Didn't Keep the appointment.

A young American student at Prague
fell deeply in love with pretty Ger
man girl and sent her a note propos-
ing place of meeting. He wrote:
THAT my darling may make no mis-
take. remember. l will wear q light
pair of trousers and a dark cutaway
coat. In my right hand l will carry a
cane and in the left cigar. Yours

of the note and sent this answer:

TRIUMPH OF THE RURAL LIFE.
And the one thing which will make
it more easily possible. which will tend
the most to draw the city dweller to
the country and relieve the lonesome

the good roads. for which n great move

electric railway systems which are
threading the rural districts in every
thickly settled farming section of our
country.
All these are forerunners of the final
triumph of the rural life and of a new

Barclay hesitatingly poured out a

A strange thing then occurred. Bar

set the untouched liquor on the bar
again. Gentlemen" he said, You'll

banged his fist down on the bar and
exclaimed: IF you can't drink with
US, you can't trade with us-that's

Barclay turned to him, his face
very white, and said slowly:-"Then

An embarrassed silence followed.

continued Barclay, my mother and ]

THEIR SINS FOUND THEM OUT

Peoria, Illinois, the seat of the big
gest whiskey distillery in the world, is
certainly having her faith in her public
men and her religious and educational
leaders sorely tried. A few months
ago Professor Dougherty, for 25 years
superintendent of city schools, prom
inent officer of the national educational
association, president of the First Ma .
tional bank of Peoria and of a savings
bank, was found to have robbed the
school fund during a long term Ct
years of over a million dollars and to
be defaulter in mis- relations with the
two banks. This revelation. was a
great shock to the people Of Peoria
who had trusted Professor Dougherty
implicitly .t..
And as if this were not enough, Rev
George Simmons, pastor of the First
Baptist church, a noted author and
lecturer, president of two savings
diiu IildlidSCl III Ills SOuLty VI
Ex-Governor Yates senatorial cam
paign, was found to be a corrupter OF
youth of the Oscar Wilde stripe, and
last Tuesday night when given "a
hours to get out of town in order e
save the regulations of the boys con-
cerned, he committed suicide by TAX
ing cyanide of potassium.
| Here were two men who "stole the
livery of heaven to serve the devil

thorny path to heaven and rocked not

ENGLISH RADICALISM.

President Eliot Of Harvard finds
the notable tendency Of the times to
be toward democracy. 1t is present
in all countries Russia has given
solid evidence of a desire to be done
with a ruling c'ass; France has at
firmed her faith in the republic d
such a way as to assure its perma-
nence; Germany curbs it's kaiser by
means of a stubborn public opinion.
which puts limits upon his energies;
Norway has recently elected a king
who owes his office directly to the
people and who is really the mes
senger of the parliament; England
has given striking evidence of the
growth of the democracy even for
country which was considered pretty
thoroughly democratic before.
In the elections for the new parlia-
ment it is fact that not merely has
the liberal party won victory, but
the people have reconstructed the lib
eral party. Nearly all the dukes and
dignitaries have been gently put aside
and their places filled with "misters."
The labor party, which is merely
the advanced political radicalism
of Great Britain, has chosen up
ward of forty members of the new
house of commons. Six years ago it
had seven. Wherever liberal and la
Dor candidates have stood together
for a constituency returning two
members, the labor candidate has
polled the larger vote. In some ina
stances he mas carried the liberal poll
tician through on his back.
The present strength Of the labor
party in politics is quite likely to have
visible effect upon the legislation Of
the new parliament. The legal status
of the trades unions is likely to be es-
tablished upon grounds more agree
able to the labor leaders, who have not
liked the house of lords interpreted
tions Of the old law which left a Ia
Dor union liable to be sued
But trades unionism is not all of the
strength of the labor party in English
politics. 1t represents a revolt against
ruling class, hereditary legislators
and titled dawdlers. John Burns first
act as head of the local government
board was to remove from office ii
lord who had neglected his duties as
poor guardian in his county. This
represents the spirit of the new DEM
ocracy better than a hundred speeches
could. 1t is call to public duty, re-
CARELESS of rank or wealth. 1t is
leveling process which aims to rea-
lie the truth in Burns lines, which
were good literature always. but nave
only recently been a prevailing influ-
ence in English politics.

SEEING AMERICA FIRST.

The movement to induce American
tourists to travel at home, while it is
based upon the theory that AmerI-
can money spent at home will help
to enrich America, while American
money spent abroad stays there, and
is therefore, on a rather low plane
yet deserves to be encouraged for
higher reasons.
1t should be the pride of the
American with money to travel upon
to know his own country first. The
new education recognizes that this is a
logical scheme of geography when it
starts the child in his own dooryard
and reaches Asia in natural sequence.
The old geography, beginning with
Mercator's projection, plunged the
child at once into a wilderness of the
nom understandable. i
However, we are quite apt to over
estimate the vast benefits of keeping
our money at home. Logically il
would prevent Washingtonians from
visiting Florida, Niagara or Yosemite
as it would taboo Athens, Rome and
Paris. 1t could thus very easily be
carried to extremes.
Nor is it so certain that money
spent by Americans abroad stays
there. 1t is quite probable that a
portion of our grea- foreign trade is
due to the fact that our tourists give
the Europeans some money to trade
with. If this be true, We might view
it that the money of the leisure class
spent in Europe comes back to help
stimulate the industries of this coun-
try, and thus sustain the labor class
However, this does not disturb the
excellent proposition that the Ameri-
can should know his own country
first. After he has done mis- duty by
his own country his spendings
abroad will not be criticized. Mean
while let it be borne in mind that thu
American who has never seen the Ma
tional park, Or the Rocky mountains
or the Everglades, or Niagara, or the
great cities of his own land is a jibe
abroad.

THE CULT OF SILENCE.
Truest Intercourse Between C0n0en.
ial Spirits II without Words.

Truest Intercourse Between COn0en-
ial Spirits II without Words.
Now, to keep ones freshness there
ought to be q zone Of silence around
every human being during some part
Of every day. 1t is significant that the
great religions Of the world have come
out of silence and not out of noise, and
the finest creative work is done, as a
rule, In seclusion-not necessarily apart
from men nor in solitary places, but
away from the tumult and away from
distracting sounds.
It is in silence alone that we come
into possession Of ourselves. The noises
of life disturb us as a cloud Of dust in
tervenes between the eye and the sky.
There ought to be cult for the prac-
tice Of silence-a body of men and
women committed to the preservation
of the integrity Of their souls by nei-
Their hearing nor making speech for
certain periods, pledged to the culture
of the habit Of Quietness.
Maeterlinck has pointed out the fact
that the best things are never spoken,
and the truest intercourse between con-
genial spirits Is carried on without
words. If we said less and thought
more there would be far fewer things
to explain, many sources Of irritation
would be dried up at the sources and
the prime cause Of irritation. which is
nervous exhaustion or excitement,
would be removed.-Outl1ok.

TURKEY PUZZLE OF LANDS

Indiana Congressman's 81 900 In
vestment Makes Him q Skeptic.
Representative Charles B. Lands of
Indiana bought a farm near Delphi,
Ind, last summer, says a Washington
special dispatch to the New York
World. The man who sold it to him
advised him to raise bronze turkeys for
the holiday markets.
I'm two years you can make your
turkeys pay for this place." he said.
Mr.. Lands invested $500 in flock of
turkeys-eight hens and $3.50 COB
bier Another $500 was spent in build
Ing runways and pens for them.
One luckless morning two hens dis
appeared. The remaining six were
each put on a sitting of eggs and all
produced broods. When five weeks old
the little fellows were turned out to
scratch gravel The whole flock, big
and little, made break for the wheat
field. The wheat was covered with
dew and the chicks were a sadly be-
draggled lot. That night all Of the
young turkeys died except three. The
two hens which disappeared walked in
two weeks later. One was followed by
brood Of eleven and the other by
nine-the finest looking young turkeys
ever seen along the Wabash.
Mr.. Lands is now making inquiries
at the department of agriculture wheth-
er 1t Is better to keep your turkeys
penned up and lose all your money or
turn them loose and make money.

CUBA'S GIFT TO ALICE.

Cuba is going to give Alice Roose-
welt a $4,000 wedding present OF
course there will be directors and
the acceptance of such a gift by the
presidents daughter, will be made the
occasion for some carping and en-
vious criticism. Nevertheless it is a
very graceful thing for the Cubans
to do. They not only owe a great
deal to the United States, but a great
deal to the president personally for
his fidelity to promises made by this
country to Cuba. The president stood
for Cuban reciprocity against bitter
opposition and largely to his nj
fiuence Is due the fact that our

Howelrs "Welsh Celebrities" says:
"Llewenn had the longest beard Of
which we have record. When loose
and flowing it fell down over his
horses shoulders almost to the ami
mails knees. 1t was Of a peculiar gel
low or straw color, which was all the
more curious, both his parents being
dark haired mountain Welsh people.
Years afterward the mountain people
had proverbs which referred to this
freak, they often using the expression,
About as long as Howland's beard or
yellow as the whiskers Of Llewenn.'
George Kilingworth, whom Queen
Mary sent to Russia in 1856 as one of
her agents to Car Ivan the Terrible,
