The District Attorneys ONCE today
tentatively set the trial of CASTOR

his case upon a plea of self-defense.

quarrel with the clubman in the Airing

self from injury Philip shot MacAboy.

that as a result Of the quarrel which

him when he reached his room. IL viii

hIoral Inability.

What is the meaning Of dead in
trespasses and sins?"s We must take
great care in our use of the illustra.
ton of death in connection with sins!
Physical death, Of course includes
absolute insensibility, or else there
would be nothing to which the evan
gelist could appeal and no conscious
ness of responsibility What 1t does
mean is moral inability. Man La SO
far gone from original righteousness
that he Is absolutely unable by nus
own unaided effort, without divine
grace, to come back to God. Thus
the sinner, SO far as ability is con-
cerned, needs, not merely an awaken,
ing from slumber, but the bestoWai
of new life.
Keep In view this distinction be-
tween moral insensibility and moral
inability, and apply the term dead
in trespasses and sins" to the latter.

A Naval Prediction.

The chief constructor of the French
Navy is quoted as saying that he is
convinced that the battleship and
armored cruiser must before long be
merged into a single type, the battle
cruiser. This resultant %concentra-
ton of great attack and defense with
extreme speed will, he believes, be
found illustrated, say, ia 1915, in a
vessel of $4,000 tons, mounting a
unit battery of high calibre guns and
developing a speed of not less than
twenty-five knots.
The French constructor is also per-
suaded that any navy now bold
enough to lay down battleships of
$4,000 tons displacement will by
n stroke secure a tremendous ad-
vantage over all it's rivals, because a
squadron of four such vessels will
greatly outclass six battleships less
effective in the energies that can be

The War Governor Of Kansas.

Kansas famous war Governor,
Samuel Crawford, lives most of the
time in this city. Governor Crawford
was one of the youngest but most
energetic and farsighted of that class
of Executives at the North who dur
ing the Civil War raised and equipped
the troops called for by MI. Lincoln
to put down the rebellion. He does
not look more than sixty, though his
age is considerably beyond that point,
and he is as active in the practice Of
law as any man half his years. His
acquaintance with the public men of
the day is broad and intimate, and
he enjoys life at the Capitol with a
zest betokening his satisfaction with
and undated interest in the affairs
Of the nation. He was a fighting war
Governor, and not one of them made
a finer record than he.-Washington

How Cleveland Hopes to Make
Prisoners and Patients Self
Supporting.
By W. Frank Mcclure.

Cleyeland's new farm colony of
1900 acres, on which are being
grouped in separate villages the city
%workhouse prisoners, the inhrmary
wards and the patients suffering from
tubercular disease, represents an in
novation in municipal affairs that is
bound to attract attention. The pop
ulation of this city farm, already
numbering into the hundreds, will ul-
timately reach 1000. The present
area will probably be increased to
5000 acres when all the city's penal,
sanitary and philanthropic institu-
lions shall have been moved from
the busy streets far into the country.
The new plan not only represents a
philanthropy, but also an economy,
one department or Institution being
made to serve another, to the end
that the whole is to become self-sup-
porting, If the hopes entertained for
it are realized.
The site Of this new city farm is
some ten miles from the central part
of Cleveland, near the little rural
town Of W~arrensville. 1t is 600 feet
above Lake Erie, the highest point in
Cuyahoga County. The air Is just
the thing for tubercular troubles, and

The Woman With the Pipe
By WINIFRED BLACK.

A Minneapolis woman Is having
the time Of her life horrifying the in
nocent ~passers-by by strolling up and
down the main thoroughfares of her
native city smoking a large and en-.
thusiastic briarwood pipe.
She says she hates to smoke, and
can't bear the smell Of tobacco, and
she's just smoking in public to show
the men Of Minneapolis that a woman
has as much right to smoke as they
have.
How interesting!
Have women the same right to
smoke as men? Why, Of course, they
have.
A woman has as much right to
smoke or to drink, or to chew tobacco
or to use naughty words, or to put
her feet on the table when she talks,
or to stand up in the back OF the
theatre with her hat in her hand, or
to get up and give her seat in the
street car to another woman as a
man has to do any Of these very COM
monplace things. Why don't women
do these things, then? For the SIM
pie reason that they don't want to do
them.
Men have just as much right to eat
chocolates, give teas and sit on the
veranda and make tatting as women
have. They don't do 1t, do they?
Why should they? They don't want
to-that's why.
The American woman does not
want to smoke, my dear Minneapolis
madam. If she did, she'd do it; and
she would not need you to lead her
on to a big victory, either. What
absurd nonsense this idea of a war
for rights between the sexes is any,
how!
If I were a nice, rosy peach, grow
ing on a nice, wholesome peach tree,
I'd do my best to be as rosy and as
wholesome and peachy as I could.
1 wouldn't worry about the apple
tree that grew next to me. I'd be a
peach, and I wouldn't want to look
or seem in any way the least bit like
even the p%rettiest, ros.sst apple in the
whole orchard.
If I were a man, I'd be a man and
not an imitation of a woman, and as
long as I'm a woman I'm going to do
the things that women like to do, and
If anybody calls me ? downtrodden
slave for minding my own affairs, in
my own way-why, that's for them
to worry about and not for me.
When I get so that I want to smoke
a pipe I'll cut my hair, put on a pair
Of trousers, and begin to look pleas
ant at every pretty girl I meet.
Until then, thank you, Madam Min
neapolis, you may smoke your pipe
alone for all of me.-New York

O r OF WISDOM.

The root Of all evil seems to thrive
in any soil.
Our creditors ought to organize a
Don't Worry Society.
We are constantly adding wings to
u castles in the air.
The cost of experience is generally
money well invested.
A girl doesn't need a fountain pen
to write a, gushing letter.
1t isn't until a man lives to learn
that he really learns to live.
Besides gathering no moss, 4 roll
ing stone gravitates down hill.
1t is when duty calls that we are
apt to send word that we are out.
A woman may regard marriage as
a tie, but it is never tongue-tied.
The trouble with the average
bread-winner is that he wants cake.
A maj doesn't necessarily have to
marry in haste to repent at leisure,
Marriage is a lottery, and the only
lucky gamblers are those who don't
play.
Brevity is the soul Of wit, which is
perhaps why so few preachers are
witty.
You couldn't broaden out some
men by runping over them with a
steam roller.
When a girl refuses a fellow and
he doesn't go to the bad it is a bitter
blow to her pride.
The pure-food people should get
onto the fact that most of the love
is adulterated with filthy lucre.
There's q lot of difference between
forgetting what we ought to know
and knowing what we ought to for
get.
When a man likes to be different
from other people, the other people
are generally quite satisfied to have
him so.

try with the disinterested affection
felt by a foreign nobleman for an

The C~ostliness of Low Standards.

It costs less to live up to Chrlsts
highest standards than to live by any
other standards yet discovered. For
living is costly, from any standpoint;
but Christ's followers find that the
greatest cost is the least. The high
est cost of doing right is always less
than the lowest cost of doing wrong
A family that is making d strug-
gle to do right by living within lts
income finds il q costly matter to give
nm many a comfort and seeming ne
cessity of life. But such a family
soon learns that wrongly-incurred
debt costs more than self-denial, as
those who have tried both plans can
testify. Whatever we pay out in do
ing right is repaid to us tenfold:
Whatever we pay out in doing wrong
is a permanent loss.-Sunday school
