COUNTING THE COST.

In his address to the American Bar
association at st. Paul., George r. Peck,
the president. struck a note of deep
interest when he suggested that the
constantly increasing tendency toward
a multiplicity of laws is limiting the
activity and development of the indi-
vidual, the unit Of society In his
view the complexity of modern cIviliZa-
ton and of our national life inevitably
calls for an increase in the number of
laws, but he depIores the number of en-
actments which are purely administra-
tive. defining what may and what may
not be done IN business and other af-
fairs formerly supposed to be the do
main Of individual action.
Mr.. Peck. in his limited time, could
not discuss the whole of his subject
but he touched upon one of the vital
questions OF this generation. There
is no doubt but that the consolidation
Of business enterprises, the centraliza-
ton of great industries in a few hands,
the predatory competition which meets
the newcomer in almost every line of
business. is sitting the individual init
ative and limiting the younger genera
ton to employment as wage-earners
over the field of business, one sees
very little opportunity as compared
with the field Of, say, twenty years
ago. Where there were small stores,
the larger ones only are paying; where
there were small manufactures furnish
ing the individual independence as we'll
as a living, the great machines of cor
porate creation control production. The
small bakery, the small shoe shop, the
hundred and one small establishments
in various lines have all given way
TO the big corporations with practically
unlimited capital
1t may be true, as their friends urge,
that these big establishments effect an
economy impossible under the old sys-
TEN, but the consumer finds no ad-
inures only TO monopoly and gives him
no share in the saving. The COM
munity at large may gain, though the
cash gain is doubtful; and even if
there is a net saving in dollars and
cents, is it worth while? Does not de-
pendence upon great corporations and
the limitation of individual opportunity
injure the whole community? Isn't the
cost in manhood degraded too big
a price to pay for an economic gain?
1t is one Of the hopeful signs of the
times that men are beginning to ask
about these things, are figuring the
cost Of restricted opportunity, and are
wondering whether the commercial as
cendancy of the nation has not been
bought at fearful sacrifice of indi-
vidual liberty.

PLUCK OF A LITTLE DOG.
TINY Animal Attacked a Lion in De.
Tense of It's Fallen
Master.

Victory is not always a matter OF
size or strength, nor is courage Who'll
ly in proportion to bulk. The grittiest
creatures, indeed, are often small, as
was the dog which did mis- duty SO eff
f~ectually in the incident which a
writer in the Bulawayo Chronicle de-
scribes.
A man namet. De Beer, of Shiloh,
had started early one morning for a
Journey on foot in Matabeleland, leaving
his boy" to pack up and follow him.
He had not gone half a mile when he
heard a growl, and turning, saw an i'm
mense lioness about so years away, and
rapidly approaching. AS quickly as pos
sible he raised his magazine rifle. She
was within 20 PAGES when he fired. The
shot broke her jaw.
The second shot broke one Of her fore
legs. The third, fired just as she sprang
on De Beer, missed altogether, and the
man was borne down.
In a few seconds he was mauleG and
bitten. and his left hand severely in
iured. There seemed little hope that he
could escape alive, for his gun was out
of reach, and the ~lioness, lying on him,
prevented him from moving.
But with De Beer was one companion,
a little terrier. The tiny animal flew
bravely at the lions ear, got a good hold,
and hung grimly on. This made the
brute shift a little, and De Beer was able
to reach his rifle again with his right
hand and shoot the lioness through the
chest. She fell dead on top of him-his
left hand still in her mouth.

WELL-POSTED SERVANTS.
ENGLISH Butler Who Gave His EN-
ployer's Daughter a Hint
on Etiquette.

There is no parsonage more deeply
and defe3entially aware of his own
importance than the English butler;
next to him in privileges, and ahead
of him in sturdy frankness, must
stand the Scotch gardener, says Youths
Companion.
1t was Darwin's gardener who,
when a friend of the family inquired
after the health Of the famous nat
uralist, who had been somewhat all
ing, replied confidentially that he did
not doubt his master would. be bet
ter eff only he could find something TO
do" The patient and minute search
in which he daily saw Darwin en-
gagged struck his mind as merely a
foolish and fussy form of trifling, not
worthy to be considered an occupa-
ton. If. instead of bothering about
the digestive capacity OF worthless in
%sectivorous plants, the great man had
grown cabbages or raised roses, the
gardeners opinion OF him would
doubtless have been higher.
The gardener of Prof. Huxley, with
equal Inconsistencies of doing so.
also cast a slur upon his renowned
employer.
Mrs. Huxley, fearful that he might
be overworked, had inquired if he did
not need some assistance.
No came the reply, 1.-The place is
not very large, and Mr.. Huxley is
almost as good as another man."
Better than either of these true tales
is hat CT the butler in a fine old
English family, whose long service
had caused him to feel a personal and
proprietary interest in the sons and
daughters of the house. He could
not acuuit himself of a sense of re-
sponsibility for their manners and
conduct. and when at a large dinner
party he noticed one of them, a young
girl who had but recently entered So
ciety. devote an amount of attention
to her agreeable neighbor on the
right obviously in excess of that &C.
corded TO the less fascinating gentle
man on her other side, his perturba-
ton increased till it could no longer
be borne in silence.
Under pretense of passing her a
dish, he managed ~cleyerly to whisper
in her ear:
ga little more conversation to the
left, miss"

him, and its contents, bottles, glasses
and corkscreN, were put in evidence,
