BLASTS FROM RAMS HORN.


Heavenly mama is better than earthly
mammon.
Foes without are less to be feared than
faults within.
Old truths are too great a price to pay
for new doubts.
The temperature Of the heart cannot be
gagged by the head.
The star Of faith will shine long after the
comet Of fame has disappeared.
The first thing some people do when
troubles fly into their lives is to clip their
wings.
Almost every fool thinks that he is bright
enough to throw dust in the eyes Of the
Divine.
Happiness depends not on the things
the heart has but on the heart that has
the things.
Some people make a great show Of flee
ing from the roaring lion that men may not
see the secret serpents they carry in their
pockets.
Talk about looking for opportunities
OF doing good" We may as well talk about
looking for fre-wood in a forest or for
water during a food. The world is full of
such opportunities.

the delays and s%trategems known to
criminal practice. pressure upon wit
nesses and the like, were exhausted in
his behalf. This conviction Of the mil
l~ionaire briber Butler is under the cir
cumstances a signal triumph for good

The lesson cannot be too closely laid
to heart. If the wretched petty criminal

Is to be punished, the millionaire and the
powerful corporation whose corrupt

Il conviction. For corruption in high
places unrelenting criminal prosecution

U HUMANE ARMY.

General Young is undoubtedly correct
When he says that the United States
army is the most humane army that
ever waged war, and nothing could more
forcibly illustrate this fact than the
actual truth of the campaigns i'm the
philippines and in China. War is in
herently cruel and terrible, for death
and destruction are its means. But no
army of a civilized nation campaigning
among barbarians and savages who vlo-
ate every custom and principle of civ
ilized warfare ever conducted itself
with greater self-restraint and humanity
than the American soldiers in the
Orient.
with the most recent experiences I'M
der like conditions, those of the British
in the Soudan and in northern India
and of the Russians among the bar
barous tribes in interior Asia, the record
OF the American army stands out in
striking contrast. In the international
corps in China, where American soldiers
marched with the French, Germans,
British and Russians, the difference in
their treatment of women and children,
of prisoners and armed foes aud Of the
property Of the invaded country was
such as to impress profoundly the opin.
ion of the whole world.
1t was exactly what was to be ex-
pected. The young men who composed
the American army were not mere hire
lings nor recruited from the dregs and
outcasts of society, but for the most
part went periodically from the repre-
sentative homes Of the country. They
were neither better nor worse than their
brothers and neighbors who remained
at home as a reserve to reinforce them
If need should be.
1t was folly for the so-called anti
imperialists to attempt to promote their
contention by besmirching such an
army. The American people instinct
lively resent it. The charges against the
character of the army were palpably and
demonstrably overdrawn. The evidence
employed by the detractors was the
same as If they had colIated the records
of the police courts of our cities as typi-
flying the civic character Of our people.
The point that Americans are not an
aggressively military people, that their
true ideal is peace and industrialism
rather than the glory of war is well
taken and cannot be too much insisted
upon. So far as the anti-imperialists
can enforce that point they will per-
form a useful service. But falsehood,
~detraction, unmerited SANDER of the
American army hinder and by no posi-
bility can ever help the promotion Of
the true American military policy.

more profitable than the millions expended
for churches and schools. While the profit

liglous and educational investments OF its
predecessors.

FREE LIBRARY MOVEMENT.
Advantages that it Spreads Before
Even the HumbIest Reader.
Mn Cosna a., A. Ta5o~ona

In opening a free library the doors are
flung ajar OF a great treasure house where
the popularity is this: That every man
may take, and yet none will find any less.
Think what is being added to the wealth OF
the communicable thought, the poetry,
the science, the romance OF nearly all the
ages. 1t is being gathered up and put into
one room, and no man can be so poor that
he may not be owner OF 1t all. II a person
happen to step into one of the great free
libraries in the poorer districts of London
OF Liverpool, or of any great city, he must
have been touched by the thought that such
places are the great comfort houses OF the
poor man and poor woman. In winter, when
the day is, cold and chill, there they are who
would otherwise be in the streets. without
work and sometimes without food. But for
a little while they are able to forget their
hard necessities and to remember their
other troubles no more.
What II they are all, or nearly all, read
ing novels? The novelists are the magi-
clans waiting them, as on wings out OF their
anxieties and sorrows. Some OF them are
away with Walter Scott among the hills of
Scotland, and some of them are with
Thackeray on the field Of Waterloo, and
some OF them are with Dickens, tramping
the country lanes by the side OF the grand
father and Little Nell. Some OF them are
rolling with laughter and some are choking
with sobs; but all OF them are carried cut
OF themselves and out OF their pitiful cir
cumstances. And II is only their poor,
pinched bodies that sit there. in their mean
and meager garments.
Isn't this a wonderful thing to do? You
may be rich, but you cannot do Il with
money; you may stand in high places, but
you ann do 1t with power. You have
done II with books, and books are the great
est force now existing In the world. Judged
by its effect on man and on time, a great
book is a far greater event than a great
battle; and there is no book so poor but Il
has taken generations OF men to write IL.
A race has never been great without hav-
ing great books. Sometimes the books have
remained when the race has disappeared.
The highest inheritance of our own race.
the Lnglo-ssXon race, is the inheritance OF
a great and glorious literature. And this
Is the birthright OF every apprentice boy
who speaks and reads his mother tongue.

Governor-elec Bailey OF Kansas deserves
all the pity that can be shipped to him by
mail or otherwise. He is a bachelor. In a
moment OF thoughtlessness preceding his
nomination he agreed If elected governor
not only to marry, but to select a Kansas
woman for a bride. The awakening on the
morning of the day after finds him in a
distressful state Of mind because the avail
able matrimonial material in Kansas does
not approach his standard Of feminine
loneliness. Duty commands, but his heart
rebels. What renders the situation one-of
acute distress is the ideal helpmeets to
be had in Nebraska. When the happiness
OF a lifetime is at stake the governor-e elect
would be justified in tying a can to pledges
and raiding his northern neighbor.
