BRITISH CASTE.
Love of the Eng1ishman For q Titled
Ruling Class.

Love of the Englishman For q Titled
Ruling Class.
The presence of personal sovereign
Is the outward and visible sign that
caste Is still supreme in the British en-
pire. The external abuses of the feudal
system have been abolished In Great
Britain, one by one, until those that
still linger are almost harmless, but
the inner spirit survives to this late
day, and even now Its manifestations
are abundant In almost every part Of
the social structure of the British Isles.
There is still alive the fiction that the
king rules and that the army Of the
empire Is his majesty's army. There is
still willing acceptance of the titled
aristocracy and also of an upper house.
the vast majority of whose members
sit there by the right Of birth only,
without regard to their Individual
merits.
No doubt the British people could
change these things speedily and with
out violence If they really desired to
get rid Of this Inheritance from feudal-
ism. But they have not got rid Of 1t,
and this is evidence enough that they
do not wish to do so.
The British see no reason to abolish
a state of affairs which the American
people look at with amazed wonder as
a survival of the dark ages. A native
American finds it wholly impossible to
understand the mental attitude of a
certain man of letters In London, who
justified his ingrained toryism by the
assertion that he simply would not be
ruled by his equals.-Reader,

Be Kind to Thy Pastor

Be kind TO thy PastorAfor when thou
Who warned thee so kindly as he Z
Who more gladly hailed thee, when
from the dark way
OF error thou turneth to flee?
Be kind to thy Pastor, for still on his
heart,
He bears thee with fond anxious care,
And fears lest from Jesus thy feet may
depart,
Allured by the worlds cruel snare.
Be kind to thy Pastor, he prayeth for
thee,
When no mortal eye watches near.
Alone in the closet he bendeth the
knee,
When none but God only can hear.
And earnestly pleads that thy soul
may be kept
From all that endangers it free.
Oh, who shall declare how oft he hath
wept,
And wrestled in secret for thee?
Be kind to thy pastor, for when sor-
rows approach,
And death shall thy pilgrimage close,
Then true to the last he'll stand by thy
couch,
And whisper of Heavens repose.
And oh, when the Savior his ransomed
shall meet,
If thou in that number appear,
The bliss of thy Pastor will then be
complete,
For his joy and his crown will be there.

The new naturalization law passed [
at the last session Of congress ought
to put stop to much Of the illegal
voting that has for years been going |
on in this country. One Of the provi-
sions OF the new law is that aliens who
come to the United States before they
are IS years old, have to file certificates
of intention to become citizens two
years before they can receive natural
ization papers. Under the old law
such persons could become natural
lied Immediately upon reaching the
age Of q years.
All applicants must show that they
have lived in this country continuous
ly for five years, and that they have
been and are of good character. These
facts must be established by reputable
witnesses. The old law required only
one witness. The new law also re-
uuires q careful description OF the
applicant taken when he obtains his
first papers, and stating his age, height,
weight, color OF eyes and hair, and
other distinguishing marks. This will
prevent foreigners from obtaining nat
uralization papers on first papers taken
out by someone else, which was one OF
the most common of the many abuses
under the old law.
Not less than two years nor more
than seven may elapse between the
issue of the declaration of intention
and the final citizenship papers. In
order to obtain the latter it is necessary
for the applicant to file a petition in
writing, signing it personally and
stating the date and place of his birth,
date and place of arrival in the United
States, and variety of other informa-
ton, with similar statements for his
wife and children, If he has any, and
stating that he is not a disbeliever in
organized government or a polygamist.
He must be able to speak English.
The law went into effect Sept. 81.
After that date, all first papers filed
under the old law are good for seven
years after they were issued, but in no
case can final action be taken on Pc
tition for citizenship papers until at
least 80 days elapses after filing notice
on such petition. The naturalization
of an alien cannot take place within 30
days preceding the holding Of any
general election. Under this rule it
was impossible for foreigners to become
naturalized under the new law, In
season for the coming November
elections, il petitions were not filed be-
fore the law went into effect.
The law provides penalties for vio-
lation of its provisions, Of fines not ex-
ceeding $4,000, and imprisonment not
exceeding five years.-Fdrma and

the moose was allowed to slip down

Another instant and the bronco would
have lcared through the moose. but just

Jim coiled his rope and swung off his

In spite Of the fact that the cowboys
sphere OF influence Is constantly mar
rowing. md there is less occasion for
using the rope than in the days Of the
great herds. there are many skillful
ropers in the west. They appear al
nearly all the bronco busting enter
tainments. which prove so popular in
the west. and their work is always one
Of the chief features Of the day.
There Is something about the deft
handling Of the rope that fniriy fasci-
mates the average audience, and the
cowbOyW themselves never tire OF
watching their champions And the
boss roper Of every roundup outfit al
ways has his earnest partisans when
he enters a contest.
One Of the favorite tricks of the lariat
experts is To make the lasso whirl
about In perfect circle and then leap
IN and out Of the moose. Sometimes
this is done by two performers. One

and will make the rope play about his
waist. Then the other roper will stoop
and crawl inside the circle The second

from the first and the latter will then

WONDERS WITH LARlAT.
Westernsrs Arc Skilled in the Use OF
the Rope.

A slim young fellow in picturesque
cowboy attire had, been doing some
difficult feats in horsemanship for the
.ielectation of small but critical crowd
in the sprightly COW town OF Gillette.

saddle. and then began an exhibition
that delighted the assembled cowmen
and sheep herders.

hide iariat will run more smoothly and
is less subject to kinks. however. and
this may have something to do with the
phenomenal skill shown by the south

it touch the clothing OF either. This is

Probably the most spectacular game
is sort Of battle royal, which several
