Mans life is one long struggle, not
the bright and glittering path we pict-

tury, should make progress for we have
the good of all previous ages. Some
of us will be unsuccessful in our efforts
and will be soon forgotten, others will
be successful and will live on forever
in the memory of future generations.
She then spoke of the religious ad-
vancement the world had made since

compliment to her success as a scholar,
her average being 50 and fraction per

| In her opening remarks she referred
to the expectations of the class for the
future, the difficulties they would meet
and the success they hoped to attain.
She urged them to concentrate their en-
ergies upon one ideal II they hoped to
become successful Talents without
concentration are talents wasted. 1t

To be successful three things are ne

truth to purpose, without them we can
not reach our ideal. Therefore take as

Peter and His Dog.
BY M. w EMERSON

Copyright 1900: Daily Story Pub Coz
Two brutes lay together under a
tree in Franklin Park. 1t was mid
night The moon, at full, shone fair
on the face of the greater brute;
bloated as it was, and disfigured by a
recent blow from some brother
brawler. Half asleep, he drooled at
the mouth like a baby, and murmured
now and then, half-conscious words of
bcozy affection to the lesser brute
crouching beside him, wide-eyed and
watchful, lest evil come to his evil
master
He was white, spotted, lean with
munger, SCARED all over and lacking
an ear, minus all the toes on one foot
and given to iimping-this lesser
brute His tail was forgotten mem
DRY; not enough was left of it to wag.
He was somewhat ferocious at times,
In matters which concerned his Mas
ter He had nothing to be thankful
for, or grateful to, in that Master, but
he had been born in his house, had
owed to him shelter. His mother had
been a shepherd, his father a blooded
bulldog trained fighter; whereby
had come to him tenacity of pur-
pose. faithfulness to duty, a cour-
age and a devotion which the greater
brutes of the world might well emu
late.
The other brute was not the only
booZer abroad. Three ill-smelling
swaggerers came through the park,
pursuing a woman who fed before
them and took refuge in the shadow
of the tree under which the two brutes
lay. The dog sprang to his feet with
growl which quickly became a bark
of delight. He evidently knew the
woman, who fed away from the shad-

PeckS Millennium.

The future historian will note
as one of the most conspicuous
features of the close of the nineteenth
century the innumerable projects of re-
formers to expedite better conditions
among men. After examining the sys-
TENS of Marx, Most, Henry George and
Bellamy he will, perhaps, light upon
that just set forth by Mr.. Peck of Lew
iston, Me-, which is beginning to at
tract the attention of those who are
engaged in the pleasant task of hur-
rying up the millennium.
Mr.. Peck is the owner of a large for
tune. His scheme is a far-reaching
one; nothing less, in fact, than the
organization of huge trust which
will absorb the government of the
United States and administer it so as
to abolish vice, ignorance and poverty.

When Ethelyn Leslie Huston, whose
philosophic writings on social evolu-
ton and kindred topics are attracting
wide attention, was a wee bit of child
she was precocious in nearly every
thing Above all, she was devoted
lover of books, the deeper the range of
thought suggested, the more suited to
her tastes. She had a habit of reason
ing out little deficiencies in the human
character that used to drive the older
folks nearly to distraction She was
eternally '.treading on the corns'' of
nearly everyone with whom she came
in contact Just after she left a Ne
braska college, at eighteen, she took it
into her head to censure certain of the
clergy for their narrowness of view
Her first article on that subject ap-
peared in a Cleveland paper. 1t was
widely copied, and from that day, Miss

with in the world of protest-a quaati-
ty the magnitude of which has steadily
increased. Today she has few, if any
peers among defenders of individual
independence of thought in moral and
religious matters. Her stories and ar
ticles now running in many American
publications, being happily attuned to
her philosophy, are in great demand.
Mrs. Huston was born in Toronto.

tan. While living in Idaho, her ex-

Roseberrv,s Daring 8Iu9

It is related of Lord Rosebery that
he once arranged to meet friend at
country railroad station, the two in
tending to travel in the same direc-
ton. The train arrived, but his friend
was still over half a mile ay,though
his carriage could be seen coming as
fast as the horses could gallop. Lord
Rosebery vainly entreated the station
master to hold the train for a few min
utes, and as last resort sat down on
the rails in front of the engine, refus-
ing to bulge until his friend was on
the platform.

fell to licking the hands of the man
