pREsENr-DAy THOUGHTS.
BY @. eRosvENoR DAVE.

wonder whether any of us really I'M
derstand what we mean by "freedom Of
thought. We boast about it and regard
1t as precious heritage, from the fathers
who fought for it. but to what extent do
we understand it? Possibly a great deal
as far as we ourselves are concerned.
Our ideas go soaring away in this di-
rection and in that, until we are thrilled
with rejoicing at being able to think on
great subjects and puzzle out great plans
for ourselves and the world around us.
But when it relates TO the other man with
thoughts at variance from our own, then
where is our glorying in freedom? / tell
you tyranny turks very near to great
hearts; for they are on fire with enthusi-
asm and SO concentrated in their efforts
that they cannot brook the idea OF there
being any side but their side to a ques-
ton. Yet surely one mans right to think
carries with it the right for all to think
unhinderedly.
The way to down error of thought Is not
by denying 1t the right to exist, but by
treating 1t with sweet reasona bleness.
Thought never did harm to any land. 1t
is like measles, harmless II allowed on the
surface but exceedingly dangerous II
forced to "set inn. The man whose free
dom to think as he chooses is denied him,
has within him the seed OF revolution and
the last end Of the repressor Is worse than
the arst. Instead Of less freedom let us
have more OF it, particularly in our great
cities, and thus many q noxious influence
will be made harmless because Of its free
dom, and because its strength is not
aroused by opposition. Martyrs to re-
strained thought are dangerous storm
centres.
Culture OF the head alone is disastrous
in its effects; 1t either makes a man mere
scrap-bag of odds and ends OF knowledge,
or a supercilious cur who looks down on
the rest Of ns as Philistines and ou:castts,
or it turns man into a ponderous nui-
sance who needs must air knowledge and
awe listeners on every possible occasion.
You know all three kinds-so do 1. There
is in my memory at this moment the
picture OF an awkward Iout, who, by
reason OF college education, knows
the most extraordinary details about
languages, ancient and modern, but can
not succeed in doing anything higher
than write addresses for pittance Of less
than IS per week.

Lowell In England.

In 1882 somebody told me in London the
Vile, the Foreign Minister, had sent him.
Lord Granville, in a friendly note, asked
him to dinner, saying at the same time
that he knew how foolish it was to give
such short notice "to the most engaged
man In London. Lowell replied that
''the most engaged man is glad to dine
with the most engaging.
Lowell was not only the minister from
the people; he was messenger to the
people. And he had sense enough and
hist orical knowledge enough to know
that since there has been an America on
the western side Of the Atlantic, the
English peopie-the rank and file-have
been in sympathy with the thought and
feeling and purposes OF that American
people.
When my broth her Charles was in Lon
don in 1868, and the English government
WAS acting on the whole, Ms badly as it
dared toward the United States, men,
Der of he cabinet said to him one day,
''the ciu bs are against you, Mr.. Hale, but
the people Of England are with you"
This was true then; it was true in the
American revolutions; 1t was true in
Cromweii's time-he has no title which
il more sure than that of the "Friend
OF New England. The same thing is
true to-day.
Now, Lowell never said to himself, go
to, | viii address myself to the people OF
Great Britain" or THE people of Great
Britain is one thing, and the clubs OF
London another" But because he was
I he msn he was, he was always glad to

pie aud ist them really know what

giggling row in the semi darkness, while
the energetic young man was going up
and down the line empanting vigorous
kisses on their features and bestowing
ambitious hugs on various favorites in
the ranks. An hour later Willie was hev-

The Average Man.

When 1t comes to a question OF trusting
Yourself to the risks of the road.
When the thing is the sharing OF burdens.
The lifting the heft of load,
I'm the hour of peril or trial,
In the hour you meet as you can,
You may safely depend on the wisdom
And skill of the average man.
IT'S the average man and no other
Who does his plain duty each day,
The small thing his wage is for doing,
On the commonplace bit of the way.
IT'S the average man, may God bless him,
Who pilots us still In the van,
Over land, over sea, as we travel,
just the plain, hardy, average man.
So on through the days of existence,
All mingling in shadow and shine,
We may count on the every day hero.
Whom haply the gods may divine,
But who wears the swarth CRIME of his calling
And labors anu earns as he can,
And stands at the last with the noDlest
The commonplace average man.
