Harold Frederic's Encounter WIKI
Lordly Prussian Lieutenant.
Harold Frsderic's self confidence and
power cf dominating strangers stood
him in good stead in one Of his first
visits-if not his very first visit-to
Berlin. Tie incident as he related 1t
seemed natpra! encagh TO an American
aos brought up in awe Of military
caste, bat to those who knew Germany
It was almost surprising that he came
through it with his life. He had been
paying some formal diplomatic calls,
and in the evening dropped in at the
Cafe Bauer in the uuwonted glory OF
frock coat and tall silk hat. This hat
was carefully hung on hat stand. and
Frederic sat down to read an English
newspa per just arrived.
Enter particularly fine specimen OF
the lieutenant, booted and spurred and
sworded and epauletted. He brushed
against tie tat stand knocked Frederic's
hat over into the sawdlst and swag-
gered to his seat without so much as
looking around. The slight to the hat
was more than Frederic could endure.
In towering passion be went to the
lieutenant, stood over him and pointed
to the object on the floor "Pick up
that hat, sir!' he roared. The officer
stared amazed; the walters were par
alyzed with terror at hearing one so
much more than human SO addressed
by civilian. "Pick up that hat!" re-
peated Frederic in tone more menao.
ing than before. And the lieutenant did
what he was told He was as irreslsti-
bly, dominated by the courage and force
of the man as q schoolboy before bis
master, or perhaps he thought Frederic
carried the customary west American
revolver Saturday Review.

Entirely too Liberal.

Henry Ward Beecher was very
"liberal' preach r. His liberality often
went to a point which subjected him to
severe criticism. He was the first ia
nous preacher in this country to pro:
claim evolution as the true theory OF
the creation, the first to deny the pie
nary inspiration of the Scriptures. The
Plymouth church congregation was
therefore educated to what is called
liberal preaching, but it seems that in
Mr.. Beechers successor Plymouth
church found too strong dose of new
tangled Interpretation of the gospel.
One of DR.. Lyman Abbott's theories,
says the Atlanta journal, is that it is
not necessary to believe in the divinity
of Christ in order to be Christian.
He preached creedless religion so per-
sistently that even Plymouth church
finally rebelled The dissatisfaction
with DR.. Abbott's ministry became so
pronounced that be felt called upon
to resign. His resignation was prompt
ly accepted, and the church is now
looking for a pastor. 1t is probable
that the next one it accepts will be a
man who will preach the gospel and
treat Christ as something more than a
man. "The old time religion" still has
a strong hold even on persons who are
accustomed to preaching Of the Lyman
Abbott variety. Such preaching is not
calculated to make men and women
better. 1t gives little hope for the fu-
ture and no consolation for the trials
and sorrows of this life. There is lit
orally no use for it.

SENATOR HELM.
How a Change from Frigid to Torrid
Zone Feels.

Ex-senator c. l. Helm is one man
who does not appreciate or feel the
present cold snap. For several days
he has been suffering almost intensely
from the excessive heat The cause
for this is natural. In fact few men
would attempt or could possibly carry
out what Mr. Helm is now experience
ing. Two months ago he was in a eli
mate 60 degrees below zero. Now he
has it 20 and more above. This is a
range of at least 100 points in a very
short time.
"Oh, it's all right I guess" says the
senator, loosely. Pretty tough on a
tender foot like me- you know, but I
am little hard and guess l can make
out. Yes, l suffer from the heat. When
man settles back in a cold climate to
spend the winter his blood hardens.
For the past month | have gone
through a thawing process, and now
feel like a person just leaving a room
in the refrigerator for the engine de-
partment.
Then, you know, had I not left the
Klondike, | would not have had the
novelty again of going over the trail
in the spring. 1t is my intention to be
with the rush there as soon as the ice
breaks up
