VINO the family is next door?
OUR OLD FRIEND SULLIVAN.

OUR OLD FRIEND SULLIVAN.
Now if Corbett goes to congress,
AS he says he wants to do,
If we recognize the "perfesh"
AS the boys all want us to,
While we have no row with Corbett
If we want a fighting man,
Just Il word of commentator
For our old friend Sullivan.
He's a willing handed fellow.
And a Bostonese by birth,
He's a little short on polish
But the very salt of earth,
We have honored Dewey grandly
AS a splendid fighting mar
But he never was a marker
To our old friend Sullivan.
Make him minister to Turkey,
Fit him out with four ounce gloves,
And he'll get that hundred thousand
In a half a dozen moves.
Just an upper cut and side step,
Just a swing, and when they land
Watch the Sultan come down hand
some
For our old friend Sullivan.
He's a little old and faded,
he is gray, n grand old wet
But his honest heart is youthful
And his thirst is active yet,
Make him captain in the navy,
On the water or on land
He's a whale at sinking schooners
Is III old friend Sullivan.
Hero Of a hundred battles
That were never fought in war,
He's been "shot" a thousand times,
sirs,
And he hasn't got a scar,
Not a prohibition speaker
For a thousand miles around
Has done half as much as he has
Toward putting liquor down.
Send him over to the Sultan,
He's a Musselman, John L.,
AS an envoy he would strike them
Of they didn't treat him welD,
There is not a land or country
Where as envoy he might sit,
Not a court and not a council
That he wouldn't make a hit.
International laws his hobby,
Be it law of peace or war,

Algernon Fitzclarence Gotmillions.
Married Evangelina GotroX,
Twas a function so grand
From all over the land
The friends of the pair came in 1ocks,
There were millions untold
Represented in gold
And additional millions in stocks.
E%vangelina was stunning and brilliant
Brilliant and wealthy and fair,
And she walked up the aisle
With an angelic smile,
And a million in gold for her share,
Pearl encircled her neck,
With a certified check
For a million stuck into her hair.
Her dress was a dream in fine laces,
Flounces and ruffles and frills,
With the mien of a queen
II 4 corsage of green,
Twas a network of ten dollar bills,
And her grand promenade,
All, how graceful twas made
BY her countless renearsais and drills!

And up from the door
A cool million he bore,
AS Il testimony of regard.
Then Aigernon's papa made entrance,
With a bagful Of gold made in "ile,"
And emptied it out
Mid an e~cstatic shout
From the crowd, on the altar, in style,
And Evangeline's Dad
Dumped the million he had
On the juggling and glittering pile.
There were signs, tears, shouts and ex-
Carnations,
II great organ pealed forth it's roll,
In .gilded confusion
And golden profusion
This joining of soul unto soul,
And Algernon peeled
Forth his roll and revealed
A thou as the good preachers dole.
The vows of the two hearts were
spoken
The pledges of true love were made,
The wedding was ended,
The guests were all blended
Past the altar in one promenade,
Whereby each in the unbroken
Circle some token
IN cash or preferred stocks was laid.
All me, twas a glorious function,
Love wasn't there. but the stocks
That the two slowed away
In the bank the next day,
Under seals, chains, bolts, bars, keys
and locks!
And E%vangeline cried: "I've Gotmil-

While Algernon cried: 1--WE Gotrox!"

MEWHE SHINES A STAR.

SOMEWHERE SHINES A STAR.
Mists of the twilight creep,
Creep from the deeps afar,
And all of the children of Nature sleep,
But somewhere shines a star.
Shades of the night tide flow,
Soothed the surge and swell,
Ut the sullen day, but sweet and low
Tlnkles an evening bell.
Up from the moorlands rise,
Shadows, and darkness streams,
But somewhere out of the misted skies
Brightly a beacon beams.
Eventide and dark,
Dirge of the day and knell,
But voices speak in the silence-hark!
Whispering: "All is WE'LL"
Mist of the twilight creeps
Out from the deeps afar,
Over thy life and Gladness sleeps.
But somewhere shines a star.
Shades of the night tide flow
Sorrow strikes a knell,
But out of the twilight. sweet and low,
Tlnkles an evening bell.
Up from thy Sorrows rise
Shadows, and darkness streams,
But somewhere out from the sullen
skies
Brightly a beacon CLEANS.
Eventide and dark,
Dirge of thy JOY and knell,
But voices speak in the silence-hark!
Whispering: "All is well!'
Swift as the swallows fight
Joy to the mists afar.
But out OF the depths of the dismal
night
Somewhere shines a star.

in the church. He also feels that he must
be ready TO give helpful counsel or comfort
TO those in perplexity or trouble. II he
does this. II is really all that he can be
expected to do. and he should be allowed
to accomplish 1t, unhampered by petty
criticisms of personal matters which do
not affect his usefulness. II is time that
the average COMMUNICATE should under
stand that a clergyman has some rights.
and that first and foremost among these
rights is that of the possession of his own
conscience and his own personality.
The only thing which can reasonably be
asked Of a clergyman is that he shall he
honest and consistent If he breaches ser
mons against dancing card playing. and
theatre going. he should not indulge in
these amusemeuts himself; that goes with
out saying He should not preach against
the love of money. and then go schemng
for larger salary. He should not preach
glowing sermons about the ancient mar
tyrs. and then refrain from the EXPRESSION
of his own honest convictions because it
will be disastrous TO him. And in most
cases where clergymen are not thus honest
and outspoken, it is because if they were
there would be no place for them in their
profession. In many cases 1t is a question
Of giving up the only life for which the
thinker has any training and In which he
feels that he can be useful. or of sitting
his doubts and being silent about his real
views. 1t is hard position for the aver
age man. and the congregation should be
liberal enough not to force him into it.

Chinn's Catherine de Medici.

Events in China which in ordinary
times would excite intense interest
throughout the civilized world are consid-
erably obseured by the smoke and noise of
the tragedy in South Africa. Even as it
is, public attention has been arrested by
the dethronement, if not the murder. OF
the young and unhappy Chinese Emperor
by that vicious and terrible savage, the
Empress Dowager, Isl An.
The change denotes determination on
the part of the ruling faction in China to
make final attempt to stop the encroach-
ments of modern civilization. with its
Western methods and appliances, upon the
ancient barbaric organization of the en-
pire and its society. Evidences are not
wanting that the most powerful among
the higher functionaries and influential
men of the country are in sympathy with
and are backing the hand of this Mongo-
liam murderess. The whole situation goes
to show that the epdeayors which have
been made during the past half century to
bring enlightenment to the teeming mil
lions of China, and to educate the impe-
rial government into something worthy to
be called that of State, have been simply
wasted.
This is true to such an extent that it
would seem about time for the great civil
lied powers TO forego the farce OF main
tanning formal diplomatic relations with
such a tribe of savages; and that the best
thing that could happen for the world and
for the unfortunate people of Chinese
Asia would be the partition of the empire
among the states of Europe. Isl An and
her butchering mandarins are no more to
be considered in the matter than would be
an equal number of Malays running
amuck. The Empress Dowager, together
with her counsel, deserve the halter for
any one of thousand crimes committed
by them Jointly and severally. and they
should all get IT.
We do not think it would be well for the
United States to become a party bene-
fciary in the partition. All we probably
would care to ask would be guarantees
that the open door would be maintained
for the benefit of our commerce. That be-
ing arranged, we should be glad to see
the Chinese Empire, with its stupidity,
ignorance. and crime, disappear forever
from the political map of the world.

A great deal has been said in ridicule OF
the late John Ruskin's theories of political
economy, and also his theories of art; but
at any rate no one en- say Of him that he
was mere theorist, unwilling to make
sacrifices TO prove his faith in his ideas.
Most of his fortune was spent in the pur-
suance OF various enterprises founded on
what he regarded as the only just and cor
rect laws for the conduct of business. and
he retained for his own use only an income
OF 1880 year. on which, he said gen
tleman ought to be able to live.
The trouble with Ruskin's theories was
that they were in advance of his time. often
30 far in advance that they seemed i'm
possible of fulfillment But it is interest
ing to note that the intelligent public is
gradually coming around to some of them,
though more or less unconsciously, as in
the case in all great movements.
Some forty or fifty years ago much Joy
full ado was made over the sudden progress
OF invention in various mechanical bust
nesses All sorts of things we're made
more sbundantly and cheaply than ever
before. II was the time OF veneers.
chrome Autographs. and machine made
things of all kinds, which replaced the old
handwork. This was called progress, and
we have not quite gotten rid Of that idea
Of progress yet. The theory, SO far as
was always better than plain surface.
and imitation fnery better than simple
but genuine article. The great middle
class was waking up TO the possibility of
discarding its old limitations. An Eng
lishman would perhaps say that the trades
people we're dreaming that they might be
gentlefolk. The grocer, the carpenter, the
wheelwright, had ambitions for his son
and daughter above those which his father
had entertained for him. The wife OF the
mechanic found that she could buy vel
vet and silk-Of a sort whereas her mother
could only afford homespun. The result OF
all this was a glorious confusion of really
beautiful things, bad limitations, and
mixture OF designs and traditions which
was frankly hideous. This sort Of thing

ture of Ruskin and he moral aspect OF
the Imitation theory" as 1t might be
called. was TO him quite as uncomfortable
Hence his feryid denunciations OF some OF
the manners and customs of his time,
mixed most ccriousiy with thunderings
against actual vice and criminal abuse Of
power. One case in particular may serve
10 illustrate this.
A wroughi-lron forco. six feet high. was

two or three feet from the wall. This was
considered by the perverted taste Of that
time TO be an adornment. Ruskin took that
fence and metaphorically brandishei it
aloft for the derision of the nation. He
pointed out the fact that it served no posi-
lie useful purpose-and in architecture the
useless is rarely beautiful. He then men
toned the likelihood that the average
English citizen would fill the space be-
tween fence and wall with banana skins,
cigar ends. torn paper. and other rubbish.
which would be hard to dislodge and a
continual eyesore to the passer-by. Final
ly. he reminded his readers that enough
hard work had been put into the fence by
the mechanic. miner. laborer. and de-
signer TO make a really usefu, and beauti
ful article, and that, in short, the peoples
money had been dishonesty spent in estab-
fishing a nuisance. Nowadays We are COM
ing to see that such a contention is just;
that money spent for public buildings
should be so expended as to educate the
esthetic taste of the people, and that ugly
things are just as expensive as those which
are artistic.
If Ruskin had had his way, the humblest
laborer should have owned furniture and
utensils as beautiful in their way as these
in the possession of the rich the girls of
England. whether rich or poor, should
have had the fullest opportunities to de-
velop womanly, wise, and beautiful char
acter At time when "womans sphere"
was resolutely narrowed down to very linn
tied space, he advocated such an education
of girls as should make household duties
delightful, and household work artistic en-
rloyment. He believed that no cleverness,
no depth of feeling, no wisdom was too
great for use in the home. His whole
teaching was only an expCunding OF that
saying of Keats that beauty is truth, and
truth is beauty. Perhaps, as nations adj
vance in civilization, we shall find the two
things are, indeed, absolutely one.
