The woman raised her eyebrows
slightly and made a sudden swinging
upward as much as to say CAS- you
please, sir" But she did not speak.
Her continued silence irritated the
man as no words could have done. He
bit his lip and his face grew red and
white by turns. Her head was bowed
slightly, so that the sunlight, glisten-
ing on her hair, gave it the appearance
of a crown of FURNISHED copper. The
beauty of it dazzled him, and, with
anger and pain thro obbing in his heart,
he turned away, filed the bucket at
the spring, and started slowly down
the path, leaving her sitting silently
under the trees, gazing after him, her
face flushing and her eyes flashing.
When he reached the bottom of the
hill, the man placed the pail of water
on a bench beside the door of her
home and passed on, through the yard,
to the road beyond. And then, with
a savage swing, he started toward the
town, two miles away.

But, never pausing, never once
slackening his pace, he pushed onward,
the sting of life's bitterest sorrow in
his heart.
At a bend in the road, where a white
cottage stood between two giant pop
lars, little girl sat upon fence post
reading from a gorgeouSly colored
book. And as the man walked past,
he heard the childish treble faltering
over the words:
Jack and Jill went up the hill
To fetch pail of water.
Jack fell down and broke his crown,
And Jill came tumbling after

child repeated; "ana> Jill came tum-

Christianity and Democracy

From Il speech by the Hon.
Bourke Cochran at Minneapolis on
st. Patrick's day:
The man who adopts the Chris
tian religion acknowledges the
equality of man, and it is upon
this equality of man that the gov
ernment is founded. When the
nation adopted these principles
and embodied them in its Consti-
tuition, il became evident that slav-
cry was inconsistent with this idea
of equality, and slavery fell.
Ii is when men begin to inquire
into the reasons and rights of gov.
ernment that they may question
the right of the autocratic govern.

the matter with John!
Liberty has bonded for $43, 900
for water works. This is much

brick or granitoid have been built
in nearly every section of the city.
Tuesday evening, March 25th, a
mass meeting was called by the
citizens for the purpose of nomin-
ating II ticket for Mayor and City
Alderman. The saloon element
were confused to find the better
element of the city awaiting the
proceedings of the evening. Those
who believe demons thing of the
past should have been at this meet
ing They were east out, however,
and a good, clean ticket was nom
mated. This is an evidence of
what the good people can do when
they want to. The Christianity
that we need is not one easily
moved to tears, but to fearless and
decided action. The preachers
need to be more practical and more
genuinely in earnest. The pro-
fessed Christians have strength
enough to reform any corrupt city
government i'll our country, and
they never will be reformed until
Christian people do it. God, give
us men of backbone, who love
righteousness rather than popular
ity and money.
James Reed, of Kansas CITY, is
now waging a contest for the
mayoralty of that city. He has
in the fearless performance of his
duty. antagonized the interests o
the Metropolitan Street Railway
corporation, and he now has t
confront the power of their wealth
together with the infamies an,
calumnies of a subsidized press
Alas, for the man who antagoniz
