Not for many months has there
been such an uphoaval IN Methodism
as that occasionod b. the publication
of certain statements by Prof.
Charles W. Pearson. u the North

the publication has unusually
shocked Methodist ministers and
laymen as well
Professor Pearson denies the SUI

THE POPULAR HERO.
In Fiction He Is Always Eating,

In Fiction He Is Always Eating,
Drinking or Smoking.
When the hero of the popular short
story is not eating or drinking he is
smoking, says Martha Baker Dunn In
the Atlantic. His chronicler favors
his pages with tobacco smoke and
punctuates them with cocktails. In
JOY or in sorrow, in the most romantic
no less than the more commonplace
moments, the hero lights another
cigarette" Emotion unacompanied by
nicotine is something Of which he
evidently has no conception.
1t is the same, too, with the up-to-
date young man in real life. He
knows, if he has been properly trained,
that while a toothpick should be in
dulged in only in that spot to which
Scripture enjoins us to retire when we
are about to pray, a meerschaum pipe
is d perfectly well-bred article for
public wear and one which enables
him to fulfill agreeably that law of
his being which suggests, that he
should always be putting something in
his mouth.
At a college ball game not long
since, where, as is usual on such oc-
casions, clouds Of incense were rising
to the heavens from the male portion
Of the spectators l amused myself by
observing a young man who sat in n
carriage near me, and who while the
game was in progress smoked pipe
three times and filed in all the in
tervals with cigars and cigarettes. I
knew something about him and had
frequently heard him referred to as
"a first-rate fellow" but if anybody
had asked him if he believed himself
capable of a single pure impulse of
the soul, entirely unmixed with bodily
sensations. he would have stared in
amazement.

Not a doubt about it," said Terry,
thickly.

you, Terry. I've always told you things

Always, DodO."

Terry puts his hands over his ears to
shut out the maddening sound of the
gay music, and groaned.
Couldn't you find out the kidnaper,
and make him stop-cOuldn't you, dar-
ling?"
Terrys face was hidden in his hands
now. Then he raised his head sudden
ly and looked at her
"DodO-suppOse-s he said,
hoarsely, that l could put my finger
on the scoundrel-what then"
80, Terry, you could go to him and
make him stop. You could tell how
good and sweet mummy is, and how
we all love her. Perhaps he's got a
little girl of his own, and If you tell
that l can't live without mummy he
will be sorry. Perhaps he could take
some one who wouldn't mind a bit
some one who has no little girl, or ia
ther, or you. 0, Terry, tell him 1 can't
let mummy go. And when 1 am a
woman father says l will be rich, and
l will give it all to him-I will give
him everything everything. o, Terry

| Terry caught the little, sobbing, tor
tured creature in his arms and pressed
hiss face tightly against her fair head
Then he pulled out his handkerchief
and wiped her eyes.

A department has been established in
the Massachusetts Institute of Tech
pology to reduce to an exact science
the prevention of fires. This may be
accomplished, first, by planning the
construction of buildings in such Il
manner as to reduce danger of fire to
a minimum; second, by devising means
for the rapid extinction of any blaze
that gains Roadway. Considering that
the fire waste in the United States has
been increasing for the last five years
In the face of improvements in the
fire departments and equipment, and
that the loss last year was $150O0O,OOO,
it is certainly time an intelligent effort
was made TO eliminate avoidable dan
ger.
