Two men stood face to face. A
lover and husband.
One with hope in his heart, the 9TH
er maddened by his wrongs.
You have come for my wife," he
said slowly. "She is not here, but
you shall go to her."
The lover staggered back and fell
heavily with groan to the earth.
Only a cloud of smoke rose between
his body and the womans husband.
No horror crept through the murder
er's veins.
"They are together now," he said,
"in the land Of falsehood and treach,
cry. Let them love there If they can"
Two days later the police received a
detailed account of the crime, writ
ten by the slayer's hand, telling them
where to find the murdered man.
you need not seek for me-" he
wrote, in conclusion. Il have gone
where no one will discover me. JUS
tice has been done, and that is
enough"
Here the writing ceased abruptly,
and the two men the woman had de-
ceived were buried in oblivion.

COMPEL NO CHANGE
SLAYlNG OF RULERS ALWAYS
WITHOUT EFFECT.
Disraeli's Assertion That "Assassina,
ton Has Never Changed the His
tory of the World" Is Truth
Beyond Question.

Political fanatics apparently never
will believe with Disraeli that "as-
sassination has never changed the
history of the world"
In Portugal they evidently hoped
by the murder of the royal family to
overthrow the monarchy. Repeatedly
some analogous notion has possessed
assassins. They have always been
disappointed, but it is astonishing
how slightly the numerous political
murders have influenced the course
of history, says the Kansas City Star.
The killing of Caesar is an example
of the futility of assassination. 1t was
done on the ground that he had sub
verted the republic and had estab-
lished himself as a virtual dictator.
Brutus, one of the leaders in the plot,
was the typical political dreamer,
high-minded, devoted to advanced
principles, impractical. He failed to
see that the character of the people
had changed so that the old republic
was no longer possible and that
Caesar was dealing with the situation
as practical man. The assassina-
tion could not alter national character
so it failed to restore the republic and
the Caesarian regime was continued
by the practical Augustus.
William of Orange, leader of the
Netherlands revolt against Spain, was
killed by order of the Spanish king.
But the murder did not pacify the in
surgents and the revolt was carried
through to independence by other
leaders.
Henry ". of France, the greatest
of the Bourbon kings, was killed by
q religious fanatic who resented his
tolerance toward the Huguenots. But
the edict of Nantes, which granted
freedom of religion, was not affected
by the kings death. 1t remained ef-
fective for nearly a century and final
ly was revoked by Louis XIV, as a
part of his general policy of unifying
the realm.
Alexander II. of Russia was muir
dered by conspirators who hoped by
terrorism to do away with the Rus
sian autocracy. The effect of the as
sassination was precisely the reverse
of what had been planned. 1t hap
pened that the proclamation announc-
ing the granting of a constitution was
in type when Alexander died. His son
repressed it and the autocracy was
more firmly established than ever 1t
was not until the lapse of quarter of
a century had flooded Russia with Eu-
ropean enlightenment that freedom
began to establish itself under consti-
tutional forms.
The murders of presidents-of
Lincoln, Garfield, Carnot, Mckinley
were without political effect.
In general, men in authority who
stand for some definite policy repre-
sent at least a strong faction in the
nation. If they are removed from
office by death the policy usually finds
expression through another leader.
The assassin cannot destroy the ideas
that his victim represents. That is
why Disraeli's assertion has proved
apnroximately correct.

ALL AFTER THE BLUE RIBBON
Remarkable unanimity of knowledge
in Sunday School Class.

Now, children" said the teacher OF
the infant class of a Sunday school, -
told you last Sunday that each of you
who learned verse from the Bible
and recited it to-day would receive 4
large blue ribbon. Let me see how
many of you have learned verse"
There were 20 or 80 boys and girls
from four to eight years of age ranged
about her in a circle. For moment
there was no response to her question.
Then bright looking girl timidly
raised a hand.
"Ah! Julia has learned verse;" the
teacher said. II am sorry that nc
more hands are raised. / had hoped
that nearly all of you would get blue
ribbon. But l suppose your mammas
and papas have been very busy and
some of you forgot. Well, Julia, let us
hear your verse"
Walk in the light" the little girl
repeated. Then a boy who sat near
Julia put up his hand.
"Oh!" exclaimed the teacher, Char.
lie has verse, too. What is it, my
boy?"
Walk in the light" responded
Charlie.
Well" said the teacher, you
learned the same verse, didn't YOU?
It's very good verse. too, Walk in
the light l hope we may all do so.
Now, is there any one else who has
learned verse? Why, I see five,
six, seven, eight hands raised will
hear from you, Arthur, first"
Walk In the light" said Arthur.
The teacher looked rather hard at
Arthur. and said:
Gladys next. What is your verse;
Speak out loudly so that all the class
may hear"
Walk in the light" shouted
Gladys.
By this time all but two of the
children who had not been heard from
We're holding up their hands. The
teacher looked at boy whose name
she had forgotten and asked: What
verse have you learned?"
Walk in the light" replied the
whole crowd in chorus, each little one
apparently fearing there would not
be another chance to win the blue
ribbon.

Toledo citizens have been very gen
erous in contributing funds for various
public charities and other purposes,
but they still have great duty to
perform-they should buy a new base
ball team-one that can play ball-and
dump the present crowd of buffers
into the bay. The name of Toledo is
becoming the laughing stock of the
State by reason of the bum aggrega-
tion that travels around the country
posing as base ball players represent
ing Toledo.
