the lad that they had to sit up with the sick
man. Tuesday night they went out to visit
neighbor, and explained that they were

had to put plaster on the sick mans back

youth, ''is the sick man in much pain?"
Every much, my SON. 'And is he pretty
near dead?" Yes, he's in bad shape" The
lad thought deeply for awhile, and then re-
marked: well, papa, he cant die any
too soon to suit me.'-Memphis Scimitar.

We wanted it; but. to tell the truth, Law

Nine Calve tells this story on her
self: when I went to the Theater de la
Monnaie in Brussels in 1881, 1 made my
debut as Marguerite. My second per-
Torrance was to be Cherubino. At that
time I was very slight. My neck and
arms were thin, and So of course, were
my legs. I did not think I could pos
sibly appear in breeches without some
thing to make me look a little plumper.
So L went to the customer of the thea
ter and told him 1 wanted some pads.
He made them according to his own ideas
of what beautiful legs should be, and
sent them to me so late that I had no
time to try them on. I don't know what
I must have looked like when 1 stepped
on the stage. thin and girlish from the
waist up, but provided with the most
enormous calves. After the first act the
manager rushed around to my dressing
room. My heavensn he exclaimed,
where In the world did you get those

I admitted that they were not. and said
L thought l was too thin to dispense
with pads. Don't you know he said
to me. that young girl with straight.
slender legs is far better suited to the
part of a page than when she disfgures
herself with such things as those? Take
off the pads and go out in your own legs.
I decided to follow his advice. When I
came on the stage again 1 was thin, but
at least symmetrical. The effect on the
audience was startling. l seemed to see
the people in the theater craning their
necks to discover what had happened to
change me so. The conductor of the or

received by his hearers both in church

received by his hearers both in church
and hall with much favor.
How Is this to be explained? The doc
trines of Thomas Jefferson, which won
for that great man the reputation among
his contemporaries Of an atheist, a red
republican of the French revolutionary
type and generally a man of violent pur-
poses with reference to tie peace and
order OF society, seem to have been
specially acceptable to Dr. Bliss and his
audiences. He denounced corruption in
politics, and warned his hearers that 1t
might end in the ruin of republican gov
eminent. and he inveighed against money
as the be-all and end-all of human en-
deavor, as the idol of American worship
He urged opinions which are distinctively
state socialistic and assumed RESPONSE
bility for the remarkable statement that
were Jesus to come on earth today he
would in all proba bilIty join a carpenters
union.
How does it happen that such Views,
CSpSSAdliS Oll llAC Ups VI q SuIASlldh
clergyman, are accepted with favor by
those who may be said to represent the
two opposite poles of our social system?
The answer is really not difficult. Social
problems are receiving much thought
from the mass of the American people.
Any great political question which Is able
to secure their attention will be found to
involve social changes of more or less
far-reaching consequences. And they are
in advance, far In advance, of those who
affect to enlighten them on such subjects.
This particular clergyman only repre-
sents one expression of the great move
ment which Is daily drawing the men Of
the churches and the offices to the side
of the men of the bench and the ma
chine shop, and which at the present
hour awaits an effective opportunity to put
an end not only to such forms Of public
corruption and robbery as have been
brought into view in the recent Montana
senatorial election, but also that which
is represented by the huge organized con-
spiracies, misnamed trusts, which are
now directed toward robbing the COM
monwealth of it's substance for the greed
of a few of its members The man,
whether he be a politician, a business
man or a clergyman, who refuses to see
the disposition among the people to ac-
cept advanced views of their rights with
reference to their control of the sources
of public wealth, and to make common
cause among themselves against all So
cial and economic wrong and inequality,
Is quite likely to discover that he over
looks the most marked tendencies of our
time.

THE PEOPLE ADVANCING

A few days ago a Chicago clergyman
appeared in this city, and spoke from one
or two of our leading pulpits. He also
addressed a gathering of our people call
ed together under the auspices Of the
local churches and the local labor or
CARNATIONS to discuss matters Of indus
trial interest and concern. That clergy
man spoke very plainly on many of the
subjects which most clergymen do not
conceive to come within the scope Of their
legitimate consideration. He/ did nor
come as an interloper, and he appeared
to be welcomed generally by the ministers
of St. Paul.
1t was evidently the mission of this
gentleman to propagate his views on 80
cial questions for the benefit of the men,
bers Of the various church organizations
with whom he might come in contact. He
was spoken of in the local press as DR..
D. w. P. Bliss, president of the Social
Reform union.
1t Is not necessary to state with any
particularly the class Of opinions to
which the Rev. Mr. Bliss gave currency
while in the city. It is sufficient and not
an exaggeration, to say of them that,
even spoken under the shadow of the
church, many of the expressed views
Of that gentleman would be certain, ten
or fifteen years ago, to be characterized
by the average conservative nan in busi
ness life as anarchistic. thsven those
Of the opinions of this gentkman that
might have been so characterized were
