En- Avant.

A courier is a man employed by
well-tO-dO travellers TO go before and
find out the truth. In olden times he
was sent by the general of one army
to the commanding general OF the
other army to ask truce, to offer
terms which might pre- vent blOOdshed,
or to arrange compromise of one
kind or another. 1t was courier who
was sent to Cleopatra to announce
the marriage Of Anthony. The cour-
ier goes before and carries the news,
and though he be struck dead for it,
like Cleopatra's courier, he must tell
the truth. The truth is often brutal
aud society has not much use for it..
Society only uses the beautiful. gentle
things. Truth is rude and careless OF
its own effect. But messenger who
goes before to find out actual condi-
tions must, in all simplicity, report
only the truth, for that is why he is
employed. "He goes before" and has
a first sight Of the conditions which
will later confront the party which
has employed him. The godfather Of
''rhe Courier" hoped that the paper
would always contain a report from
one WHO, through the foresight OF his
employers, is sent before to investi-
gate conditions which will affect the
main body, arriving later. For report
ing unpleasant truths Cleopatra's

A Primitive People.

One OF the morning sessions of the
Dunkards, at their recent meeting in
this city. was devoted to a discus.
sion of whether or not women should
ride bicycles. By an overwhelming
majority it was decided that for
females to ride bicycles is contrary TO
the teachings Of their religion. 1t is
Of course unfair for an outsider, one
who is unfamiliar with the connec.
tion between bicycles and their arti.
cles OF faith, to criticise such discus
sion; but to an outsider it is incred.
ible that at this period of time, two
thousand men should spend three
hours and half solemnly discussing
the prOpriety Of the farmers wives
riding bicycles instead of the tired
horses to town, or TO pay visits to
their neighbors. The arguments for
and against the proposition were
unique. Their point of view is that
OF the middle ages. There is only one
man in Lincoln who could understand
and alphabetically report the meet
ing and that is Bixby of the Journal,
but he was writing 'poetry" at the
time, and could not be spared.
The Dunkards were here in very
large numbers. They bought grocer
les and produce, they bought railroad
tickets and as they do not disapprove
of strong drink, they bought whiskey
and beer. They also bought the news
papers, which printed accounts of
their meetings. Therefore in the
newspapers the Dunkards were char
acterized as wise men, desirable as
citizens, etc. Actually they are OF
slow development. The bright and
prospective youngsters born into
Dunkard households, leave their peo-
pie as soon as they find out the rela-
tive position of the sect to the rest of
the world.

sideration than it deserves. 1t is
quoted as an authority when it merits
no more credence than the report or
opinion Of any other man. Yet among
the large corps Of reporters there is
always at least one who is distin-
guished for his accuracy and discre-
tion. The city editor waits for his
report before forming a conclusion
upon a complicated and disputed situ-
alton. The newspaper which cares
more for truth than for brilliancy or
sensational speed in getting the news
to the public, will, in time, succeed to
the first place in the confidence of the
public. By the travail of conscience,
by an obstinate adherence to the prin-
ciples accepted in youth, is such dis
tinction won. Rigid adherence to a
chosen regime is called pig headed

when they succeed the citizens OF the

play is not blow, rage directed. but
the immediate adoption OF tactics

entente between the two cities would
quicken the mutual appreciation OF

the Sunday they were in Lincoln,
with difficulty preserved faces solemn
or sober enough for the sanctuary.
They roared like the old-time timer
ant preacher. they mispronounced
words. they assaulted the language by
disregarding its structure, they mixed
metaphors, and they were entirely
unconscious of their comic efforts.
That they are really living several
centuries ago is indicated by their
obliviOusness to the effect OF their
discourse upon their audiences. The
Dunkard preachers might just as we'll
have been in a trance so far as Obser-
walton Of the condition Of the audi
ence was concerned. A sensitive.
modern preacher Immediately realizes
the effect his address is having. II he
finds that he is firing over the heads
of his audience, he adjusts his sermon
so that it will hit something. A
preacher of gumption never fires into
the air. Like gunners at sea finding
the range Of the big guns, the first
few shots may he scattering and hit
nothing. 1t was the chief character
istic Of Henry Ward Beecber that
after a few passes at an audience, he
knew its range and every period told.
The Dunkard preachers did what Mr..
Beecher could not do: preach to an
audience for an hour and a half with
out receiving sign Of response or
agreement. Before such an audience.
if Mr.. Beecher ever addressed unre-
sponsive hearers, he would have lee.
tured but fifteen minutes, for he had
learned the value Of time.
A thoughtless dweller in this cen
fury frequently expresses the wish
that he could return to previous
one or live over to another one.
The memory of the Dunkard preach.
ers teaches US that the ordinary man
can speak only to his own generation.
He is not on speaking terms with any
other. OF course there are a few men

lete. And with a barrier of an I'M

So that as matter of fact Shakspere

another reason why the church going
habit is losing strength. An intelligent
man does not care to trust his only free
forenoon in the week to chance.
Americans especially dread being
bored, and an experience, like the one
l am discussing, will have such de-
terrent effect upon man that he will
not recover from it for weeks. His
pastor will ascribe it to Indifference
of religion and to the things of the
spirit, when it is only repugnance
to being bored, and the memory of a

studies. Mr.. Wells stories are to the
standard novels as vaudeville is 10
the stage. Vaudeville performance
amuse when they are clever. They
make no demand on the sympathy.
no especial demand on the attention.
Tired men and women who wish mere
ly. to be amused enjoy Mr.. Wells
works, and will not agree with any
adverse criticism Of item. But the
day of marvels is past forever. Mrs.
Eddy and the prophet Dowie have
established religion and have at
tracted and attached to themselves
number of disciples. There are peo-
pie who believe that Mr.. Wells stories
Of the men in the moon are true, and
that his investigations were conduct
ed, as the story says they were. name
ly by two men who invented an alum
mum sphere that they steered into
the moon. They found that the in,
habitants Of the moon are little men
who have the appearance Of big in
sects. They are covered by shiny
breastplates like the shards Of insects.
Their faces are hard and shiny too.
They have eyes and an opening for
the nose and mouth, but the effect is
Of a mask rather than of sensitive,
mobile, human face. The face of an
insect is inexpensive; the metallic
plates, which protect the face from
injury, never wrinkle into expression;
the eyes. seated behind immovable
lids, are monotonously and DULY
fixed on this object or that. The in
sect men of the moon, Mr.. Wells fam
cies, retain their insect origin as We
retain the aspect and habits Of our
quadrupedal ancestry. Having estab-
lished q proposition or analogy, Mr..
Wells developes it consistently. The
details are interesting and fit exactly
into the tale. So that il he is not
consistent with truth he is with him
self. Tie story is profusely illustrated
by E. Herring, an artist Of unusual
graphic power. A daring magma
ton, comic touch, delicate, unem-
phasized satire found in these Illus
tratiOns impart character to the
marvels related by the author that
is otherwise lacking. Mr.. Wells
is not particularly happy in de-
scriptions Of machinery, Tut he is
much addicted to these descriptions,
and if it were not for Mr.. Hering's
pencil the story would make a con-
fused impression on readers. The
author may have a clear concept Of
the lunar machinery he describes. but
until the artist draws it, it is like
visitors first view Of carpet manu-
factOry-a confused mass of belts,
wheels, and in visible things that whir.
Nevertheless Mr.. Wells Imagination
has strong pinions that carry him
wherever his prediction for the
shoreless empyrean directs. His
flights occasionally weary those who
have elected to follow him with their
eyes, but he himself never falters nor
shows any effect Of the influence OF
the laws Of gravitatiOn which still
control those who watch him and
attempt. lamely, to review his flight.
Flying machines are no nearer perfec.
