advice
in conduct.
The true Christian will satisfy neither
Of these classes. AS Jesus said, some
will want to play marriage, others fune-
raj and the crowd OF children in the
market place will never full agree among
themselves whether piping and dancing
or mourning shall be the popular exer-
else. The children OF the Wise One
must not largely look TO either class for
direction in spirit or action. We are to
live in the world and yet not be worldly
minded. We are to meet with the vi
cious, yet never to participate in their
vice and to associate with them only TO
reform them. We must never lose sight
Of the fact that we are salt-salt of the
earth and its only hope. We must never
lose our sadness for then there is no
source from which sadness can be i'm
parted to us IL their evil overoomes our
good. The evil in them has been more
powerful than the Christ in us. We
must overcome the evil with the good.
