floor. He bent down and shot under the bed, and under the washstand until a film of yellow dust lay over the whole room, and then he turned to the closet and opened that. There hung Professor Jocolino's other clothes, and Flannery jerked them from the hooks and carried them at arms length to the bed, and shot them.
 AS he was shooting into the pocket of a pair of striped trousers the door opened and Professor Jocolino stood on the thres- hold. There was no doubt in the profes- sor's mind. He was being robbed He drew pistol from his pocket and fired. The bullet whizzed over the bending Elan nerys head, and before the professor could fire a second time Flannery rose and turned and, with a true aim, shot the professor!
 Shot him full in the face with the in sect powder, and before the blinded man could recover his breath or spit out the bitter dose, or wipe his eyes, Flannery had him by the collar and had jerked him to the head of the stairs. It is true; ho kicked him down stairs. Not Insult irgly, or with bad feeling, but In mo- ment of emotional insanity, as the de- fense would say. This was an eXtenuat- ing circumstance, and excuses f4annery, but the professor, being foreigner, could not see the fine point of the distinction and was angry.
 That night the professor did not sleep in Westcote, but the next afternoon he appeared at Mrs. Muldoons, supported by Monsieur Jules, the well known Seventh avenue restauranteur, and Monsieur Re- maud, who occupies an important post as garcon in Monsieur Jules establishment.
 For the keek," said the professor, T care not. have been keel1 before. The keek by one gentleman, him l resent, him I revenge; the keek by the base, him scorn l let the keek go, Madame Mui- doom. Of the keek I say not at all, but the flea! An, the poor fleal Excuse the weep, Madame Muldoonn'
 The professor wept into his handlSer- chief, and the two men looked seriously solemn and patted the professor on the back.
 "Ah, my Alphonse, the flea! The poor leetle fear they cried.
 For the flea have the revengeI' cried the professor fiercely. How you say 1t? For why I bring the educate flea to those States United? Is it that they should be deathed? Is it that a Flannery should make them.dead with a--with such a thing like popgun3s Is it for these things 1 educate, I teach, l culture, l love, l cher ish those flea?

did Solomon, they have fewer wives and better children.
 Far as we are from the correct stand ard of living and even from the correct standard of opinion, on matters pertain ing to domestic relations and social morality, we can not help seeing that in these particulars we have made an irn- mense advance upon antiquity. The flthiest wretch in Birmingham would be ashamed to indulge in such a banquet as Cicero. in one of his letters, described as having been enjoyed by himself and Julius Caesar-the two most accom- plished men in Rome. The details as narrated by Cicero to his bosom friend, are altogether too disgusting to print here.
 The truth is that even among Goddess men the moral tone of the gospel exer- cises a powerful restraining influence. The dignity and the value of human life have been vastly augmented by the fact that Christ brought life and immortality to light through the gospel.

and ate hurriedly and left the table before the others had finished.
 "'Tis in me mind" said Fqannery, when the professor had left, that tn pro- lessor has whole college of thim edu- cated insects. an that he do be lettin' thim have a vacation. Or mebby tn class of 1907 is graduated an turned loose from tn university. I had tn baseball team an tn football gang spendin' tn night with me-"
 "IIol' said Hogan gruffly, "twas tn fellys that does tn high jump an tn long jump an tn wide jump was havin' meet on Hogan. An I will be one of amy ten of us t tell tn professor t call tn scholards back t school agin. I be but plain uneducated man, Missus Muldoon, an I have no wish t speak disrespect' of thim as Is educated, but tn conversation of a gang of Frinch ed ucated feas is annoyin t a man that wants to sleep"
 q will speak t tn professor, gintle- min," said Mrs. Muldoon, "an' remon- strate with him. Mary, me girrl," she added to the maid, who was passing her chair, would ye mind givin me tn least bit of a rub between me shoulders like I will speak t tn professor for have no doubt he has but to say tn worrd t his scholards, an they will all run back where they belong.'
 But the professor did not come back that day. He must have had urgent busi- ness in New York, for he remained there all night, and all the next day, too, and Mrs. Muldoon would have suspected that he had run away. But his bill was paid and his luggage was still in the room and the educated feas, or their nu- merous offspring explored the boarding house at will, and romped through all the rooms as if they owned them If Professor Jocolino had been there he would have had to listen to some forci- ble remonstrances. It was Flannery who at length took the law into his own hands
 It was late Sunday evening. The upper hall was dark and Flannery stole softly down the hall in his socks and pushed open the professors door. The room was quite dark and Flannery stole into it and closed the door behind himself He drew from his pocket an insect powder gun, and fired it. It was an instrument something like bellows, and it fired by a simple squeeze. sending shower of powder that fell in all directions. - It was 0 light yellow powder, and Flannery de- luged the room with 1t. He stole stealth fly about, shooting the curtains, shooting ing the bed, shooting the picture of tho late Mir. Timothy Muldoon, shooting the

 Nor did Reed get along with McK1n- ley Reed felt how superior he was to every other man in the party and 1t en- bittered him beyond expression to see another preferred over him. Besides he did not believe in the Spanish war and was intensely hostile to the acquisition of the Philippines and the policy of ex- pansion. It is a silly story that he was driven from public life by a threat to take tho speal1ership from him. He left 1t in disgust. Had he remained in Con- gress and been deposed from the chair he would have made the republican side a red-hot hell for those who accomplished his humiliation. The White House, as well as the republican side of the House of Represen natives, leaped with joy when Reed voluntarily went to private life.
 And now the G. O. F., at inauspicious hours of the early morn is anxiously walking the floor and asking: "Can standpatter and revisionist make tariff that revises, and thus satisfy the coun- try. If they do it will be a miracle-the unexpected" The "hearings' before the committee of ways and means are daily farces-the old, old story, 2O-times-told tales. It is thought that they disgust the President-elect and delight the speaker.
 One thing is certain, if the republican party does not make tariff that wifi materially reduce the cost of living the people will send a Congress to this town. the first opportunity, that will.

, of you, my people, to pray that God will have compassion on the sins, the weak ness, the youth, and the inexperlence of him who is to be archbishop of York"
 These words characterize the man who is to attain the second most responsible position in the Church of Englaad. ell has been treless in his work in the midst of q workless world in East London He knows the enormous restless moral drift in the poor parts and the mean streets Of our great city.
 The dark ways of Shoreditch and Beth nal Green, E'insbury and Haggerston are familiar to him. He is a man who has been beloved and will be beloved, for he has done more than any other to draw together the men of the Church of Eng land in the bond of brotherhood and In the spirit of loyalty to their church.
 But probably that which is the most significant is the archbishop's former career is the fact that he studied orig inally as a student for the bar.
 When only eighteen years of age he had won a scholarship at Balllo and was a conspicious figure at Oxford Union. He was absorbed in politics and studied law a. the Inner Temple.
 During his leisure hours he spent much time in the East End, and was about to be finally called to the bar when suddenly he removed his name from the lists of the candidates, he entered theological college, and was ordained.
 It is curious that Dr. Lang succeeds Archbishop Maclagan, who was himself a soldier in one of the Guards regiments and who gave up the military profession to enter the church. To both men a clear call had come. and both strenEously fol- lowed tho way they were bidden to take

 But 1t must be admitted that women like Penelope and Portia were probably exceptional in the ancient heather world. One who reads and ponders the satires of Horace and of Juvenal will be shocked and disgusted at the prevailing uncleanness even in high places in the old Roman society. And in modern times the men who have broken loose from the restraints of the Christian code have not, as a rule, been distinguished for the

 TARNEST Christians, who feel that E they are indebted to their religion A< for all that they prize most highly in their own lives, are In danger of claim ing for Christianity certain social and do- mestic results which have by no means been confined to Christian nations, nor to Christian times. For instance, we often hear of what Christianity has done for women, and If we are to believe the statements of some extravagant apolo- gists, we must conclude that women, among all the heather nations and in alf~ periods of the worlds history, have been and are only the slaves or the play things of men.
 Any tolerably full knowledge of Greek and of Roman history will effectually dis pose of this claim. In the history of Greece there were periods when the Greek matron was held in the highest esteen for her virtue and for her eminent fit- ness to be the bosom companion of a mo- ble husvand.

 Poor manl' said Mrs. Muldoon.

 Mrs. Muldoon raised her hands with gesture of wonderment.
 And listen to that, noww she cried in astonishment. Mike Flannery. do you be thinkin' tn professor has two of them? Sure. and he must have two of them, for was 1t not meself was think in all last night I had tn same ed ucated flea for a bedfelly?

 Well, as for that, Mike Flannery,' said Mrs. Muldoon, mischievously, as she arose from the table, "go on along with ye, and don't be bringin' tn blush t me face. but whin q want t find tn one I was speakin' of I won't have t walk away from meself t find him this minutel'
 At the breakfast table the next morn = ing Professor Jocolino sat silent and moody in his place, his head bent over his breakfast, but the nine other men at the table eyed him suspiciously. So did Mrs. Muldoon. There was no question now that Professor Jocolino had lost his educated flea There was, in fact, ground for the belief that the professor had had more than one ed- ucated flea, and that he had lost all of them. There was also a belief that however well trained the lost might be in some ways their manners had not been carefully attended to and that they had not been trained to be well behaved when making visits to utter strangers. A beast or bird that will force itself upon the hospitality of an utter stranger unasked and then bits its host, may be well educated, but 1t is not polite. The boarders looked at Professor Jocolino and drowned. The professor looked stolidly at his plate
