IN TIE AMPHTTHEATER
Contest Before King Herod and PoDs
thus Pilatus In Jerusalem.


On one Of those days he went to the
amphitheater, the circus which Rerod
the Great had built. at some distance
from the city. He paid for a seat III one
IF the upper galleries. On the tiers OF
seats below him were all sorts Of people,
and far away, on the opposite side Of the
vast arena, the sandy level in the mid
die, he saw, in tho lower tier, a canupied
place that was furnished magnificently.
In it there were throne seats, and on
them sat King Hcrod Antipas, Pontius
Pilatus, the Roman governor, two Ro-
man generals, with other distinguished
men, and Il number Of richly dressed
women, some Of whom wore brilliant
Siaras or cOrOnets upon their heads He
stared at them for few minutes and as
the tremendous throng Of people, bpt
after that he thought only of what wat
going or III the arena.
There were chariot races. and Cyril
could not help being intensely excited 10y
the mad rush Of the contending teams.
while all the thousands who looked on
shouted and raved After the races.
however, came scenes some Of which
made him shudder There were foot races
and boxing matches, but these were soon
over, and then there were contests be-
tween pairs Of swordsmen, spearmen,
clubmen, and the Ike, in which tho
fight went on until one &C the combat
ants was slain. Close upon the last OF
these duels, bands Of gladiators marched
in from opposite SIDES Of the arena end
charged each other like detachments Of
soldiers upon a real battlefield.
The fighting was furious and desper-
ate but one side was soon beaten, for
the parties had not been equal. One
party had been trained warriors, pro-
fessional cladiators, and the other only
common men, captiyes taken in recent
raid Of Pilatus' soldiers upon wild
tribe beyond the Dead sea. They were
brave enough, but they were pat there
only 10 be killed for the amusement of
the great men and Of the multitude. So
were the poor victims with whom the
days exhibition closed, for they were
driven into the arena, half armed, to
contend as best they could with Il num-
Der Of hungry lions, tigers, leoparGs and
hyenas, which were loosed upon them
from their dcns under the tiers Of seats.

try that he is stlll slive, although absent
from his former hahnts writes al article
for the November Forum entitled: "Dsn
gerous Defects of Our Electoral System"
The most striking paragraph 10 the srti-
Gle reads;
"The electoral system, which, even &C
oordlng to its original design, was never
consistent with our theory of government,
ia, in my opinion, the source Of all the
greatest dangers to which we are now
subject. It was not only inconsistent
with our theory of government, bns in
consistent with itself; for, il the people
were, in fact, incapable of selecting
president or vice president by direct
vote, they were equally incapable of BE-
lecting competent agents to perform that
duty for them"
Mr. Carlisle then supposes a lot of
cases, going back as far as 1917 for Incl
dents upon which to base his suppositions,
in which the will of the people could be
defeated under the present system OF
choosing presidents and vice presidents,
aud upon the premises so created argues
that some other and more satisfactory
method should be adopted But reading
between the lines it is easy to see that
Mr.. Oarlisle's complaint consists in the
one fact that elections are so managed
that the Democ cannot elect presl-
dent every four years regardless of what
the ajority of the voters may think.
His idea of removing the great dangers
which confront the country is to 80 ar
range affairs that John g. Carlisle can
hold nice, easy, remunerative office all
the time-no skips to be allowed
Perhaps the country is not in as much
danger of dissolution as he thinks.

PElAClC SEAL TREATY.

England refused to enter into confer
ence with the United States on the seal
ing question, for the reason that Russia
and Japan were to participate. That
refusal did not, however, prevent the COM
mlssioners of the three countries men
toned meeting and entering into tri-
partite treaty regarding pelsgic sealing,
which was signed by the members of the
commission on Saturday, and now only
awaits ratification by the United States
senate to become effective. The terms
of the treaty have not yet been made pub
lie, but one important result has been OBJ
tanned, that of putting England on the
defensive before the tribunal of European
opinion.
The result of the conference is an
agreement by all the seal breeding nations
upon the measures they deem necessary
for the preservation of the seal herds, and
England and Canada will fu1 that to
override the moral and marine forca of
three nations is an entirely different
proposition than automatically refusing
to carry out the terms of the Paris con-
ference.
1t is to be hoped that the new treaty
provides for vigorous prosecution of
Canadian poachers by the three nations
entering into the treaty. III that event
England and her poaching colonists may
be brought TO e realization of the fact
that the United States, Russia and Japan
have rights in the northern Pacific that
must be respected.

OF course it is impossible to convert tight

fronts are made but loose corsage can
be altered to suit the mode by trimming it
with horizontal bands of bias goods, of

the dress goods are pieced out to make it

is added separately and need not be cut in
