So long as privileges are inherited In
stead of won by merit; SO long as the
beauty and Joy and helpfulness of our
later civilization are denied to one and
given to another for no reason except
birth so long as perfectly proper hui
man aspirations to eat and live and be
decent are crushed out beneath social
tyranny that arrogates the power OF
God and says to the rising desires OF
the human heart, "Thus far and NO
farther ;" just so long will Europe have
to deal with the anarchistic miasma
that rises for blind slaughter; for, to
the misguided, government will seem
to mean that the interests of the many
are subordinated to the advantage O.

WHAT SAVED THE ONLY MAN ON
 THE TRAIN

He was the only man on the train who was not glowering with black looks over the pacific news in the morning papers, He did not even un- fold the sheet in his hand. or as much as glance at the double-column head as 1t lay face upward on his knee. Instead he gazed with unseeing eyes out of the window and whistled softly with a time broken now and then by smile that crossed his bearded lips.
 The girl directly opposite thought him handsome, and ascribed his pre- occupied air to romantic reason. And the older woman who sat with her glanced sharply across from time to time to see what the young man meant by rudely whistling in public con- veyance. But the looks of youth and age were alike lost on him, and after a while he turned his face toward the light and sang with such hearty un- tunefulness that his spectacled neigh Dor felt bound to remonstrate.
 Young man, she said, grimly, "have you hired this car for your own use?"
 He stared at her blankly minute and then flushed to the roots of his hair.
 'Was-was I singing?' he questioned, shame-facedly.
 You were making horrible noise!'' she replied, tartly. Then he laughed a wholesome, honest guffaw, and leaned forward confidentially.
 "The jokes on me" he owned. "Tell the truth, my baby has just cut a tooth and-I was thinking how cunning the little chap would look when he grinned!"
 The war light faded in the woman's eye, and a smile touched the corners of her mouth as she beamed on the young father and questioned with deep interest:

A KIPLING ANECDOTE.

Rudyard Kipling and General Booth
OF the Salvation Army sailed away
from Southampton on the same day
recently, which recalls the fact that
some years ago, when people first be-
gan to talk about Kipling, the young
author was fellow passenger of the
general on a steamship, and in a spirit
of fun he offered to conduct General
Booth to some reporters, who board
ed the boat, supposing they had come
to interview the general. "Oh, we've
seen Booth before" said the reporters,
the man we want to see is Kipling."
