German editors are charging with presumption because some papers have gone far to accuse the Kaiser of insolence in attempting to dictate the policy to be followed in the Philippines, where it is none of his business. They should remember that in this country the divine right of kings is regarded as royal bluff and the divine right of expressing opinion something that cannot be taken away. If any American papers have rebuked Germany they can put forward the excellent excuse that Germany needed 1t.

A roNTE CARLO TRAGEDY.
An Incident Which Made Bismark al
Tnvatarota EnA,,v - f>.~t,4.

An Incident Which Made Blsmark an
Inveterate Enemy to Gambling.
Prince Bismaik has long been an
inveterate enemy to the wholesale
system of gambling, which is "pre-
served" as it were, at Monte Carlo
and similar establishments on the
continent.
His antipathy is due to tragedy
which was enacted under his yerv
eyes at Baden Baden more than 80
years ago. During the season at
that place, which wss of more than
average brilliancy, be would himself
go into one of the gambling saloons,
which Was frequented by the highest
aristocracy and the members of the
diplomatic corps. Although he
played little be would occasionally
venture small sums. If he won, he
would venture his original stake
again and again, but if he lost at the
drst coup be retired from the table.
One day while Bismark was stand
ing at table young man and
beautiful woman came in. He was
baron and had only recently mar
ried and was on bis wedding trip
with his bride. The man began to
play. At first fortune favored him,
and he won.
Then his luck turned. He began
to lose. With each loss he became
more desperate. The beautiful wo.
man by bis side vainly strove to tear
him away. The fever OF gambling
had taken hold OF his brain. TIE
more the woman besought the more
the man yentured. Hundreds Of
francs grew into thousands, and
thousands after thousands were
raked in by the croupier.
The whole table was watching this
fighter with fortune, and among
them no one was more intent than
Bismark himself.
At last the gambler put larger
stake than ever on the table, and
again he lost.
He rose and whispered a word to
bis wife, and they left the room to.
gether.
Nobody in the gambling saloon
heeds the ruined man, and the game
went on as before, less feverishly
perhaps and without such large
etakes.
Suddenly, without q moments
warning, the report of q pistol rang
through the room. Some people
hurried out. There on the ground
lay the body of the ruined man, a
bullet wound in his head, from which
thin stream of blood was flowing.
BY the side of the body, distracted,
almost turned to stone by the horri
BILE situation, stood the beautiful
young wife, now widow.
Suddenly her restrained feelings
overcame her, and with one wild
shrek she fell by the side of the
dead man. Bismark was one of the
onlookers who had seen the result OF
the fearful tragedy.
"This horrible business muststop,"
he exclaimed.
1t did stop. In the course OF a
few years every public gambling
house in Germany was abolished

Subject, Jesus Crucifed.n Matt.
81 +: 1856. Golden Text am
He that liveth, and was dead; anil,
behold. | am alive for evermore. y
Rev. /: IS.
Jesus was stripped, mock cloth
ing put on Him, and a crown OF
thorns on His head, and q reed in
His right hand; then they Knocked
Him, and spit on Him, and struck
Him on the head with the reed, and
led Him TO Gelotho.
The women wept for:Him, but He
said, Daughters of Jerusalem, weep
not for Me, but weep for yourselves
and your children"
There His enemies crucified Him
between two thieves, and sitting
down they watched Him there; and
set up over His head His accusation
written, "This Is Jesus The King of
The Jews
Then they reviled Him, but He
said, "Father, forgive them; for
they know not what to do" And
the chief priests said more truly
than they believed, ale saved 9TH
ers: Himself He cannot save"
And one of the thieves said to
Him, "I.ord. remember me when
Thou contest into Thy Kingdom"
and He answered, "verily I say
unto thee, today shalt thou be with
Me in Paradise"
There was darkness over the
whole land from noon until three
o'clock, and Jesus said, at is fin-
ished.' Father, into Thy hands /
commend Ny SPIRIT and yielded
up His life."
Then the vail of the temple was
rent in the midst, and the earth did
quake, and the graves were opened,
and many bodies of the saints arose.
And when the centurion that put
Him to death saw these things,
he said, "Truly this was the Son of
God" and the people smote their
breasts and returned.
And all His acquaintance stood
afar off looking on; and angels no
doubt looked on, they that excel in
strength, that do His command
ments, hearkening unto the voice of
His word.
These Scriptures were fulfilled !:
she was numbered with the trans
gressors. "They parted My gar.
ments among them, and upon My
yesture did they cast lots" IA
bone Of Him shall not be broken"
"They shall look on Him whom they
pierced" HE made His grave
with the wicked and with the rich in
His death.'
To make sure of His death, a col.
der pierced His side with a spear,
and blood and water flowed out.
Then Joseph and Nicodemus took
His body, and buried it in a new
tomb hewn out of rock.
As none of us can trace our ances-
try back to this time, we do not
know but that We are the children
of those who put Him to death. But
we do know that "He was wounded
for our transgressions, He was bruis-
ed for our iniquities the chatise-
ment of our peace was upon
Him; and by His stripes we are
healed. :. And the Lord hath laid
in Him the iniquity of US ALL"
How we should hide His word in
our hearts lest we sin against Him,
for that word says we may cruelty
Him afresh, and put Him to an open
shame.
"Now unto Him that loved US,
and loosed us from our sins in His
own blood. :. to him be glory and
dominion for ever and ever. Amen.n

EASILY GIVEN,

1t was only sunny smile,
And little it cost in the giving:
But it scattered the night
Like morning light,
And made the day worth living.
Through life's duh warp wool it woye
In shining colors Of light and love;
And the angels smiled as they watched
above,
Yet little it cost in giving.
1t was only a kindly word,
And word that was lightly spoken:
Yet not in vain,
For it stilled the pain
OF heart that was nearly broken.
1t strengthened fate beset by fears,
And cropping biindly through mists Of
tears
For light to brighten the coming years,
Although it was lightly spoken.
1t was only helping hand,
And 1t seemed of little availing;
But its clasp was warm,
And it saved from harm
brother whose strength was falling.
Its touch was tender as angels wings,
But it rolled the stone from the hidden
springs.
And pointed the way to higher things,
Though 1t seemed Of little availing.
A smile, a word, or o touch,
And each is easily given,
Yet either may win
a soul from sin,
Or smooth the way to heaven.
A smile may tighten the failing heart,
A word may soften pains keenest smart,
A touch may lead us from sin apart
How easily either is given.
