enterprises differ from that Of most people Instead
of soliciting money for her various projects, Miss
Gould herself pays the expenses. This is what en-
dears her to the public. No wonder she is looked
upon as guardian angel, and especially SO by those
who have been benefited by her generosity
OF all the Goulds, the name Of Miss Helen M.
Gould will live the longest in history. Jay Gould,
one Of the shrewdest fnanciers Of his day. will be
known mainly because Of his noble daughters chart
ty towards lettering the human race. There are
many people who say that Miss Gould is eccentric.
IF this is true 1t is too bad that few thousand more
wealthy members of her class not get the same
kind of eccentricity that governs Miss Gould's &C
lions. Such eccentricity should be cultivated. 1t
is rare quality But that peculiar eccentricty that
lavishes affection and wealth upon hea-bitten bull
dog, should be severely frowned upon by those who
profess to be the symbol of the culture and refine
ment of their age.

WhY PitY?

/Cy L wy!
IT HAS been frequently said that the inmates of
our correctional institutions are deserving of pity
This, we believe is an erroneous idea. Prisoners
may ask for help pray for liberty to be united
with their family, ETC., but they do not solicit anoh
ers pity It is true that there many worthy men
in prison who deserving of freedom. but not pity
If they merit pity what can be said of the laws which
made their conviction possible? Does it not seem
inconsistent to enact laws and then to pity those who
disregard them? You cannot pity the lawbreaker
without questioning the validity of the law.
Still, pity is ethereal. It hurts no one To
some persons it is acceptable, matter what it i'm
plies There are Others however, who would not &C.
cept anothers pity under any circumstances whether
in prison or on the outside. Those who have been
harshly dealt with and who have received longer
sentence than the crime merted, generally con-
sdered worthy of pity. But why stop at pity? They
certainly deserve better recognition.

Inden1NitieS.

1T WOULD seem that the time had arrived for the
nations to agree upon arbitration. The lesson OF
the Russo-Japanese war is such costly one that
it should leave lasting impression upon the minds
of thinking Every nation has a certain class
of men who trivial disputes arising, too hasty
in shouting "To arms! To arms!' The horrors of
war alone should act as deterrent in avoiding
fict But when we add the humiliation of a crush
ing defeat with that of large indemnity, war
becomes one Of the worst crimes of the age.
When one nation engages in war with another
it expects to be victorious. The possibility of defeat
is SO remote that it receives little consideration.
Russia however, has found out that her glowing ex-
pectations have proven an iridescent dream. She
must now face the inevitable fate of the conquered
Her sudden plunge from great world power to that
of petitioning suppliant, should be warning to
other nations. It is better to sacrifice few prin-
ciples on the altar of pride than it is to the
danger Of defeat and the paying of large indemnity.

Careless Artists.

Careless .Art1sts
IT APPEARS that the art of illustrating mag
azines is on the decline. Undoubtedly this decline
is due to the miserly compensation which publish
ers pay those who illustrate the articles appearing
in the monthly periodicals. AS result, artists only
give the manuscripts intrusted to their super
fetal examination. This carelessness produces some
peculiar incongruities For instance, the author
may depict his hero as handsome beardess youth,
etc. but in the illustrations this hero appears
hairy and haggard.
As an example of the Indifference of some artists
to have things conform with time and events, one
needs only to glance at the September number of the
Cosmopolitan. The frontispece contains picture of
Admiral John Paul Jones in the act Of hosting the
flag. The sword by his side is of the modern type.
It is straight The swords in vogue during the time
that the foregoing incident took place, slightly
curved. Then turn to the story itself. Here we find
an illustration of Mr.. Jones' sword and scabbard.
They are curved This is indeed objectionable care

We are inclined to lay the fault with the publisher

instead of quality. Some day hot oloi will refuse

WHEN Rudyard Kpling published his famous
poem, "The Islanders" he was looked upon the
coming satirist of the age. It thought that at
last great genius had arrived who would assal the
foolish fads and shams that had so long succeeded
in outlivng their usefulness. In 'The Islanders"
Mr. Kipling displayed richness in ironical express
sion that astonished whole England. The contented
islanders retired in the evening with foreboding
of impending evil, but when they awoke in the
ing and read in the Times Kiplngs poem satirlzing
them, their wrath knew no bounds. With the excep-
ton of "The Rowers, he has failed to follow up his
previous success satirist.
This country has very few distinguished writer's

comings and lapses into mbecility. It is true that
Henry Watterson occasionally "shys" brick at
Newports exclusive society, but this country needs

would be well qualified to become great satirist

dearth of good writer's, but they all lack the pre-
eminency that commands attention.
