one or n German Emperor's Boats

one BOAST the German Is never wear ~
OF making In regard to his government
as with that of the United
STATES, namely, that the officials of the
fatheriand are distinguished, If not for
enterprise, at least for honesty. In the
main tnis Is true. but there are excep-
lions. The late Chancellor Bismarck
hau no sooner got his imperial machin-
cry In n order twenty-five years
Z tnan he introduced as part OF his
government one of the most odious fea-
lures or Russia, namely. the secret polit.
icai police. He set aside large sums OF
money with which TO pay informers,
spies and a class Of wretches, unknown
In America, called agents provocateurs
The business of these last gentlemen
was to organize disturbances among So
cialists. In order that the government
might have an xcu for making ar
rests OF such as the great prime minis
ter was pleased to call enemies of the
empire or such as we would call enc
mics TO the Bismarckian policy.
The fruit which this tree has borne is
very bitter. A recent trial In Berlin dis
closed the painful fact that this secret
police, intruster with the most delicate
OF ALI political tasks. has been using its
powers for thep purpose of advancing tho
interests OF a court clique as opposed
10 the constitutional government Of the
country Bribery, forgery, perjury, have
been used In the hopes OF damaging Ba-
ron M~arschall, who is head of the Ger
man foreign office, and a man wholly
above the vulgar intrigues that flourish
In the atmosphere Of a court. But per-
haps the saddest feat ure in the case is
the side light 1t throws upon the Ger
man press. Our W papers are not
models OF purity, but it would be diff
cult TO name New York paper capable
of doing such dirty work as is expected
OF so called official and semi-ohicial pa
pers In the land of Schiller and Goethe.
When we In America read that the Ger
man press attacks this man or praises
that one, 1t does not mean that the ed
itors of these papers have reached an in
dependent opinion in regard TO their
relative merits, but It TOO frequently
does mean that they nave been instruct
ed by the political police, or some other
organ Of state, that they must say this,
that or the other. | doubt If in all Ger
many could be found three great daily
newspapers equal to the Staats-Zeitung
of New York; for / know that when our
great New York contemporary abuses
me, 1t is because Of it's own independent
bias, whereas a hundred German papers
will quote an abusive paragraph from
the Staats-Zeitung merely because it is
sent to them by a press agent of the Sc
cret police.

4 Sad Mistake.

She was ordering a pair If bicycle

had formerly catered exclusively to the
male trade.
"You will want two hip pockets, I

Yes" replied the emancipated one.
"Er-pint or quart size?" asked the
man milliner, with II far-away look in

AS she flounced out of the door he

HEM,
Little Arthur Goodasrold.

Little Arthur Goodasgo!d,
When he wasn't two years old,
Gathered up his scattered toys,
Hated vulgar litt!e boys:
Never swung on peoples gates,
bounded all The middle states.
No n ever mad TO scold
Little Arthur G~oodasgo,d
Tommy Tyke was not the same.
Goodness, he deserved his name!
Always up TO something new:
Sd his little trousers through
Broke a tooth at mumb.e peg,
BACKED his eye N smashed his leg.
Nobody could ever like
Such a boy as Tommy Tyke.
Tommy On a sudden freak,
Played with Arthur most a week,
After half a dozen days,
Where were Arthur's pretty ways?
Soon he learned to say 20 rats"
Sicked his black and tan at cats,
spotted up his Sunday toys,
Went completely TO the dogr.
Meanwhile, Tommy was impressed,
Liked his ~playmate's manners best,
Grew as gentle as you choose,
Mindful OF his P's and Q's;
Mothers wish their boys were like
Good and courteous Tommy Tyke;
But for warning tales are told
OF naughty Arthur Goodasgold.

Sure to Be So.

Here lies a poor woman who always was
busy.
She lived under pressure that rendere her
dizzy.
She belonged to ten clubs and read
Browning by sight,
Showed at luncheons and teas, and would
vote II she might;
She served on a school board with cour-
age and zeal;
She golfed and she kodaked and rode on a
wheel;
She read Tolstoi and Ibsen, knew mi
crobes by name:
Approved OF De.sarte, was a "Daughter''
n Dame"
Her children went in for the top educa-
ton;
Her husband went seward for nervous
prostration.
One day on her tablets she found an hour
free
The shock was too great and she died in
stantlee!

SOME ADVISE FOR GIRLS.
Boys and Girls Should BE Openly and
Honestly the Best of Friends.

/ ain not II of those people who
fancy it Il dreadful thing for boys and
girls to be friends. Why should there
be any question in the matterp | am
sorry when l notice. as / do once in a
while, a tendency on the part of a girl
to blush and shipper and look conscious
when boys are around. This Is very
silly indeed, and no sensible girl does.
Boys and girls should be comrades, and
should meet and know each other in q
simple natural fashion, as brothers and
sisters do. Now that winter is here
with its chances for out-of-ooor sport
skating, sleighing, tobogganing, and
whatever else winter brings in its train
the young people Of n neighborhood
ought to have many delightful outings
in common. says a writer in Hdrper'S
Young People. And If, as is often the
case, the sons and daughters of certain
families are in school together, side by
side in recitations there is all the more
chance for their having fun when school
is over. Jack is apt to be polite to Jill
If she helped him out in his arithmetic.
Do you remember Whittier's pretty
stanzas about the schoolhouse and the
little scene he recallsp
I'm sorry that l spelt the word.
i hate to go above you"
Never, dear girls, indulge in any,
thing which has an air of mystery in
your dealings with boy friends. Let the
walks and talks and drives be open and
under the eye of your older friends, and
you will find the breezy bright COM
partnership of a clever boy will be worth
having.
Sisters should look out for their broth
ers in countless little ways. A sister
can make home so pleasant and CHEEKY
that her brother will prefer it of an
evening to any other place. She may
take pride in having her brothers escort
when she goes about, and even if she
does not particularly care to 60
where he proposes 1t for amusement, she
will oblige him if she Is the loving and
unsellish sister have in mind, and sacri-
flee her W INCLINATION to keep him
company.

As The Sun Went Down.

Two soldiers lay on the battlefield
At night when the sun went down.
One he'd q lock of thin gray hair
And one held a lock of brown.
One thought of his sweetheart back at
home,
Happy and young: and gay,
And one OF his mother left alone ,
Feeble and old and gray.
ZACH in the thought that a woman cared,
Murmured a prayer to God,
Lifting his gaze to the blue above
There on the battle sod.
Each in the joy of a woman's love
Smiled through the pain of death,
Murmured the oun of a woman's name,
Though with his parting breath.
Pale grew the dying lips of each,
Then, as the sun went down,
One kissed a lock of hin gray hair,
And one kissed a lock of brown.
