The Boston Globe comes very near stating fact when it asserts that "lib. erty" is the most loosely employed term in the English language. The Globe quotes approvinsly from a speech delivered in the senate by the late Senator Davis of Minnesota, in which the Globe says he rebuked the selfishness masQuerading under the name of liberty in the following terms:
 People prate about liberty, and de- fine that liberty as the liberty of the particular c ass they are speaking for The only liberty worth having in this country is the equal liberty Of all men alike Liberty in it's philosophical and common-sense definition consists in that right of each individual to exer- else the greatest freedom of action up to, and not beyond. that point where it impinges upon the like exercise of freedom of action of every other man. Beyond that it is the destruction of the liberty of the weak by the stronger, a subversion of the very theory of the republic. c.''-Detroit Free Press.

 they'd do better, anyhow. There was place in town, he knew, where they changed tan shoes to black, and he told the man with the odd shoes where this was, as nearly as he could remem- per, giving him at the same time a sum sufficient to enable him to get the shoes mated up in color; not much was required, because there was here only half pair to be treated. Clearly the man with the shoes was pleased.

COURTESY AT HOME.
Too Much License Accorded to Ameri'

can Children.
 ] When we read of court functions in foreign lands We notice that prece- sdcnce is thing determined by arbi- trarv laws. and should we spend a season in Washington we would learn 9that there are certain conventional a71Ies which govern society, and which cannot be violated by any one, from the lowest to the highest, says Good Housekeeping. Precedence is an an- omalv in the simple life of the ordi- nary home yet it is an open question whether, the cheerful contentment of fhe simplest household would not be increased if there were more formality in the daily intercourse of parents and children. Politeness would prevent much friction, for it is inconsistent with polteness to squabble, to say dis agreeable things, to be brutally candid. Perhaps We do not half consider how much politeness saves us from as we go about among our friends. In home conversation precedence as to right of way should be with the elders. Father
 
 sisters, guests, should be allowed to express themselves and little people should not be suffered either to inter- supt. or to carry on their talk i'll a high key so that the older persons can hardly hear themselves speak. One finds ill otherwise well-bred circles an amazing license accorded to the chil- ,lren. in their continual breaking in with queries or with information about their own matters. nobody taking mo- tice that they are learning to trample on others by the practice of speaking first and speaking loudest. When mother comes into a room, Hubert and Harriet should see that she has q chair can think of nothing ruder than the figure of a girl of say 1G, 12 or 13 years, calmly ensconeed in the most comfortable chair in the house, while her mother, or her father for that matter. looks about in vain for as desirable q seat.

nal warning him to turn back, or,
on the other hand, as a call to ex-

ditch; another will take it with n
rush. One will give up Sunday

they have been too much for him:
another will resolutely set himself
to win those boys, and no change in
himself is too radical, no labor too

TREMENDOUS FORCE.
Power Of the Electric Current Ca
bIed From Niagara TO Buffalo.

OIeO from NluSuTu W buhuios
To look upon the cables Of the trans
mission lines that extent all the way
from Niagara Falls to Buffalo one fails
to get any idea Of the power Of the
force that is being transmitted by these
conductors. The cables hang like any
other cables; drawn taut. there is no
swaying in the wind. They stretch from
pole to pole for mile otter mile, but
throughout their entire length there Is
nothing that gives an intimation Of the
wonderful work they are doing. L. B.
Stillwell. who has been prominently
connected with the Niagara develop
ment, points out that the power that
Is so silently and invisibly transmitted
along the six copper conductors, less
than one inch in diameter, would easily
break six steel cables Of equal diameter
moving at a rate of 10 miles an hour.
Such is the wonderful force Of the
electric current from Niagara of which
