preached on socialism. If socialism pre-
vailed, he said the world would be- In
utter confusion and the liberty and rights
Of man reversed. Its whole basis, he de-
clared, Is denial of the right of pri-
vate ownership.
According to the socialists" the arch
bishop said" the entire state Is to be a
beehive. In this beehive there Is to be
no room for drones. All must work and
all must fare alike. You must suppose
that those who were formerly lazy and
shiftless and irresponsible have suddenly.
by some magic, transferred themselves
into ideal, Industrious workers - all this,
I say, you must suppose if you are going
to embrace socialism"
Socialists claim that the present evil
state of things can be set right by di-
viding property, but, he said some men
must work. some men must employ and
some must be employed.
again, socialism does not promote fra
ternity. Christianity alone can do that;
but socialism is not Christianity. All
the leaders of socialism from time i'm
memorial have been opposed to Chris
tianity"

whereupon Alexander fell into a fit Of
fury and loaded the officer with insult.

assigned to the national capital. The
medical examiner diagnosed his malady
as nothing more serious than homesick-
ness and the application was refused,
whereupon the disappointed lieutenant
wrote a pleading letter to an influential
friend in Washington. The latter, call

transfer as a personal favor, and the
secretary courteously promised to grant
the request. .s 20

rang for messenger, whom he dis
patched for Captain Macarthur. To that

after a few minutes elaboration he
said:

to the secretary, who was confident that
whatever Captain MacArthur's plan
might be it. would be carried out without
a hitch.
How Macarthur managed it," adds
the officer who tells the story, ''Overcom-
ing all opposition, and that without the
slightest delay and without the formal
authority of the secretary of war, can
be understood only by those who know
his infiexible will and his unusual grace

Arthur himself ever learned just how 1t
was accomplished, but six days later the
officer from Texas Smilingly turned up

THE CARS CRUEL FATHER
Nicholas Strong Contrast to His
Haughty Predecessor.

The czar Is q curious contrast to his
father, and the peasants of Denmark
who used to gaze with admiring awe on
the huge Alexander Ill, can scarcely
understand that the slight boyish figure
which is so overshadowed by their own
tall old king can indeed be that of the
great White car himself. In dispositssn
and in attainments. as we'll as In bodily
presence, the son differs strangely from
the father. Alexander was very I'M
educated man. His elder brother, Mich
olas, had been carefully taught and
framed, but his death. at the age of q,
placed Alexander in the position Of heir
to the throne, and he was then too old to
learn. He was a thorough Romanoff,
imperious and naughty. The one person
with whom he was gentle was his wife,
whom he treated to the last as though
she were a pet child. To his underlings
