Lutheran minister of the same place,
and the pleadings set forth the follow
ing state of facts: Mr.. and Mrs. Hal
verson have a son of tender years. The
former desired that the boy should be
called oscar. after the present mon
arch of Mr.. Halverson's fatherland.
Mrs. Halverson dislikes the name of
Oscar and was determined that the
baby should not be burdened there
with. Mr.. and Mrs. Halverson took the
baby to the clergyman to be christened.
Mr.. Halverson requested the minis
ter to name the child Oscar, but Mrs.
Halverson had already talked the rev.
erend gentleman over, and to Mr.. Hal
versons surprise and indignation the
boy was christened not Oscar, but
something else, whereby Mr.. Halverson
suffered serious disappointment, loss of
authority in his household, laceration
of feelings, etc, for which he prays
damages. The clergyman's defence is
that he christened the child in accord
ance with the wishes of its mother
whose rights in the premises he con-
sidered paramount. The case brings
up novel question in Jurisprudence
the decision of which will be regarded
with interest in thousands of families
throughout the land.

CONSISTENCY.

There is always something touching in
the resignation shown
When men bear their country's burdens
all forgetful cf their own,
1t seems a little less than martyrdom-
the way that they explain
That, though the salary is small, they
are not here for gain.
There isn't any doubling that man is
truly great
When he'll slight his private business to
accept a place of STATE,
Let not the scoffer dare his light disdain-
ful voice TO raise,
That patriot never falters in self-sacrl-
ficing ways.
And as the weary years pass on you'll
find him ready Ctill
To give the nations service all his energy
and skill
He claims no reciprocity He very seldom
cares
To slight a public Office for his personal
affairs. Washington Star.

that n great deal of poor trash was

The emperor, while the greatest liv-
ing composer of poetry, writes largely
upon one theme-the glory of women
and the bravery of the japanese men,
who go forth to war with the images
of their sweethearts and mothers in
their hearts. One of his principal
themes is the Empress Jingu, who was
Japanese warrior before the time
Of Christ. She conquered Korea and
hurried home to have her child born
on Japanese soil. She named him
Hachiman, and he is now worshiped
