arbitrate, and feel virtuous. For gold
mines and good pasture land, mixed up
with a little honor to give respectable
ity to the business, we shall fight It
out, as previously. War being thus
inevitable, the humane man will re-
joice that by one Of those brilliant dis
coveries, so simple when they are ex-
planned, war in the future is going to
be rendered equally satisfactory to
victor and to vanquished. In by-elec-
tions, as q witty writer has pointed
out, there are no defeats; only VIC
tories and moral victories The idea
seems to have caught on. War IN the
future is evidently going 70 be cor
Quoted on the same Understanding.
Once upon a time, from & far-cI land,
a certain general telegraphed home
congratulating his Government that
the enemy had shown no inclination
whatever to prevent his running away.
The whole country rejoiced. why
they never even tried to stop him." cit
liens, meeting other citizens in the
street, told each other. "Ah. they've
had enough OF him. Why. they say he
ran for miles without seeing a trace
of the foe." The enemy's general, on
the other hand, wrote home congratu-
lating his Government. In this way the
same battle can be mafficked over by
both parties. Contentment is the great
secret of happiness. Everything hap
pens for the best, If only you look at
it the right way. That is going to be
the argument. The general Of the fu-
ture will telegraph to headquarters
that he is pleased to be able to inform
his Majesty that the enemy, having
broken down all opposition, has sue
ceeded in crossing the frontier and Is
now we'll on his way to mis- MaJesty's
capital.

"as fast as can. At our present rate

him home by the 10th" Lest foolish
civilian sort Of people should wonder
whereabout lies the cause OF rejoicing,
the military man will condescend to
explain. The enemy is being enticed
farther and farther from his base. The
defeated general-who is not really de-
feated, who is only artfui, and who ap-
pears to be running away, is not really
running away. On the contrary he Is
running home, bringing-as he explains
the enemy with him. If remember

A BIRD Friendship.

The rector of Woolstone, Mr.. Gilbert
Coventry, has just told me of a wild
rocll-dove which one of his stable
logs had reared from the nest. 1t
slept in the open, however, and had
full liberty. Soon the good things on
the rector's table attracted it, and it
would appear through the open win
dow at meal times, take hot soup with
much zest and even sip sherry from
the wineglass. At night it often
slipped in and slept in the rector's bed,
on its back, under the coverlet! One
Sunday morning during the reading OF
the lesson the dove flew swiftly through
an open window into the church and
settled on the rector's head. Broad
smiles spread over the faces of the
elders and audible filters came from
the youngsters. A gentle touch sent
the bird down to the edge of the clerk
desk below, where it sat undisturbed

me the close-shut lips and determined

Had nature indeed intended Law for
the wild life Of the trail, and had he
indeed spent years rather than months
among these unusual scenes, he could
hardly have been better fitted for the
part. Hardy of limb. keen of eye, tire
less of foot, with a hand which any
weapon fitted, his success as hunter
made his companions willing enough
to assign to him the chase of the bison
or the stag: SO that he became not
only patron but provid.r for the camp
Some weeks after the departure Of
Du Mesne, Law was returning from
the hunt some miles below the sta
ton. His tall and powerful figure, har-
dened by continued outdoor exercise,
was scarce bowed by the weight of the
wild buck which he bore across his
shoulders. His eye, accustomed to the
instant readiness demanded in the
voyageur's life, glanced keenly about,
taking in each item of the scene, each
movement of the little bird on the tree,
the rustling of the grass where rab-

changed their scarlet uniform for one

THE BRINK OF CHANGE.

LII o1S1NA OE St1<ANIc.
The breath of autumn came into the
air. The little flowers which had dot
ted the grassy robe of the rolling hills
had long since faded away under the
ardent sun, and now there appeared
only the denuded stalks of the null
leins and the Haunting banners of the
goldenrod. The wild grouse shrank
from the edges of the little fields and
Joined their numbers into general
bands, which night and morn crossed
the country on sustained and strong
winged flight The plumage of the
young wild turkeys, stalking in droves
among the open groves, began to emu
late the iridescent splendors of their
elders. The marshes above the village
became the home of yet more numer-
Gus thousands of clamoring wild fowl,
and high up against the blue there
passed, on the southbound journey,
the harrow of the wild geese, vending
their way from north to south across
an unknown empire.
A chill came into the waters of
the river, so that the bass and pike
sought out the deeper pools. The
squirrels busily boarded up supplies of
the nuts now ripening. The antlers of
the deer and the elk which emerged
from the concealing thickets now
