to differ. No mans Judgment is infal-
lible. Suppose a member of the Lsu-
rens delegation votes against a bill in
which l am interested-shall L solemnly
swear down in my secret heart to
sharpen a knife for the next election? L
think not. 1 think it is worth my
while to consider q mans general leg
i~slative course and try to determine
whether or not he is the right man in
the right place.
Take, for example, the South Caro-
lima College. L am a fairly staunch
friend OF that school. My people, most
of them, have been educated there for
nearly q hundred years and picked up
o smatteripg there myself. L would
always favor liberal appropriations for
it and believe that it has been OF in
calculable value to South Carolina.
Nevertheless, L do not really tn nix it is
the balance wheel of the solar system
or that a legislators vote with regard
to it is the single or even the best test
of his political virtue. III / cared to risk
going to extremes, 1 would confess to
having known honest legislators who
had their doubts concerning the purity
of the South Carolina dispensarp sys-
tem-but L do not wish to encourage
the growth Of any form Of scepticism.

died without II fear and with love to
the men who, not knowing, had been
his death. And there was no bitter
ness in any heart, for Mr.. Craig read
the story of the sheep and told how
gently he had taken Billy home; but,
though no word was spoken, 1t was
there the league was made again.
They laid him under the pines beside
Lewis Mavor, and the miners threw
sprigs of evergreen into the open
grave. When Slavin, sobbing bitterly,
brought his sprig, no one stopped him,
though all thought it strange.
AS we turned to leave the grave the
light from the evening u came soft
ly through the gap in the mountains
and, filling the valley, touched the trees
and the little mound beneath with glo-
ry, and 1 thought of that other glory
which is brighter than the sun and
was not sorry that poor Billy's weary
fight was over, and 1 could not help
agreeing with Craig that 1t was there
the league had it's revenge.

Falcons Tn japan.

In the olden times in Japan all the
daimios lsimilar TO the old English
lord) had great sport with falcons, as
they went out 10 the field to catch other
birds with falcons. The falcons were
tanned well and used 10 catch large
birds. mostly cranes. When people now
go out hunting with falcons. the men
in charge hold them upon their fin
gers As soon as one sees any bird
he let's the falcon rush at the bird; as
soon as the falcon reaches the bird he
bites at the throat and throws the bird
down TO the ground. Meanwhile the
holder runs to the place where they are
and catches both of them.
Falcons are not large birds; but, as
they belong to the eagle family, they
are strong and brave aud never afraid
TO so at any bird to kill it, but the men
in charge of falcons of course take
great care in feeding and tanning them.
