A certain young man was sent to
congress. He delivered a clever maid
en- speech. The correspondents liked
him. They wrote him up in their as
patches. His pictures were printed In
the newspapers, and anecdotes OF MS
life appeared in many journals. he
was alluded to as prospective speak
or of the house, and it was generally
agreed that he would do great things
after he had been elected for the Sec
ond term.
One day correspondent called upon
the young statesman. He was engaged
with some constituents; so the newspa-
per man sent in his card. When 1t was
handed to the embryo speaker his con-
stituents offered to excuse him.
"Oh, no." he said, with affected care

The door was aJar, and the CORE
spondent heard the remark He had
met such men before. He fastened
back to his office, and that night there
was meeting of correspondents.

THAT GIRL OF YOURS.

I'm sevcn-trnths of the 1900 cases
of insanity among women which
have come under my notice the
cause was traced to the malign it,
flurncrS of childhood"
So says the superintendent of an
insane asN lam.
What this specialist means is that
these women were reared under a
false system, n system which did not
fit them for their proper place in
life.
IS he right?
Study The girls of today. Look in
to the school rooms. You will find
pretty faces aglow with intellect,
but you will find also STOPPING
shoulders, weak spines, undeveloped
forms, sunken chests, blanchcd
faces.
Where are the girls who are to be
the Spartan mothers of the race?
And where are the "Tom Boys
those blithe and agile creatures with
broad, deep chests, sparkling eyes,
cheeks ruddy with cOrpuscles of red
blood, waists that show vigor and
strength? Where are those dashiug,
leaping, climbing, laughing, whist
ling girls of the Olden time, full and
running over with vitality?
You may find some of them in the
country districts and in the athletic
town girls.
What the girls of today need most
of all is more exercise and less of
sofa, more basket ball and less of
piano, more sunlight and fresh air
and less chocolate and cosmetics
Ask the doctors.
For goodness sake, don't restri in
that romping, lively girl of yours.
Be thankful for her superintendent
vitality. She will need it all some
day.
Let her run. Let the winds make
streamers of her flowing hair and
the sun tan her cheeks Let the
home ring with her happy laughter.
Let the girl run. 1t is better than
over-stulrrd head, Over-wrought
nerves, ovrr-polished manners 1t
is better than n weak back and
hectic cheek-better than doctors
bills.
And some day she will marry
What a wife and mother she will
makei Her children will rise up
and call her blessed. The world will
be better Otf-infinitely better Off
than il you had repressed her girl

treated her like a hot house bloom.

A clustering King.

OF King George ", Thomas Cree
vey, who lived in the early part Of the
nineteenth century, tells this story:
The king had appointed the bishop
of Winchester to administer to him the
sacrament on one of the Sundays about
Easter. The bishop was not punctual
TO his time, and when lie arrived the
king, in a great passion at having been
kept waiting, abused and even swore
ut him in the most indecent manner, on
which the bishop very coolly said he
must be permitted TO withdraw, as he
perceived his majesty was not then in
a fit state of mind to receive the sacra-
ment, and should be ready to attend on
some future day, when he hoped TO find
his majesty in better state of prepa-
ration.

WHY WE LIKE JAPAN.

The question is often asked, why
do Americans, almost without eNcep-
ton, give their earnest sympathy, in
the present conflict, to Japan?
Because Americanism is opposed
to autocracy.
The American public has been
reading about Russia. 1t knows
that the government of the ear has
no constitutional limitations and
that the Russian subject is the foot
bali of bureaucratic caprice. IT
knows that Russia is denied the
blessings of Il free press and free
speech. 1t knows something of the
inherent crurlties of such II govern.
lnelt and of its treatment of free
peoples who come under its control.
And so, when it reads the cars
procIanation:
"By the Grace of God, we, Niche
las H., emperor and AuTOCRAT al
all the Russians"
1t files instant oDJectlOn'
The American public does not like
the bear which walks like II man and
which reaches out its greedy paw
for more land. 1t wants to see n
stop put to the rapacity of Russia.
And it believes that il Russia could
be whipped the Russian people would
think less of the great white ear
and more of humanity.
And therefore the average Amerl-
can feels that Russia needs II lick
ing-just as Spain needed one.
Viewed in one sense, this American
sentiment is IL strange thing
Because
The war now in progress is war
between II Chl istian and heather
nation, in so far as religious CLASH
tication goes; war hrtWeen ciVili-
zation nominally Christian and ia
mIliar, aud Il veneer of civilization
whose outcome We can only guess.
But The average American does
not consult II religious red book in
making up his likes and dislikeS
He believes Japan is in the right
The Jap has been more Christian
than the Slav.
1t will not do to account for Amer
lean sympathy on the ground alone
that We usually sympathize with the
under dog. For
We as people are proud of Japan
1t was our Commodore Perry who
first opened the doors of the islanC
to the light of civilization. The
japanese have taken us for their eX
empIarS. Imitation is sinceres
fiattrry. The Japs have initiated
us. We have been pleased with the
way they have learned the lessons
we have set for them. We admir-,
their progress and modern spirit
We are grateful for their hospitality
to our missionaries. We feel as i
we had helped to raise them.
We like Japan. We do not lik'
Russia.
