A broad humanitarianism inspired
Campbell Bannerman's policies and
personal beliefs. He was the enemy
of jingoism and devoted to the cause
of peace; he frankly sympathized with
the rights of weak peoples and with
equal sincerity cultivated the good
will of the great powers; he was the
friend of Ireland's interests; he labored
to bring about social reforms in the
way Of small holdings of land and bet
ter conditions for the working classes,
and he offended many class interests

was the best representative that Great

would decorate the grave of a favorite
pussy that had been buried under the
pear tree In the back yard. So they
marched to the spot, one behind the
other. The first child, who carried a
drum. was the band, and the second.
with tiny flag. was the Grand Army.
Before they reached the grave. a lot
OF old hens ran in front of the process
sion.
''Shoo, shoo,' cried the band.
Don't do that, sister" said the sec
ond division. Don't scare them
away. They're the N'oman's Relief
