Kept His Word.

An examiner at Edinburgh Uni
versity had made himself obnox-
sous by warming the students
against putting their hats on his
desk, says Harper's Round
Table The university in the
Scottish capital is remarkable for
a scarcity of cloak-rooms, and in
the excitement of examinations
hats are, or used to be, flung down
anywhere. The examiner an
nounced one day that if he ever
found another hat on his desk, he
would rip it up. The next day no
hats were laid there when the stu
dents assembled. Presently, how
ever, the examiner was called out
of the room. Then some naughty
undergraduate slipped from his
seat, got the examiners own hat
and placed it on his desk. When
the examiner re-entered the hall
every eye was fixed upon him He
observed the hat, and CLEAN of
triumph shot across his face.
"Gentlemen," he said, II told
you what would happen if this oc-

penknife from his pocket, opened

putting his hand to his brow, was
blindfolded and led the student to
the hiding place, but, of course
could find no pin. He returned
acknowledging his defeat, and look
ing daggers at his confederate.
''Now, gentlemen" said the stu
dent, ''I'll undertake to say that,
if this diviner of the human mind
will do as [ tell him, half the au-
dience without single hint will
know where the pin u.s." and turn
ing to the thought-reader, he said:
'Sit down" He did so. There

thought-reader hastily pulled from
his coat-tails the marked pin

At an entertainment in Dublin
thought-reader boosted that he
could find a marked pin hidden by
one of the audience. The pin was
hidden by Trinity student in an
adjoining room in the presence Of
the committee, among whom was
a confederate. The student, sus-
pecting the man from his looks,
slyly took away the pin from its
hiding place. On his return to
the platform the thought reader
gazed into the hider's face, and,

Victor Huyo's Les Miserables,"
may distinctly recall an impor-
tant character, that of Jean Val
jean, a poor man in desperate cir
cumstanccs He steals loaf of
bread to keep life in those depend
ent upon him. Society made
him steal the bread then sent him
to the gaIleys and then released
him, branded him with the pass
port, those yellow papers that car
RED with them their stigma wher-
ever he went. Their influence fol-
lowed him wherever he went; like
adark storm cloud they hung about
him and menaced him. The cur
following at his heels was aware OF
them and growled his disapproval.
Even the little children summed
him, and in the stiffness of the
starry night he lay down beneath
heavens dark blue dome and look
ing up into the face OF the great
eternity asked. is there anything
beyond. and can such cruelty exist;
have sinned because | saved my
starving ones. No: society had
>sinned, and then doubly incrimi-
mating herself made it impossible
for him to procure the necessarles
Of life for those unfortunate ones.
He was an honest man, had been
honorable and just. but the Me-
phisto Of society had created such
conditions that it became impossi-
BILE for All honest being to exist,
and regarding first the demand of
nature, he acted upon the impulse
al every true son OF nature. lie
had done what every true man
would do. This was condition
of life in France about the time OF
the French Revolution. and though
our present history may show no
parallel, yet society is today doing
lust as it did then in every cline
and country. Jean Vatican is a
type and not of the criminal class.
Society is again, today, at this mo-
ment, creating Jean Valjeans.
Abuses are winked at by those in
authority. and those who have the
power to raise the sensitive minds
of some unfortunate beings, are
doing their utmost to crush from
them truth. God and Eternity.
Society is prominently selfish in
her great rush and strife for the
almighty dollar She brushes
aside all good impulses and instead
Of making all men brothers. she
is ever widening the breach be-
tween them 1t is fact that the
dollar has become supreme. SUI
preme because it has become the
idea Of the world and hence the
master Of all men. and since ideas
rule the world, it is the king Of all
ldeas Has not the Dollar Idea
reigned sufficiently long, and is it
not pertinent to ask If society
should not be sufuSed with a new
idea? Would not universal broth
erhood be Il splendid idea to moe
nIate into the veins Of society, and
ut least give TO her u mild case of
something more than distant for
rnality and cold friendship. The
world is. on at least should be
growing better. Ii she is not. then
are we on the decline. All prog
ress which tends to make men self
ISL and avaricious is not, truly
speaking, advancement, There is
no advancement unless it be to-
ward an ideal, and true happiness
is the onl y end and aim of exist

Of himself, but of the commonweal
and we shall some day and some
where realize that ideal state for
which all mankind are created. -
