DIR CARTER HANDICAPPED.

Rev R. E. Garter went to New York, last week Monday. The unanimous vindication of his father, s. T. Carter, D. D., and the hearty reception Of him in the fellowship of the Nassau Presbytery was highly gratifying, es- pecially so from tbe high standard set by the doctor. It was common sense versus scholastic technicalities. Pres byterianiSm had best cast off St Cal win, who was never quite sure of what hs wrote or did, and accept IS. T.)

Mr.. Hillyer was heavy sleeper
He was man, also, with a chronic
fear of burglars. 1t was these two
things that led him to have the win
dow of his sleeping room equipped
with burglar alarm of the latest and
most approved description.
A few mornings after the device had
been installed he came down to
breakfast with grin on his face.
II had funny dream last night,
he said. Il dreamed that burglar
raised my window and the alarm went
off, but he didn't seem to mind it. He
rumaged the bureau drawers, found
my watch and pocketbook and slipped
out the way he came in. By the way,
he added, Il forgot to bring down my
watch and pocketbook. III go and
get them"
He went upstairs and returned in
moment with an entirely different look
on his face. The watch and pocket
book were gone. 1t had not been q

NEED FOR TIME TO THINK.

It has been limited, and with good
deal of force. that the very things on
which we pride ourselves-our tele-
phones, telegraphs, railroads, our
haste and restlessness. our machinery
and the manifold complexities of
everyday existence-instead of being
a help to the mental and moral
growth, are a hindrance and pre-
yentive. We fritter our time away on
trifies, while our forefathers had time
to think. to study, to grow. to medl-
tate, to acquire character and
strength. There were fewer objects
which attracted their attention, and
that attention was riyeted more
strongly and for a longer time on the
essential. great concerns of life. The
completely of modern life, its eager.
short-lived interest in trifiing and I'M
necessary things. has destroyed the
quiet and composure, the capacity for
sustained attention and interest.
which seem to be requisite for the
production of the high kind OF power
I'm humankind; and against these dis
fractions there should be a constant
effort to find barrier and an anti

cupidity; of the varying grades of
venality. relieved by a sprinkling of
upright, but too often impractical
nen. Righteousness enactments are
wrung from such bodies only by fear
of public indignation, and corrupt
measures go down to defeat only when
detection and punishment faces the
Iurchasable majority.
John Burt and John Hawkins looked
down on this motley crowd of civic
craftsmanship.
Various minor matters had been de-
tated and decided when the chairman
announced that the hour set for the
consideration of the franchises of the
Cosmopolitan Improvement company
had arrived. A clerk read the ordi-
nances. and each alderman was pro-
vided with a copy of them.
Alderman Hendricks arose and was
recognized. He was the accredited
champion of the Cosmopolitan fran
chises. He made an able presentation
of the arguments in favor of the pend
ing ordinances. He was empowered
by his constituents to vote in their
favor, he said. They promised much
reeded relic from the exactions OF
a grinding monopoly. Theirs sponsors
were wealthy. reputable citizens whose
words were as good as their bonds
There could be no intelligent, unself-
ish opposition to these measures, and
so on to an eloquent peroration. 1t
was a good speech, and worth all that
vas paid for it.
Others followed in similar strain,
though not so logically or grammati-
cally. A well-drilled claque in the
gallery applauded at proper intervals.
Other speeches were made. for and
against the ordinances, and then AL
German Hendricks moved the previous
question. 1t was carried, and the roll
call ordered. The clerk, pencil in
hand, began his monotonous task.
First ward-Alderman Patrick"
"A-aye, sor," yelled shrill voice.
The claque applauded vigorously.
Alderman Saboski?"
Aye" sounded a clear tenor.
The gallery was again liberal in its
appreciation.
alderman Rounds?" called the
clerk.
A tall, awkward man rose and faced
the chairman. His red hair was plas-
tered over his forehead and his hands
seemed in the way. In one of them
he held a package, and IN the other
some loose papers. He raised his
| eyes to the gallery and they twinkled
as they rested for a moment on John
| Burt.
"Mr. President, l desire to explain
my vote on these ordinances"
There was no objection. The Cos
mopolitan partisans believed that AL
| derman Rounds had been won over
to their side. and were willing he
should attempt to explain the reasons
! for his change of heart.

Sam Rounds reached out and picked

something in his manner which caused
a hush to fall on the assembly.

Every eye in the room was fixed on
the speaker as he stepped forward
| and laid them on the chairman's table.
| Dazed and demoralized, no member OF
the opposition dared interrupt.
