Liberia has lately lost nominal con.
troll OF part OF the territory over which
the congress OF the black republic was
supposed to exercise sovereignty. A
new treaty with France has been ne
gotiated, delimltIng the boundaries OF
the republics country to the advan.
tage OF France. The French insist
that in view OF the ignorance OF the
natives in the interior OF the existence
OF any independent government on the
coast, It is not encroachment on an In.
dependent power for the French to
push their boundaries seaward. As
Liberia is an independent power. the
protection Of It's territory is matter
for its government. and not for out
siders. American friends of the coun
try may regret that the experiment o.
setting up negro republic has no
been more successful. but they mus
face the facts.

II is the opinion OF DR.. HIrsch that
children are entitled 10 fairy tales
They are one OF the pleasures OF youth
which stern old people trying to raise
them by rules should not take from
them. The old people shouldn't be so
particular anyway. They like fairy
tales themselves. The young woman
who, firing of her job OF scTabbIng the

tells a tale OF millionaire papa, will
keep the grown-ups open-mouthed and
calling for more. until some one tele-

prosperity and West Point.

The present shortage Of 10 or more
IN the authorized strength OF the
cadet corps at West Point is not ex'
planned by the superintendent as due
entirely to the severity OF the entrance
examinations. There has been in re-
cent years an increasing number OF
appointees who have failed to report
at the academy for their examinations
in this years new class the number
reaching 70. The average boys burn
ing desire 10 be a soldier, particularly
an officer, appears TO have been cor
rupted by the "commercialism' OF our
times, according to the army view. for
the superintendent of West Point re-
marks: 1t is believed that the more
lucrative pursuits and greater fields
for promotion Of private life are di-
yerting young men from these careers
of small pay and slow promotion In
our country's service" Thus pros.
perity has hit both ends Of the army

Here comes correspondent who
undertakes to show that DR.. Holmes
didn't originate the title of the At.

rowed from another magazine which
bore that name a quarter Of n cen

In New York. Whether DIR. Holmes
originated the name or not. there is
not much doubt. says the Boston Her.
aid. that he selected It for the Boston
publication and that his selection was
duly acknowledged by the proprietors
OF the magazine. Besides. 1t furnished
the occasion for the preparation of
