Harper's is pre-eminertly the maya
zine OF short stories, and contains
many written by the best known au-
thors of the day. The reading of Sc
lected articles in these magazines is a
part of the regular work in English
laid out for the high school pupils. In
fact, this is considered an important
part of their work. Through the med

the style of the author and the scope
of his work is attained which might
never be acquired by the pupil if left
to the reading of their more extensive
works. The articles published in the

the pupils in touch with the real prob

BY WAY OF CONTRAST.

In commenting on the able and con-
ieryative address delivered by Judge
George Gray ON the Fourth Of July. the
North American very pertinentiy says:
Judge George Gray chairman Of
the body which arbitrated the am
thracite strike, Is a broad-minded
man, genuinely learned in the law
and in the vital history of his coun-
try and naturally his views ON
public questions are the very anti
thesesis OF Pennypacker. BY way Of
contrast TO the narrow, splenetic
peevish and unutterably foolish
TRADE of a Pennypacker on the un-
worthiness OF all newspapers except
the machine weeklies, that portion
Of Judge Gray's Fourth OF July ad-
dress TO the people OF Willesbarre is
of peculiar interest to Pennsylvania.
No direct allusion to the stupid
and futile "muzzler" was made, nor
did Judge Gray bid FOR the favor of
newspapers with words OF undls-
eliminating praise. He touched
upon their Weaknesses and short
cominss and criticised those de-
fects which must be admitted by all
candid men, but in his champions

Nania, and placed the value OF free
expression of public opinion far
above the price of individual an

this country a growing sense of re-
sponsibility instead OF the reckless
ness and Derversity which the car
toon-haunted Pennypacker pro-
fessed TO see and pretended TO de-

Pope LEO IS DYING.

The Pope is dying. There appears to
