Office Hours Of Reed.

Hon. Thomas b. Reed goes to Maine
occasionally and occupies his summer
home near Old Orchard Beach during
the warm months. He has become SO
much in demand in New York that he
is often asked if he intends to become
a permanent resident of the city. The
way he parties the question is inter-
testing.

friends, that the financial Importance

Children Must laugh.

The sense of humor Is variable

erence to race. individual and society.
If your little boy fails to respond with
his tribute of childish merriment to
your parental joke, that, depressing Us
at times 1t must be to you, does not
seem to me Il matter about which to lie
awake nights, because, after all, dear
Brutus, the fault may not be so much
with the child as with the joke! If,
however, little n. or NJ, as his cate
chlsmal name may be, never makes his
own small childish jests, never plays
foolish tricks upon you, ut which, by
the same token, he expects you to
laugh; If he never Is mirthful, instinct
with joyousness, with natural gayety
of heart and the sunshine of vigorous
young animal life and spirits-then in
deed, his condition Is abnormal, or his
environments all wrong, and you must
find n speedy way to put him into a
natural and smiling rapport with life
For laughter as a mere outlet for ami
NAL spirits Is natural to man.
Playfulness we share with our furred
and feathered brethren, but the audible
expression of mirth is monopolized by
man, the least natural of all the ami
mails. 1t helps to dilferentiate him
from the lower level of the monkey; II

LOVE FOR THE BRUTE.

1873 IY is 1t that the surgeon who

cially ignored? asks James
| Creelman, the veteran war correspond
ent who writes of THE Man in Uni
form in the Pilgrim. No man who has
seen real fighting can deny that the
military surgeon Is usually the man
who bears the brunt of duty in any
action. He must face the dangers Of
the fight without the excitement of
| fighting. He saves life while the 9th
ers destroy it. But who thrills at the
sight of military surgeon?
One is driven to the conclusion that
the social idolatry of the fighting man
in uniform is founded on the innate adj
nlration of women for brute force.
Disguise it as you will, the fact re-
mains that the man who kills is more
attractive to the feminine heart than
the man who saves. 1t Is the uncon-
scious tribute of weakness to strength
and the more terrible the strength
the more ruthless it's manifestations
the more irresistibly fascinating its
heraldry becomes. The man in uniform
may be an uncouth, graceless fellow
without useful thought in his head
still, he represents that mysterious
power chartered to Stay.

And gibbets keep the lifted hand in
awe;
To murder thousands, takes a specious
name,

1t Is an odd thing to reflect upon in
this glorious Christian Twentieth cen
fury; and yet, no nation can preserve
Its integrity or its institutions without
the use of soldiers. The Chinese en-
pire, with 4OO,OOO,OOO inhabitants, was
conquered in 1894 by little Japan. The

them are openly taking a stand

The above IS a good sample of un-

Republicans are relying 20 carry this
election. This does not explain
sowever, why a Republican congress
refused for SIX years to redeem the
solemn pledges of their national plat
form and now use statehood as a cud-
gel to beat the timid into line. No
wonder bold assertions rather than
cold facts are brought into requisition
for campaign hash.
