WITTY NOTE BROUGHT PEACE
Young Couple neconciled as Result
of Father's Diplomacy.

A merchant whose daughter had
married man with whom it proved
that she could not get on very well,
was much surprised some weeks ago
to see the young lady return home
again with all her belongings. The
old man listened very attentively to
her story, and then went to his desk
and wrote note to his son-in-law
which he gave to his daughter, as
surfing her that her husband would
receive her kindly after this. The
pair on reading the letter, found in it
the following notice:
Dear Sir-Goods that have been
selected of ones own free will at my
establishment are not taken back
again.
The young couple laughed heartily
and were reconciled.

A Rain of QuaiIs.

Gross Berskerck in Hungary, was
visited the other day by a furious
cloudburst. The inhabitants, who had
fed indoors for shelter, were greatly
astonished at the heavy impact with
which the supposed raindrops struck
the ground. When at last the storm
ceased the people came out. and were
amazed to find the soil literally COW

OF the newsboy who had just picked

off with the prize, there was vague

the mild-looking party stopped, and
gazing at the solitary figure. address

"Old man, wouldn't you like to

You've read me as accurately as

Automobiles and Dust.

One of the features of the RELIABLE
ity trials by tie London Automobile
club at the Crystal palace was q dust
trial" At three points in the banked
up circular cycle track half the road
way was covered with an inch layer
of tournill sweepings. One automo-
bile acted as pilot to the competing
car, in order that the speed, which
was approximately thirty miles an
hour. might be gagged, and as the
competing car few through the flour
two cameras recorded the cloud Of
dust" The lesson taught by the
dust trials was that the lower and
more cumbersome the gear and boxes
under the body of the car the greater
is the dust raised.

Young Woman's Heroism,

Agatha Andersen, young woman
employed as lift attendant in q
large building at Christiana, Sweden,
performed a striking act Of heroism
the other day. A serious fire broke
out in the building, and some people
in the upper stories were cut of from
escape and screamed for help. Twice
the young woven took the elevator to
the top throu hes and smoke,
succeeding in rescuing all the impris-
oned people. A minute or two after
she had descended for the last time

The Danger of Mob Law.

He reads history to little purpose who does not
see in this spirit of lawlessness a peril to the
Republic far greater than from any form of impe-
rialism. The greatest peril to democracy arises
from it's lack of self-restraint. 1t is, an old copy
book maxim, as true as it is ancient, Anger is a
brief madness. When the boys call their angry
fellow "mad," they speak more truly than they
know. In such a mob as that at Wilmington we
see a city mad. For the hour, it is truly insane.
And any despotism, however base, is better than
government by a lunatic asylum. It is because
democracies realize this that they have in the past
abandoned democracy for imperialism. Sulla and
Marius preceded Caesar; Robespierre, Napoleon
l.; the, peril of revolutionary Socialism made pos
sible the coup d 'etat of Napoleon III. The first
duty of all patriots to-day is to band together, at
whatever cost of popularity, at whatever risk to
person, at whatever temporary disadvantage to
the community, at whatever delay or even appa-
rent sacrifice of justice, to maintain the sover-
eighty of law. For the sovereignty of law is to
the community what the sovereignty of reason is
to the individual-sanity and the rule of the
mob is to the community what the rule of the
passions is to the individual-madness.-Dr. Ly-
man Abbott, in the Outlook.

Our Thought for the Week" reminds us of a
rather striking definition of religion given by DR..
Lyman Abbott in one of his recently published
books. "Religion," he says, "is not an opinion re-
specting God, nor respecting his influence in the
world of men. 1t is a personal consciousness of
God. 1t is a human experience, but an experience
of relationship with One who transcends human
ity. The creed is not religion; the creed is a
statement of what certain men think about reli-
gion. Worship is not religion; worship is a meth
cd of expressing religion. The church is not
religion; the church is an organization of men
and women formed for the purpose of promoting
religion"

A THOUGHT FOR rHE Week.

This is not what Ieall religion, this profession
and assertion, which is only a profession and
assertion from the outworks of the man, from
the mere argumentative region of him, if even so
deep as that. But the thing a man does practi-
caly believe (and this is often enough without
asserting it to himself, much less to others); the
thing a man does practically lay to heart, and
know for certain, concerning his vital relations to
this mysterious Universe, and his duty and des-
tiny there, that is in all cases the primary thing
for him, and creatiyely determines all the rest.

Is Success a Million?

Life is like a whist game; one should have the
skill; also one must have the cards. Fate deals
the player picks up his hand.
Or to get at it by another trail. What is "suc-
cess? Is it a million dollars? Hardly, since in
the greedy argument of folk bent on worldly vic
tory a million has grown to mean no more than
pocket money. If one be bent for business
triumph nowadays, he will no more stop at a
million than one bent for New York City will stop
at Railway.
But suppose success" were represented by "a
million" There be twelve million of the male
youth of this country for an audience when one
breaches on Success" Is there "a million" wait
ing for each should each observe those precious
rules?
Assume, for argument, that a seat in the Senate
of the United States to be the standard of "suc-
cess" There are doubtless ten thousand folk in
this country, each of whom would make a perfect
Senator; there are assuredly one hundred thou
sand each of whom would be an improvement on
any of a full one-half of those who at present hold
seats. Yet the whole number of Senate seats is
ninety. It is plain, then, that though ten thou
sand may be perfect for the place, nine thousand,
nine hundred and ten will be denied.
And so with money with a Cuisines success"
Let every man be perfect in his work of wits and
hand, perfect of thought, and deed and habit, yet
shall a majority go empty of that Success" Many
are called but few are chosen, for there isn't
enough to go around-that is, when one speaks of
a business success" Now, if one were to preach
peace or content, or love of family, or the JOY of a
good book, or the blessing of a clean life as a
standard of success" everyone might hope. But
Mr.. Duke and his fellow-success-preachers don't;
they preach money-money and its capture as that
one success" which for its attainment should
engage wholly and solely the body and the soul of
man.-Alfred Henry Lewis in Everybody's Maya

An Ideal for Editors.

No other public teacher lives so wholly in the
present as the Editor; and the noblest affrmations
of unpopular truth-the most self-sacrifcing de-
fance of a base and selfish public sentiment that
regards only the most sordid ends and values every
utterance solely as it tends to preserve quiet and
cOntentment, while the dollars fall jingling into
the merchants drawer, the land-jobber's vault,
and the miser's bag-can but be noted in their
day, and with their day forgotten. 1t is his cue
to utter silken and smooth sayings-to condemn
Vice so as not to interfere with the pleasures or
alarm the consciences of the vicious; to praise
and champion Liberty so as not to give annoyance
or offence to Slavery, and to commend and glorify
Labor without attempting to expose or repress
any of the gainful contrivances by which Labor
is plundered and degraded. Thus Siding dexter
ously between somewhere and nowhere, the Able
Editor may glide through life respectable and in
good case, and lie down to his long rest with the
non-achievement of his life emblazoned on the
very whitest marble, surrounding and clarifying
his dust.
There is a different and sterner path Il know
not whether there be any now qualified to tread it;
[ am not sure that any one has ever followed it
implicitly; in view of the certain meagerness of
its temporal rewards, and the haste wherewith
any fame acquired in a sphere so thoroughly
ephemeral as the Editors must be shrowded by
the dark waters of oblivion. This path demands
an ear ever open to the plants Of the wronged
and the suffering, though they can never repay
advocacy, and those who mainly support newspa-
pers will be annoyed and often exposed by it; q
heart a. sensitive to oppression and degradation
in the next street as if they were p~racticed in
Brazil or Japan; a pen as ready to expose and
reprove the crimes whereby wealth is amassed and
luxury enjoyed in our own country at this hour,
as if they had been committed only by Turks or
Pagans in Asia some century ago.
Such an Editor, could one be found or trained,
need not expect to lead an easy, indolent, or
wholly joyous life-to be blessed by Archbishops
or followed by the approving shouts of ascendant
majorities; but he might find some recompense
for their loss in the calm verdict of an approving
conscience; and the tears of the despised and the
friendless, preserved from utter despair by his
utterances and remonstrances, might freshen for
a seaon the daisies that bloomed above his grave.
