Live MuIe. Dead Boar.

An odd hunting adventure recently
befell a British officer in India. He
was mounted on a feet mule and was
running down a Wild boar, intending
to lance 1t, when the animal turned,
bit the mules leg and then fed again.
The mule screamed savagely, and in
minute she had deposited the officer
on the ground Then, kicking out
vigorously five or six times, as If to
see that her legs were all right, she
started after the unfortunate pig at
lightning speed, with fury in her eyes
and vengeance In the crook Of her
ears. The race was not long, and the
wild boar soon realized that he had
exaspePated a relentless enemy. He
was soon winded, and the mule. COM
ing up with him, caught him by the
backbone with her teeth, crunched 1t
and threw him to the ground and
then, before he could rise, kicked him
so viciOusly that be was a dead boar
In less than no time. Then the mule
returned to her master and gave utter
ance to a "heehaw" Of triumph.

Hatred is born of ignorance, love
of sympathy and understanding. When
somebody once heard Charles Lamb
rOundly denOuncing a man with whom
he was not acquainted, he asked the
usually gentle essayist how he could
hate man he did not even know, to
which Lamb replied: "If I did know
him how could I hate him." The
people whom We hate are the people
We do not know. The deserts, rivers
and mountains of the world, so long
as they were well-nigh impossible,
made the separated nations enemies.
The bridge, the steamer, the railroad,
the telegraph, the printed page make
for international friendship.
Only little over a hundred years
ago it was customary for the people
in English country villages to turn
their dogs upon a newcomer not be-
cause he might happen to be a beg

One is not surprised that war should
have been popular when such a state
Of mind was common.
There is nothing but national sci
fishness to provoke war at present.
The Old-time ignorance with which
Hugo GrOtius, the first advocate of
universal peace, had to contend, is
thing of the past. The antipathies

the other peace-loving Quakers en-

The object of this conference is

now interest the majority of human

Haeckel, which holds that man is but
