voice, told her the story OF the father he
had never seen.
In the village of Banbury, at the open
ing OF the war, lived a prosperous young
merchant, John Lorimer. He had not
been married long when the call for
yO-duy volunteers came, and for this and
other reasons he did not feel il incum-
bent upon him TO respond 10 the call.
But when 1t was seen that the civil war
WAS assuming alarming proportions,
and Father Abraham" called for
'JOO.0Oy more" then John Lorimer saw
hut one thing TO do. He sold out his
business, and. turning the proceeds OF
the sale and all his other property over
TO his wife, he went to the front as Sec
ond in command OF battery fitted out
by Banbury and neighboring villages
For q year or more came, with more

THE MONARChlCAL THEORY.
Has Received Some Severe blows of
Late Years.

To the student of political institu-
lions perhaps the most characteristic
thing about the history of the German
empire is the example that it gives
us of the revival or reafiirmation, so
to speak, of the principle of monarchy
That principle has received some rude
shocks in recent years. The establish
nent of the French republic was one,
and the deposition of the emperor of
Brazil was certainly another. Both
events gave great encouragement to
republican ideas. Kingship in the old
absolute sense had long been on the
wane. The French revolution almost
shattered the foundations of the old
monarchical rule. In England the old
kingship received its final blow when
George ". surrendered his position or
the question of the emancipation of the
Catholics. No attempt has since been
made to impose the royal will upon
reluctant ministry or parliament. In
France the old kingship disappeared
when Louis Philippe, the citizen king.
was summoned to the throne. for the
monarchy of July was built on strictly
constitutional lines. Even in Prussia
very restricted constitution was re-
luctantly conceded.
King Frederick William ". vowed
that he would never let sheet of paper
intervene between the God in Heaven
and his subjects, but even he was forced
at last to yield to the spirit of the age.
and, as Bismarck picturesquely put it,
. the crown itself threw clod upon its
coffin. The italian states and Spain
were for long in condition of chronic
revolution, and either constitutions
were extorted or republics We're es-
tablished. 1t almost seemed as though
the principle of kingship was doomed
ere long TO disappear. But the history
Of the German empire has done much
toward the restoration of monarchy in
its old illustrious position.-Macmil.

doing for anyone who wore the army
uniform"
Under DR.. Bakers somewhat primi-
tive treatment the patient did not
thrive, but, instead. grew worse. until,
at the end of week, at Mrs. Lorimers
suggestion, physician from the city
was sent for.
That eminent practitioner arrived,
oskcd few questions, examined the pa
TENTS injured head. and announced:
The man has been wounded in the
head, and his skull has been trepanned
1t was a bad job, for something was
left pressing upon the brain, and this
accident has dented the plate, also.
think he'll stand an operation" the
physician wen on musingly as he turned
to his case OF surgical instruments.
In a few hours, the city physician,
having removed the old plate and re-
placed it with new one took the train
home, leaving behind him patient who
was sleeping as quietly as babe. To
Mrs. Lorimer the doctor said, at part
ing:
"All your patient needs now is good
nursing, and / know. madam, he will
receive it at your h. nds. When he re-
gains consciousness, it will be, think,
as perfectly sane man."
The second morning after the doctors
departure Mrs. Lorimer was leaning
over the sick man, when suddenly his
eyes opened.
I've been pretty sick, haven't 1,
uurse?" he asked with faint smile.
Yes, indeed. But you mustn't talk.
What shall | get YOU to eat?"
How long will it be. do you think,
before | can go homer persisted the
man.
Not for quite awhile yet, I'm afraid.
Where do you IIyc?"
AT Banbury. III I've got wife
there and ooy I've never seeu-named
after me--John Lorimer. and want
to-"
John in the sitting-room heard his
mothers scream. and. bounding up the
stairs three steps Mt n time, found her
lying in faint across the body of the
wondering. frightened sick man.
It was all soon explained. John
Loriiner. Sr.. had been struck by hy-
ing bit of shell while in command Of
his buttery. and had been taken 10 the
hospital, where an incompetent sur
gcon trepanned his injured skull. In
a short time he had been discharged
from the hospital as cured-but he had
lost his memory, had forgotten his name,
residence, everything, and was semi
iinbecile beaides. in this condition he
had passed 22 long years-years of
/ which lie had no recollection whatever.
But the husband OF her youth was
again with her in the flesh, and Mrs.
| Lorimer's steadfast faith was justified.
Just look Mt Mrs. Lorimer." said one
o: the guests at the Armstrong house
the day John and Bgssie were married;
and she nodded towards that little
woman. who was leaning proudly on
the arm of her loug-nbsent husband.

Ju.t The Mnn to Do II.

The man for the occusion is not al
ways so promptly at hand as he seems
to have been in the following story:
Not long ago, Sandpw, the celebrated
strong man, was going from Kansas
City to Omaha. While in the train he
was nccosted by tall gentleman with
long side-whiskers.
''Excnse me, SIR" he said, "but are
not you Mr.. Sandow?".
EYES," said the strong man.
"You can lift three tons in harness?"
Yes, sir, that is my record" the
Hercules returned.
''You can hold two hundredweight at
arms length?"
"Yes."
"And six hundred with two?"
"Yes." &

window for me?"-Tt-Bits.

Development. In Hypnoti.m.

Developments in hypnotism are con-
stantly taking place. DIR. Lieteault says
that it is possible TO hypnotize 55 per
cent of mankind-that men are more
easily hypnotized than women. be-
cause they have more power of CON
centration, and that a person of very
nervous temperament or whose mind
is somewhat unbalanced makes very
poor subject. He believes that no per-
son can be induced by hypnotist to
commit crime, and that hypnosis, which
is, after all, sleep induced by the sng-
eestion of another, is better than all
drugs and medicines to relieve per-
son in pain.-Chicago journal.

\D moment he stood
hcsitatingly on
the piazza, then, with deep sigh, he
walked down the gravel path, out of the
gate and up the lane towards the big
white house of the Armstrong family.
He walked slowly, with eyes bent on
the ground, as one having trouble on
his mind, until, glancing up, he caught
the CLEAN of white dress at the gate
of the Armstrong home-then the lag
giug steps grew brisk, and the melan-
choly face was frightened by a smile OF
pleasant anticipation,
1t was a lovely evening in the latter
part of May, and all nature seemed TO
be rejoicing in the fullness of the ripe
sDringtime. 1t seemed time for glad
ness and naught else, at least to those
10 whom sorrow was unknown. But in
the cottage John LorImer had just left
was little gray-hairel woman who,
sitting in an armchair with an old,
faded photograph in her thin, shaking
hands, was sobbing as though her heart
would break. The picture was that OF
a young, handsome man in the uniform
of lieutenant of artillery, and was
sadly blurred with the unavailing tears
that had fallen upon 1t.
The twilight dcepened, and darkness
came, and with it the songs of the frog
and the cricket and the whip-poor-will
and all the other sounds that tend to
make night in the country very sym
phuny in itself-but the woman paid
no heed, pausing only in her weeping
now and then to kiss passionately the
faded, tnwdry photograph.
Young Lorimer's smile vanished al
most as quickly MS it came, for he could
not more than mcmentarily forget the
| poor little heart-brolien mother he had
left weeping In her corner of the big
| sitting-room, although he knew he
| could do nothing to soothe her, and that
/ she preferred to be left alone at this
| time; so his face was unusually solemn
when he greeted his sweetheart, Bessie
Armstrong, who was waiting for him
at the gate.
what makes you look so solemn To-
night, big boy?" asked the girl, lightly
