President Roosevelt's inaugural ad-
dress seems to have made a very favor
able impression in Europe. A French
paper characterizes it as "a triumphal
hymn to the American nations gran
duer and prosperity" and declares
that sit smacks of Roosevelt as an i'm
perialist, expansionist and militarist. "
If we may interpret the French papers
characterization of the president as
having reference to che personal char
acter of Theodore Roosevelt, it is all
that and more too, for his is a royal
personality and the courage with
which he projects his demands for the
expansion of better things for the
people of this nation, white and black,
has won for him unstinted praise both
at home and abroad. The American
people are justly proud of their chief
executive.

written by me in a moment of emotional
turmoil compounded of resentment against
dogmatic intolerance and enthusiasm for a
larger, nobler belief.

clergyman, whose irorclad orthodoxy per-

me as to my religious belief ! answered
that had an inherited creed, that / had

Of the manner in which children are
stolen and MANNED in order that they
may be used for begging has been
brought TO light by a romantic meeting and
recognition at the Calician place of pilgrim
age, Kalwarya Paclavska. One of the pill

on handcar. when the boy cried Mother,

own child who disappeared three years ago.

ing man who pushed the cart made of with
the boy as fast as he could and stabbed
one of the pilgrims who attempted to stop
him. He would have escaped but for the
timely appearance of the police. When re-
stored to his mother the boy gave a har-
rowing account of how he had been enticed
away from home by a stranger, who after
ward tied his leg over two pieces of wood
and jumped on II till he broke the bone in
two places. He next twisted the leg and
tied 1t to the other in such way that It
could not set. Two other children were
similarly crippled by the man. who took
them to beg for him at all of the fairs

There is No Unbenef.
Whoever plants a seed beneath the sod,
And waits to see 1t push away the clod,
Trusts he In God.
There is no unbelief,

Be patient, heart, light breaketh by and by,
Trusts the Most High.
There is no unbelief,
whoever meath winters fields Of snow
The silent haryests Of the future grow,
Gods power must know.
There is no unbelief.
Content to lock each sense in slumber deep,
Knows God will keep.
There is no unbelief.
Whoever says tomorrow. the unknown,
The future, trusts that power alone,
None dare disown
There is no unbelief,
The heart that looks on where dear eyelids close
And dares to live when life has only woes,
Gods comfort knows.
There is no unbelief.
For thus by day and night unconsclously,
The heart lives by the faith the lips deny,
God knoweth why.

mo more interesting problem than the

apart from sex. Women and men should
both be judged alike as individuals, as per-
sonalities capable OF doing and being great
things. So l hate the words 'authoress'
and ,poetess' and the other feminizing suf-
fixes. @sr ta- s-t5s
NO. indeed. do not think that woman's
so-called invasion OF mans sphere has
tended in any way to coarsen her or rob
her of one whit of her grace and charm.
Look at Susan B.. Anthony, whom they all
ridiculed some years ago, and Julia Ward
Howe Where can. you find any of their
sex who have grown old more delightfully."-

they have? The living and doing of great
