Francis Joseph, of Austria Hungary
who recently celebrated the Goth an
niversary of his ascension of the throne
is not as old as one would suspect, con,
sidering that the imperial robes have
been worn for three score years. His
investment as emperor took place at is
and this makes him 7S.
From the beginning of his rule his
gentleness and love for his subjects
have ever been conspicuous. Though
the central figure in the most aristo-
cratic court in Europe, he is one of the
most democratic of men. His humility
in washing the feet of twelve poor men
on Good Friday, performance the
world looks upon as mental, gives the
kew to his fondness for others and the
poorest can lay their troubles before
the head of 60000,0O0 people. Hun
gary long ago would have broken the
dual relation only for Francis Joseph.
His strong sense of justice and his low
able nature have kept the hyphenated
empire from dissolution, and it may be
that he has gone so far in conserving
the interests of Hungary that she will
continue the union after the death of
the sovereign.
In the worldwide Fluctuations which
are being extended to the oldest EN-
peror in the world, the United States
tenders her good will and hopes many
more years Of usefulness is in store for
this model monarch.

too late to save the lives OF unfortnn-

wish to do their full duty by the strang-

some places the lesson Of the Fort

1t 10 frequently said that q family
can live for much less In England than
in America, although the details are
seldom given In support OF the state
ment. A committee Of representative
English working men, which visited
America not long ago, has reported that
there is practically no difference In the
price of food in the two countries, and
that in some parts Of England provis-
Ions are more expensive than In New
York Rent Is higher here than in
Great Britain. But even with the
greater rent the American working
man is better Off. for his wages are so
much higher than those paid on the
other side that, as the committee has
reported, the American can save two
dollars as easily as the Englishman
fifty cents The contented workman
is the one who saves fifty cents or two
dollars, rather than the one who
complains that his wages are so small
that he can save nothing. The news
papers noted the death the other day
of a man in Scotland who had never
earned more than eight dollars week,
yet had educated two of his five chill
dren well enough for them to enter the
learned professions, and had a surplus
Of movable property worth two thou
sand dollars. There is in a New Eng
land town shoe worker who, when he
was young man, resolved that he
would save enough out Of his wages to
be able to retire and live on his inter.
est at the age Of sixty. He retired at
the age Of fifty-eight, with home and
a competency; yet he never received
more than fifteen dollars a week. 1t
is men of this type the world over who
are the bone and sinew of their respec-
tive countries. In democracies such as
England and America they control In
a real sense the national policies. The
cost of living does not trouble them
very much, for they have schooled
themselves to adjusting their imme-
diate wants to the necessity of provid-
ing for future when they may rest
from their labors.

Anpeal TO authority NAV be 50 slavlsh

Appeal to authority may be so slavish
or so trivial as to dishonor the author
ity and make the appellant ridiculous
Did Lincoln approve Of reducing the
tariff on wool, and If wood pulp had
been in use in his day, what would he
have thought Of the tariff on that?
What was Paul Jones view of the need
of an American naval station in the
Yappl Yappi Islands? Would Thomas
Jefferson have sanctioned a course in
Celtic in an American university
What would Jackson have thought Of
the Aldrich currency bill? These ques-
tions are no more absurd than many
which are seriously discussed in jour
nails and assembly halls. Great men
are great precisely because they act In
obedience to principles which are too
deep and broad to bind the answers to
specific questions which arise in after
times.

Now that a hotel at Fort Wayne,

Two Types of Biographical writing.

1t is an interesting fact in the his
tory of literary genius that two of the
great examples of, biographical writing
occur almost side by side. Less than a
decade separates the completion of
Johnson's Lives of the Poets from
the publication of his own life by Bos-
well. Yet with the latter book a new
type Of biography came into being
johnson, in the main, had, like most OF
his. predecessors. followed a simple mar
ratiye and expositQry method, pretixing
plain story of the poets life to sys-
tematic account of his character and a
critical estimate of his works He gath
cred his facts and impressions together
and spoke for the author and for him
self Boswell, on the other hand, MAX
ing use of a more dramatic method,
succeeded in his attempt to let the au.
thor reveal himself and, instead Of an
exposition of character. painted a pic
ture Of personality to which his own
comments were subordinate. What we
see as . type of mind and character in
Johnson's work we see as living man
in Professionalism t. Brewster, in

Joshua was an inch or two taller, but
Walter was more than a match for him.
Joshua threw out his arms, delivering his

of effect. Indeed, he was so blinded with
rage that Walter, who kept cool, had
from this cause alone a great advantage
over him. Joshua at length seized HIM,
and he was compelled to throw him down.
