True Statesmanship.

The dead soldier of the civil war in the first place should teach us that the statesman who ought to be most re- spected in American politics is not nee essarlly the man who Is elected to of flee, but the mau who would sooner be defeated for advocating a just princi- pie than elected for advocating a wrong one. He should teach us that Jeroboam in exile may be more of a true friend to his country than Rehoboam. the heir apparent to throne publicly de- nouneed and disgraced Queen Nashti Is infinitely to be preferred to Jezebel holding in her right hand the signet of ring of a reigning king He should teach Us that a Toussaint LOuverture fight ing for the liberation of his beloved Haiti and dying in the dark dungeon of a French prison or William Wallace foully executed in London for lighting for the freedom of Scotland or an Oliver Cromwell endangering his lie by de- nouncing the tyrnnies of King Charles is to be honored infinitely above the apos- tates who for wealth or fame or posi- tion sold their honor and their princi- ples and betrayed their country's rights And vet strange to say, often does country estimate statesmans success not by the fealty with which he guards her rights, but by his ability to force himself into office. no matter what means he must use to attain 1t.
 Is not this fact absolutely true in refer ence to Napoleon Bonaparte? He was not only honored when he was alive but he was and is honored by the French people and by the world when he is dead. Never was there funeral procession like that which brough his dust back from St. Helena to sleep its last sleep upon the banks of the river Seine. The son of the king whom Napoleon had de- throned went forth in ship to this treas ured burden from British soil. England took the eagle and Austria the eaglet,
 were the words of Victor Hugo wrote 10 poetically describe the English irn- prisonment of Napoleon l. and the Aus trian appropriation of the little king or Rome. Yet in what way did Napoleon benefit France? Did he live Tor her ,eace or her strength or her honor? No. He was simply a great murderer great as a robber. great as merclless tyrah', He made wars he levied taxes, ne leo his people to the slaughter merely Tor his own aggrandizement. He crusneo the members of his own home under ms iron heel for his own convenience when it suited him He banqueted year alter year upon the sufferings and agonies of France and cared not now many hearts ached and hled as long as Napoi cons standards were to the Tore anu Napoleon's throne was lifteS higher even

Liberty and Education.

What is the practical application or this thought? Chief among the enduring guarantees of future peace Is the pres ence of our schools and school teachers in foreign lands. Too much money can not be expended upon our pubic schooi system. Porto Rico and the Philippines will never be truly conquered for Amer lea until American schools have educated those colonsts and taught them 10 real- ize the meaning of American nperey, That was very wise move of the uhi.eu States government which a few years ago brought the Cuban school teachers under the classic walls of old HarVaru, Roberts college in Constantlnopie anu the Presbyterian schools at Beirut are the two wedges which shall overthrow the brutalities of the Turkish empire' China, through the influence o1 our ms sionary schools, shall yet become si- gantic nation, sworn to perpetual peace and to forever avert the horrors or an other Bower uprising. And that Vast gov ernment of Russia, made up or many

The prices run from 20 to 70 cents per
gross. For exactly the same pen. there
are differences as high as 20 cents per

Underwood company on condition that
no other machine shall be used in the

NEW YORK. Sept 15.-"Yes, that's
Ella. That's my poor girl"
Sobbing out these words. the father
of the girl who killed herself at the
Hotel Manhattan recognized her feat
ures. cold in death as he looked upon
the body today In the undertaking rooms
on Fourth avenue
The father of the suicide is Lorenzo
ID Berry, prosperous citizen of West
Medford, suburb of Boston He said
bis daughter was Ella Berry and that
she was only twenty-one years old She
lad been employed as a stenographer I'm
Boston and left her home in West Bed
ford last Tuesday night
The father, accompanied by the girls
brother, Elmer F. Berry. arrived in
New York in the Fall River boat. and
went directly to the undertaking rooms
While the boy remained in an outer
room the father went back to where the
remains had been placed.
An Alleged Elopement.
Mr. Berry said that his daughter was
employed by West Medford firm. Last
summer she went on a vacation I'm
Maine to a place where her EMPLOYER
also took his vacation.
In some manner the story i,ecame cur
rent that the pair had eloped. The
story became widely circulated. and
sreatiy depressed the girl On her re-
'urh nome she traced the story TO its
source and secured a public retraction.
IN spite OF this. the affair proved
upon the girl.s mind. She grew more
depressed. and for days would not speak
to anyone ps''A
Mr.. Berry said that he believed his
oangnter.s mind was affected. and
asked her to so away, but she declined
On Tuesday she left for business as

Although she registered from Wash
