reports" relating To the privilege of
peers, in which the bailiff who many
years ago arrested Il lord was forced
by the court to kneel down and ask
his pardon though he alleged that he
had acted by mistake, for that his
lordshp had dirty shirt, wornout
suit of clothes and only sixpence IN

FAIR PLAY.
A Plea That La Respected by Almost
All Classes of Men.


There is an appeal to which nearly
all classes Of men give heed-let us
bav9 fair play. You may address
schoolful Of mischievous boys on the
beauties of goodness, on the evils OK
cruelty or harshness to their fellows,
and they will laugh at you. Exhorta-
tions to avoid any abstract evil or
wrong and appeals TO follow any alb.
stract virtue will seem haZy TO almost
any collection of ordinary, healthy and
lusty young boys. but if their sense of
fair play be addressed there is a ready
response.
Go among IL crowd of wharfingers or
longshoremen or the toughest and most
reckless sailors. who have neither
home nor principles of any sort, and
talk to them IF the things Of the head
or of the heart and they will think
that you are harmless but quite fu-
tile specimen from crankdom. Try 20
awaken In them Il horror of the brutal.
lty of their u ;1lal life. speak in moving
terms of the force and beauty of kind
ness or OF virtue or Of any attribute
OF a polite and civilized society and
way Of life, and you will be soliciting
the wind, talking to Il statue, shouting
In the desert. But in the most uncouth
assemblage ami in the viest haunt in
the English speaking world mention
fair play and found your argument
and your plea on that basis, and the
effect Is instant and eloquent. Phila-

strength. Among them We're Edith
Lawson and Isabel DAVIS. who had ar
rived upon the grounds escorted by
Edith'S brother Dick, but he had left
them TO speak to one of the athletes
and had disappeared. This incident
had put the usually smiling and amia-
bic Edith out of temper, and long be
fore the first trial on the programme
had been called she was in a captious
mood and wishing she had not come.
Miss DAVIS. on the contrary, was all
enthusiasm and anticipation, and her
ordinations finally brought forth the
remark from Edith:

excellent reason for the belief that
