Gradually the Anglo-Saxon race IS K
tending and has extended until it covers
half the globe, and with greater posi-
bilities comes greater responsibilities.
Washington, Webster, Gladstone and all
the great statesmen Of the past have
nobly fulfilled their mission, but others

Character Analysis"
AS a society satirist, Trackerey holds
first place, in the portrayal of behavior;
Dickens is foremost, but as a delineator
Of the motives which determine charac-

Tito started with every advantage Of
beauty, wit and manner, with but one
er-growing fault, selfishness; faithless
to his old father. faithless to his pro-
tector. Band; faithless to his sweetheart,
Romola; faithless to his country; he at
last reaDed in a violent and ignominous
death at the hands of Baldasari, the
rightful harvest of his deeds.
Tito failed by his disregard of duty and
love of ease and pleasure. Sowing treach-

lives, has or does experience that inner
