Inasmuch Samuel has just connected

little interest in his willingness to spare

are showing signs of restiveness. They.
or their companies. agreed to put up
something like 5000 a year for this
office in order to ferret out incendiaries

insurance men are democrats as we'll as
republicans. and in any event are more
interested in business than politics.

her companions to the name and some
one suggested, in jest, that the owner
of the name would be surprised If he
received a postal. The idea appealed
to Miss Clark and that night Uncle
Sam carried in one of his mail bags
a penny souvenir postal directed to
Mr.. Brodus, with these words: Are
you in the habit Of leaving your name
behind you in every place you visit?
suppose you want Cape May folks to
remember you" Miss Clark not only
signed the card, but gave her home
address.
The incident had been forgotten by
her a month afterwards, but was WV
idly recalled to her memory when she
received a letter from Mr.. Brodus. The
letter thanked the sender of the postal
for calling the writer's attention to his
boyishness and explained the circum-
stances.
Although realizing it was unconven-
tional, Miss Clark could not resist the
temptation to answer the letter, apollo
giving for her boldness in addressing a
stranger. This missive was unan-
swered and the romance was not like
others, inasmuch as there was no long
distance love-making before the prin-
cipals met.
Cupid prompted Mr.. Brodus to make
another trip east last summer, and he
went to the home of Miss Clark, where
he introduced himself. While sur
prised, the girl received him. He
learned that several old friends OF his
lived in this region, and through these
he convinced Miss Clark that his stand
ing in the community in which he lived
was extremely good. He remained
longer than he intended. The friend
ship which sprang up between the two
ripened into a deeper affection, and a
second visit of the Seattle man last
September resulted in the engage

The Servian people should either ex-
ert some free choice in the selection of
a dynasty, or else have a ruling fam
lily chosen for them. Nothing can be
expected in the way of a prince fit to
rule from either of the rival houses of
Karageorgevitch and Obrenovitch The
present heir to the throne, Prince
George, would seem to be little better
than a maniac of caprice and self will,
with tendencies running to violence
and homicide-a fit plant from that
dollhouse of revolutionary intrigue and
murderous plot, the royal palace at
Belgrade. The Servians have shown
some restiveness under the prospect Of
being ruled by this madcap, who is re-
ported to have surrendered his rights
to the throne when charged with the
brutal murder Of one of his house SER
wants. Whether the surrender will
amount to anything remains to be
seen; but the peace Of southeastern
Europe is so largely bound up with the
quality of Servia's rulership that an
other palace revolution resulting in a
sane dynasty without the faint of MUIR
der In its blood might inaugurate a
better era for this striving little nation
OF two and a half millions.

Citizen and Christian.


A processing Christian and a good
citizen live side by side in a certain
suburb and are good friends, says the
Home Herald. The one has been pray
ing for the conversion of the other for
years and grieving greatly that the
Lord should see fit TO deny his re-
quest. And the good citizen has trav-
eled on, unconcerned by the efforts
which are being put forth in his be-
half, but his front walk is shoveled in
winter, while the other mans is not.
1t Is just a bit of carelessness on the
part of the church member, but, If he
only knew it, his carelessness puts a
barrier up before the answer to his
prayers. His religion would make a
stronger appeal to the unchurched man
II his back yard testified to it as loudly
as his Sunday coat. He might very
well talk little less about his faith
himself and see to ii that the stones
of his sidewalk should rise in their
cleanness and proclaim it to the pass
ers-by If Palestine had been coun-
try of SHOWS and ice, the Bible would
have had something to say about the
carelessness which allows brother to
slip, as well as the negligence that pei
mits him to stumble.
