INTEREST in Tom Browns School
Days, Is revived, if indeed it ever has
fagged, by recent work on the Ar
nolds. The criticism is made oil Tom
Brown at Rugby that it has been
praised too much, and that it shows
only one side, and that not the best
side Of Rugby school life.
The criticism is an unfair one. The
fault lies with the reader and not with
the story. Just as one predominant
trait is an index of character. SO the
upbulldlng of character in school is
evidence of the excellent training
which is given. Tom Browns manly
boyhood, full of faults, though not
grlevous ones, the result of an excess
OF animal life and of impulsiveness. is
held tor the imagination of the
youthful reader. 1t is this growth OF
healthy sentiment in a boy, this
strengthening of moral fiber amid per
plexltles and under conditions which
might lead to ruin. that give inspira-
ton and arouse feelings of hopefulness.
1t Is not a mere recital of boys career.
Tom Brown is 2 living parsonage be,
cause of the human sympathy which
gives life to the. story. No boy is
good at all times. Tom Brown teaches
that boy may be good and still be a
boy of many faults.
Arnold is secondary character in
the story so far as its good influence
Is concerned. And still we must not
underrate that quiet power, watchful
though seemingly unobservant, direct
ing with such forcefulness though
unobtrusively, holding in check

WHEN a minister is foolish he can be
so in an extreme degree. And he is al
ways foolish when he sets out to fight
little things or is looking for evil where
none really exists. Rev. Mr.. Evans at
Methodist conference at Marnette last
week denounced the pictures on the new
paper currency because they we're nude.
What excessive modesty on the part OF
the reverend gentleman What close
search he must institute tor the nude,
when those not given to works of good
aess never observed whether the pictures
we're in Klondlke attire or fitted for Cen
trail African society.
"Say mister" said an irate parent TO
an official who had something to dc with

want them boys to stop swimming IN the
river; my daughters object" why" was
the reply. 1.-The river is half mile from
vonr house." "Yes," was the rejoinder,
"bnt my daughters have field glasses"
That is the case with Mr. Matt Evans
He is too observing. The nude in art at
tracts him too readily. He sees evil
where none Is intended. He does evil
while apparently fighting it, He has CAL.
ed attention to the Objectionable feature
and has thus made it Objectionable. He
Is serving 10 the capacity of setter in
search for vice.

JOSE P. FOLEY of thls state. xas SOME

JOSH P. FOLEY OF this state, was some
time ago married to girl of 16. He was
not 81. The marriage was clamdestine.
Now he wants divorce on the ground
that the marriage was illegal, he being
miner when the marriage occurred.
1t is possible the marriage may be set
aside. It certainly will be fortunate for
the girl if it is, as to live with man OF
such unsurpassed meanness would be
punishment for Jezebel.
The child whom he wrorged under
form of marriage is to be cast of. He
tired of her and her life is to be blighted
TO satisfy within of his. There is no depth
of infamy greater than that which would
willingly sacrifice the future OF child
for the qualification OF fancy. 1t is
moral leproey and the person afflicted
with it should be made to live apart from
mankind.

The latest explanation of the suicide
Of Lieut.. Hahnke, and that now general
~ accepted in Berlin, adds to the regret
at the sad event. and inspires contempt
for Emperor William. Hahnke resented
brutal remark on his mother made by
the emperor. He struck him and knock
ed him down. Feeling that he had by
this act ieopardized the future OF all his
relatives, ne committed snicide. The man
whose sense of honor and respect for his
mother were greater than his fear Of roy
atty must be gallant fellow. The En-
peror might learn much from him and be
the better for It,
