A Sailor Author.

Perceval Gibbon adds his name to that
long list of well-known writer's headed
by Joseph Conrad who owe the develop
ment of their ability to years spent be-
fore the mast.
Joseph Conrad, il will be remembered,
was a sailor from early youth, and Per
ceVal GibbOn went to sea when still only
a boy. He was apprenticed as cadet on
a merchant vessel, but ran away from
the ship because he did not like the dis
Cipline, working his way home before
the mast on q French liner.
The boys reception at the paternal
doorway was not what he anticipated,
and he was obliged to return to sea as
q common sailor. For two years he re-
manned before the mast, having various
exciting experiences and seeing all cor
ners of the globe. From his last snip
he was burnt out, and narrowly escaped
with his life. During his long trips ne
developed his literary turn Of mind by
writing long descriptions OF the places
he visited and the experiences he en-
countered.

Joseph Was the Corner. +"

Young John d. Rockefeller is to
be liked for one thing, at Ieast-his
| loyalty TO his now invisible father.
Even in the juniors justly popular
Sunday school this spirit of defense
for the elder Johns course in finan-
cial and industrial life is visible
often.
By parable, history, and legend the
teacher shows from Sabbath to Sab
bath how the Rockefeller millions
were piled up with purity of motive
and charity for others. For in
stance, in eXpounding the famous
Egyptian corner" in wheat engi-
neered> by Joseph. through which he
obtained liens on the peoples farms,
the younger Rockefeller observes:
You wouldn't expect him TO give
away his corn for nothing, would you2
But look you upon what liberal terms
Joseph took the peoples land. He did
not take IL away from them altogether.
He allowed them to occupy the lands
even after they had traded them for his
corn. They simply paid him rent and
became tenants insteads of landlords
Surely that was generous.
How generous was Joseph's treat
ment of the people he had in the
wheat squeeze" our readers NAV
find out for themselves by an exam
ination of Genesis Xvii. 1926. 1t
is hardly to be believed in the light
of that record they will consider his
operation in the food stuffs of 1000
years ago a model for Rockefeller
or ANYBODY else.

MINISTER URGES ASYLUM
FOR ALL SPIRITUkLISTS

BOSTON. March 3.-The Wiggin-Hodg-
son spirituaIistic performance has been
criticized severely by the Rev. ]. T,
Bland. who urged that those who pat
Tonize mediums should be placed in in
stitutions for safeguarding. Incidentally.
he said. that the beautiful faith called
spiritualism. is full of freaks. frauds,
mountebanks. charlatans of every con-
ceivabie kind.
The speaker declared he had been an
agnostic and an investigator Of spirit
uaIism for many years, but had reached
the conclusion that spiritualism was
full of frauds.
Isn't it marvellous. he asked, that girls
still crane their necks to hear messages
from the spirit world. when they are
so sensible about other things?

GOOD OLD STORY.

When P. I. Barnum was at the head
of his great moral show it was his
rule to send complimentary tickets to
clergymen. Not long after DR.. Walker
succeeded to the pastorate of Dr. Hawkes.
in Hartford, there came to the parson-
age, addressed to DIR. Hawkes., tickets
for the circus, with the compliments of
the famous Snowman.
DIR. Walker studied the tickets for a
moment and then remarked: Or

dead; evidently they have not met

JUST WAITING.

-Earth'S somber arms enfold
The flower host,
The blooms OF red and gold
We love the most;
Beneath the sheathing snow
Are bound and pent
The apple blossoms glow
And orchard scent.
One day shall come the word
That sets them free,
So faint IL is not heard
OF you and me,
Yet they shall hear and heed
The subtle call;
Then bud, and blade, and seed
Shall weaken all.
So. underneath each frown
There waits a smile
That may not be crushed down
But for q while:
Below the silence waits
The laugh and song
Which all our wintry hates
May not hide long.

It would seem, from the description in

that the college Undergraduate is much

A Remarkable Action.

Congress has been exciting itself
good deal, ever since railroad
passes were cut off, about the re-
lations of the railroads TO the coal
business. Resolutions more or less
similar to the Tillman and GiHespie
measures have been before Con-
gress year after year for a decade
or more. II has been universal
knowledge that the Pennsylvania
system practically controlled the
coal business in its territory. But
until the Pennsylvania cut off the
courtesy" of free passes. Congress
seemed strangely incapable of real
izing the wrong of il.
While Congress has been passing
these resolutions to investigate the
relations of railroads and mining,
the Supreme Court has handed down
an epochal decision that railroads
have no business controlling min
ing or industry; they should be car
riers. nothing else; and everybody,
viewing the tremendous iniustfces
and that have resulted from par
ticipation of carriers in industry.
has rejoiced. The time had come,
seemingly, when this huge and
menacing partnership of industry
and transportation was about to be
pulled asunder by the sovereign
hand of the Federal Government.
AT the same time that Congress
was giving itself such concern about
the power of railroads In the coal
fields, there came up for Congress
sional attention a proposal to dis
pose OF one of the greatest coal
fields in America-the half million
acres IN Indian Territory. Sinister |
allegations were banded about the |
pate chamber that a railroad cor
alton, the Rock Island, was
Seeply concerned; that it sought to /
steal this immensely valuable coal /
region, in which it already, under /
a leasing system, has substantial |
monopoly There was ample evil /
dence of the railroads interest. and |
full notice was given of it in COM
mittee on the Senate floor, and in
the press.
Senator La Toilette came forward
with a solution so simple and com
plete that it seemed there should
be no question of its adoption.
Everybody is now agreed" he rea-
soned, that railroads should not /
own coal mines. A good many peo-
pie think a railroad is trying To get
this coal field. So we'll just Ia. sert
here provision that none of this
coal land ever shall be owned BY
a railroad"
The proposition was so absolutely
simple, so obviously effective, so en-
tirely in line with the sentiment of
Congress and the decision of the
Supreme Court, that it seemed that
no man could possibly vote against
it.
And what happened
The Senate by a vote of IS to :
laid it on the table. L
The same men who passed the
Tillman resolution to investigate the :
Pennsylvania stable and see if there !
was a stolen horse inside, voted all 7
put solidly against locking the In
iian Territory stable while the
horse is still inside,
