Iamartine,s Wife

IFrom the London Chronicle.1
Iamartine's barber, d certain NJ. Isopy,
is still alive. He is just ninety-two, and
his greatest delight is to talk of his hero.
He treasures up a faded daguerreotype
of the sentimental politician, who, hav
ing been the dominant figure in France,
died in obscurity. NJ 4sopy's shop was
the favorite gathering place of the celeb
rites of 4S. 1t is probable that M. de
Isamartine, who used to summon his hair
dresser to Macon, employed him as an
einissary in those turbulent days. 1t is
pleasing to know from such authority
that Lamartine was the inventor of gen
ufne bears grease from Russia - and that
this unguent was the cause of the poets

CHATTER ".

Pursuing the plan he had originally
mapped out when he came to Milton,
he spent much Of his time in the after
moons studying the social and civic life
Of the town. AS the first Sunday Of
the next month drew near, when he
was to speak again on the attitude Of
Christ to some aspect Of modern socie-
ty. he determined to select the saloon
as one of the prominent features Of
modern life that would naturally be
noticed by Christ and doubtless be de-
nouIced by him as n great evil.
In his study of the saloon question he
did thing which he had never done
before, and then only after very much
delberation and prayer. He went into
the saloons themselves on different oc-
casions. He had never done such a
thing before. He wanted to know from
actual knowledge what sort Of places
the saloons were. What he saw after
dozen visits to as many different
groggeries added fuel to the flame Of
Indignation that burned already hot in
him. The sight Of the vast army Of
men turning into beasts In these dens
created in him loathing and a hatred
of the whole iniquitous institution that
language failed to express. He won
dered with unspeakable astonishment
in his soul that n civilized community
In the nineteenth century would toler
ate for one moment the public sale of
an article that led, on the confession Of
society itself, to countless crimes
against the law Of the land and Of God.
His indignant astonishment deepened
yet more, if that were possible, when
he found that the license of $500 a
year for each saloon was used by the
town to support the public school sys-
TEN. That, to Philips mind, was an
awful sarcasm on Christian clviliza-
tion. 1t seemed to him like selling a
taking the money from the sale to help
the widow to purchase mourning. 1t
was full as CHASTITY as that would be.
He went to see some Of the other
ministers, hoping to unite them In a
combined attack on the saloon power.
1t seemed to him that IL the church as
a whole entered the crusade against
the saloon it could be driven out even
from Milton, where it had been SO long
established. To his surprise, he found
the other churches unwilling to unite
in public battle against whisky men.
Several of the ministers openly de-
Tended license as the only practicable
method Of dealing with the saloon. All
of them confessedit was evil, and only
evil, but under the circumstances
thought it would do little good to agi-
tate the subject. Philip came away
from several interviews with the min
listers sad and sick Mt heart.
He approached several of the promi-
nent men in the town, hoping to enlist
some Of them In the fight against the

shows that you are not yet acquainted

All the time Philip was talking his
manner was that Of dignified indigna-
ton. His anger was never coarse or
vulgar. Rut when he was reused. as
he was now. he spoke with total dis
regard for all coming consequences.
For the time being he felt as perhaps
one Of the old Hebrew prophets used to
feel when the flame Of inspired wrath
burned up in the soul Of the messenger
Of God.
The man who sat opposite was com.
PEELED to keep silent until Philip had
said what he had to say. 1t was i'm
possible for him to interrupt. Also it
was out of the question that a man
like Mr.. Winter should understand n
nature like that Of Philip Strong. He
was white to the lips with passion and
so excited that his hands trembled and
his voice shook as he replied to Philip:
You shall answer for these insults,
sir. withdraw my church pledge, and
you will see whether the business men
in the church will sustain such preach
ing" And Mr.. Winter flung himself
out OF the study and down stairs, for
getting to take his hat, which he had
carried up with him. Philip caught it
up and went down stairs with it.
reaching him just as he was going out
Of the front door. He said simply,
you forgot your hat, sir" Mr.. Winter
took 1t without a word and went out,
slamming the door hard behind him.
Philip turned around, and there stood
his wife. Her face was very anxious.
'Tell me all about it, Philip" she
said. Sunday evening they had talked
over the fact Of Mr.. Winters walking
