The Friendly Shadow.

By Frances Bennett Galloway.
Once upon time there grew by the
wayside sturdy oak with such wide
spreading branches, rustling leaves
and glossy acorns, that passers-by
used to look up and exclaim with ad-
miration: what magnificent tree!"
But no one ever noticed the friendly
shadow. The oak tree used to scold
until hoarse, while this quiet COM
panion would nod pleasantly in reply.
and sometimes, after the longest mon
ologue one might have suspected the
shadow was sound asleep.
The shadow. though so quiet, had a
way of entering intimately into all
ones thoughts and feelings which the
oak understood perfectly; so the oak
tree loved the shadow, and felt lonely
and dismal enough on dark days when
this friend was hidden away.
On sunshiny May morning, when
the oak was clad in downy, half-open
leaves, the shadow would come forth
as shy as any young girl, in light and
filmy dress, and every step would be
as soft as a caress over the young
grass. How different in midsummer
when the leaves were crisp and dark!
Then the shadow, grown more con-
fident, put on innumerable crimps and
frills with opulent rich gowns which
threw a velvet GOODNESS all about the
tree.
In autumn weather when red leaves
were flying fast, the shadow would
come in fluttering skirts all simmer
ing with drops of brightness, and to
and fro with jocund steps dance in per-
feet time while the oak tree and the
wind whistled measures of shrill
music together. The scene was
changed on winters night when
the moon peering between wild, dark
clouds found only few torn leaves
shivering on the oak tree and the
faithful shadow also wrapped in rags,
shivered with the tree.
One day the oak tree was cut down
and carried away. Then the little
children cried because their old play
mate, the shadow, was gone, and the
poor, tired woman with burden 20
bear sighed whenever she passed the
spot where the shadow had been, feel
ing as If she had lost some sweet
solace out of her life. The harvesters
complained loudly because there was
no shadow at noon to fan them to cool
ness, and the poor wayfarer in the
blazing sun found no resting place.
One and all lamented as II a friend
was gone when they said,
Glow we miss the shadow!"

An Elephant Tried by Court Martial,


An elephant was once court-mar-
tailed at Mhow, Central India. The
animal had been put under arrest
and charged with killing his keeper.
native soldier. 1t was found that
the native had given the elephant Of
fence by stealing some of his food
after it had been served out to him.
The elephant had caught him in the
act, and before the man could get
away the great brute put his foot on
him, then winding his trunk around
him lifted him into the air, and be-
fore anyone could stop him he dashed
the man to the ground, and killed him.
The trial was most curious. First
came the whole of the elephants be-
longing to the station in a long,
solemn procession. They formed up
in two lines on either side of the
place of punishment. The prisoner
was then marched up. Around his
neck was tremendous chain, the
ends of which were attached to the
collars of two other elephants, who
walked on either side of him. When
he reached the punishment stone his
feet were inserted into four holes and
chained. When the prisoner was thor
oughly secured. the brigade-major and
staff rode along the lines They halted
on getting within a few yards of the
elephant. The brigade-major then
produced several sheets of foolscap,
and calling the prisoner by name, babe
him give attention to what was 60
ing to be read. The major first read
out the charge; then the evidence for
and against him. At the conclusion of
the evidence the prisoner was found
guilty, and was sentenced to receive
forty-eight lashes with a chain, and
after that punishment he should for
three months draw log chained to his
leg. The corporal elephant then ap-
preached to within few feet Of the
prisoner. and a large iron chain was
placed in his trunk. At signal from
the major he commenced to fog the
prisoner. Not sound was uttered by
the other elephants, but the groans
of the prisoner as the chain descended
across his ribs were indescribable.

veins and American memories In our
minds, never intended us to esteem one
nation as good as another. At least SO
we believe, and so we know every
right-thinking man feels. He who
sneers at patriotism is unworthy Of the
country that gave him birth and nour-
ishes him from day to day. Ian Mac
laren, the famous novelist and equally
famous preacher, emphasized the truth
in noble sermon that the most ardent
patriotism is the most real cosmopolit-
anism. The highest development Of
the human race and Of the human
character is worked out, according to
him, not by making little of patriot
ism, but by each country fulfilling its
own destiny, being loyal to its own
history, and accomplishing its own
mission. Thus all countries, uniting in
one harmonious whole, shall build up
the prosperity of humanity. The
brotherhood of man is best served by
the brotherhood of the members Of one
country working for the welfare of the
citizens Of the state in which they were
born and to which their allegiance is
due.
Men who place self first, personal
friends second, party third, and country
fourth. in the order of consideration,
swell the ranks of corrupt politicians,
who are the caterpillars Of the state.
Those who place country first, party
second, personal friends third, and self
last, constitute the company of true
citizens and faithful patriots in whom
the hope Of the. state is to be found.
Which question you ask in any crises
what is best for me?" or what is
best for my country?" decides your
claim to the proud name Of patriot.
Your duty is determined by the call Of
the hour for the service that will best
promote the welfare of the country. in
the time of war it is to shoulder the
musket and march to the front against
the enemy. In the time of election 1t
is to go to the ballot-box and cast your
vote for just measures and honest men.
In all circumstances it is to pay a fair
share of the expense Of government.
Virgil wrote long ago: 1.-THE noblest
motive is the public good;" and that
country is truly happy and prosperous
where parents train their children to
manliness, self-reliance and fidelity to
the duties of the station in which they
are placed, where the schoolmaster in
stills into the minds of his pupils the
principles that shall rule we'll the des-
TIMES OF the coming generation, where
editors and preachers of the gospel
teach the people that righteous seeking
OF the common veal is nobler code
OF conduct than selfishness of policy.
such patriotism is the claimant need
of the day.

Patriotism
BY Rev. D. Sutherland,

BY Rev. D. Sutherland.
Patriotism, the love of the land In
which we were born, the pride In II,
the desire for it whenever we are alb
sent. is among the noblest of human
affections. 1t has often been observed
that man who is incapable of it Is
incapable of all high emotion. The
feeling lies deeper than any logical ex-
preston, among those pulses OF the
heart which vibrate to the sanctities OF
home and to the thoughts which leap
up from the graves Of our fathers. 1t
has the power to transfigure the least
attractive country with halo Of glory
REGULARLY it's own. Even the desert is
remembered with pleasure If it be the
place where life began. The Cretans
called it by name which indicated a
mothers love for her children. The
Ethiopian is possessed by the convic-
ton that God made his sands and des-
erts, while only angels were employed
in the making of other portions Of the
globe. Some Arabian tribes fancy that
the sun, moon and stars rise only for
them. The Maltese, isolated on a rock,
distinguish their island by the appella-
ton Of "The Flower Of the World"
and in the Carribees patriotism be-
comes so conceited that the people es-
TEEN their country paradise and
themselves alone entitled to the name
of men.
We live in days VIXEN some globe
trotters would have US believe that
patriotism is but a rudimentary pas
sion and that it passes into q higher
stage when it is merged in an affection
which they call cosmopolitanism; but
closer acquaintance with such people
reveals the fact that either In their
hearts, in spite Of all that they say,
they love their own country best, Of
else that In exchanging patriotism for
cosmopoli.anism they have lost i grea,
deal more than they have gained. The

'sThe beauty and wholesomeness of

it is a pleasant way of taking fatty

A Story of Queen wilhelm,n..

When Queen Wilhelmina, who was
recently crowned the girl ruler Of
Holland, was small child she used
to do many things that accorded with
her idea Of queenly powers, but were
not always approved by her mother
or her infant subjects. The story is
told that two Of the court children
were missed one day soon after they
had been seen playing with the infant
queen. Grave fears were entertained
that they had been kidnapped. and or
ders were about to be given the police
to search for the kidnapers, when
little Wilhelmina reluctantly confessed
that she had locked her child COM

courtyard. When asked why she did

her. and 30 she Imprisoned them fol
