nounced that he would hear jurors
who had excuses to offer for not sery-

crowded up to the bench to tell their
troubles. Their excuses were as
varied as those who were hidden to

One had an important engagement
and another could not hear very we'll,
and another had sickness in his fam
lily, and another had duties to per-
form which nobody else on earth could

He had worked with his hands,
Shared the annoyances of his compan-
ions, and known the joys of indepen.
dence and self-support. He had dis.
covered the trappings Of courts to be
shallow emblems and taWdry when
COntrasted with the true coats of prim-
tive nature. He had learned that men
when stripped Of outward rank and
position were very similar, and could
demand only such respect from their
fellows as they were entitled to by
merit. Honest cOmpanionship which
sought no other return was a price
less treasure. Aud now with this new
view Of life stronger in health and I'M
jaundiced in mind, he was glad to ally
himself and his empire in a movement
which promised advancement without
conquest and gain without aggression.
The drums of war sounded very hol-
low, and their unmusiCal beatings
were dying away in the distance, going
to ingl0rious silence and disuse. 1t
was better so!

He stood erect, lifted his glass high In
the air until the lights above caught

reverence said:

International jealousy and suspicion

international jealousy and suspicion
seems to be playing a part in that
South American squabble. Peru. which
has long been more or less at odds
with Chile and sometimes at open
war with that neighbOr, is reported
TO be very angry because Chile has
offered to supply arms and ammuni-
ton to Bolivia, with which Peru has
a little miXup over the boundary
question. But it is possible that
Chile really is moved to take this
step by feeling toward Argentina. 1t
was the president Of Argentina who
rendered the boundary decision which
SO stirred up Bolivia. Chile is rival
OF Argentina and seeks to surpass that
country in progress. and there you
are. But would it not be much bet
ter all round if these South American
republics would cease their conten.
doas and seek common ground on
which they could unite in efforts for
the general good?
