A Little Child Saved Him.

II Patrick Mechan ever rises from
the position of pedlar, which he now
holds. to one of sufficient affluence to
enable him to pay for coat of arms,
he ought to adoptas motto. "Saved
by a Child" Patrick was locked up
for unruly conduct, and, when
brought before Sir John Bridge at
Bow Street, he commenced to talk
glibly, but uselessly, in his own de-
fence, when the magistrate stopped
him with the words: You have
some one in court who pleads for
you much better than you can do for
yourself. AS you entered, your child,
who is at the back OF the court in
its mothers arms, cried out Daddy
in way that convnces me that you
have been loving father, and in
consequence shall give you one
more chance. You must enter into
your own recognisances to be of
good behavior for six months.
Don't come here again. You appear
to have been drinking. Follow my
advice and take the pledge and keep
it," II will, sor. Thank you, your
worship" wiping away a tear or
two from his eyes If there be any
good at all in Mechan he will stick
to his promise and live up to the
reputation his child unconsciouslv
gave him. The young Mechan is a
bright-looking, intelligent youngster,
and while his father stood in the
dock comforted his mother, whose
arms held him, by kissing her and
saying, Don't cry, mamma. Daddy's
there. "-[London Daily Telegraph.

A CLERGYMAN'S VIEWS.
On One of the Vexed Questions
of the Day.

The greatest free thinker amongst our
readers would doubtless dispute some of the
pulpit utterances Of the Rev. Geo. A. Wiki
ms, of West Lebanon, N. H., the village
just across the river from White River Juno
ton, VT. but the greatest follower of the re-
doubtable Ingersoll will 60 back on his
champions teachings if he doubts the evil
dence of his senses or refuses to believe
what the most superficial investigation will
prove to be true. If the Rev. Gentleman
lived on the Pacific Slope and his views or
opinions on the subject under discussion
were published in the States Of Vermont and
New Hampshire, there would be room for
argument. But as he lives in the State of
Vermont, is well known on both sides of the
boundary line, and has minstered to great
many congregations, skepticism is not allow
able. From exposure and overwork," he
says, "while in my last clerical charge ex-
perienced considerable trouble from an at.
lection of the kidneys. Having made use Of
Doan's Kidney Pills found great relief from
them" You can't spin long yarn
about backache. You have it, it hurts and
you wish to get rid Of it. What will drive it
away is worth more to the reader than a
column and half of symptoms. Can you
ask for more convincing proof than the Rev.

Pigeons In High Attitudes.

On Thursday the statement was
made in this column that Professor
King would make a balloon ascen-
sion on the Fourth of July, and would
liberate carrier-pigeons at two and
four mile heights, and that the ex-
pertinent would be watched with in.

Wise, who at one time was known
as the youngest aeronaut in the
world, and who is now living in
this city, takes exception to the
Experimental feature of this an
nouncement, and SAYS that as early
as 1903 scientific men took carrier
pigeons with them, and found that
at great elevations if the pigeons do
not die they will not leave the bal

Frederick the Greats Monument.

The magnificent monument to Freder-
ick the Great which adorns the space
between the palace of old Emperor Will
liam and the University of Berlin fur
nishes a striking illustration of the radi-
cal difference between a constitutional
and military government. The monu-
ment l refer to is one of the grandest
equestrian compositions in the world,
made by the foremost sculptor of his
day, paid for by grateful population,
and concentrating monarch not only
glorious as soldier, but also as the
patron OF art and letters. This monu-
ment, as every American tourist knows,
is supposed to bring together all the
great men who lived under this king
something after the manner of the Albert
memorial in London.
Amongst the dozen who crowd in
effigy about the base of this statue l
could discover but two whose profession
was not exclusively that OF killing their
fellow man. These two were Kant and
Leasing, the only names in the whole
crowd that would today be generally
known amongst fairly educated people

Crowded Java.

Eliza Ruhamah Scidmore, author
of "Jinricksha Days." writes paper
entitled prisoners OF State at Boro
Boedor," for the September Century.
1t is an account OF the visit of two
American ladies to the vast Buddhist
ruins in the middle of Java. Miss
Scidmore says:
Every few miles there were open
edited pavilions built over the
highways as refugees for man and
beast from the scorching sun of one
season and the cloud-burst showers
OF the rainy half OF the year. Twice
we found busy passers going on in
groves beside these rest houses
picturesque gatherings of men,
women and children, and displays of
fowls, fruits, nuts, vegetables, grain,
sugar, spices, gums and flowers, that
tempted one to linger and enjoy, and
to photograph every foot of the
passer's area. The main road was
crowded all the way like city
street, and around these passers the
highway hummed with 70 ces.

the population-twenty-four million
people on this island OF 49, 1877 square

American fiumor.

Every one knows that old and
vervcxtreme test of humor contained
in the story OF man who, on receiv'
ing a telegram announcing the ami
hiation of his wife and children in a
railway accident, laid down the
envelope, exclaiming, "This is per-
tectly ridiculous" Do you who now
read see the humor lurking there !?
There is little use Of argument over
The matter. He who feels rather
than sees this humor is amused for
no accepted reason than he can
readily assign. On the other hand,
he whose fancy is not thus tickled is
revolted, il not angered, at the sight
OF mrth where he but detects
tragedy. Yet there is no real lack OF
feeling in such mirth. The effects OF
certain kinds of humor on certain
kinds Of minds means as irresponsi-
BILE a contraction of the mental
muscles as of the bodily upon occa-
sions. We hear children say that
so.and-so is "ticklsh," because that
particular child's body is sensitive
to certain kind OF teasing touch
In just the same irresponsible way
the mind may be sensitive or jmper-
vious to particular touch of humor
In either case the condition seems to
be born with those who possess it.
While not meaning to make this
plea Tor the extremes OF American
humor, it seems only fair to us that
those who have not that quality
will have some charity tor those
who happily or unhappily possess it.
Americans inheriting this blrthright
are often called upon to have
patience with those to whom it is
denied. AS an instance OF this |
must, with an apology, briefly repeat
an old but characteristic American
tale. The story is of the vigilance
committee which hanged the wrong
man for horse stealing, and then,
discovering too late their mistake,
deputlzvd one member to apologize
to the widow. well, missus," said
the sheepish deputy to the weeping
woman who answered his knock
upon her door, Il guess you've got
the laugh on us this time" 1t was
this tale which an American once
ventured to repeat to a serious Eng
lish friend, who waited, after the
story was told, with that look,
crushing to a story teller, which
plainly says, ITS not possible that
the point has come!" Yes, that's
ALL" said the American, meekly.
Don't you see the joke ?" 'Jokem
repeated the listener, Indignantly.
DO you cali that mans remark
funny? | think it was the height OF
impertinence!" Yet the American
kept good temper.
Such humor as this the English
call American" as term of con-
tempt, just as we on our side, " atch
ing an English farce where the hero
is knocked down with a rope of sau.
sages or upset from a table. say,
with sniff, English horse play"
Let us live and let live, my brothers.
After all, climate has much to do
with such serious differences of
opinion. The drier the atmosphere,
the more dry and cracking the wit.
A moist climate calls tor stou,er food,
stouter raiment, stouter witticisms.
An acute sense of fitness, which is
also an American birthright, seems
to lie at the root of most of those
humorous tales which amuse the
American mind only. They all illus.

The king James version Of 1911 has been
the generally accepted Bible for genera
tons. In 1870 IL was thought that the
popularity OF the King James version
would he destroyed. when the convoca-
ton OF Canterbury appointed committee
TO confer with the scholars of other de-
nominations on a revision of the Old and
New Testaments. Twenty-seven Of the
most prominent ministers of the gospel of
this country. and ffty-two Of the leading
3ivines OF England. worked for years TO
bring about the revised New Testament
published in 1851. But the version of King
James is still the one read by the psonle
and used in the pulpts, and owing 10 the
great cost Of the Polychrome the King
James version will probably remain the
generally accepted Bible for several CEN
turtles to come.
