100000 Fiddling Tour.
New York World.

New York World.
Jan kubelik, of Bohemia, aged -,
has just arrived in this country with
his fiddle. He is under contract to
fiddle for American and Mexican
audiences one hundred nights for
81 900 night.
This breaks all records of paying
the fiddler" Paganini, greatest of
oil violnists, never dreamed OF earn
ing 800, in one season. That
it is possible for an American mana
ger to make such a contract to-day
with the probability of clearing a
large profit on it, is symptomatic
twentieth century fact.
The world is growing larger and
smaller at the same time under the
magic influence of easy, rapid and
cheap communications. In the num-
Der of people readily reached by the
author, the actor, the musician, the
artist, it grows larger. As a place
for the explorer, the adventurer or
the fugitive to get lost in, it grows
smaller every day.

Philippine Outlook.

Congressman Diamonds inter-
view ON the Philippine situation gix=
en- to Republic representative in
San Francisco Immediately upon the
Missouri Congressman's return from
those islands, is discOuraging to the
average American.
The truth seems all too obvious
that the United States Government
has a mort embarrassing problem to
solve, and one which will require a
weary time That the Filipinos are
unfit for self-governnent is the yer.
diet contained in Judge DeArmond's
interview. The Missourian even re-
grets that they have been accorded
81 much recognition in the civil gov
ernment now established under Amer
lean control.
In Judge Diamonds expressions
one may perceive also his belief that
the Filipinos are well-nigh certain to
prove an iEsurgent people for many
years to come. This means in effect
a military government of the islands,
with little wars constantly in prog
ress.
Under such conditions the Philip.
pines will he a colonial dependency of
the United States, their population
inrevolt against American authority,
with faint prospect of a termination
OF such state OF affairs save when
the native races shall have been wip.
ed out and supplanted by American
citizens.
Expansion in the Eastern Henri
sphere with this probability in view
is a novel experiment from the Amer
lean standpoint. The only iustiaca-
ton for such an experiment is found
in the feeble hope that the final good
will outweigh the evil.-Republic.

A HARD LIFE.

1t is often said that u life of pro
figacy and debauchery is "a hard life,
and so it is but "a double life is even
harder. To pretend to be a Jealous
Christian, using frequent OppOrtunl-
ties to speak of Gods goodness and
the blessedness of serving Christ,
and yet be secretly indulging in vice,
practicing falsehOOd and malice, IS
an exceedingly hard life. 1t is hard,
because it Is very difficult for n
who pursues such u course to con-
tinue to make others believe that he
is a devoted Christian, and at the
same time keep from the light his
dark deeds. He must constantly
fear detection. Most surely, there
is nothing gained by ones acting
falsely.-Northern Christian Advo-
cate.

KNOWING THE AUTHOR.

1t is always a delight, after learn
ing to love a book or u fine, thogbt-
provoking picture, to have u chance
to meet the writer or the painter face
to face. A new light seems to be
thrown on the printed page or the
canvass-we begin to see more of
the purpose back of the work.
There is one book that we all have
on our tables or shelves. 1t contains
u series of heart-talks, spoken origin
ally to the groups that hungered and
thirsted for the Christ, and followed
him to the mourtain-tOp and lake
side, but spoken just as truly and
directly to US to-day. 1t is illus
trated by beautiful word-pictures,
parallels that glow with more and
more beauty as we study them. Do
we really know the Author OF these
heart-talks? He has invited US again
and again to come and learn of Him.
Not till we have accepted the invita-
ton, and feel that we truly know
Him, d we understand and love
that record of His words. Does it
seem u hard thing to do-to e Him
as Il bright, vivid reality? 1t is very
easy to take the first step-to tell
Him hat we will gladly follow Him.
Then, in each upward look, in every
bravely done duty or word spoken in
His name, our personal knowledge
of Him will grow. In a spiritual but
very real sense we shall know the
Author of those talks to His dis
ciples. We can read them I'VE and
over, and every now and then, with
"a flash, some new beauty will be
found in them.-YOung Peoples
