All we demand on behalf of a

In open violation of the neutrali.
ty laws this country has persis-

use of the British army. not only
supplies but horses and mules in
vast numbers. This violation
was brought before the Federal
Court of New Orleans. and, be-
cause of the influence that was
brought to bear on him from
Washington. the presiding judge
threw the case out of court, pro-
nouncing it an exective matter
rather than a question for the
Judiciary. That decision was
contrary TO the facts and the Sec
retary of state dare not declare
the reverse.

A Milwaukee divine tells this story
q himself:
In a celebrated Eastern theological
seminary it is, or was, the practice of
the faculty TO require the students to
take turns in delivering sermons, a
custom, by the way to which, as a
rule, the young aspirants for eccle-
siastical honors did not take kindly.
Among those who attended the
school was a young man who now oc-
cupies the pulpit of a well-known
Methodist church on the East Side,
who. however, formed an exception 10
the rule above mentioned,
In the course of time it came his
turn to speak He prepared his dis
course with great care, and when Sun
day arrived he acquitted himself
handsomely, everyone present listen

tion.

of the professors mounted the rostruia
and announced the hymn:

"GLORY" OF A TITLE.
Americans Love the Distinction as Much
as Any Foreigner

as Amy Foreigner.
1t is interesting to note how the title
that any member of an American fami-
ly may acquire sheds its luster over the
whole family. They all bask in its
misunderstanding that a title sheds
radiance and in spite of the fact that 1t
only too often does not. A titles a
title for a that, seems to be the para
phrase among some of Uncle Sans cit
liens, says the New York Sun. The
fact that a Philadelphia girl who mar
ried the other day had beauty, money
and position seemed to be of small
moment. Her parents, even, were
scarcely mentioned in the newspaper
reports of the wedding. All other con-
siderations were eclipsed by the other
fact that her sister had married titled
foreigner, and not very big title at
that. In every published account the
bride was described not as daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. -" but as the isis
ter of the Countess -" The fact
that the marriage of this same coun-
tess sister turned out most unhappily
and that, finding it impossible to live
with her husband, she was some years
ago obliged to get legal separation
counts for nothing. The titles the
| thing.

always seemed funny to him to see her

Tempestuous," he said. "Of course. I'm
delighted over your anxiety for my
