RELIGION OF ~SOVEREIGNS.
Few Who Have Occupied the
Thrones of Europe Have
Been PfOus.

I Kings are rarely pious, though they
are still more rarely unbelievers. There
have been plenty of bad men upon
European thrones, and the lives of few
kings will bear study through an eth
ical microscope, but we can recall only
one. King Frederick the Great of Prus-
STA, who was a scotfing unbeliever, says
the London Spectator. He even sneered
at the British ambassador for saying
that he would do something or other
by "the help of God" and asked. with
his nose in the air. whether the Eng
lish counted God among their allies.
"Ies, your majesty" was the crushing
reply. land the only ally who asks no
subsidy from u.s." The temper dis
played in Frederick's jest is. however,
most unusual among sovereigns. and
though when they win victories they
are often accused of hypocrisy for pub
licly protesting their belief hat God
rules all, and it is more probable, in
spite of their usual conduct, that the
profession has been sincere.
Many sinners believe, and sovereigns,
who perceive so plainly the compleXi-
ty of human affairs. and the powerless-
ness even of the greatest to control
events. must feel more than any men
the necessity for aid and guidance from
some power higher than themselves.
Who else is to give success to plans
which are so large that foresight fails.
and orders must constantly be given
the future effect of which it is impos-
sible to know? 1t is certain. at all
events. that they all say so, and we see
no reason for supposing that they are
all liars. or are only going through a
form. On the contrary, the loneliness
of sovereigns. who all. however much
advised, think that they govern. their
consciousness of a separate position,
and their belief that when all is said
they must bear rule by some special
permission. and therefore must have
some peculiar relation to the Most
High, all tend to make them at least
strongly convinced theists.

GOLD TIMBER O
An Old Attorney Whose Love of Satire

Attorney Wood. popularity known as
Old Timber Wood. lie had been chris

Old Timber Wood was Il unique and

he was stung to fury and promptly
punished the offense. Man: a fine had
the attorney been subjected to for
his incautious witticims. Being in a
constant state of impecuniosity. he in
variably applied TO the judge himself
for money to pay these assessments,
a favor which was never refused. the
fact thai he must humble himself to
ask it sufficiently restoring his hon-

a thirsty habit. and frequently left

On n occasion. very shortly after

which he had finally avenged his in
suited dignity in the usual way. he
abruptly called Wood 10 the bench
and started down the aisle. Wood
hastily slipped into his place and be-

"Gentlemen. before proceeding further
with the .ase the court wishes to in

Millions.

"At the farthest end of the long,
narrow room. over in a corner by a
window, in the Chemical bank, New
York, Hetty Green, The Richest Wom-
an in America has her DESK" writes
Leigh Mitchell Hodges, in Ladies'
Home journal. "When the dozens Of
bookkeepers come and take their
places they form a human screen, be-
hind which she is completely hidden.
When anyone calls to see her-and she
sees most of those who do call-she
comes to the brass grating near the
assistant cashiers desk and carries
on the conversation as il she were a
prisoner behind golden bars. She
never opens the little door. All day
long she is IN and cut of the bank.
Sometimes she carries 4 little satchel
in which valuable papers are slowed.
Frequently she is recognized by one in
the long line of depositors. Then
there is a whispered word on the part
of that one, and a line of heads is
turned to watch her until she walks
out of the door. But her plain dress
and heavy veil serve well their pur-
pose, and it is not often that she in
recognized. II she has time at noon
she stops in any restaurant convenient
to where she is and hurriedly eats .
little. There is no lull in her day I'M
til after dark. She is always among
the last to leave the bank. and among

Rev. W. G. Archer, business manager

of an old lady in Thornton home who
had but 500 in the world, the income
from which is six dollars. Out of this
income she gives one dollar a year to
the endowment of Lincoln university.
1t is refreshing to find a case of con-
sistency where money is at stake. The
Haines Gauge company of Philadelphia
declines to furnish apparatus for the
ships of the United States navy on the
ground that the proprietors are men,
bers of the Society of Friends and are
opposed to war. This is the first case
of the kind on record.
The report of the churches in the
Chicago presbytery, just issued. gives
a total church membership of 20,349,
n decrease of s14 on last years report.
This is said to be due to a severe prun-
ing of the rolls. The money raised for
missionary and philanthropic purposes
during the year amounted to S559,243,
compared with $5as,53S the previous
year.
The Outlook says that a stronger
morality is beginning to inspire Eng

the pleasant Sunday afternoon move
ment, started II years ago but such

to induce the churches to take up the
study of social problems.
There is no wholesome and sensible

Archbishop Temple. of Canterbury,
