NICHOLAS THE FOE OF
POPULAR GOVERNMENT

From Alexander l. or even from Mich
olas I. OF Russia to Nicholas II there is
far greater distance than most people
are inclined 70 concede at first sight.
Nicholas / was the declared foe Of ev-
erything pertaining TO popular govern
ment, not only in his own dominions.
but likewise abroad, and championed
everywhere the divine right Of kings and
the principle OF Legitimacy. His great

Joy VIII Contest.

The announcement that the Hon.
Charles P. Joy will contest the election
which furnished a successor TO his seat
in Congress will enable an election COM
mittee to make an investigation Of what
was a most interesting struggle This
investigation should be closely watched
by the makers Of comic opera, for Il is
certain to develop a political tangle good
enough for any stage and entirely too
good to be buried in the conventional
Congressional reports. In the early
stages Of this campaign the Hon. John
T. Hunt. the Democratic candidate, was
an entirely acceptable opponent to Rep
resentative Joy. In the Eleventh dis
trict Of Missouri II seemed entirely feas-
ible to defeat labor agitator for Con-
gress. Mr.. joys friends who were look
ing out for his camnaign were exceed

An Amazing Power.

Suddenly, on the eve OF election. Nj
Hunt developed the most amazing
strength The word passed along the
line that Mr.. Joy would 90 down to de-
feat because the Democrats were making
extraordinary efforts TO carry all tickets
in his district. Mr.. Joy certainly feels
that extraordinary efforts were made.
In one polling precinct two men voted
who had gone on from Washington for
the purpose. They we're employees in one
OF the departments here and fair con-
lecture is that Mr. JOY paid their ex-
penses home II is an admitted fact that
he arranged for their Journey. When the
vote was announced it was 10 pc noted
that Mr. JOY did not have single vote

GREAT WHITE CAR
TO VISIT THE POPE

One cannot but feel encouraged by this
tribute paid by Nicholas II to popular
governments in France and in italy to
hope that he may in course OF time see
his way to apply fits principles TO his
own vast empire
While at Rome the Czar will visit the
Pope. all the arrangements for the in
terview having been made by his broth
er-in-law, Grand Duke Sergius, during
the latter's recent stay in the Eternal
City.
The visit will be interesting. For
Nicholas is something more than a mere
temporal sovereign. He is likewise the

which is known as the Orthodox Rite.

children going by, single file.
The cougar seized the lad by the
head and sat crouched upon him, snarl-
ing at another boy of the party, an
eight-year-old youngster, who came
running with might and main to save
his brother. The brave boy had in his
right hand milk bottle, of heavy
glass. He took hold of one of the
cougars ears, and with the bottle be-
gan to beat the snarling beast over
the head. At the third or fourth blow
the bottle broke, and hundred frag-
ments of glass were shattered about.
1t rs possible that some Of these
fragments entered the cougars eyes,
for as soon as the bottle broke he let
go his hold and ran off, plunging into
the bushes, from which he did not
again emerge.
Meanwhile the unhurt children took
the wounded boy into a neighborine
farmhouse. The wounds were all flesh
wounds, and when they had been
dressed the little fellow grew quite

was there as usual to accompany him
home. Moore was wearied after his
days work and was walking along
the main line tracks over which the
fast trains pass, when the Southern
express approached from behind.
Neither Moore nor his dumb COM
panion heard the express until it was
upon them. A shrill whistle was the
first warming and It came too late.
Moore glanced around and saw that
the engine was almost upon him. he
was apparently unmindful of himself
in the presence of the sudden danger.
The dog was trembling from terror
few PAGES in front of him. Moore
made a mighty effort, and bending
forward, grasped the dog and threw
It clear of the track. The next in
slant the express train struck him
and hurled his Hfeless body high in
the air. But the dog was aaved.
Two tramps witnessed the tragedy.
They say that Moore could probably
have saved himself had he not over
looked his own danger and turned to
the dog.
From the time his master was
killed the dog remained beside the
body. he followed the undertaker's
wagon, and was allowed to take his
place beside the casket, where he
watched until the time of the funer-
al, when he was taken away from the
sad scene.

HE'S SAFE EITHER WAY.
An interesting Situation I'm the
shack Of n Western Man who
Entertnins a Rather.

Every time John Prentice, of Ken
newick, Wash, rolls over in bed at
night, big rattlesnake lifts its ugly
head and bur-r-rs, and some night
there promises to be battle between
the two.
Ten days ago Prentice first heard the
warning bur-r-r of the rattle in his
shack. He is an old westerner and
dwells on the bank of the Columbia,
half a mile from Kennewick andl just
across the river from Pasco.
His cabin is a one-room affair in the
midst of a wild, sparsely settled, sage
brush country, and is piled high on one

side with plumber gathered from the
river. Here are dozens of heavy boxes
and other articles which would take
half day to drag out.
Prentince heard the RATHER, looked
twice at the boxes and then decided
not to interfere with the intruder en-
sconced behind the mass of rubbish.
He shifted his bed little and gave
up half his house to the snake. The
rattlesnake bur-r-rs at every move
Prentice makes, but the nervy west
erner pays little attention to it.
On one side of the shack dweller as
he sleeps is big shotgun and on the
other bottle of approved snake bite.

him." remarked Prentice. eff he gets
in on me first, here's the snake bite.

their eyes sparkling with anticipated
pleasures. They looked as fragrant
and were as pretty as the peeping
rosebuds of June. BY and by the
proper car came along and the young
woman hailed it. The Indifferent
conductor turned with callous face
to see what had INSTRUCTED the pas
sage of his car and caught a glimpse
of the happy and expectant row. His
face softened; he was off his plat
form in twinkling, busy with lift
ing the little ones into place, all the
passengers looking on with interest
and smiles and some assisting. AS
the last little tot was lifted into place
with heavy sigh of satisfaction, she
lifted her little hand to pat the
cheek of the conductor and her
crumpled rose-leaf mouth to be kissed.
Then they saw the eyes of the con-
ductor fill, two tears coursing down
his cheeks. They smiled some more,
with little lip quivers. Awkwardly
and hurriedly the conductor, brush
ing the tears away, sought his eyrie,
and when there said out loud: I'm
a big stiff, know, but the grass
hasn't grown over little one of my
own in Cypress Hills yet"

ONES WORTH TO OTHERS.
A Principle That Relates TO Self, But
That Ia Very Far from Being
Selfish.

1t is intensely important to every
young person To have foremost in mind
the purpose to so qualify himself as
to become increasingly worthful to
other people. 1 believe that this prin-
ciple is, in various ways, prominently
presented in the Bible. 1t is a princi-
pie which, first of all, relates to ones
self, yet is far from selfish. It means
that one ought'to begin early In life to
use the best psssible means to rightly
cultivate both mind and heart for the
express purpose of using the cultivat-
ed powers IN the coming years in just
such xXaSs as Code providence may
guide EU5i.e into.
1T is not to be expected that God
less youth will or can take such view;
and yet If even such an one have Chris
tian parents they ought TO regard it
as their duty to properly shape the ed
ucation of their young son or daughter,
with an eye to his or her best worth to
other people in the advancing years.
Their position and prestige should be
kept out of mind; the highest person
al worth to others should be the DOM
inant thought and ambition. And
every young Christian should be stead
lily urged to possess himself with this
wide and far-reaching principle The
more thoroughly that one equips him
self for some honorable sphere of serv-
Ice the more worthful will he become
to others.
The question: what is the Chris
tian religion worth to you?" is really
not so important as is the question:
What is the Christian religion, as
possessed by you worth to the COM
munity in which you live, and to those
beyond it whom you reach in various
ways?" 1t was very common, during
past generations, to ask a protested
Christian: Are you enjoying reIi-
gion?" A much better question Is:
Are You doing all you can to make the
,eligion of Christ in you permanently
worthful to all with whom you have
dealings prev c. H. Wetherbe. in
