Aud LIGHT on the Little Minister.
Westminster RevieW.)

There was a performance of 1.-The
Little Minister" by Mr.. Ben Greet's
company in Kirriemuir, which is
Thrums, the other evening. The hall
was crowded and the audience included
quite a number of the venerable wor-
thies of the type that figures in Mr..
present. His views on the drama may
be gathered from what he said to the
Glasgow News representative:
"A caricature, sir" he remarked; "a
gross caricature. AS a work O. art it
has great defecks-wha, for instance,
ever heard O. or saw a wumman like
Babbie? The things ridiculous. But

THE ONE SERIOUS CHARGE

The charge that plural marriages are
being solemnized in violation of the
state constitution is not a charge
against Democrat; it is not a charge
against candidate; it is not a charge
against any individual 1t is a serious
charge against whole people, against
a church and its officials.
1t is no excuse to exonerate the old
men of the church by placing the blame
upon the younger ones. If the practice
of solemnizing plural marriages is still
going on, as contemporary declares
that it is, the leading officials of the
organization must know of it; they are
responsible, anyhow.
The insinuation that Mormon elders
are performing such forbidden ceremo-
MES in defiance of the law, reflects up
on almost the entire male membership
Of the church.
No elder has the right to solemnize
a marriage except when contracting
parties have a license, duly procured,
which authorizes him to perform the
ceremony.
This covert charge against the elders
of the dominant church is serious ana
sweeping. They owe it to themselves,
to the church and to the state, to de-
mand an immediate investigation.

THE HERO OF THE FIRE.

CAPTAIN A. J. White was the hero of
the San Francisco fire yesterday. He
saved three lives and lost his own. He
could have saved himself, but he saw
three helpless women clinging to the
cornice of the fifth story. One by one
he lowered them with rope he had.
and it burned in two while he was de-
scending, dashing him to death on the
pavement below, at the very feet of the
women he had rescued.
Heroism is not all in war. In the ex-
element Of a conflict, when men are
struggling for supremacy, the timid be-
come aggressive, the coward, even, will
become affected by sounds or symbols,
and follow the colors of his regiment
into the very jaws of death. The SOL
der takes from the mass sort Of panic
courage, and the charge becomes a
stampede of needless and determined
men.
But when a man, escaping from an
awful death with the means of ESCAPE
at his disposal, when all are fleeing,
when the panic is one of fright, when
the only inspiration he catches from
his fellows is to seek for safety, and
still he pauses to do an errand of mercy,
though every moment is fraught with
danger. and the tongues of death are
licking at his garments, he is the high
est type of hero.
No martial music cheered on that
hero of the San Francisco fire. No in
fectious bravery took temporary pos
session Of his heart. His courage was
Unborn. majestic in its solitude, grand,
almost beyond conception.

A Cyclonic Cure.
Detroit Free Press.)


Did the climate out there benefit
your asthma?" asked a man on the
boulevard OF his next door neighbor,
who has just returned from a new re-
sort in the northwest.
Say, it makes me short of breath to
think about it. was sitting out in a
sort of an arbor the first afternoon
after 1 reached there. l was in the
shadow of a trailing vine, through
which the sunbeams sifted in mellow
light. The air was balmy and freighted
with the odor of roses
Must have been delightful"
Simply charming! Suddenly there
was a sort of gigantic zip athwart the
heavens, darkness enveloped the earth
like q pail, and before 1 could cover
three rods to the hotel on the dead run
there were six inches of snow on the
ground. l never put in a wheeler
night than the one that followed
Mighty sudden, wasn't it?"
Yes; but that's the way things go
out there. One morning L started to
the nearest town, carrying a twig of
cherry blossoms and wearing a white
tennis suit. Out on the trail it turned
cold quicker than you could wink your
eye, and [ would have frozen if a ma
tive hadn't wrapped me up in a horse
blanket, big wire nail serving as a
shaWl-pin.''
Got through all right, did you?"
Yes; proVidentially. A cyclone
struck me, turned the blanket inside
out and blew me for a mile l don't
know what did it, but I'm free from
asthma"

THANKSGIVING THOUGHTS.

Thanksgiving day, as an American
institution, is a legacy from the Purl-
tan founders of the commonwealth. The
old-fashioned observance of the day
was poem of homecoming and rellg-
ious worship. 1t was characteristic of
republican simplicity But the Puritan
has gone, and with him his fasts and
feasts, his rigid customs and cere-
monies.
Thanksgiving is no longer a religious
day. Its creedal connection has worn
away. It belongs alike to the Christian,
the Jew, the Buddhist and every one
. who believes in the reasonableness OF
prayer. It belongs to the infidel and
the agnostic too, for it is day OF rest
and recreation, a time for the renewal
of kinship and friendship, a season for
the enjoyment of home life. 1t belongs
to this republic, which is without
creed itself, and tolerant Of all religions
as such.
AS an annual holiday regularly recog-
nized by the chief executives of the ma
ton and the several states, Thanksgiv-
ing began in the gloom and turmoil of
war. It arose from fraternal strife,
ssnctified by humiliation ana prayer,
consecrated by the tears of women and
the blood Of heroes.
When the crisis came VITA the con-
vulsion of continent, and the sections
were arrayed against each other, two
mighty voices challenged the breath
less attention of the world. One was
the awful voice Of war, the sound Of
battle, the clash of swords, the roar Of
cannon, the shouts of men, the means
of women. The other was the voice of
Lincoln calling to the nation to pause
and pray. The people heard and knelt.
That morning and that evening We're
the first Thanksgiving day in the per-
manent calendar Of our national holi-
days.
It is a symbol of reunion: a day for
meetings after long partings; for the
ciasping of the hands of brothers; for
the gladdening OF dear old hearts at
home; for all the memories that cluster
about the hearthstone-the memories
that blossom round the souls of duty
and affection. or cling like ivy to the
ruins Of humanity.
It is a day Of benevolence. 1t recurs
at a time when nature is unbarring the
portals Of winter, when want begins
to SILVER in the icy blast, and charity
finds her greatest work to do. In the
not too distant future it may come to
pass, and how noble it will seem, if, at
set of sun on some Thanksgiving day,
it can be said: IN all this land there
is not one shivering form, one hungry
mouth, one famished little child. For
this day they must be thankful. Over
its enduring beauty the radiance of
sweet charity is shed.
