greatly disappointed to find that the

been at least two or three Bible stu

probable that the same experiment

the Bible is being read less than for
merry or that it is being read with less
care and thOughtfulness? For certain

down so completely.
Leaving the decision of this question
to those who are better able to
annlyzc its compleXity, it may not be
amlss to emphasize one phase of the
Eiblc's value to students of every
generation. Without in any way de-
tracing from it's Importance as Il
spiritual guide, the Bible is well worth
careful perusal and frequent study be-
cause of its worth as pure literature.
In this connection many writer's as

lions I have in my books are not of my
creation but are taken from the Bible.

the Old Testament when they are at

even the colleges themselves, in their
literature classes might make more
frequent use than they now do of the

sHE 1s ABOUT RIGHT.

s.,To raake the brute happy. feed him with good, well-cooked food" is the formula given out by a Chicago woman. There are many kinds of brutes that would be pleased with such treatment, but the one she alluded to belongs to the genus man. and we suspect that the wo- man is pretty nearly right. A hungry man is near akin to a bear, and one who is partial to good and well-coeked food is liable to kick out of the traces if he is forced to satisfy his hunger with badly prepared food. Bad food is q great promoter of bad temper.
 We don't know whether this Chicago 2 woman is a good cook or not. It may be that she was only reasoning from gen. eraI principles. or had formed her opin- ion from observation of the effect on others of bad food. She may be one of those fortunate women who can get and retain a good cooL and thus always have something good for the brute when he goes to the table. Or she may be one of those still more fortunate women who understands all the intricacies of the culinary art and can prepare with hel own hands food nice enough and good enough to put before king, or a queen for that matter. In that case her par. ticular brute is fortunate, and if he isn't happy it is because he doesn't know how to be. Such q man ought to be forced to prepare his own food. The Chicago woman is right.

Senator Foraker Sore B zcauss the President Did Not Help Him

| Special to New York '. oIid Washing ton-Senator Foraker, by the
 introduction of his bill to nullify all ex-

 1t is admitted by close friends of Pres
 ident Roosevelt that he is greatly in censed at the action of Senator Forake,
 1t IS said that notice has been served up-
 on the Senator that he must do all in kis
 power to counteract the effects of his ac-
 ton.

SELECTING THE VICE PRIEST.
 DENT

We notice quite a disposition in soma quarters to have the two great political parties cease to look on Vice-Prcsiden- tial nomination in the light of a mere compliment to some man, or as a means l of shelving some one who is likely to get in the way. In short. there is something like d desire and intention to get ha,.l, to the practice of other days when s,,ch men ns John Adams. Thomas Jefferson. John C. Calhoun, George M. Dallas Joao C. Breckinridge and men of their meas ure were given second place on tb. tickets. In making up the ticket in tbosa days the political parties were mindful of the fact that it was but one steD from the Vice-President to the President and that there was always chance for that step to become necessary. Hence thcs, who formulated the tickets were carrtuI to designate statesmen for second place so that no Providential or other cause would be likely to deyr.ve the country of competent head.
 It has been unfortunate for our gov, ernment and its people that this practicC was not kept up. Can any one doub that the country, and more especially tho South, would have been infinitely better off if an assassin's bullet had not re moved Lincoln and placed Andrew John
