A Tithe-COlIectOr.

When any one, even the minister,
attempted an argument with Miss
Marie Higgins, he was pretty sure to
find himself worsted in the end.
The minister objected ut times to
the firm manner in which Miss Hig-
gins placed his duty before him at
every opportunity, although he had a
great respect for her character.
II can't see my way to preaching a
sermon on tithes just yet" he sald'
meekly, one day, when Miss Higgins
had been making him a long call
1.-THE people haven't much money, you
know, Miss Higgins, and they cant
divide up other things very well. Even
you couldn't, always. Suppose, for In

The free list has lately been suspend
ed, and only those connected with the
business are now allowed to enter this
country without paying admission.
The law provides that aliens shall pay
a fee of two dollars before they are
allowed to land, but 1t has not been
rigidly enforced. A German professor,
who had to pay the fee for the priv
ilege of passing through this great
American museum Of art, industry
and enterprise on his way home from
China, was indignant to learn that we
do not conduct a free show, whereas

country who finds himself in the little
Latin republic of Cuba may be read

Cuban is a veritable infant in govern

patiently. With all that this implies,
it is hard to see how the Americans
in the Isle of Pines can really have
understood that that little patch of

United States. The letter recently
sent to Secretary Root by the presi-
dent of the American Club there is
itself conclusive that they have been

sional organization without asking ad-
vice of the Secretary. No American
Is ever at a loss about such a step II

If there were any doubt the reply Of
Mr.. Root must dissipate it at once.

Cuba for centuries, and that there
was never any purpose by Spain t.

from their legitimate function Of pre-
pairing for life to the illegitlmate func-
ton Of preparing for university Is a
crying evil. 1t overloads the public

wears out teachers In attempting the
impossible and wastes the time Of the
great majority of the pupils. The
