The Maize i'm the PuIpit

From the Boston TravelerD
1t is noticeable that many of our lead
ing preachers yesterday took the loss OF
the Maine as the text for their sermons.
and while mcn of peace, they talked
war. Not hastily and rashly: not with
the lingo spirit of which America and
Americans are accused Of loving so dear
ly. but with the calm determination of
patriotic citizens.
II may be called sensational preach
ing; ii may be called pandering to the
popular taste. but those who speak thus
are not true American citizens. Love of
God and love of country go hand i'm hand
Our ministers are teachers of the public.
II is fitting, therefore, at crisis which
involves our national honor they should
speak, and speak boldly their opinion.
They can be trusted to take the right
side when patriotic, not partisan, ques-
tons are involved.
James Russell Lowell ridiculed this idea
in his ''Bigeiow Papers" He remarked
that he thought Christ was against war
and pillage. which is very true. So is
everyone who has a spark of humanity
in him. but i'm this ur-Christlixe world il
is necessary TO right wrongs by force
Thus was slavery driven from our land.
and by force will Spain be forced to free
Cuba.

on. What Theodore Parker did i'm his
generation another may 90 equally well

Captain sigshee's Versatile Talent.

tFrom the Philadelphia Tines
One day in the spring of 1915 when the
Daily Graphic, of New York, was in
the full swing of its meteoric career. a
understanding young man called at the
art department of the paper. at its Park
place Offices, with a package of sketches.
The drawings were left for inspection.
and the artist handing his address in
Brooklyn to the assistant of the art
editor, took his departure. The avail
ability of the work was manifest as soon
as the package was opened. and a comic
series from the lot was reproduced at
once for the front page. Their appear

was all the staff knew about 1t. until
there was a general showing about of
work desks to make room ''for Mr.. Siss-

funny drawings continue.

COT NTERFEIT MONEY AFIOAT
A Woman Disposes OF Spu rious Coin
to Conductors

The woman in black" has again APP
peared i'm Washington with counter felt
half and quarter dollars Some time
ago she operated on the Metropolitan
electric cars and passed a good deal of
counterfeit money. The police were no.
tilted, but failed to catch her. Then
an employe of the railroad followed her
one day to the Baltimore and Potomac
station, but the policeman declined to
arrest her, as the man had no warrant
She boarded train and left town. She
has shifted her operations to the Sew
enth street cable cars. where yesterday
she got rid of a large quantity of spu-
rious coin. 1t was not discovered until
late last night. and a report was then
sent TO police headquarters. The wo-
man is described as being Of medium
size and neatly dressed in black. Her
faNorite plan is To request the change
OF either a quarter or half dollar.

Notes Of the Day.

1t would be an insult to the intelligence
and patriotism Of Tie American people
even To hint this morning that any doubt
could exist as To what they intend to do.
When we say they" we do not necessa-
riIy include the Administration. All illu-
sions have been swept away 10y the hor-
rible truth II is within the boundaries
of possibility that the Spanish Council Of
State might be also. II appears that a
great outrage against the people ana the
dignity of America has been deliberately
concealed by our authorities. There is
hardly any room for doubt that Gen.
Lee. several days ago. reported that the
Spanish admiralty officers, under orders
from the palace. had compelled the
Maine to shift ground and take a new
position I'm the harbor three hours before
the accident" The change placed our
battleship in the position prepared by our
ally FOR that purpose. and the result
everyone knows.

The Queens Own En- g lis h

ttfOfn the London News
If Goblet were alive he could still crit
icise the English grammar of the speech
prepared for the sovereign at the OPEN
ing of Parliament. The Queen adopts
this speech at her council on the advice
of her ministers. and 1t is then given to
Parliament as 'her'l own words 1t is
important to observe that the president of
the council and the minister who last
saw the Queen. at Osborne in reference
to the speech read yesterday is also the
head of the Education Department. Is
there an inspector of schools under him
who would pass a reference to expendi-
ture which is beyond former prece-
dent?"
A question in English grammar might
be set in the schools from the following
sentences: "A portion of the Afridi
tribes have not yet accepted the terms
offered to them. but elsewhere the opera
tons have been brought to a successful
close" The question would be: What is
the term in opposition to 'elsewhere?'
In the reference to Crete we read: 1.-THE
difficulty of arriving at an unanimous
agreement upon some points has unduly
protracted their deliberations chat is, the
deliberations of the powers), but 1 hope
that these obstacles will before long be
surmounted." What obstacles? As 1.-The
difficulty is the subject in this sentence
that obstacle would appear to be the
appropriate phrase.
Observe also IAN unanimous agree
ment" In the days when our grandfath-
ers spoke of things being pecooiar or
ooniique the rule that the indefinite ar
ticle comes before the vowel sound ap-
piled; but as in these days Unanimous"
is not pronounced oonanimous but you
unanimous, the IAN" before the word is
an determination in speech and in writing
but lamely defended, like certain
rhymes, as satisfying to the eye although
offending the ear. AS for the literary
style of speech, it is not likely to be
used as model in the secondary schools.

His example is worthy of all imitation.

fering humanity. as he gave himself un-
selfishly to the relief and comfort of his

cheer TO those who needed sympathy, his
memory must be ever fragrant and help
full. Therefore, be it

Iowa Philosophy.

Where is the thrill of last nights fear?
Where is the stain of last nights tear?
Where is the tooth that ached last year?
Gone where the lost pins go to.
For last nights riddle is all made plain,
The sunshine laughs at the long-lost rain,
The tooth that ached hath lost is pain
That's what our troubles grow to.
We can stand the smart of yesterday;
Todays worse ills we can drive away;
What was and what is bring no dismay
For past and present sorrows.
But the burdens that make us groan and
sweat,
The troubles that make us fume and fret
Are the things that haven't happened yet,
The pins that We'll find tomorrow.
