THE CHRIST OF THE ANDES.

Not many years ago Chill and Argen-
tina were on the verge of war; An old
boundary dispute had broken out anew,
and was intensified by the discovery of
an unsuspected value in the eighty
thousand square miles of territory in
volved. The two nations grew more
hostile. Each was goaded by the others
warlike preparations to make more pro-
vision for a war believed to be inevita-
bic. Their standing armies were in
creased to a burdensome size, and their
navies were enlarged by new and ex-
pensive ships. The tax for these waste
full preparations amounted to five dol
lars per capita in the two nations.
1t was this movement that gave
focus to peace sentiment. The plan To
erect statue of Christ between the
nations rebuked the clamor for war.
AT last the boundary dispute was re-
ferred by agreement to the King
of England; and his decision, which
awarded to each nation part of what
it had contended for, gave general
satisfaction. Then the two nations,
gratified by the result, signed treaty,
agreeing that for a term of years all
controversies between them should be
submitted to arbitration, and that they
would reduce their armies and nayies.
The women of the two nations took
up the movement for the monument.
A young sculptor, Mateo Alfonso, mod
eled the statue of Christ, which was
cast in bronze produced from old can
non. 1t is twenty-siX feet in height,
and is supported by a granite column
surmounted by globe, on which the
map of the world is outlined. In His
left hand the Christ holds cross, rising
five feet above the statue. His right
hand is outstretched in blessing. Below
are two tablets. One gives the history
of the monument, and the other says,
"Sooner shall these mountains crumble
into dust than shall the people OF
Argentina and of Chill break the peace
to which they have pledged themselves
at the feet of Christ the Redeemer."
On the very summit of the Andes,
and on the boundary-line settled with
mutual satisfaction and without strife,
the statue was erected March Is, 1904,
benediction to the nations that erected
it, and lesson to the world.
The new battle-ships were sold, and
the proceeds turned to peaceful uses.
Regiments have been mustered out,
and the men have returned to their pro-
ductive vocations. The arsenal of Chill
has been converted into school. The
roads and harbors of both nations have
been improved with the money saved
from war. The great transandean rail-
way is tunneling through the mountains
and bringing the nations nearer together
in time and commercialinterests. Taxes
are reduced. The people prosper. Best
of all, the Spirit of the Christ has
shown the world a better way than
war. Our Dumb Animals.

THROW AWAY YOUR YARDSTICK,

There are people who want a yard
stick and pair of scales to determine
just what they shall do for others. be
they friends or employers or the big
world of outsiders. They live in con-
slant fear of doing little more than is
required of them, of giving a trifie
more than they have received; and in
the effort to be exact, and not pay
too much for value received, they
frequently fall little short. Balances
that weigh to a tiny fraction of an
ounce, and measures which mark a
hundredth part of an inch. are not es-
sential to our dealing with the world.
We do not need to be afraid of giving
too much, of exceeding by some small
fraction what has been done for us. 1t
is the open-handed, generous giver to
whom the world opens its heart. 1t is
the young man who is not afraid of
doing more work than he is paid for,
who gets his salary raised.
with what measure ye mete, it shall
be measured to you again." is proved
true in every life, taken as whole,
and the one who discards measurements,
and simply does his best, receives the
same lavish generosity. We are the
chief sufferer by our purpose not to
exceed by half-inch the standard set
for us in another's giving. Let us
throw away our yardstick. Young

WHAT IS HAPPINESS?

lin response to request for definition of
Happiness, General Baron Kuroki. the famous
Japanese soldier. made the following state
ment to an Evening Journal representative !
To me, as soldier, happiness means
when my Emperor's country is at peace
with all the world, for / do not like
wars. l fight in them only because it
is my duty to my Emperor to battle for
my Emperor's rights, and to avenge
his wrongs. But ! would rather see
the whole worlds peace established for
all time. Then I would be supremely
happy.
To me, as civilian, happiness lies
in contented home life, a loving,
honorable wife, and devoted, honorable
children. Domestic peace is, after all,
the fundamental basis of all earthly
happiness. From it, and it alone, in
evitably springs all bliss here. With
out it no man is truly happy. Then,
too, another absolute essential to hap
piness is the consciousness of having
done what ones conscience believes to
be right.

DISEASE AMONG QUAIL.
Most Important Game Birds May
Become Infected.

Lovers of game birds all over the
United States will be disturbed to hear
that there is an outbreak of disease
among the quail of the country that
threatens serious results. The news is
contained in circular issued by the De-
partment of Agriculture calling the at
tention of sportsmen and game dealers
to the outbreak and asking for more in
formation on which to base treatment
and protective measures. While not
enough is known about the disease to
make diagnosis absolutely certain. it is
suspiciously like the dreaded "grouse
disease" that for 100 years has been
playing havoc with the game birds
in England. The centers of infection in
this country are only just being located,
and If more information is gained it is
possible that quarantine measures NAV
be resorted to.
The grouse disease outbreak in En-
gland was first noted in 1917, and since
then it has swept over England and
Scotland, causing, as many sporting
writer's declare, more havoc in its
lghtest years than all the double-bar-
relied guns in both countries. 1t is
most prevalent in seasons such as
we have had in this country this
year, cold, wet and delayed spring,
which restricts the birds feedings
and causes them to crowd more closely
together, giving the infection better
chance to spread. The grouse disease
has been studied scientifically and has
been found to emanate largely from,
parasiter. The great increase in in
'sects and the thousands of new vari.
eties showing up every decade is
thought by many to go hand in hand
with the increase of the English spar.

DEATH IN QUICK LUNCHES.

Quick lunches are blamed for the
suicide of Florence H. Brough, pretty
singer in the st. James Episcopal
church choir, Chicago,
Her physician declared the cause of
her death had been traced to quick
lunches. He added that so per cent. of
the deaths by suicide in Chicago are
caused by the quick-lunch habit. Other
Chicago physicians concurred in this
statement. ''The quick lunch-the fooc
and the system-drive to suicide" was
the declaration.

DREADFUL DISAPPOINTMENT.
Fathers Are Careless OfTheir Chill
dren's Feelings.


Anyone who remembers the poignant
anguish which children, especially very
small ones, suffer when disappointed
will appreciate the pathos of this true
story.
A devoted mother of three small chill
dren who lived in the country, where
giddy dissipations were few and far be-
tween, had promised them that they
should attend the birthday party of a
little friend who lived two or three miles
away. The long summer days for a
whole week were filled with bliss of
joyous anticipation; the little white
dresses and blouses where newly laun-
dered and many were the speculations as
to whether the ice cream would be white
or pink.
The day before the long fes-
tivity the mother was suddenly called
away to the bedside of sick sister,
after extorting solemn promise from
the paternial relative that he would per-
sonally conduct his offspring to the
party. Imagine her feelings when, a
day or two later, she received the fol-
lowing note from her baby boy, aged 4
years, printed in large, struggling capi-
tails and replete with agony in spite OF
its brief simplicity:

THREE FRIENDS.

OF all the blessings which my life has known
1 value most, and most praise God for three
Want Loneliness and Pain, those comrades true
Who masqueraded in the garb of foes
For many year, and filled my heart with dread
Yet tickle joys, like false pretentious friends
Have proved less worthy than this trio First
Want taught me labor, led me up the steep
And toilsome paths to hills of pure delight
Trod only by the feet that know fatigue
And yet press on until the heights appear
Then Loneliness and hunger of the heart
Sent me approaching to the realms of space
Till all the silence grew eloquent
And all their loving forces hailed me friend
Last Pain taught prayer; placed my hand the staff
Of close communion with the over-soul
That might lean upon it to the end,
And find myself made strong for any strife
And then these three, who had pursued my steps
Like stern relentless foes, year ssster year.
Unmasked and turned their faces full on me-
And 10! they were diviney beautiful
For through them shone the lustrous eyes of Love
