Those who impute to us national

restraint and kindly consideration OF
the feelings of our tormentors. Un-
doubtedly altruism is one Of the finest
jewels in the moral crown, but 1t has
its limits. and at the close of sea-

debates 1t seems fitting time to pro-
test against their being stretched be-
yond the point of human endurance by
downright bores In the shape of chair

advisability of stiff civil service
course for chairmen who apparently
are of the firm conviction that they

Boxer indemnity, is of the most brilliant and

he is American in many ways, having received
his early education at Springfield, Mass. He
arrived there in 1874, when IL years old became
guest of the family of E. C. Gardner, but later
moved to Hartford Conn, where he attended the
high school, preparatory to his entrance into
