reference to the fact that he had CONGRESS

with novel power that he thought himself
a demigod. In offering that arrogant com

What, we should like to know. is the
function Of Congress in our affairs if 1t

of his position, is the servant of the peo-
which the people voice their feelings

legislative branch cannot be trusted TO deal
with the situation now confronting us. then
our whole political establishment is alb
surd and vicious, and every denunciation
heaped upon II from European sources is
sustained. There may be faults in our
Constitution. 1t is conceivable that the
matter could have be.n arranged more wise
~ a century ago; but If any people can
by any possibility be trusted to govern
themselves, the American people can be
trusted. If they cannot. then none can; and
the sooner we demonstrate this fact the
sooner Will the civilized world be enabled
To reform its conceptions and its schemes
of action. 1t is our belief, however, that.
in this country and in this age, public
sentiment can be confidently left TO deal
with the problems of the day. 1t is our
opinion that the country Will be safer, so
far as concerns its dignity and honor and
material advancement. if the people. through
their representatives, be charged with a
solution of our difficulties.
That is what the founders Of the Union
contemplated. That is what we have for
a century declared as our hope and pride,
As we see the matter, the Nation should
feel safer while Congress is in session. In
our belief Congress represents the liberty,
the strength and the enlightenment OF l1ls

No one rule Of action will suit all
persons, or all circumstances, alike
Silence is as important an agency of
expression as speech. The a adjustment
of rests in music is no less a part Of the
musicians art than the mathematics
of harmony is a part of his science.
The great William, Prince Of Orange,
says Motley, was "a man who, in pri
vate, was the most efable, Cheerful
and delightful of companions, ard who
on a thousand public occasions was to
prove himself, both by pen and speech,
the mCs5 eloquent man of his age"
And yet, in spite of ell this, he was
known as The Silent" This surname
he earned from the manner in which
he received certain communications
from Henry II Of France, without re-
vealing to that monarch by word or
look the enormous blunder which
Henry had committed ia revealing to
him his infamous plot Of murder.
Williams purpose vas fixed from
that hour" says Motely. Tnis was in
truth the silence of an eloquent man
It was a silence which the king did not
read, but which in time the world
came to read as elcquence so great as
to entitle him to be forever named
William the 81 eat, instead of William
the Orator. We all have our mission
in life. No one rule covers the mode
of it's best accomplishment. Some
times we ought to speak when it is
hard to speak, and sometimes we ought
to keep silent when silence is difficult.
Sometimes we ought to be up and do
ing, and again we ought to cit still and
wait. He who prescribes for himself
an invariable rule of action will often
undo the good that he has done, or fail
to do the good that he ought to do

SOME THOUGHTS FOR REX AND
OTHERS.

DEAR AUNT JENNIE:-I am almost
ashamed to call at this late date, but
after telling my reason for such long
silence probably you will forgive me.
I have never known the care of chill
dren until within the last six months,
and I find it quite a long lesson to learn
and one not 10 easily learned either.
I have been reading Aunt Jennie'S
good letters and also the other letters,
and have thought many times /
would write. So I have just decided to
take a chance, and not wait for a
chance to come to me-.
l will say a few words on the subject
of love, as that seems to be the chlsf
topic for dis 3u ssion. In spite OF the
statements Of Rex and others God cid
not expect IS to marry without 1--we.
No doubt there are a great many mar
RACES without love but they are not
apt to be happy ones. One of my
dearest friends, a young lady aOoQt
my age married a man about nine

she did not know it until they were
married. She only lived with him
about two years when she lost her
mind and is 10 y in the insane asylum.
Her mother and all her friends and all
who know them believe il was only
the lack of a husbands love that ruined
her life. Now, dear girls. take warn
ing from this and if you don't love
man, or il you have the least idea he
does not love you, for heavens cake
never marry him. If you should be
