Our week. days at Vai'ee were spent so

congregations all in their Sunday best.
The church faces the maae, or green,

The men made mild biblical jokes, while

A Story of Lord rlethuen.

The following story is related of Lord
Methuen, the famous British general,
who was recently taken prisoner by the
Beers:
From 1877 to 1881 General Methuen
was British military attache at Berlin,
and upon one occasion, when he was 60
ing to the palace to visit Emperor Viii
liam l. in 1881, he jumped into the Spree
and saved the life of drowning child.
The time required to change his clothes
made him late at his audiedce with the
Emperor. For this he apologized, but
did not give the reason for the delay. A
few days later, at a reception in the pal
ace, the Emperor drew the British at
taehe aside and pinned the rescue medal
on the lapel of his coat.

Gan Inspiring People,"
From the Philadelphia Press. ]

lIlOAll LIZ ulletuNilJLlld ELCSS
What with the rush and whirl Prince
Henry has been in, it is, perhaps, too
early to expect him to be ready with an
Illuminating as well as illuminated point
of view as regards his impressions Of
America and the Americans. And yet, if
he be quoted correctly, according to the
New York Times he has compressed in a
few words philosophical estimate OF us
all that has decided rhetorical finish as
well as being incisive and very clever.
In reply TO the query what he thought
OF the people by this time, Prince Henry
IS set down as saying:
THE people are inspiring, if may
Judge from the glimpses | have had OF
them. At the opera I saw refinement
and culture pictured in the faces; at the
luncheon tocay genius and energy; but
the crowds on the streets imprt ssed me
most. Their faces ind cate, it seems to
me, activity and ambition not dulled by
too much contentment, yet not marred
by discomfort. Is not this the balance
that makes your people so happy and so
powerful"
This is admirably put. More than
that, it is a Clear-eyed summation of
American traits as revealed in American
crowds, We all know the type in which
activity and ambition are not dulled by
too much content ent, nor marred by
discomfort" In Europe there is the bit
ter discomfort of the DECEASED, the sub
merged; there is the passive contentment
OF those who belong to certain definite
classes. and have neither the energy nor
the ambition to aspire to higher things,
to break through the bonds of customs,
habits and politics that hold them.
These two conditions produce type of
individual and class that in the mass
makes the European crowd very differ
ent thing from the American crowd, as
the royal visitor has seen at once, and
the contrast is all in favor of the Ameri-
| can.
This does not mean that America is all
paradise, or that the social and political
millennium has dawned here. But the
actual state of things in the United States
which is reflected in the face OF the
American does make for optimism. The
balance between bitter despair and dull
satisfaction with ones lot makes for
American vivacty. The fact that to no
one who has the will and capacity to do
is any gate closed makes for hOpefulness.
And the general stress of American life,
with all its UPS and downs, as reflected
in the faces, does represent that psyche
logical condition that makes the 76 ,00O,-
900 truly an Inspiring people"

Their Teeth Chatter.

The attention of sundry brethren Of the
state press is temporarily diverted from
the main features of the gubernatorial
fight. They are watching General w.
W. Grout in apprehension lest he may
execute strategetical movement and
capture one OF the U. S. senatorships. 1t
causes a chill to penetrate to their spinal
columns and make their teeth chatter as
they try to express their Indignation
over his audacity in even contemplating
such move. No U. S. senator nor rep
resentative in congress has any vested
right to the possession of his seat. II

enter the field as candidate in opposi-
ton to the reelection OF Senator Dilling-

The Danish West Indies.

These islands are small in territorial
extent, in population, and in resources;
but they have strategic value and our
government has preferred that they

Violated Contracts.

People who remember the last large
strike in the country, that of the steel
trust employees, recall how damaging to
the status of the strikers in the eyes Of
the public was Pres. Schaetfer's open ad.
vice to break contract, telling them that
their pledge to the union was greater
than personal honor. The statement
from the coal club OF this city puts the
coal transfers in the same position, The
charge there is made of sudden and un
announced termination of signed con
tract. This action has undoubtedly
drawn upon the strikers more criticism
than any one single thing that has beer

Rights of Women.

1t may be that woman will not make
good politician, according to present
standards, says Rev. B, Fay Mills. She
may not vote to protect crime and job
berry or cringe to the liquor power or any
unholy financial interest. But, even if
she should be as bad or incompetent as
we men, | say give her chance to be
free. If there are barriers between her
and any effort for humanity, let them be
real and not formed by the superstitions,
the conCeit or the sel6shness Of men, 1t is
contempt not reverence, that has kept
man from allowing women to be free
contempt and fear We hear that some
women do not want their freedom. AS
Claiming said about the slaves: 1.-THE
less they want freedom the more they
need it." Aud it is a significant fact
that every great woman OF America dur
ing the last so years has been an advo-
cate of economic aud political enirau
chsement for women. 1t is time for the
100000 women teachers OF America to
say to the young nen they train: "lf
we have sense enough to educate you,
we know enough to vote with you"
Emerson said: "All points would be
sooner carried If women voted" Woman
has been conservative on account OF her
hard experiences, which have made her
timid and cautious. Let her become ini-
tiatve and help to make the new earth
wherein dweleth justice.
Woman should be neither "a slave, a
toy, a pet, nor queen" but human
being. The remedy for the evils of lib
erty is more liberty. Let them be free to
think, to act, to live, to study, to expert
meut, to exercise judgment, to assume
responsibilities and be held responsible
